Any improvements in the boosting process in the last few years?

The fastest 1-85 I ever did was 3 hours and 57 minutes /played. That was with summoners set up at each entrance and logging out every time I hit the 10 instance per hour limit. Usually it takes about 6-7 hours without all that shenanigans. Funnily enough, 1-11 takes the longest :/ I usually level by questing from 85-90 since I 15-box and I'm boosting a set of 10 toons.

1-11 By hand
11-23 SFK
23-34 SM
34-45 Scholo
45-48 BRD
48-58 LBRS
58-63 Ramps/Blood Furnace once
63-68 Sethekk Halls
68-71 Nexus
71-75 Drak'tharon
75-80 HoL
80-85 BRC

My tip in the levelling process for those with a grp non boosted is queue for Detention block as soon as it appears in the dungeon finder list.

Use the mole machine, select first option and once there aggro the mobs accross the ledge then drop down.

First Fineous Darkvire, he may come with the trash he may not.. then behind you Lord incendius. You can do this really fast and then requeue for the same instance using the dungeon finder. This will keep you going until you can unlock ramparts in bc and is very fast even if you are only in looms without ref a friend xp.

For those of you that do Stratholme, do you complete all the objectives? Do you find it worth opening the mailboxes to get the bonus?

Each objective gives a nice chunk of xp, so I've definitely done all of those each time. And that includes opening up all the mailboxes, as that will spawn Postmaster Malorne, who is also a bonus objective. It's the bonus objectives that make it such a terrific instance for levelling in my opinion.

I had the impression that finding the mailboxes was quite time consuming, so I didn't do that. I have another run coming up in the near future where I will try it.

They're always in the exact same locations, so once you're familiar in Stratholme, you can easily click them when you're running through. Good luck! :)

This. In my experience, if the mailboxes are time-consuming, you're undergeared/underlevel for the place.
