Leveling teams without RAF

[Aragent]

In old days (Befor they made it easyer to level) Vanilla Wow (1-60) was capable of leveling in just under 5 days played time with changes I belive that time is now just under 4 (This is with out RAF) so Its doable (RAD makes it easer BUT still can be done in short order but its really up to you.

I have seen people do 1-60 none Raf in under 5 days played time (I have seen RAF done in Over 5 days played time,

So as I said its really how organised and how much you want to put into leveling.

I have 2x lvl80 prot paladin and a lvl80 dk to boost a team each so I can could keep boosting nonstop without instance lockouts.

How does that prevent instance lockouts? The toons you are leveling can get locked out no matter who is boosting

I just boosted the last 2 druids (RAF leftovers) at lvl 45 in stratholme from 45->55. They have the BOA shoulders and chest, so i was getting 20% xp bonus. Without any rested xp or RAF bonus, they were getting a level about every 70-75 minutes or so, with my 80 pally doing the undead side in 2 pulls. Without the 2 boa pieces, you would probably level every 1 hour 30 minutes or so .... I would imagine this would be slightly faster in the starter instances.

I agree with 45-55 in Strat.
Then generally go 55-62 in Ramparts.
Underbog is good after that, if you want to continue in instances.

Boosting is the fastest with 3x experience, so it will be the fastest with 1x experience.
However, I generally quest in Outland, after Ramparts for a bit of gear.

I have tried to avoid collection quest but I still do some of them - as I ran out of quests in Terrok forrest at 63? and needed 10% more xp so be able to get to level 64 so I could get the quests in Nagrand. Im still in nagran atm. at lvl 65. I've done a couple of collection quests including "I must have them" which sucked.

Im not doing any instances atm. becasue my macros suck and I would have to setup a click macro system and basicially don't wanna spend the time doing it. So questing and enjoying myself blasting away the stuff is an okey way to lvl for me atm.

I leveled my first team with RAF and now I'm leveling another team without RAF.

I find it very rewarding and fun to level my second team without RAF. The good thing is that now I can do instances without vastly outlevel the instance after killing the first boss. This makes things feel good when you down some instance.
I think I missed lots of fun leveling my first team using RAF.
Also with the BGs giving XP, yo can always go PvP when you get stuck on some level. Once you reach lvl 20 leveling through BGs is a very viable option and you end gaining practically the same XP/hour doing quests or doing BGs, so it's up to you.

With my new boomkins team hiding in a bush and firing Orbital Strikes (Starfire) and Satellite Lazers (Moonfire) oneshoting everything has never been so fun in PvP.

I did 55-60 Ramparts
60-64 Underbog
64-68 Sethek Halls (very pleasant surprise, you only have to move alts once to get the full instance xp)

2 Teams being boosted

[Ruodhaid]

i just leveled my paladins and it was relly not that hard i used my main ret paladin to boost them

solo played 1-10 x 4
deadmines 10-20 boosting
sm 20-40
zf 40-45
sholomace 45-55
ramparts 55-62
av 62-80

a relly nice thing about boosting in sm and scholomance and ramparts is that you can zone in and just let your alts stay at the zonein thay will get exp no matter were in those instance you kill mobs as thay are so small

oh well in sm arms the last 10 mobs are out of exp ranged but just pull them abit back and that i fixed

64-68 Sethek Halls (very pleasant surprise, you only have to move alts once to get the full instance xp)

How deep from zone in, are the alts moved?
