Frozen Dings (70-80 Progression Dings)

[zanthor]

Sam I Am Ding 71 yesterday afternoon. I'd be curious to see where the other 70-80 5 boxers are locking in at.

My group is currently 72 and about 60% to 73. I could post the exact amount but I'm busy wiping to the login server boss.

Hit 71 last night. 14% in if I remember correctly. I've run the first instance twice and I'm doing every quest I can, even the boxer unfriendly ones. From what I've read, the quest achievements are pretty tight per zone so I'd rather do them now while leveling instead of coming back.

My plan was to dungeon/rep grind like I did for TBC but I was not aware the dungeons don't give rep till the later levels, like 78-80. This is disregarding championing obviously, but even that requires questing to get the appropriate rep to get the tabard, which only works for four factions anyways.

questing or instance grinding?

I dinged 382 last night.. oh wait that was my que rank, sorry!

Hit 71 last nite on my pally+mage+shamans, did 4-5 runs of UK and then just did questing in Howling Fjord. I was getting a much better xp/hour from instance running than questing, so I think I'll finish up some quests and then just stick to instances - gonna try out Nexus today.

Almost 71, work has been busy so ive only been about to put in about 8-10 hours of wotlk so far. Near the end of my session last night i started running numbers and I find I can get about 165k xp per hour running UK. I'll do just questing for a bit tonight and see what numbers I come up with there. 10 hours a lvl for running instances doesnt sound to bad though.

3x 73 now, but..

questing or instance grinding?

I've done probably 2/3 questing and 1/3 instance grinding to fill in holes left by skipping 95% of collections quests

Will keep this post as a record of the team's path to 80.

Team is Protection Pally + 4 elemental Shaman which dinged 70 in early October via the RAF.

13NOV08 Sitting at 80% into 70 .. loving the 300+ upgrade in spell power per shammy .. almost single shot on the level 70 mobs. Did mostly questing in the Valiance Keep area (huge lag and lots of competition for the spawns). Will start doing instances as they should be less lag and i will not have to wait for spawns.
14NOV08 Almost 71 but had to go to a dinner engagement. I tried Utgarde Keep before dinner ... DRAGONS!! .. i love killin DRAGONS :^) OMG 1184 in the queue, says a full hour. For those of us with limited time this is a real drag.
14NOV08 Transfered to Fizzcrank
15NOV08 Resetup guild and guild bank
16NOV08 Ding 71
17NOV08 Work .. did a few nexus runs

Im mostly doing quests ok thats actually all im doing and here is what I have found. It seems to me that although ya it sucks ASS to go and get 60 fucking ears I more then make up for it with my killing power So that being said sure one char can easily collect 15 ears I can kill something in two hits so its actually evens out. I will probably go and do some instances some just to get a feel of them and give that a shot. but seriously the ONLY quest that I have skipped thus far is the one in Coldera for collecting the berries. So its really not that bad IMHO. Ill keep you updated =)
