Levelling Question

[Simulacra]

thanks for all your replies, I ran SFK twice last night and got around 13000xp plus some nice drops for my alts although they not high enough to use them lol.

simpletom you said:
"level 32 characters are getting about 82-100xp a kill which is more than the level 26 characters"

any idea why that is? Is it due to more xp required at a higher level so it scales?

If I am not mistaken WoW splits the xp based on your level so if you have a lvl 18 and a level 22 in a group and you gain 40xp then 22xp goes to the lvl 22 and 18xp goes to the lvl 18.

Thanks, this explains why I (Astrid) am accelerating away from my boxees in xp. I was a little ahead of them due to a pally quest and a little grinding and am now 2 levels ahead...should I go level the others up so that they're at the same level? I'm now experiencing a problem in ghostlands where my boxees aren't at a high enough level to share my quests...I decided last night to mix it up a bit with some quests/grinding instances 50/50.

Will probably be best to try and keep them synced somewhat. I started yesterday and just played around a bit and had a few kills on the primary before I got them grouped. They are only lvl 4 and already there is quite a few kills inbetween both gaining levels.

I think the drag the lowbies through technique is viable until about 40 - 45 with a 70 main.

After that though you will probably want to ungroup the 70 lest they suck too much xp.

i started doing deadmines at Lv 10 4 shaman and one shaman 70.
I had a level up about every 20-30min on my alts so I went up from 10 to 22 doing DM/Stockades in a day of playing.

Stockades is great because the mobs are all close together and all elites, but the instance is too short I have to wait a little bit sometimes, during that time I try to level up my alt's enchanting so I can DE stuff at higher level. And no I dont loot any corpse, waste of time.

in my situation I cant imagine grinding quests being any faster than this.
My 4 shamans are up to 25 now.

I'm currently doing the same.

It's a nice EXP Boost (not that much on a single mob because of the lvl 70 char in the group but you kill tons of mobs within one hour so it's ok and the loot is excellent.) I'm currently rushing deadmines, shadowfang and stockades.

btw. you get tons of cloth and green items which is excellent for training your professions.

Just finished Deadmins the other night, moved to Stockades at 15 which is a big XP boost, but we hit the reset limit rapidly (6-9mins to clear on my lock). At 20 we'll move to Scarlet Monastery Cathedral & Armory until 35-45'ish depending on how ZF goes at 35...

ZF isnt the best for boosting. All of the mobs are really spread out, so it makes it hard to grind through at a fast rate. I stayed at SM Cath until I dinged 41, and after that the mobs turn green. I'd go to ZF after that.

It's post-ZF that I'm having difficulty planning... BRD, Scholo, Strat, BRS are all open at 45 iirc, but none of them are easy/fast to solo for viable ammounts of XP...
