Gathering BOA gear for a new 5 man team?

You will steamroll everything in vanilla regardless of gear. Remember this is when +10 to an item was considered hot shit. When you get to BC, it takes 90min to clear all the quests in Hellfire Pen and you will be completely geared for when you hit Northrend and the same thing will happen in the first zone there. Once you hit 68, all the Cat gear does the same thing and you will be on current content.

There is no reason to farm any gear until you hit 85.

+1, especially on the Hellfire pen part. If you're really lacking gear then possibly buy some gear from the AH or check wowhead. Sort items from your level obtainable by quest, then it might be worth it to do the specific questline that has a nice reward.

I have moved characters from one server to another and the boa's can go with them. I also have noticed that running bg's in volume accumulate honor points (turned in for heirlooms) or converted into JP's for heirlooms as well. You can also join a nomad guild (like hermits) that allow all to join wiht limited requirements and are usually upper level guilds (20+) and will get you reputation pretty fast as a full group for dungeons and bg's. My 2 cents. Good luck.

Good point indeed. After last night I realized how stupid it would be to farm BOAs. Yesterday on this team I went from 18-32 in a matter of hours just questing and then I boosted my hunter team from 20-30 in SM cath in about 2 hours. Once I get to HFP with any team gear is irrelevant when it comes to the quests so I'm going to continue questing on the pally/warrs team but the rest I'm just going to boost.
