1-60 no RaF Rundown!

So my paladins just hit 60 and i figured i would share what and how many instance runs it took. Its not total exact but pretty close.

1-20 Quested in Blood Elf starting area and finished all quests in ghostlands. 146 total quests completed. This includes Wailing caverns, SM boss, ZF quests and UBRS quest for the key.
22-40 Scarlet monastary- 1 run through library for key-10-15 runs through armory for shoulders and helms and 62 total runs through Cathedral.
40-45 Zul`Farrak 6 runs total including the 4-5 quests.
45-55 Upper Blackrock Spire 13 runs total
55-60 Hellfire Ramparts 16 runs total

Overall it wasnt as bad as i thought. I tried to do very little questing past 20 so i could get exact instance numbers.May not be exact but its close. Anyway enjoy this is what your in for no RaF!

Impressive. I remember my first 5 man group back in the days before RAF. I cant count how many times I ran SFK to get 5x of all the drops from the last guy for my 4x mages.

Even with RAF I hate the sm grind. I cant imagine doing it 60+ times w/o rage quitting.

thx for the info - what did you boost with? how many pally's were u running up? what was your /played to get to 60?

^^^^ What he said because I might/probably going to do it with rogues.

Honestly I love SM.. I wish there was more SM to get to 60 that easy ^^

From 20-40 i used a holy paladin i could pull all of SM at same time just pull everything up to door then bubble and open it get everything inside pull to entrance. From 40-60 i used my Blood Tank Spec DK. I did 4 paladins and /played at 60 is 3 days 16 hours. not too bad imo

Did you have on both heirlooms?

I can't imagine doing the SM grind without RAF again. Did it on my first multibox group ever, with a warlock (I didn't have a paladin) just dotting everything up. Even now I can't stand it with RAF - and it's one pull with my paladin.

SFK and Strat I don't really mind... SFK is fast and easy, Strat is like the home stretch and only 10 levels.

i got the shoulders only but i didn't get them till 45. I cant stand strat which is why i tried UBRS turns out its like 80% of a level or so every run so worked out nice. Would have went so much faster if i didnt get locked out of SM for 30 minutes at a time =-(

Alright pallies hit 65 and i did the Ring of blood for axes. would it be faster to boost in one of the terokkar instances or keep questing? Currently working on nagrand

Boosting in UB up to the first boss works well. Mana tombs isn't too bad either.

Just quested it out had to get away from boosting 65-68 in nagrand then a little of netherstorm made it go quick. Off to northrend

I don't agree with the plan here to do the same instances so often. I think it'd simply be more fun to run every instance you possibly can instead of the same one multiple times. If you took some time to pick up the quests that went along with them, you'd get more experience, too.

Ding 70 with just about exactly 5 days /played now the real fun begins ugh.....

Your level 65 to 70 could probebly go faster if you had done uk for those 5 levels. Great experience and no questing needed.

Yea but i made over 1200g on each char so it payed for my cold weather flying for northrend at 70 good trade i suppose
