Level 90 Boosts Now Available
You are now able to purchase Level 90 Boosts for $60 in game! Your boosted character gets:
- Item level 483 gear. You can quickly upgrade to the epic item level 496 gear from Timeless Isle chests.
- 150 gold
- 4 Embersilk (22-slot) bags
- A stack of 20 food items
- If a boosted character was already level 60 or above, their existing Primary Professions and First Aid are bumped up to level 600, as mentioned above
- A faction-specific flying mount - a traditional Wind Rider for Horde or Gryphon for Alliance
- Artisan flying - that’s one rank below max flight speed
- Northrend, Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms, and Pandaria regional flying skills trained

WoW.... Blizzard really cant wait to rake in that cash.
So if you preordered WOD, you still gotta pay $60 or do you get to use your free 90?

I was leveling with my friend in the last few days, having an absolute blast with him. Now he's going to get the instant 90 and I am left behind, unless i wish to pay 60$USD for the service
Uh no thanks. Guess I'll be leveling the old fashioned way lol
Primary Professions bumped up to 600 if you're 60 or above? O_O
Pretty certain if you pre purchased WoD, it Includes the Level 90 Character Boost that you can use instantly.
Good question. I think that the expansion comes with a free 90. It's just that if you pre-order (when available) you get instant access to the free 90 instead of waiting for the retail release date.
Then if you wanted more 90s you fork over $60 per.
Considering how quickly you can level now I really don't see a big problem. It'd be completely different if took months to level cap like it used to. Jeez, how fast is it now? Couple weeks? If someone wants to give Blizzard $60 to bring another level 90 to the game full of a bajillion level 90s who cares at this point.
There's nothing special about having level capped characters anymore so big whoopty do. More money in Blizzard's pockets means more money they can spend on the games you enjoy is my opinion.
As spiteful of a move that is, i can only cry in solitude for all the poor sods that are actually going to pay for it... and i know there will be THOUSANDS...
If i ever had any hope for 'humanity', now it's finally all shriveled to nothing and same can be said for the company.

- Pay to Play
- Pay to enjoy content
- And now, Pay to skip content

All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
I can see putting them straight onto the Timeless Isle being a very bad idea. For those that don't know, the Timeless Isle is pretty much the ganking capital of WoW right now. You use a bloody coin and turn yourself into a player killer for rewards, its not even avoidable on PvE servers or against players of your own faction.
Also the mobs in the Timeless Isle are not very forgiving to undergeared or new players, although I suppose they already have their $60, so it probably doesn't matter if they rage quit.
Is the instant 90 thing tradeable? I ask because I would never use mine if I had one.
Why would I want to "avoid repeating content" from leveling just to get another lvl 90 to...repeat lvl 90 content...
Because why grind levels when you can grind endgame

Why grind end-game which will inevitably become, well, not end-game after the next expansion? Just pay them to do it for you!
bleh takes what 2-4 weeks to max level ? 1 if your playing 24/7.
I dont like this, but i dont really see it effecting many people, Shitty move but blizzard sold out a longggggg time ago.
reading the reddit comments - yes
can get 2 primary professions bumped from skill 1 to 600 if you are level 60-89
level 90 chars seem ineligible to buy the boost -- for tradeskills alone

Looking on the bright side this will hopefully help people to burn out on WoW a little faster and that's probably for the best.
I used to think this would also make one more step towards a FTP WoW but I can't even think of any FTP games that sell level boosts like this and people expect that worst outa them.

It doesn't even take that long. I leveled a Pandoran Monk from 1-90 in about a week and a half. Granted, I was off work for about a week over that time period and played a lot more than normal but it wasn't a crazy 24/7 amount of time, either.
