I have 3 or 4 full teams stuck at 80 and just one full team at 90+.
I love to instance level and I don't love to instance level through cata.
I think if I take a full afternoon to really whack at it, I can just quest or grind through cata, but I'm not sure where to go.
Anyone have any tips?
I use elixir of the rapid mind and boost myself or get boosted.. a couple of runs through Blackrock Caverns.. and a couple through Stonecore then it's done. After that Temple of the Jade serpent... only popping the pot just before the last boss dies.
If your team is a full 5 man then you can just quest - it's not too bad with full looms.
Instance running through Cata isn't terrible at all. If you don't like grinding dungeons it can be painful.
Questing isn't terrible except for when phasing gets in your way.
If you put it off another 3 months or so the exp needed to level through 100 will be lowered and speed things up a bit. They do that every expansion.
on the live dev chat they said this is going to start being undone. as the boost fills need for this. so i don't think we see it any faster then it is to be fair cata>mop>wod are all kinda fast then bc wotlk seems to be the slowest and the bit i hate.Quote:

Boosting from one slot is certainly an idea, I'm planning to swap out slot 4 at 85 anyway, maybe I'll just give them a slot 4 guardian. Pots are still 4k gold each, kind of spendy, but I suppose I can afford it.
What I don't get is why they still leave the xp jumps in place. Why not let you do wrath heroics for real XP until 82? BC heroics to 72? There are so many "end level only" dungeons in this game and I like them and I'd like to do them when I level for reasonable benefit.
Multiboxers tend to have gold, even when we are not actively grinding it. haha
What server are you on Lux? I may try to log and team and we can compare completion/level times. Sorta make it fun and feel less grindy

Invite sent, I think I'm going to swap up a higher toon in slot 4 for one dungeon and then boost a couple of levels tonightQuote:

To be honest, I don't think I've ever tried this when my experience wasn't locked, but do heroics of the prior expansion just not give good XP? Is there no boss kill or completion bonus XP for them or something?Quote:
