Why Scholomance?

The reason is they keep summoning mobs as you kill them and it keeps a constant 50+ mobs on you. I have milked the process for about 15 minutes once pulling in about 1.5 levels in that time. Normally I'll just spend about 5-6 mins in there and take about 80% of a level rinse and repeat. On the last run I clear much further in getting about 2 levels for that run and working off the rest of my hour lockout.

Summoned enemies haven't given XP since 3.3 I believe.

I found LBRS to be the best xp/hour from 45 to 55--Much better than Scholo and Strath. You can zone in and clear the first room and then bring your toons down a bit to the first ledge and they'll get XP for the whole instance. Just jump down and clear from the Orc area through the Trolls back up to your toons.

To be clear what is the 'first ledge'? Is this the 'drop down' in front of the archway to the ogre area?

Yeah, basically. When you come out and can see the whole building where the trolls are and the dropdown to get to the orcs is to your right. I put them on the forward edge and they get xp the whole way.

if you have a 80er pala.. go scholo.. 15 min full clear... mega xp

Thanks everyone for these great posts and ideas. I spent about 90 minutes in scholo and got my toons from 50-60.

The cool thing about this is that with all these instances if it takes you about 5 minutes to run back through an area you've already cleared, the only mobs left to loot will have blue items on them. Might be a bit longer then 5 minutes, but every time I ran back through the instance to the start the first room I pulled to would have one or two corpses to loot. (3 copies of enchange weapon lifestealing).

I just set loot to master looter threshold rare with pass on loot for the booster so i only see sparkles on corpses with blue or better loot. Just remember to set it to free for all when you kill rattlegore for the key.

Are you thinking of the skeletons then summoners summons? They yild xp to my toons 75 xp a piece at lvl 46 no RAF.

I boosted 4 times i scholo to try it out with my druid tank. I prefer this instance instead of stratholme... Stratholme is a major hassle compared to scholo in my oppinion.

I did the whole instance once to get the achievement and "learn" the place as I have never run the instance properly at lvl, it took me like 40-50 min only looting the bosses.

Now I do it like this:

Kill the 4 mobs at the beginning (toons parked at the entrance. Clear the next room in one pull + mobbing up the stray mobs.

Then I run to the whelps, and pull everything up until the entrance from the first room. I then go back and kill the summoners.

Then I head into the Crypts and pull all the skeletons and the boss. Kill the boss quickly or she will summon adds which are annoying.
Then I kill rattlegore for the key.

Then I kill all the "neutral" mobs including the two mini bosses on the small ledge.

Then I think I move on to the room where you have to kill 4-6 bosses before the final boss spawns. I usually take 2-4 rooms at a time pulling using the boss. I have expirenced that one of the bosses reset and I had to go back and kill her again.
Then I kill the final boss and run out of the instance.

This run yild around 1 lvl with no RAF, no rested xp but with heirloom shoulders and chest on. Mostly I only loot the bosses.

As a bear tank I can pull alot of mobs, but I have found that the most effective way to pull all the mobs is to run backwards and swipe... it takes a bit longer not using charge to gain speed on the horde of mobs chasing you, but I take way less damage from the occationel hits, and I deal damage while mobbing up the freaks I need to kill. I takes alot of swipes to kill all the mobs which is why I keep pounding them while I pull them to a designated spot.


I will try only pulling the rooms suggested earlier in this topic and see if its a better way to boost in the instance.

My response was towards the BRS boosting but when I ran Scholo the summoned skeletons did not give me experience or else I would have just sat there and let them pile up.

the LBRS summoned mobs in the room immediately to the left of the starting room gave me plenty of XP a couple months back when I leveled up my Ret team. Unless it is a VERY new fix, they should still give XP.
