To efficiently level Valeera to 80 in World of Warcraft Patch 12.1, undertake the Tier 11 Ring of Glory delve on its 'Open Night' story variant, mount up, and collect Mislaid Curiosities using Dundun's Favor and optional mount equipment.
Prerequisites for the Ring of Glory Method
Before starting the leveling farm, several preparations are required:
prerequisites
- Unlock Tier 11 delves: Complete a Tier 10 delve with lives remaining; there is no need to complete a Tier 11 delve.

- Loot Radar Mini: This item highlights nearby Mislaid Curiosities, improving visibility significantly.
- Optional mount equipment: Equip Comfortable Rider’s Barding for daze immunity or Light-Step Hoofplates for increased mount speed.
