RAF over, next steps

[antieuclid]

I'm ending my RAF time with the following characters at 60:
1 Death Knight, 6 Hunters, 1 Rogue, 1 Mage, 3 Paladins, 5 Shamans, 2 Warlocks, 2 Priests, and 1 Druid for a total of 22 level 60s.

My next project is to level professions. Basically I'm making sure that every team has a skinner, herbalist, miner, enchanter, and tailor and then filling second profession slots with mining or tailoring so that by the time everyone's fully leveled I'll have quite the cooldown battery. I also want to get everyone on an epic ground mount without breaking the bank. My plan here is to basically go one toon at a time and buy the mount, level gathering skills (each toon will have at least one) and then sell the gathered mats. Hopefully this will at least mostly recoup the cost of the mount, at which point I'll buy a mount for the next toon and repeat. I suspect I'm going to get very very sick of mining routes by the end.

When I need to take a break from being bored stiff with mining, I'm going to start leveling my 5x Shaman team past 60. Are there any good guides for that? I loved the RAF Multiboxer guide for TourGuide and knowing which NPCs had non-collection quests. Is there any equivalent for 60-80?

I have heard that you can now interact with targets in the new patch so collection quests become a one loot all macro button for your toons, don't quote me though. ANyway back to your original question about non-collection quests......why would you skip them? You say you want all epic ground mounts and eventualy you are going to need epic flyers. You will not lvl your chars to 80 without epic flyers unless you want to grind like a zombie on trash. I know its a pain to have to do the collection quests 5 times but the amount of gold and xp you will get for your party will more than make up for the time spent not too mention the skill ups you will do for your proffs as well. I have played through the classic game and BC xpan with every class in the game and took a dual box pally team to 80 in two weeks of casual play when the xpan came out and as far as collection quests go you will not be akipping them because there are a ton of them and to get some of the best tailoring patterns and stuff you need to get loremaster status for northrend and that means doing them all. I made enough gold from 1-70 to buy each of my three shammies I just leveled an epic ground mount and a non epic flier right away and still had 1500g left between all three. What are you spending your gold on? MOney in the wotlk xpan is a joke to make with the dailies and the sheer amount you get from quests. YOu should have no problem getting your epic flier and frozen flight ability right away at 77 in NR. Don't skip the collection quests you will be sorry you did!
