TBC Anniversary Warlock 60–70 Guide for Season 1

If you’re planning to push TBC Anniversary Season 1 as a Warlock, preparation and efficiency matter more than raw playtime. With account-wide attunements changing how progression works, a clean leveling and reputation route can save you dozens of hours. And if you want to stay focused on progression instead of farming gold early, many players choose to stock up safely with TBC Classic gold from SSEGold so they can jump straight into dungeons, gearing, and PvP without delays.
Of course if you want to skip all the grind, you can directly choose SSEgold's Warlock 60-70 boosting service.

This guide follows a proven dungeon-first route that prioritizes heroic unlocks, Karazhan attunement, and PvP readiness as fast as possible.

Account-Wide Attunements Explained

One of the biggest changes in TBC Anniversary is account-wide heroic attunements.

• Your first character still needs Revered reputation to unlock heroics

• Once unlocked, alts only need Friendly, thanks to account-bound keys

• Your main becomes a setup character for your entire account

Because of this, the goal is simple:
Do the heavy grind once, do it efficiently, and never redo it.

Pre-Dark Portal Preparation

Before stepping through the Dark Portal, you should clear future bottlenecks:

• Cap or near-cap Honor

• Stockpile PvP marks

• Finish key pre-quests

• Prepare consumables and bags

Starting Gear

A mix of Rank 10 PvP gear and battleground pieces is more than enough to smooth early dungeon spam.

Best Warlock Specs for Leveling

Dungeon Cleave Builds

• Demonic Sacrifice / Destruction

• Deep Destruction with Shadowfury (best with strong PvP gear)

• Felguard (Demonology) if undergeared or groups are unstable

Felguard is extremely flexible and works well if you’re mixing dungeon spam with solo quests.

Solo Questing & PvP Servers

• Demonic Sacrifice + Siphon Life if geared

• Deep Affliction if undergeared

• Soul Link Affliction for PvP servers and open-world survivability

Reputation Rule You Must Follow

Never turn in quests until you reach Honored through dungeon runs first.
This ensures maximum reputation efficiency and avoids wasted rep later.

Level 60–63: Hellfire Peninsula

Level 63–64: Zangarmarsh

Level 64–65: Shattrath & Mana-Tombs

• Travel to Shattrath

• Choose Aldor (spell power benefit for PvP)

• Complete City of Light chain

• Pick up Mana-Tombs quests

• Spam Mana-Tombs until level 65

• Avoid Auchenai Crypts for now to prevent Sha’tar rep waste

• Spam Sethekk Halls to:

  • Reach Honored with Lower City

  • Level to ~80% of 68

Final Thoughts: Day-One Season 1 Ready

This route takes you from Dark Portal to arena-ready with minimal backtracking and maximum efficiency. It’s designed for players who want heroics unlocked, Karazhan open, and PvP gear ready the moment Season 1 starts.

If you want to stay focused on dungeon spam, reputations, and PvP prep instead of grinding gold endlessly, many Warlocks prepare ahead of time by picking up TBC Anniversary gold or directly a 60-70 boost from SSEGold, giving them the freedom to push progression without slowing down.

Tweak the order if needed, but stick to the principles—and you’ll be ahead of the curve on day one.
