Alright, adventurer. You want to level up faster in Azeroth? Let’s discuss the Draught of Ten Lands. You’ve heard its power. Maybe you’ve seen it mentioned in taverns. Or perhaps your experience bar moves slower than a snail. Whatever the reason, you’re in the right place for this experience-boosting elixir.
What is the Draught of Ten Lands?
First, let’s solve the mystery of this potion. The Draught of Ten Lands isn’t a mythical artifact hidden in ancient ruins. It’s a useful item in World of Warcraft. Chugging down a Draught of Ten Lands grants a 10% increase to your experience gains. Yes, ten percent! It gives your leveling journey a welcome turbo boost. It won’t catapult you to level cap overnight. However, over time, those percentage points add up, speeding your trek through Azeroth.
Before you picture rivers of this XP-boosting goodness flowing freely, know it’s not given out like candy. You can’t find it while picking flowers or looting kobolds. Acquisition is more… curated. It’s a reward for your service during the Battle for Azeroth expansion. fighting for the Alliance or Horde in Kul Tiras and Zandalar? This potion ties to that conflict.
Horde: Where to Get the Draught
For glorious of the Horde aiming for this XP elixir, your destination is Dazar’alor. This golden city in Zandalar was the heart of the Zandalari Empire. Also, it served as a key Horde hub during the Battle for Azeroth. Inside this vast area, you’ll find what you seek. Dazar’alor is big, and shouting “Potion vendor!?” won’t help. You must look for specific vendors who deal in war spoils, like 7th Legion Service Medals (more on that soon).
Vendors offering rewards related to your faction’s war efforts in Battle for Azeroth are usually in main faction hubs. In Dazar’alor, look near the Great Seal or the docks. These areas house many Battle for Azeroth vendors and quest givers. Search for vendors selling items that require 7th Legion Service Medals. They likely have the Draught of Ten Lands. No neon signs flash “XP POTIONS HERE!” so some vendor browsing might be needed. But really, the slight boost in leveling speed is worth a few minutes of vendor hopping.
Dragonflight and Getting Your XP Boost
With Dragonflight full swing and the Dragon Isles beckoning, the Draught of Ten Lands is still good for speeding up your leveling. Especially for those alts you might want to use again. The method of acquisition is still consistent: you’ll buy it. The locations in Dragonflight remain accessible. Whether you’re an Alliance hero or a Horde champion, head to Boralus or Dazar’alor respectively.
For Alliance players, visit the seafaring city of Boralus in Kul Tiras. For Horde players, as mentioned, Dazar’alor in Zandalar is your stop. These cities may not be new hubs in Dragonflight, but they still have vendors willing to trade experience boosts for your past service. They’re effectively saying, “Thanks for saving Azeroth, here’s something for your adventures.” Thoughtful, yet slightly mercenary.
The Price: 7th Legion Service Medals
Let’s discuss currency. You can’t just offer vendors shiny pebbles or interesting lint pieces. No, for the Draught of Ten Lands, the currency of choice is 7th Legion Service Medals. You’ll need to spend 5 medals to get one draught for that 10% XP boost. Five medals isn’t a big deal, but it’s good to know where they come from. And whether they’re available in Dragonflight.
7th Legion Service Medals (or Honorbound Service Medals for Horde) were earned during the Battle for Azeroth expansion. These were rewards for various war campaign activities. Consider these:
- World Quests in Kul Tiras and Zandalar: Completing faction-specific quests often awarded medals.
- Warfronts: Taking part in and completing Warfronts granted a chunk of medals.
- Island Expeditions: Sailing to uncharted islands and collecting Azerite also gave medals, but perhaps less directly than Warfronts.
In Dragonflight, medals aren’t dropping from wildlife or as rewards for Dragonflight world quests. However, the activities from Battle for Azeroth still exist. If you’re dedicated (or masochistic), grind out Warfronts or quests in Kul Tiras or Zandalar for more medals. Is this a good use of time in Dragonflight? Maybe not. You might level faster without the potion or find other XP-boosting options more readily available in the current expansion.
If you have medals gathering dust from your Battle for Azeroth adventures, spending 5 for a Draught of Ten Lands is a good deal. You essentially recycle old spoils into a leveling advantage. Think of it as using past victories for future gains.
Is the Draught of Ten Lands Worth It?
The key question is: is this potion worth the effort? It depends. If you have 7th Legion Service Medals and are leveling an alt, then yes! A 10% XP boost for some medals is a no-brainer. It’s a small investment for notable leveling speed.
If you start with zero medals and consider grinding old Battle for Azeroth content for this potion, then the answer is likely “meh.” There are likely better ways to spend your time leveling in Dragonflight. The Dragon Isles offer a smooth leveling experience, and other XP boosts, like rested experience and new consumables in Dragonflight, exist. Spending hours grinding old content for a tiny boost feels like using a horse-drawn carriage in a Formula 1 race—technically possible but not optimal.
Ultimately, the Draught of Ten Lands is a handy tool in your leveling arsenal if you have the medals. It’s a legacy item with utility. Don’t strain yourself to acquire it if starting from scratch. There are plenty of dragons to slay and quests to complete in Dragonflight. Those will likely be more enjoyable paths to level cap. If ing through Boralus or Dazar’alor anyway, and have spare medals, treat yourself to an XP boost! Every little bit helps, right?
