Welcome to our Mage leveling guide. Here you will find all youneed to know to level up your Mage efficiently. In addition, you may wishto check out our general Leveling guide,complete with detailed information on XP, mounts, addons, consumables, tips, andmore.

Mages are more than capable of solo levelling in Dragonflight. Mages havemultiple specs that can kill stuff quickly and get around quickly at the same time.Additionally, Mages have a lot of control which allows them to avoid most damage.
1.1.
Best Leveling Spec for Mage in Dragonflight
We recommend Frost for most of your Mage Leveling needs.This is because almost all spells of Frost will slow or root your targets,allowing you to kite very easily. It also has a lot of burst damage for low healthenemies which allow you to quickly kill most quest mobs.

Both Fire and Arcane are decent leveling specs as well. Especially Arcanewhen using Heirlooms can very quickly kill individual targets.

Best Heirloom Items for Mage Leveling in Dragonflight
When purchasing Heirloom Items for Leveling in general, we recommendpicking the Heirloom items that have the highest amount of Haste possible.Haste speeds up the spec in almost every way, allowing you to quickly breezethrough your rotation, and move on to the next mob more quickly.
Haste is also useful for being a little bit quicker to tag mobs around you.A split second can make the difference between you getting a tag, or losingit to another player.
