Slingshot

[TMNT]

I figure id share with you the way im quad-boxing my 4 shamans. I call it the slingshot method lol. All 4 of my accounts have some kind of 60+ character on it. So what i do is i quad box with 3 shamans(sitting one out) and one 60+. I just constantly grind instances and it is very good exp. After a run is over whoever has the most exp, sits out and i replace that one with a 60+ they all stay very close in level and instead of asking people to run me through instances i can do it myself

I agree with instancing, until you get to the Outlands. Leveling has slowed down quite a bit, at least for me.

I'd pay good money for a modified Kopp/alliance guide that skips all collection quests.

I hear that one hunters guid....i forgot the name...something starting with a J i think. Im pretty sure you have to pay for it, however iv seen it on torrents and such.

Joanna's levelling guide. Excellent guide btw. I think the Outlands part was a bit hastily thrown together and not quite as good as the Azeroth portion. Don't know if it has been updated since I last saw it.

If I remember correctly the Outlands portion didn't specify whether quests are collection quests or not, just has a map with numbers on it and then it tells you in what sequence to go to numbers to pick up quests / turn in quests / complete quests.

I would love an in-game add-on that shows you information about available quests on a zone-by-zone basis.

Joanna's guide is for Horde and Brian Kopp's is for Alliance, btw.

this is the main problem my brother and I are having, we both five box.

The quests are slow as all hell, since tons oft hem require you to loot something, or harvest something.

Instance grinding the fastest way to level?

or

With the new changes to exp... should we keep up with the quests?

I like to just grind instances. Especially if you have characters in your group that are aspiring tailors, instances are great for cloth.

I've followed Kopp's guide for my priest/warlock group and it's pretty much been smooth. I've levelled before with his guide so I know which quests to skip. A lot has changed in the last 6 months and the've changed the drop rate on a lot of quests. I remember tearing my hair out on the Zangermarsh area because of the low drop rates on the collection quests but it was actually much better this time around.

What I found myelf doing was skipping the short chain quests with large (>10 items with lower drop rates) and replacing them with the elite quests (Nagrand mastery quests for example) which Brian Kopp seems to skip over because they can't be done easily without a group. This way, I'm within 10% of the level that a single player would be at if soloing the quests and blowing through them quickly.

I did the instance grinds early, and like most people say, you're pretty much bored to death doing them. So getting out and doing quests is quite refreshing compared to repeat runs in instances.

Couldn't agree more. I did instance grinds to death and it was giving me serious burnout after getting two teams to just over 40 like that. I've now started following Brian Kopp's guide from around the L37 mark to make up for collection quests and it's soooo refreshing. I've actually discovered some areas of the game I never even saw before in Duskwallow (after 2.5 years I thought I saw it all :O).

Also, if you are new to multiboxing, boosting all the way to 60+ will not give you the practice with "team management" that you'll need in outlands and instances. I've sorted out all my UI and keybindings to a setup that works for me and feels natural now, so I'm really enjoying "going solo" without the support of a 60+.

Both Kopp and Joana are loaded with collection quests. Hell, one of the first quests in Hellfire is to gather 8 ore and 8 wood. That means picking up 80 pieces off the ground for a 5-boxer. No thanks!

But now that I think about it, instancing and questing are probably on par with each other, if you figure in travel time, dealing with gankers, etc. It just seems to take longer in an instance, so monotonous in there.
