Stratholme and ZF Boosting Tips Needed!

[kadaan]

Not sure how you can get a full level per run. I've been boosting my group through UD Strath for a little while and it takes 4-5 30m baron runs per level. Even if I cleared every single npc in both live/ud I don't think that would be a full level.

One tip for stratholme.. You can exploit Baron like skeletons in ST.
Just engage <removed> and /afk.

Exploits aren't welcome on these forums.

Since it's your first post on these forums, I'll let it slide.

Is the baron boosting method considered an exploit? Can anyone confirm wether it's been nerfed like ST?

If it involves evade-bugging a mob, you can consider it to be an exploit.

Whether or not it's a bannable exploit is up to Blizzard -- but if you want to be 100% sure you should ask on the Customer Service Forums -- we're not Blizzard.

Regarding the Magistrate, doesn't where you can fight him depend on which entrance you come in through? I always read that if you came in through the back entrance he's initially just in that courtyard but flees to the position at the end of the dead side. If you come in through the main entrance and come through from the live side he can be fought in the courtyard just in from the rear entrance. Lockpicking or engineering charges required to get through the shortest route from the front entrance. Also read somewhere that if you were fast enough you could ranged pull him as he flees when you come in the back door.

Both are true. If you come in the main entrance you'll find him at the back entrance and he won't flee. If you come in the back entrance you will see him and he will flee when you open the gate but instant ranged spells will allow you to grab him before he gets too far (works best if you have someone spamming thier ranged instant spell while someone else is opening the gate).

I would add that startholme is a real pain to boost if you dont have someone who can remove disease from your 70.



I did this solo on my hunter - and the disease debuffs you. Does damage
over time and reduces your ability to bandage, eat or drink.



Having said that - you have your pally running with you so you would be fine.

Jungle remedy! Cheap and efficient.
I used to farm strat with my hunter and when I sometimes forgot, I could do nothing but go back and get it.

Hi all

I was dualboxing for a while, my 2 ele shamans in BGs and arena. (the second shaman was a gift from a friend that retired)
was very nice and funny, but someday I wanted MORE!!

so, with the new possibilities I bought 3 accs, linked two of them with the other and started playing ...
first three shadow priests. (4 days ago, not even 2 days played) They are now lvl 61 and a third shaman lvl 60 with gifted levels .. and YEAH, the totem quests give almost a level xp from 59 to 60 Oo great!!!

so, here was the how I did it. Lvl 1-10 startzone quests ... preaty fast ..
lvl10-15 Deadmines (5 runs)
lvl15-20 Stockades (5 runs, yes, I'm alliance)
lvl20-35 SM Cath (guess 15 runs (20-30 mins a run i belive))
lvl35-45 ZF going through the whole ini, killing everything that comes my way (10 runs)
lvl45-55 Strath (all undeads, not only baron side)(here I began boosting with my both ele shamans, lesser XP, but more than double as fast) (guess 15 runs)
lvl55-60 first ini on hellfire penninsula, dont know the english name for it, sorry (6-8 runs, and nice drops for later) (again, boosting with my two ele shamans, easy)
after that was done (not even 2 days played, as I said) I began the quests on hellfire pen and well, you know, fast and still nice xp, so lvl 61 came fast.
Only the collect quests suckalot, so I left them behind.
I'm almost 62 now and going to rock the Marshes

btw, I began boosting 3 WLs, absolutelly same way of doing it.
works very great. (I use Keyclone, very nice thing and best 10+10$ I ever spent )

Beware that that account from your friend don't have your name on it - and thus you run the risk of being banned, just a heads up.
