I believe there was another post as well, I can dig it up if you'd like it.

Yes pls

Searched this morning and can't find it

I'll keep looking but just letting you know.

gosh I must suck because I have 2 days played on my 3 locks 1 priest 1 pally team and they are only l38/39 - admittedly I spent way too much time wiping in deadmines to learn the ropes and running around to get the lock pets and robe quests and leveling a bit of eng/ench... but still... when I see l60 in 2 days... without boosting I feel bad

Maybe I should do 4x team of 1 class which are simpler and also would only divide the kill xp by 4 instead of 5 ? (and do 2 teams or use gift levels to get the 5th) - I guess I'll try that

On the other hand I'm now having a blast doing SM and worried I'm levelling too fast to be able to do each instance once (already skipped a few as I only did Vc + stock + SM (gy+lib so far; will do the rest today) - I hope to not exit too high that I can't do ulda....

You don't suck at all, you just level differently. The guys who reached 60 in 2 days need to confirm ofc, but I think they leveled purely through questing (just doing kill quests and some fedex quests), skipping instances and professions entirely. If you do instances at their right level and level professions it will take much longer to reach 60, but why stop doing that stuff if you enjoy it? Remember that you're not exactly in a hurry - it's more than 2 months before your RAF bonuses end and Wrath is at least 3 months from release.

You may not want to level your RAF 60 group to 70 until Wrath anyways, as they've speeded up Outland leveling by then

A final update as I expect this method to be nerfed soon. I hit 60th tonight:

50->55 : 4H 10M, boosting in Stratholme, /played total 15H 30M.
55->60 : 3H 9M, /played is 18H 39M total. I did quests, including cloth quests in the capital cities and the Argent Dawn repeatable quests, along with the Shaman totem line.

I could have done this last bit faster, I honestly didn't have the drive to push hard through Strat anymore after the RAF boost "change" was announced. And I strolled around doing the totem quests on a slow mount -- should have at least brought a Paladin along for Crusader, and optimized the route a bit. I'm believe I could get the time down to <16 or possibly even under 15 hours. Anyhow, it was a lot of fun watching the levels fly by, but, now I need to get some BoE gear and hit Outlands where the real grind starts... something like 10X slower leveling is going to be a bummer

If I did this again (assuming boosting still works) then I would boost to 40 and then do quests after that, I think it would be quicker. Otherwise, questing is obviously going to be the best way to level going forward with RAF once the boosting triple XP bug is fixed.

Little tip. At 54 (possibly 53) go to Western plaguelands and do the Cauldron quest chain. (It starts after you burn the scarlet camp).

I got something like 17,000 xp per cauldron, then it was something like 8k,12,16,20k (not 100 percent sure but it is something like this) for handing the filled flasks in. The final step in the chain (a quest becomes available across the road from where you hand in) gives you a medallion a choice of swords (3 gold vendor price) and 40k xp.

Not sure if this is a horde only quest chain or not.

Thanks ! I had fun today finishing SM - got some gear; returned the 2 ally quests for 17 and 19.65k xp each ! and dinged 40 on all

Okay, I'm going to admit straight up, I'm very new to this. Very Very new to this. I've never even ran two instances of WoW at the same time before. For leveling, I use Joana's guide. If I was to go out, buy another copy of the game and start boosting my characters through questing, how would I compensate for the triple xp while following the guide at the same time. Has anyone devised an updated list of quests to do? It's a little confusing.

Skip the quests you don't like.

Personally, I skip anything that requires me to collect anything. Collecting items multiple times for multiple characters is just lame.

If you use RAF and are using a leveling guide that was written assuming you didn't have 300% experience bonus, then logically you can skip 2/3 of the guide and still be on-track.
