Mechagon in Kul Tiras has some interesting opportunities for leveling. As an endgame zone in Battle For Azeroth Mechagon was not designed with leveling in mind, and Blizzard have done their usual thing and used a crude algorithmic solution. This invariably causes wacky things to happen.

In order to level from 51-60 , you must party sync your leveling character down to 50 for this to work. I have mentioned how to do this a number of times here and in public videos but to recap: your leveling character must join a group with a sub-50 character who has some form of chromie timewalking switched on, and turn on party sync.

Mechanized Chests

Several people mentioned the "mechanized" chests that appear randomly around Mechagon. Use the handynotes add-on and its dependency handynotes: Mechagon if you want to try this. This isn't a bad option, the chests award 5k rested xp, about 2/3 of a quest, but there aren't really enough of them to do this continuously. 

"Dumped" NPC Mobs, Very High XP, Limited Spawns

The really interesting part of Mechagon for leveling purposes is the bugged mobs. My youtube viewer C Mel pointed me a towards a mob called "Dumped Grease" . https://www.wowhead.com/npc=155012/dumped-grease  (66,65) in a location called the Outflow.

Dumped Greases are awarding way too much experience. Similar mobs in the area with the same health award only a fraction of the experience. There is another mob in the same area  called "Dumped Experiment" which also offers bugged experience gains.

The main problem with these mobs is that there are only a few of them and they don't re-spawn especially fast. You can break up farming them by finding chests and/or pet battling the Gnomefeaster battle pet in the Outflow. However I found an even better option.

The "Scrapbone Grunter"

The Scrapbone Grunter mobs in the North Of The Zone also award far too much xp for their level, albeit not quite as much as the dumped mobs. There are however many more of them. The only issue with farming them is trying to avoid pulling the other mobs in the area at the same time which can slow things down a bit,

With a bit of practice you can level 50-60 in 4-5 hours* by going between the dumped mobs and the Grunters whilst picking up the occasional mechanized chest.

I'd greatly appreciate feedback on this exploit: I actually made a video for youtube about it and then considered this is patreon-level content that should not go public. But if patreons do not find value in it I would like to release that video. 

*This depends on a realm with a Mechagon mostly empty of players, which is currently Mechagon's default state on most realms. This is part of the reason why I didn't release this publicly.
