What bothers me is not your grammar, but the l33t speak thing.
Seems like a good guide, but I can't really tell because my head hurts when I try to read it.
Good work anyway

DING 53!x2
My shamans just leveled 50-53 today in scholo and the exp is insane O_o
I did 1-40 on 4 shammies in 28 hours. My goal was to do it in 30, but I came up ahead of schedule. I'll most likely start "normal" questing at this point since mage boosting doesn't do well past SM IMO and I'm tired of seeing SM. :)
Quested to 8.
RFC to 13 with my 70 mage.
SFK to 18.
RFK to 20
SM Armory to 33.
SM Cath to 40.
/whisper Morganti, you are not going to make it in time! ;)Quote:

Regarding looting, I think you have to compare the 5s per corpse on these runs with the money you can make with your 70 in the same time.
Effectively its not silver going to waste, but you spending time to pick up silver when you could do daily quests.
I tried ZF, but had a problem keeping up with the stacking healing totems that these guys put down. I will go and give it a wirl with a warlock to see if I can overpower multiple groups with Seed of Corruption.
Looting depends if you plan to do any skill ups, such as Enchanting and Tailoring.Quote:

With Boosting, you have 12.5 minutes for each reset of the instance (that's 5 per hour). With my 70 Prot Paladin, I 2 pull SM Cath within 8 minutes; and do Sm Armory in 2 pulls, in 5 minutes. That's without looting.
With looting, I do 3 pulls on SM, and do it within 12 minutes. 1 minute to run out and reset, and I get 5 clears per hour + loot.
i have been do this on a pally and there is so much lock out .. but its weird the alt gets locked out before the main.Quote:

howdy fellow multiboxers,
I just wanted to add my 5p, ve'been boosting my 4 toons with a lvl 70 warrior, pretty well dressed, and after one day it seems to me that it's alot cheaper and about same speed if you do it in prot build. Rather then when you do it as a fury, this is due to the fact that most of our (warriors) aoe is not really an aoe. and WW is not as effective as Cleave because you cant really spam it. As I've mentioned above when you boost with warrior on a low lvl, if you dual weld it becomes really expensive, because of the way blizzard set up item durability - it doesn't matter how hard you are being hit what matters is how often it happens. So after an hour or two you end up paying 25-30g, repair costs if you are decked out in epics, as i am. But when you are prot specked you repair your shield for 15g and carry on. Plus you care less about disarm.
as a reference here is my booster http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...moon&n=Delnoch
p.s. It seems to me that THE ultimate lvl booster would be a prot pally.
I don't have a problem using my MS warrior with whirlwind and cleave, though I typically do Cathedral in 5-6 pulls. The repair costs aren't much different from raiding for a night.
I didn't bother with looting for a bit but then decided to start when I realized I needed 75 stacks of wool to do the cloth turn-ins for each character.
well, :huh: i wasn't trying to say that it's not possible to boost with MS or DW/Fury, what i did say - it feels to me that prot, in fact is a cheaper and more efficient way to go, for boosting. Repair cost are definitely reduced - hence you don't have to think about budget, just keep on going. Speed of boosting is comparable if not faster - with rage generation from block while at the same time reduced damage allows you to do bigger pulls and keep cleave + revenge (2 rage cost) spam. If you still have some rage left after that you can always toss in some devastate at 9 rage cost.
p.s. But at the lvl difference that we talk about, lvl 70 vs 20-50, all of the above is more like fod question- just as long as you know your limits. You do SM cath in 5 pulls i do in 2 - but does it matter? :whistling:
A level 70 can do well up to level 40 / SM instance grind.Quote:

But after that, it becomes less efficient since the amount of xp to grind also goes up.
So at level 40, boost questing is better than AoE instance grind, except if you have a 7o prot Paladin that can rack up lowbies with 50k+/hr
But still, that gravy train slows down by level 55, and that gap to 55 to 58 is slow going doing quests in the old world, but slower using AoE boosting.
However, I can still think of AoE boosting with 2 Prot Paladins, or 1 Prot Paladin + Mage (or Warlock Seed of Corruption)
The problem with a prot warrior is how long it takes to kill the mobs. With my main I can grind the crap out of a bunch of stuff but it takes a long time to kill everything. Mind you I haven't tried this in conjunction with multiboxing or the lower level dungeons yet it is just my opinion. I also feel that a well geared prot warrior can do anything that a prot pally can (at least with the trinket from shattered halls you can ;-) ). Has anyone had any experience using a prot warrior to level their lowbies?
After gettin my alt pali to 55 i took him to blades edge with my 70 mage. Good place to AOE farm for exp for the alt + you make good money from silver and netherweave and aldor rep items and greens
got my mages to 16 today.
SFK = shit. Stupid agro on entrance, random patrols/spawns, magic immune mobs, and low density of mobs. Don't waste your time here if youre mage or lock.
Omw to deadmines :)
I'm level 47... and have no dedicated instance runner.
What should i be doing? questing? aoe grinding regular mobs? whispering hundreds of people till i find a mage/prot pally/fury warrior/enhance shaman who can run me through brd?
I'm at a stand still because no one likes running brd, especially for people they don't know.
I tried joining 4 different guilds (1 on each alt and 1 on my main) and still no one helps.
I'd quest in your situation. I have access to a 70 mage and I'll still be questing 40+.Quote:

I found sfk to be quite good. 70 mage boost the then 18-23 mage. But I tend to aoe groups of 4 or 5 at a time aoe, loot and move on. That slows each run to about 20 min, but I'm not interested in speed. AFter 3 clears, warp out sell, repair (4 20 slot bags on mage), the lowbie kept some trash and useful equip/mats. And I think it's hard to beat the sfk courtyard for number of mobs and ease of aoe meltdown. Do the whole courtyard which is what 30 mobs? I can't do the same technique in SM too many hits on an arc/fire mage. I wasn't skinning, too much time/space, and some bad lag, initially. My lowbie mage is an ench, so every green is a blessing for mats. And it might take me 6 months to get to 70, not likely, but I'll get there. There's no time crisis in my eyes. Now, BFD I found was not as good for mob density, not to mention the near 3 min corpse run. New setup of shammies, hopefully i can beat any potential wipe, then resQuote:

Im glad to se this tread get atension :) for it its the best way to lvl XD

i got a 70 prot pally.. im trying to boost ZF right now and i cant get passed the healing totems, ive tried to have the lower levels take em but its just too much. do you guys have suggestions for lvl 42 boosting to 45?
Just wanted to add (installed an exp mod (XPRatePlus)) that AOE boosting with a mage and 1 alt in Death's Door in Blade's Edge will net your alt lev 60+ about 100k exp an hour
Skuggo the spec I use on my mage when im power leveling is: 27 Fire 34 Frost. You should give it a try having blazing speed absolutely owns lol.
Hey
I have been planning on trying this method as soon as my initial 3 chars make it to 70. I have a couple questions about the 40+ levels though. I've read that ZF is best from ~40-50.
For 50+ ive heard doing something like LBRS with a 70 Warrior is best. This is confusing because I cant see how a warrior could kill things quickly enough at all. Cleave hits two targets, WW hits only 4 still. How are you pulling so much and what is the purpose when you can only hit 4?
- How do you manage to do ZF with a mage with all the ranged/casters there? Do you use blizzard or just AE/CoC/Blast Wave?
Right now I am leveling three characters on a new server: Hunter, Druid, and Mage. They are 40 right now. After they hit 70 I will be boosting 3 Shaman. Basically, i'm trying to figure out what classes are capable of doing this 45+ and what the best way to go about this is.
- Would a hunter work for 50+ in LBRS or eventually Ramparts?
- Also, do you think a hunter would work in ZF from ~43-50? Quick kills instead of AoE.
- Is there anything besides a Warrior that works for instance grinding 45+?
depending on booster and class being bosted, I like SFK 12-23 you can almost pull the whole instance by having a 12 stand next to wall and argo all to the court yard. real fun
fender967 : I see your point. I'm around 35 atm with my toons and i'm power lvling them with my feral atm.. It works fine. High armor, 15k HP and healing on crit each 6 sec.. And ofc.. Swip in bear from is quite effective as an aoe. Hits 3 mobs for 600 each, each 1 sec.. and you have a white hit on 700-1500 each 2,5 sec.. But its preaty much the fast swiping that down the mobs..
I would think that atleast in LBRS which is quite big and long distances you would really want to pull alot and kill them close to your alt, but a warrior would do a weak job on keeping agro and aoe up on them for sure.. So i would say that a feral or a hunter as you say would must likely do a much faster job.
Read this post last week and started boosting my 4x shammies and 1x pally with my 70 holy pally. I got from level 22 to 37 in 3 days (not playing time...didn't keep track of it unfortunately - prob around 6-7 hours maybe?).
The pally worked out great and with seal of wisdom, one mana stream totem, and heals from the shammie, I'd complete a 15-20 mob pull and have 100% health and atleast 75% mana remaining. While I may not be able to kill as quickly as a mage, I really limited any downtime. Also wearing plate helps!
Down side is that it is pretty boring. I think it was the 15th or so run of armory where I almost cleared the instance, but somehow fell asleep in between pulls. I woke up and found that a repop had killed my whole team!
So now the shammies are 37 and the prot pally is 34. The pally is a little behind because I concentrated on the shammies originally with the 70 pally. Then I bit the bullet and got a 6th account. Now I rotate the pally in the shammie team and is working quite nicely.
I'm going to try ZF at 35 as I'm sooo done with SM!
edit: Last 10 or so runs i stopped looting as it was taking me forever to loot and to deal with the loot (vendor, mail to bank alt, etc).
For those having problems in ZF with totems, make a macro for one of your casters. /target Healing or Magma totem, /shoot wand, etc. Then hotkey it somewhere handy. Worked pretty well for me.
The personal path that I have been following:
Leveled to 20 in BE starting area (great XP, honestly just as quick to plow your way thru than repeated RFC runs)
20-25 SFK
25-30 RFK
30-38 SM CATH/ARM
38-40 ULDA
40-45 ZF
I am using a Level 70 Frost Mage in blue and green gear. Nothing fancy at all. The only place I have had a problem was the Earthen and Golems in ULDA. The Earthen are immune to Frost Nova and the Golems have the ablity to completely lock down a caster even a level 70. I actually almost wiped one time due to this fact.
I have heard people say that ZF can be tricky for a mage but I didn't have any problems with the runs I have done in ZF. I had two Epic world drops in a single run that netted me 150 gold so I personally liked those ZF runs. That plus AOE = MAD XP in the Scarab area, zombie area and the stairs.
Right now I am running thru quest and intend on hitting Sunken Temple at 50. I am a bit concerned that ST onward might be a bit much for my Mage though.
Jubb, bought my first epic flying mount yesterday, only 3 to go XD (13'000g atm)
/target 5200g
/wave
/cry
...o jea this is how i role ;)
Agreed. Did the same thing on my pally the last couple of days. Too bad you can only do 5 runs before you have to wait an hour :( Still worth it imo.Quote:

should i continue to elvel my mages? they are 59 atm... like for gold farming? is it easier than with a 4-5 shaman team?
Any specific reason "1/4 epic flyer" is in the title?
Jea it means i have one of four epic flying mounts :)Quote:

Re: SFK
The minimum level to enter is now level 10
You will aggro the mobs to the right of the entrance if u enter at 15 or below - send yr main in first to clear the first 4 mobs.
There are some magic immune mobs in the instance so be careful (I have been boosting with my Bear so no probs there)
The fastest way to clear that i have found is to leave yr alts next to the 'cage' wall in front of the entrance and pull yr mobs back into range for exp gain.
Pull 1) Everything down to the jail - release the prisoner and get the courtyard open
Pull 2) Clear the courtyard (very easy)
Pull 3) Run through the kitchen area where the Butcher / Baron bosses are , up the stairs turn right and go back to the courtyard down the ramp - kill in the courtyard.
Pull 4) Back through the kitchen, up the stairs turn left pull everything out onto the Battlements and kill (the battlements are right above the point where u left yr alts)
Pull 5) Run through everything up to Fenrus (the wolf boss) , run back to the second battlements area and kill.
I stop at this point as the number of remaining mobs and the distance to run to pull them makes it not worthwhile
Your alts never need to leave the starting area
Takes me 12-13 mins so I am right on the time limit.
