Is Questing or Boosting quicker with RAF accounts?

[Muddy]

Hmmm, So I should kick one of my shamans out, Boost up to 59, the use my RaF to bring the shaman back up to the lvls.

If you are boosting then sure boost your 2 guys than grant levels, but if your questing then you will not get the bonus RAF XP from having your other guy in the team. Like in the 40's you want to hit Thorium point great XP and easy quest, I went from like 44-49 in no time at that place it was great, and I was only running a trio not 5.

I saw an alliance quest guidline for good places to quest at a certain level. Is there a horde version?

Muddy,
I've got a 1-59 quest outline on my blog. It's certainly not streamlined by any means but it might give you a few idea's if you get stuck at a given level range.

I have a 70 lock to boost my team of two and it's going along at a 3-4 level pace per hour up to level 20. (I'm leveling four teams of two) Although this is quite fast compared to normal questing, I'm wondering if questing would be even faster... and a lot less boring. Anyone have any experiences to comment on this?

With RAF you get insane XP numbers for quests 10k per quest avarage, with as high as 24k for some brown quest around level 35 (wich efectevly put me through half a level. - so maybe combine bosting with questing, kill quests + escort quests are the best obviously. Per kill in SM i was geting around 450-500 i was 37x4

What I did, as 3x horde RAF linked accounts and a 70 protection paladin to boost:

Levels 1-10: Quested, was level 10 before I was finished with level 6 quests.
10-20: SFK, at level 18 got the three SFK quests and completed those, turned them in just in time to ding 20.
20-43: SM Armory and Cathedral, got and completed the SM quest at level 30 and turned it in at 43.
43-51: Zul'Farrak, turned in quests at 51 to get a bit into 52.
52: BRD pre-req quests (gathering elemental stuff near Flame Crest, killing Overmaster Pyron, the first "Kill on Sight" quest, Commander Gorshak and follow-ups that lead to assignment to kill the Emp" - This was enough to get to 55.
55 (needed 55 for the Molten Core attunement quest): A full BRD clear, completing all quests. This got me to 58.
58: The easier Stratholme quests (Archivist, Plagued Flesh, Scourge Data, Fras Siabi). This got me to nearly 60.
Remaining XP from 59-60: The 30-item turn ins for Marks of Crusade and Marks of Dawn at LHC. I had collected all of these doing BRD and Stratholme.

I had 3 characters being boosted, so nearly always had room for 1 in the group. Dinged 60 in 1 day 7 hrs played - I think I could do better doing it a second time, spent at least a couple of hours setting up my macros and keyclones, as the leveling characters just stood in xp range until Stratholme.

As a little note, one of the characters I was leveling is a warlock. She hadn't done any of her pet quests, except for the imp. I went and did a couple at level 60 and got full XP as if it were a level 60 quest. One should consider that if leveling a team of warlocks with RAF & boosting.

For reference, I've both boosted and leveled regularly with RAF to 60:

Leveling 5 at once: 0-60 in 2 days, 4 hours /played

Boosting 4 toons with a 70: 0-60 in 16 hours, 2 minutes /played
Details of my boosting:
1-15: Boosted other 4 with my 70 hunter for run speed boost (questing)
16-20: Stockades boosting with my 70 pally
20-45: SM Cath with my 70 pally (tried ZF, Temple, SM was still way faster from 40-45)
45-59.98: Strat undead side with my 70 pally
59.98 - 60.98: granted one level from 2 of my 4 boostees (after dinging them 60 seperately) to the other two

The boosted toons are still at 60 with no skills trained past level 10, no mounts, and no riding skill.

I think I messed up then. I have a 70 pally on my main account. Made a RAF account and trying it out at the moment. But I shoulda done 2 RAF accounts and not put any of the low toons on my main account. But don't want to pay 80 for upgrading 2 accounts then 45 per month to do 3 accounts but that's the only way huh? No way I can use my pally to run them thru instances like u guys. Do u just xfer the toons to your main account once they're finished then deactivate the other accounts when finished?

i am 5boxing shamans (lvl 35) getting ~460xp per elite kill in there (SM Cathedral).. killing is slow as i wait for mana/drink every 2nd or 3rd pull.

i tried boosting four of my shaman in there with my 70 fury warrior (decently geared, tears thru the place) and the linked accounts with that guy still get ~460xp per kill, but two of the others don't get it and they get about ~120xp per kill.

i can go thru Sm cathedral in 10 minutes compared to 45 minutes... the XP gain is crazy with boosting, but two guys are falling behind (1 lvl only atm)

Personally i'm deciding what i ultimately want to do, use RAF/boosting to gift levels so i have all classes at lvl 60 on my main account, or just keep the 5 boxing shaman thing going. i haven't decided yet. should i boost with two guys falling behind and then wory about them once my other two get to 60? decisions, decisions...

I think most of the people using RAF to boost have the intention of playing multiple accounts at the same time. I know I do - so no, I do not intend to transfer my toons back to a single account once they're level 70.

A protection paladin just happens to be the character that I made and played by herself for a long while. When RAF was released, and with the knowledge that I could pull 'the whole instance' it just seemed like a fun experiment to see if I could multibox effectively. So far so good!
