Boosting 4 RAF with a level 80

[Protlover]

i'm about to boost my 2 other accounts from 60-70 using a 85 pala to boost ilvl around 350
60-63 ramps
63-66 setthrek halls
66-68 shattered halls

68-72 utguard keep

1) Is it worth boosting past 72 time wise ?
I'm thinking dtk and VH would be pretty slow to run with all the fears, void zones, waiting for spawns in vh etc ?

I will prolly be boosting locks, mages warriors, dks. So no tremor totems.

2) Are other instances better than the ones I named ?
I'm guesing mind control may be a problem, will prolly install tidyplates addon, I'm hoping that will show cast bars of all mob instead of just /focus and current target.

WoW, Protlover, talk about a small world. Glad to see you found us here man.

Soo many good times back in the SFC days.

ok, /end hijack.

I have found boosting ramps to be disappointing as of late.

I recall getting about 1100 exp a kill, now I am lucky to get 500. The only difference is I am using a 85 to boost with. So I guess stick with a lvl 80 to boost with in outlands.

but overall it is still easy exp when you can clear the instance in 6 min.

its 1k+ per mob if rested only, really doubt they nerfed it to half, but i could be wrong.
When fully rested, it took 3 runs to use up all rested xp, that was with my booster+2 toons/slaves + 2 friends being boosted from level 59-62 roughly


I did a quick test in stockades boosting 2 randoms, result where roughly this,..

lvl 85 mage boosting: 85 xp/mob
lvl 70 mage boosting: 90xp/mob
lvl 60 mage boosting: 100xp/mob

Lvl 85 340 ivl geared specced, gemmed etc, 1 shots everything.
lvl 70 mage needed 2-3 hits on some mobs (this was spending random talents in frost and spamming arcane explosion/cone of gold.
lvl 59 mage, well lets just say badly geared is an understatement

TL;DR
you can get 20-30% extra xp if you happen to a decently geared level 60 or 70 char to boost the low level stuff with, haven't tested yet in the higher level instances.

yeah that was non rested exp in ramps.

It had been a while, so I thought it was more.

thanks for the correction.

Updated the wiki, still needs a lot of work though. Would be nice to know the xp per mob depending on level of booster, with RAF, BOA shoulders, rested etc.

If we have the numbers we could probably easily make a column and let it be calculated automatically so we know the amount of runs needed etc. I'm assuming {{#expr: 200*1.5 }} for example would work

I have never messed with wiki stuff, so I appologize if the following is noob..

DMines, WC, and SFK arent really faction specific. I would only consider the two inside each faction city to be faction specific.
SM - There isnt a key requirement anymore. That sentence needs removed / altered.
ZF - What changes?
L48-54 - LBRS There are lots of spots to get LOS, then again lots of places to get slaves stuck too.
"setthrek halls" should be 'Sethekk Halls' - Mis spelled
"shattered halls" should be 'Shattered Halls' - (? does this instance still require the key quest chain?)
"utguard keep" should be 'Utgarde Keep' - Mis spelled
After UTK, I would suggest any dungeon in Storm Peaks

No but the travel time doesn't seem to be worth it in my eyes if you are of the other faction.

SM - There isnt a key requirement anymore. That sentence needs removed / altered.

Oops, you are right, forgot that

ZF - What changes?

You used to be able to mount up, pull most of the isntance and dismount. Now you will often get dismounted and or hexed. So if you do go there, do it on a boomkin(immune to hex and has some healing, pushback etc) or just take it slow and use bubble/iceblock pvp trinket.

L48-54 - LBRS There are lots of spots to get LOS, then again lots of places to get slaves stuck too.

I think you can just leave your toons at the instance entrance now and still get xp, I did that in ramparts and stockades without a problem, before the changes, I had to move my toons around to keep in roughly a 30 yard range, it seems its either a lot further or instance wide now.

unfortunatly I have all 30 of my chars up to level 60 already so I will only be boosting some friends maybe in the future and won't be testing this :/

Experience isnt zone wide, its still proximity. there just happens to be some instances where u can park in a sweet location which gives u zone wide exp.

UBRS i can confirm u need to move your toons to the bridge to get all kill exp. if u sit at the zone in u will miss out of the big doggy kill and the room before it.

LBRS is pretty big but i think it may be possible to get full zone wide exp if u clear all the bridge mobs and then move boostees over the bridge to the other side and stick your nose in the wall. at least most of the mobs anyway.

Thansk for sharing this vae432! Even though I wouldn't have the patience to do this I think it is pretty cool to read about!
