Tag Boosting

You mean like that. What you really need to figure is damage per mana, and your mana regen to see if you get levels faster at the higher or lower levels. Also you have to take AOE into account if thats what you are doing.

For example. Your spell kill 10HP per 1 mana, you generate 1 mana per second. Thus you can kill 10 HP per second, at that level.

At a higher level your spell kill 100HP per 1 mana, you generate 10 mana per second. Thus at higher level you kill 1000 HP per second, at that level. AND if you aoe you need to figure damage per mana X number of average mobs per pull.

I just makeing up figures for comparision but to say that because you have to kill more mobs at higher level you will level slower at the higher levels is way way way to simplistic, you have to consider your ability to kill mobs also, which is related to your mana regen (in the case of casters) and damage per mana.

His information is fairly accurate.

This is not what you are doing though. You are grouped and killing the mobs yourself.

Umm he says 1 character is benifited by having 2-3 characters out of group (thus they get no exp) helping kill the mobs for the 1 character, as long as those helpers are not more then 10 levels above you.

I use 4 groups to "help" one group level. The 4 groups also get no exp like the single character helpers yet they help kill faster, of course you agrue its way overkill which is true, but the point is that I run though mobs like they are nothing and kill everything in the vicinity.

I am grouped becuase I level 5 at a time to take advantage of the group bonus. Its the same as what he is doing because I am able to kill mobs faster with 5 groups then with 1 group. Sure it dosnt scale as 5 guys helping a sinlge guy but its still the same.

I do better then what he says cause I do get the group bonus, AND I can aoe. If he has just one or two or three helpers he might not be aoeing, although with the right classes I am sure he would be.

If his math is sound then basically what I am doing is fine. Tag Boosting is at least as fast as Questing or Instance Boosting, if not faster.

Also another point between me and prepared. Prepared, I will bet, did not loot anything for the first 60 levels, looting and mining and skinning really slows down you speed of kill, even if you loot super fast as I do. I'm doing my mages now and because i have like 500 gold and the mobs at low levels drop junk worth nothing in comparision I dont ahve to loot, that easy doubles the speed of leveling for mages (hit the mob 35 yards away and not have to walk to it to loot it). If I didnt have to loot on my shaman (and mine, and herbs and skin) I would be leveling a lot faster.

70+ then RAF groups of 4 shaman to 60 and then level grant 2 more to 60

IF you set up 4 RAF to one account you can do that BUT the 4 will not get raf with each other.

BCDE are not linked ....

If you go

A-B
B-C
C-D
D-E

You have to level D/E at same time for raf 3X. D/E hit 60 but only D can gift ... you get C/B to 30, then you gift C to 60 from D. Gift B to 45 from C. Then gift A to 22 from B?

If you go

A-B
B-C
A-D
D-E

Level D/E to 60 and b/C to 60. B gifts A 30 and D gifts A 30.

Without moveing characters from account to account ($25 and 30 day lockout for 2nd move), it seems not possible to level up 4 and then gift 2 fully up 120 levels, with only 4 accounts.

After that, rotate groups and instance grind to 80. Play one group while the others are getting rested.

A good plan, which I plan to do cept I'll play all at the same time but ONLY TAG with groups that are rested. Once their rested time expires then I tag with a different group.

Prepared has 3 months or more of rested exp accumulated for his run to 80 .... good move.

You should create a buff group. Priest, Mage, Druid, and second Paladin. Buff your current playing group up and speed things along. Free water too.

Moving to the PvE group.

Cheers,

There is a maximum amount of rested - It works out to about 1 and a half bars, so once you have hit this rested cap there is little point resting further, so I'm pretty sure that this isn't part of Prepareds strategy.

Rested XP maxes out at 10 days.
