Questions for people from WotLK Beta about Death Knight starting area and multiboxing

[Saqor]

why would you want to summon the DK out in ther first place? the quests are stupid easy, not mention enjoyable cause of the new things theyve added in. plus youll be at a disadvantage if you take him out and start runnin around elsewhere cause you wont have any talent points.

You'd want to do it to grant him 5 RAF levels, and hearth back in, completing the DK sequence (even) easier, and perhaps ending at level 61-62, instead of 58. But of course this all comes down to whether it's possible (I imagine no, but am keeping 2 x 5 RAF levels spare just in case myself - can always use the levels later).

The DK starting area is open now, you can ride through Tyr's hand into the area. But, because of the new phased technology your DK will see it differently then another character would. I did not try to ride into the area as a non DK or out as a DK so I am not really sure how it would work. I know in the quest chain, when you go out you are at LHC, but that is phased as well. I think it is normal after it ends, with no zoning needed. I also know that in the phasing you see can other players on different phases, sometime even NPC spell affects (though that might have been a bug). Just try when it comes out and see if it works you get a little jump. If not, no big deal.

Well, right in the RAF section on Blizzard's site, it says you can use your RAF levels to boost a Death Knight.

I'm not sure if it would be as simple as inviting them to your group, and then boosting via r-clicking on their portrait, or if you'd have to physically be near the toon.

Will death knights be able to take advantage of the bonus levels?


Yes,death knights will be able to receive bonus levels, too. But keep in mind that death knights start at level 55 and players stop receiving bonus experience at level 60.

Also, I'm not sure if you could boost a DK from 55 to 60, or if you'd have to wait until the DK is 57 or 58 and receives only 2 or 3 levels of boosting.
