but no more instances for me till 60. I love to instance but with RAF it takes sooo much longer to hit 60 in instances than questing (I'm at 32 with almost 2 days played). Even with running every one between RFC and SM GY, i still only have a couple pieces of gear on each toon that are up to date. At least with quests you can target the ones that have decent rewards. And as much as i enjoy doing 5 man stuff solo, i would rather get a ton of toons to 60 before my 3 months is up. Want to have alot of options once WotlK comes out. Will be nice to have at least 4 toons on each account (remeber bonus xp+gifting) waiting at 60+ for me to do whatever with. What's cool is by then they will be at least 60 and fully rested (and mostly likely flat broke). So goodbye SM, Uld, Mara, ST, and all the 60 instances. Most likely will not see you again for a very very long time. I figure i'll get all the instancing i could ever want trying to gear grind. hehe.

even with the ajustment before RAF, it was better to do Quests than instances. Imagine now with RAF, plus being a multiboxer.

The difference Pre-RAF was there was time to instance for all your gear and still quest. My last 5-box run to 70 i rolled 5 clothies and had time to hit Cath enough to get the hat on each one and i was only 41 when i got out. When i did RFK this time i ran it till i got my tank helm. That was 1 full run and 3 partials. By the time i was done i was 32 and all the mobs were green to me. Even just running each instance once, there's no time for questing. Not that i'm complaining!! It's great leveling so quick.

I was 60 last night with 2 days played without doing any instances at all. Many hours of my playtime was also spent messing around with and writing macros because it was my first proper multibox team. And summoning gifted characters to flight locations. I've always been a big believer in doing quests, since it's killing plus bonus exp at the end. With instances you get maybe 20% more exp per kill due to elite mobs, and probably make a lot more money from drops, but 30k exp jumps every quest turn-in are impossible to compete with, and I know getting to 70 quickly is better money these days so you can do dailies.

TheBigBB, are you rolling the moonkin to eventually tank? That seems like a cool idea to me. They have armor bonus of moonkin, plus casting. Could work out.



edit-Some of the realms are coming up btw. Not that i can play for now. I've got some work to do. >.<

I got them all to 60 now, even the Moonkin with gift levels, and at this time my team is trying to get everything set up for WOTLK, like professions and mounts. The point of the Moonkin is to give the crit aura and nature dmg buff (WOTLK talent) amongst other things which I feel would be more utility than another shaman after TOW stops stacking. I'm not 100% convinced that it will be a more viable tank than my shaman if it's stacking spell-dmg leather, but we'll see. I do have a pally at 60 in case I need it down the line.

I soloed the 1-60 and 60-70 grind many times, and all before they nerfed the exp needed to level, so don't be jealous of me! I must have done 1-60 seven times in the old days. Ouch.

Actually it goes like:
instance boosting > quest boosting > normal questing > normal instances > chatting on /trade

With or without RAF bonus, for the fastest to slowest leveling.

I would say that one of the reasons why Questing with RAF and boxing is so insane is because it completley removes the need to do collect quests at all. You dont have to do any of thoose boring quests wich is a REALY big pluss and the only reason i will manage to level another boxing team.
