Bored of questing :-(

My plan was to level a priest to 61 and spend an AV weekend grinding honor for S2 gear, so i would have a huge incentive to get to 70. I did this with my hunter and found it greatly rewarding.

So i quested my priest to 41 and found myself logging on only to complete one quest and logout out of sheer boredom.

With the next AV weekend looming ever closer and being two months too late for the "zolo" grind i find myself at a loss as to what to do...

I have a 70 prot pala on a seperate account but i dont know where to go or what to do...

Any suggestions?

Get a 2nd account, link them, profit. What's your played time on your priest now? You will probably be able to hit 60 with 2 brand new linked chars in less time that that. Then you can gift lvls to your priest and have it at 60 as well :)

I already stated that i have another account. All three of my accounts were created LONG before this "recruit a friend" crap.

Im NOT going to shell out the extra cash just so i can give myself free levels. I made this post so i could get suggestions or tips on what to do with what i have. NOT useless responses about RAF.

1. quest.
2. use one of your other accounts to PL your priest through instances.
3. recruit a friend with your priests account and PL them with your paladin. have double chars to 60 in less than half the time of option 1 or 2.

those are your options. pick one.

Wow. I'd have asked for some more information like are you following any guides to get you to 61 quicker, or using any questing mods, or if you were using your paladin to grind yourself through some instances for better gear, or if you had any characters of similar level and maybe dual boxing in the 49 bracket for honor, working on your macros and getting a feeling for if you actually wanted to play with a priest.

But with a response like that. I'd be afraid you'd bite my head off for trying to give a suggestion. Sheesh.

All my chars were leveled via questing. Ive helped myself with a few quests(such as the one that gives you the crit trinket in hellfire and the mastery quests in nagrand) and instances but nothing too extreme.

I believe that questing is the best way to experience a new class, but ive got to the point that ive wasted enough time playing my 70s when i could be leveling my priest.

Im guessing that theres on other mega easy grinds such as the zolo grind anymore?

With regards to the RAF suggestion from my priest account: i was informed by a friend that you can no longer grant a retail account levels from a trial account anymore. Only once it is converted to a retail account can it be used to grant levels. Is this correct?

I realise that you said you had a seperate account, and due to the fact that you were lvling priest solo I knew they weren't linked. So my suggestion was to get a 2nd account and link think for RAF. You didn't say in the OP that you were asking for suggestions not including RAF, so sorry for helping. Tbh, this is dual-boxing.com, most people here don't have a problem with shelling out extra money for an extra account so I didn't expect that from you.

Besides, a new account will only be $5 more for it. $20, for the first month, instead of $15. But the time savings on leveling should be worth that. You can close out the 2nd acct you have now. RAF is your "friend".

You don't sound like a solo player. That's okay. Find someone to quest with or pug your way through some instances. Priests are typically in short supply so it should be fairly easy to find SOMEONE to heal. Hell, I bet if you looked you'd probably find just one person you could run around and quest with.

There's no "option anxiety" you should be experiencing. Don't solo anymore if you're not into it. Partner up with some folks. The other option is to drop your priest completely.

Did you even point out in your original post that RAF wasn't an option? I know at least a dozen people in similar situations who have happily shelled out $30 for the battle chest, paid the $25 to transfer the toon in question just to get the RAF bonus. Just becuase you don't want to do it, doesn't make the advice given invalid.

I'll back this up. It's your option to consider real life $ vs real life hours.

I found it much more economical to use RAF, boost with a mage, transfer a toon and then gift levels. I had 2.5 days /played on my old char and he wasn't even 40 (time out for trade skills though). Now I have 4 x 60's and 60 levels to gift to 3 toons in their 40's = 7 x 60's in less than 2 days added played time. You need to do your own maths.

I'd take the saving of several days of my actual life for the cost of a couple of hundred bucks any day.

Gorthu-

I lived in KC for13 years. I live north of Columbia now in a little farming community of about 1500 people, but I still work in KC.

Well I could tell you exactly where to go and what to do - but then I'm afraid that I'd get some snide reply because it's not exactly what you want.

So, some advice - type levelling in the search box in the top right corner and read any thread that looks appropriate.

I know for a fact that there is a ton of advice on where to go and what to do, specifically for your level.

Unfortunately there are no more unintended levelling boosts like Zolo (oh wait - there is one but you need RAF for that and it should be patched soon).

Perhaps whilst reading you might reflect on your attitude to others when they try and help you.

suggestion

refer a 4th account though RAF (cost 30-40 $ for software)

10 free days + 30 days for RAF

lvl 2 new toons with Pal power lvling them to 60

should take you less than 20 hours play time. 1 or 2 weeks game time?

You do not pay for the accounts for 40 days.
lvl more toons if you so desire. gift lvls to your vet account.

at end of 39 days cancel new RAF account

cost you 40 and you have aleast 2 new 60s

:)
