My new set up - building for aoe

[suprafro]

Sam what was the /played time investment to go levels 1-22 with your 26man team? Probably been said before but it just seems like leveling 2 teams 1-60 and then 3 more teams 1-45 (using gift levels 45-60) would be pretty efficent and could all be done with only 5 accounts...keeps you from having to maintain 21 extra accounts until you actually have 26 level 60s to use. Then when you get them all to 60 you can xfer them off to seperate accounts (im assuming 60-80 as a 26 man farming raid is the best way to roll)

I just come back to the the fundamental "Why Do This at All" question.

Seriously...

Well, 25 I'd see the point of, but I don't understand the supernumerary.

But Sam, really...this game isn't made to allow more than 5 people to level together with any sort of efficiency. 5x22 would be easily doable in a week or two of casual play if you did them in series. I don't really follow your strategy here.

stop picking on Sam, the economy needs a boost and Sam buying 26 new copies of WoW every 3 months is going to help out. For the next 2 years. He should be level 50 by then.

This guy has way more money then he does sense. Give up on this 26 account idea, it's not going to happen for you.

To put this in perspective 22 should take about 4-5 hours without RAF, it'll take you roughly 15 years to level at this rate. After 60 you won't get RAF bonus regardless of how many copies of wow you buy. Many have suggested it already and they are 100% right in this, level one character and get an idea of the basics of the game.

We will see, I think I was about like 6 days played but lots of time standing around while one guy is doing trade skills, lots of time spent getting flight nods, lots of time spent fixing computers and tons and tons of time getting macros and UI fixed up. Im level 22ish but keep in mind I have 150 plus in all main professions. And I had zero gold when I started and no high level boosting toon. I'v had to earn as I go. I mean for my 6 days in game I spend 30-40 days worth of hours out of game doing things to help me in game ....

Also I understand the math behind the argument that its slower to level up the higher you go but given that moveing around is so much simpler at higher levels that cuts down on a lot of wasted time.

Anyway by Monday my RAF will all be back and the first thing I do is get my main ported to shatt and then raf summon all to Inn there and bind all there. That should really cut down travel time for me. And at level 30 my pal gets a mount and I cna use ghost wolf on the shammny to start moving around faster.

Ya I wasted my level grants basically, Ill be better this time.

Dont forget 26 will level slower then 5 ...

Forget crafting professions, once(if) you get to the level cap you can get someone else to craft anything you need.

Setting your port to shatt will probably make leveling slower, not faster. Set your hearth to where you are leveling and use it to save a run back to the quest hub once an hour.

Yeah, the idea that you refuse to quest is so hard to believe I forgot you did it. Grinding 26 characters should qualify you for a check from the government.

I think everybody here is trying to tell you this, yet you seem to be ignoring them. 26 will level slower than leveling 5 groups of 5 separately. Why don't you concentrate on getting one group of 5 to level 60, or maybe level 50 at least? Then go work on your second group of 5.

Also, what is 150 in all professions getting you?... Do you mean to say that you have two professions at 150 on every single one of your characters?... I'm curious, do you mow your lawn with scissors as well?

[Sam DeathWalker]

Do mages aoe grind or do they quest?

No I have 5 guys each with the 2 main professions at 150 plus.

Professions are getting me gold which I use to get spells that I need.


If you could drop 25 fire nova totems with no threat you would quest?

Every mage I have seen does quests.

Once again, why?

Because quests grant more xp.
