My journey handleveling 5x shamans using RaF and one weak computer

RAF is OP. I'm about to start my third team from 1-60 and I think I'm going to set up macros before I create them, use some summoning tricks to save travel time, and log out instead of afking to see what kind of time I can get from 1-60. Just to keep myself interested and make the best use of the RAF 90 days. Although, /played can hardly be proven anymore with gift leveling. I'm sure there are some 10 minute /played 60's running around now.

A good idea to set up macros before hand. Also use summoning to your best ability. An idea is to plan out what you want to do before hand, what quests and what not. then park some of you other toons at those locations. Jump on one of your other alts, summon main, then summon all the friends.

Ex. Water totem quest, had a mage at the water part, and one at TM. When I was doing my quests, i summoned to TM, then hearth to XR, when summon was back up later, i used the other for the final turn in near Sepulcher. HUGE Travel timesaver.

I love RAF btw.

Man that's nice, I'm over 6 days played just to hit 60 last weekend. Well I guess I can't say it was all a waste. i'm very Comfortable doing instances now. Also got to see some content this time around I skipped the first time (a few instances). That was neat. I also almost did a completely clear in BRD, I’m sure there was one or two I missed. I also did scholo this time around instead of strat. I will do strat after I’m finished with hellfire quests.

If you’re going to start doing instances normally BRD is a pretty decent one to start at to get the hang of it. Scholo is pretty hard. I picked up 2 deeds for the quest in there at level 58. I had to drink after every pull and it was a bit hard. So I went to the outlands got a level and about 6 -7 pieces of gear and came back. Was night and day, also dinged 60 while I was in there getting the other 2 deeds. Still a bit tough in there.

Your setup makes me think my computer might even be able to handle 5 going at once...if I had a bit more RAM....

Ah that's nice, a double post :( I might as well ask if any shamans have objections to my macro posted above!

Yeah that's probably good to have some testrun in a level 60 instance before going ramparts. Any 5 shaman boxer who can tell me if they could go ramparts at 61?~

Yeah for sure, it was a part of my post to show that anyone can multibox on a single core CPU and only 2gb' s of RAM, a little bit slowish at times but still managable!

Friday Night - Undead Mage & Undead Warlock.
1 - 10 Noob zone to Brill.
10 - 20 SFK (w/ 70 Paladin)
20 - 40 SM Cathedral & Armory @ 12 min clears. (w/ 70 Paladin)
Mage Portal to Stonard, Run to Kargath.
7 hours, 50 mins later, Ding 41 @ BRD.

Sunday - Tauren Shaman x 2.
1 - 10 Noob zone to Mulgore (bind hearthstone).
Mage Portal to UC.

10 - 20 SFK (w/ 70 Paladin)

20 - 40 SM Cathedral & Armory @ 12 min clears (w/ 70 Paladin)
7 hours, 15 mins later, Ding 40!
Hearthstone back to Mulgore to buy mount. :D

After I realized that just handing in quests in a RAF pairing you got the bonus, I grinded all the strat quests with a 70 for BRD and then was able to hit UBRS/LBRS/WPL/EPL and do the quests there and ding like crazy. The big heavy hitting EPL 9k quests really do a lot. Pretty much so I wanted the onyxia keys made I spend a little silly time.

I have 4 shamans and a mage as the booster.

The only macro I have is the target party1 and heal. Designated Driver mod is a godsend for quickly swapping who is leader of the pack.

Summoning was done by a warlock and then by summon friend. No afk, always logged out when I wasn't at the screen.

Some time was taken at 40 to get mounts and training and learn brd as a booster.

The levelling process:

Level 1-10 Quested and played around a bit
Level 10-15 Boosted Deadmines, which is horrible for patrols
Level 15-20 Boosted Stockades, the beginning of fast xp
Level 20-40 Boosted Scarlet Monestary Cathedral and Armoury, 180,000xp/hour mostly
Level 40-50 Boosted BRD, two front loops only and sometimes the ring (and cross fingers for the right spawn)

Total time: 15 hours 20 mins

If you had it planned out, could swap a mage for a pally when it was better suited and didn't spend more time drinking than fighting on a mage, you could probably get it down to 10-12 hours.

There is some extremely fast levelling to be had at the moment.

Well can we disregard boosting times and such in this thread?
I had a guy who just boosted his 4 shamans and when he finally dinged 60 he just kept on boosting in stratholme towards 62 and on since he knew of nothing else,
he couldn't play a multibox setup good enough/efficient enough to level in outlands alone and last time I saw him online he was afk with his 4 shamans while the paladin stands
in a corner in stratholme.
