My question is it viable to bring in toons less then level 80 per say. I have lots ;eve; 70-80 and was wondering if you could bring them to that spot and still tag or no. Or are there other spots to level toons that low fast.

You would need one level 90 to tag and be grouped with the lowbies, he will take a big chunk of the exp but I think its still going to be 1000 - 1500 kills per level no matter what. It is more efficient to have one level 90 and 4 lowbies in that case. Then if you have other accounts or friends level 90 they again will be out of group and help kill the mobs faster. Dooker dome might be a good spot for this as the guys holding the chains might not attack the lowbies, not sure though, at any rate it will be way more easy to keep them alive at the dome then where I was. I was taking guys from level one in deep holm so it can be done but you have to find a spot to sit your lowbies wehre none will attack them (maybe in the center of the dome?) and they still get exp. They will get way less exp in non panderia zones.
Hmm good idea get a flying mount for two and bring them out there and sit them above them where they can still reach the mob to tag it but not agro. Hmmm might try this at a later time.
You cant tag from a mount but if you get exp while on a mount then that's a brilliant idea of a way to take a lowbie and make it so he cannot be attacked by a mob, Im going to see if that works with a level one. I can hit people on mounts with mage bomb and some priest spells, wonder if mobs can do that, don't recall seeing one do that. The hardest part of leveling a level one on up with this is keeping the level one alive, this might solve that. But you need a level 90 that can fly in pandera with a 2 seater (not in group) then a tagger grouped with the lowbie, the some out of group helpers, ya need a lot of accounts but I can see going from level 1 to level 90 in one spot if that works.
Yea i was thinking taking a couple 90s up with two seater flyers. Having the lowbies stay in the mount with those 90s. This way the mount doesnt go bye bye. Then have a 90 on the ground level with a tagger from the lowbie group. Although at the dome can you stand on the cage. If so might make it easy to keep lowbies up there tag then quickly kill with he 90 hmm.
How do you get a toon under level 85 into Pandaria? Are you talking lock/mage ports?
Just use the summoning stone at the brewery in the ValleyQuote:

I don't think you can use a summoning stone if the character is outside of the dungeon's level range. Warlocks may be able to summon a low level player into MOP zones. No idea regarding mage ports.
What I am curious of-- how much discovery experience does a level 1 get if he is introduced to a high-level zone? Is it scaled to his level, or would a level 1 instantly ding level 3 or 4?
I think it's percentage based, but not positive. Like .25% or something.
what about 2 man flyers thought they worked.
The exploration experience is scaled, so no you're not going to ding from 1 to 4. The 2 man flyer works perfectly well, but if you can't get in the instance then it's useless.
Btw, I just tried this last night: having a level 90 mage plus level 6 warlock in Pandaria.
Grouped together, the mob gave puny experience, something like 6xp per mob, which is even less than what the warlock would get killing level 6 mob on his own.
Not grouped, (warlock tags, mage kills), the warlock doesn't get any xp. I think it's largely based on the damage that the warlock inflicts on the mob, which, at level 6, against level 88 mob, that's like almost zero.
If you don't have RAF, the easiest way is for the lowbie to tag mobs 4 - 5 levels above him, and have the high level toon, NOT GROUPED, finish them off. In this case, I have the mage on follow, and once in a while I cast arcane explosion. The health recovery rate at level 6 is incredibly fast that I would go from almost dead to full health in a couple seconds.
Once the warlock hits level 10, I started doing deadmines, which, unrested, gives me about half a level per run, and that run takes about 2-3 minutes. Have mage in the front and warlock following. Just spam AE all the way and ice lancing the birds who fly too high. Don't even stop for loot. The painful thing about deadmines is that the entrance is kinda hard to get into and you can't mount to it. Now that my warlock is level 11, I'm going to take him to SFK and start boosting there.
So in short, the AOE grinding boosting method only works if the lowbie is not TOO low level.
I thought they removed the level restrictions on summoning stones a while back?
Yep. The only restriction is that you must be level 15 or higher.Quote:

Ok well i tried the dooker dome and got ganked about 6 times.
Then i went to icecrown which was amazing on the respawns (Where all the contenders were)...lots of frostweave, about 15 stacks in an hour + 50g per toon and 300 for the main in selling crap.
XP was still horible...almost exactly half of what you get running a dungeon per mob 148 in dungeon and 67 on mobs.
Went into org instance and leveled way faster...this is with a 90 in group fyi.
Instance grinding is still the way to go....i think the quests are what are the massive boost tbh
If the mobs are too high it takes to long. My pally on the other hand leveled fast (84) at the dooker dome...whole level in almost an hour.
This game....it rots my mind. 5.4 is coming out soon...so you can get full tyr from doing dungeons...might be something to think about.
The mob must NOT be gray to the tagger! Group the level 90 tagger with the lowbie and kill a mob that is not gray to the tagger and the lowbie will get enough exp so its like 1000 to 1500 kills per level. That's why tag boosting requires out of group helpers to kill mobs faster because you cannot kill super low mobs and get decent exp on the lowbie, as you have found out.
There is a MINIMUM level restriction on the summoning stone, which makes sense. If your lowbie is too low level it wouldn't be able to enter the instance anyway. There used to be a MAXIMUM level restriction but that got removed, but it's pointless because your main is usually a lot more mobile to begin with. Right now the way to get everyone to instance entrance is using 2 seater flying mount with main + 1 lowbie, then use summoning stone to summon the other lowbies.Quote:

Got 5 instance completed within 45 mins, then ran into instance requirement. I think 2.5 levels for 45 mins is not a bad deal. At level 70, Azjol Nerub opened, which I haven't decided if it'd be faster than UK or not, especially since old kingdom is there as the next step.
if there is a high level on the account with the RaF toon being boosted you can fly him to the dungeon and use the summon friend feature.
just curious if I want to level my 4 blood dks (85-90) is it fast to nonestop run random dungeon with a 5th dps? a friend wants to level his ret pally with me and I'm not sure if thats the best method
What if you have two RaF chains like this:Quote:

Assuming your characters are level 15 or above, just use the summoning stone outside of the instance.Quote:

This is what im doing shortly. I already have 5 accounts but they are not all filled. So im taking my Main account as my booster say Alpha haha. Then One of my alts say Bravo. Now my wifes joining me so im going to raf her account Charlie. Then im going to add two more accounts Delta and Echo. So it looks like this... A---B - C
.................................................. .................................................. .....................| \
.................................................. .................................................. .....................| D
.................................................. .................................................. ......................\
.................................................. .................................................. ........................E
This way the high level can group and boost them. This allows Bravo Charlie and Delta to get Raf granted levels. Then ill shift toons over to my original 4 yea a little money but faster. Then once all accounts are full ill either make more toons on the new 3 accounts or cancel them. Not sure what to do with 8 accounts on my bnet and one on my wifes unless she boxes two healers and we ten man just the two of us.
I found the best way to level is drunk. I am working on that right now. +200% drunken xp bonus. Try it.
I can't play drunk. I think I'm incapable of paying attention to my computer for more than five minutes when I drink.
just tried out dooker dome with 4 dks, ~4,57M xp per hour@lvl 88 (28,6k ep/chief) without battle standard, ~25% faster than dungeon farming :)
