Blizzard has implemented a new Battle for Azeroth 8.0.1 hotfix that reduces the amount of experience required to level up between level 40 and 100.

The publisher already commented on the game’s leveling speed following the launch of the Battle for Azeroth 8.0 pre-patch earlier this month. “Since the pre-patch we’ve made a large number of hotfixes and changes to leveling content, and are continuing to find and fix bugs wherever possible”, Blizzard wrote. “The intention was never to make leveling slower than it was in 7.3.5.”

As said, the new hotfix for patch 8.0.1 speeds up leveling in the level 40-100 bracket. To more precise, experience required between levels 60 and 80 has been lowered by 14% with a smaller reduction at levels 40 to 60 and 80 to 100.

“We've pushed a hotfix that reduces the amount of XP needed for most levels between 40 and 100”, Blizzard wrote on Twitter. “Note that the new required amounts may not always display properly for the time being. We'll have details in the next hotfixes update.”

The full changes included with the new hotfix have been included below:
