3 Hours of Work for a Level 60

[Mercurio]

Nice! Your hardware boxing right?

Actually I'm using just two computers to 10-box, 5 on each computer, then Keyclone to link them.

And for leveling, obviously just one computer.

my personal best was 8h 55m for boosting 4x. according to your formula (time played divided by 4 = time spent to produce 1 level 60), then i would've spent 2h 15m per toon at that rate!

Nice! That's pretty studly Darelik!

But you created two new TBC accounts so you could quest in the BElf zone? Wasn't that a bit pricey for throwaway accounts or do you have some future use for them planned?

LOL, great point falsfire. It was a split-second decision while at Gamestop - "Two vanilla WoWs please... (then thought of Silvermoon) Oh, wait, better make those Battlechests". They are definitely throw-away accounts and I should have thought through that. Then again, another $40 may actually be worth it to me to be able to use the BElf zone a couple times. Hell, I'm blowing $150/mo on this game anyway, what's a bit more?

Ew.... now I have to spend all those talent points, go to all the cities to get weapon skills, buy all those skills from trainers, do a few class quests (at least I didn't make any more shaman <shudder>), go train riding skills and mounts, and maybe get them out of their starting robes before heading to Outland!

L60 toons should just be free for anyone who already has at least one. The 60 to 80 grind makes up for it anyway.

what are you guys using from 70-80??

With my second team i used 20 hours i belive give or take, not a world record and it could have been done alot faster.

And yes, I am a bit bitter about it. If I could spend $20 on an existing account to enable RAF leveling, I'd be happy.

same here, i was level 10 on my 5box team when they announced RAF. I never had the pleasure.

RAF was announced literally 1 week after I purchased my additional accounts.

I'm with you... and, like you, I'd be happy to send 20 bucks or so to enable RAF on my existing accounts.

Definitely interested in how long it takes and what you do for the 60-70 and 70-80 grind.

I am having a hard time believing 20hrs for 70-80. Even with rest I was taking 6hrs per level. Plus I have seen posts where people are taking over 10hrs per level.

Can we get an explanation on how you did this and how you think it could be done a lot faster??

edit: Oh, maybe you meant it took you 20hrs to get to 60, that would make a lot more sense, sorry.

I boosted 60-65 and then 65-70 quests in probably 24h played and then my 70-80 grind is something like 4-5 days /played. (druids 1-80 with 0 rest was 5d20h played.)

20 hours per char ofc.

Total time spent from 70-80 was like 100 hours aka 20 hours per char, and i could not enter dalaran to train skills. I had to take the zep back to orgrimmar to train my skills!

But its pretty fast considering thoose who rushed spent 15-20 hours?

I'm leveling up another group to 10 man raids and I'll tell ya, I wasted 2 hours going to weapons trainers, class trainers, reagent vendors and Riding trainers just to get my group set to go to Outland for real (as opposed to getting summoned to Ramps for boosting).

I actually put off leveling the group as I told myself I needed more gold for equipment in a valorous but ultimately failed attempt to put off doing all of that grunt work.
