Boosting 60+ in Outlands instances, numbers

[Stabface]

I've tried some instances now and here are my thoughts :

Blood Furnace - random secondary effects, my alts are completely ungeared so they get 2-3 hit by those grenades.

Underbog - is pretty decent actually, and large enough that you don't hit instance limits. There were some random secondary target effects but none of my alts got killed. Worth checking out more...

Sethekk Halls - mind control totems, more secondary effects like charge or area effect (chain lightning), aggro dumps on the shadow bolt casting guys. Mobs are getting rather high for the alts to help. The last boss will just plain own your alts (maybe if you ran them far away and solo'd him, but not sure).

Shattered Halls - mobs are too high for alts to help much with damage.


I'll finish boosting in a day or two and report back this weekend on Utgarde Keep.

Just do shattered halls that's what I did with my group had an 80 pali with just blue gear bought of of AH.
Was trying to get Figurine of the Colossus but never got shitty luck I guess :P

SH is too slow without help from the alts.

Tried Underbog until 65. Just clear all the mobs until first boss [Hungarfen] then reset. If you're running shamman team I suggest to start Underbogs @ 55 and farm for Totem of the Thunderhead

I ground out 60-61 with my 3 new alts in Underbog. They had full rested and I did not keep exact track of how long it took, but it was about 9 runs up to and killing Hungerfen. I did not go any further than that. It was quick each run. Took about 12 min each. I was able to do it in 3 pulls. Simply going from triple xp to rested XP. Instance grinding from 60-70-80 just isnt going to cut it due to the fact that once you run out of rested you loose half of your xp gain.

About the fastest way to grind the last 20 levels is going to be a mix of questing while you are building up rested xp on multi-box friendly quests and then hit an instance and grind off the rested you save up. Preferably instances that you have quests to complete in.

^ Yup just doing alternate teams and maximize the rested XP.. I also do 3 pulls in 3 different areas and sometimes I leave Hungerfen and just reset to maxime the 5 instance/hr limit limit.

I'll start questing @ 68 since thats the minimum level for Northrend Quests


Now in Underbogs I have my 4 lvl 60 mage starting to grind their rested XP and it's really carnage. Using my lvl 80 Pally to Tank, tried both Prot and Holy spec. Holy spec Holy Shock + Ret spec Judgement of the Wise talent combo was enough to survive and gave more mana to the mages. What I do after pulling all the mobs near the mages, I spam Consecretion, Judgement of Wisdom etc..macro and cast Holy Light then swith to 4 Mage windows and cast Blizzard. The moment I return to my Pally window, Holy Light has been casted and HP is 100%. So I cast Holy Light again. If my Pally HP is under 75% I cast flash of light+Holy Shock then Holy Light, switch to mage windows. The mages average 2k DPS without equips.

Tried also using Destro Warlocks and it works perfectly.


I'll try Black Morass @ 66 since you can pull mobs using a mount.

I would definately recommend UK at 65.

Tried this and it's not a walk in the park because my shaman's spell hit rate is not that good for lvl 70-71 mobs in UK resulting into a low DPS output and slow leveling my rested XP.

Didn't want to make a new topic, so i'll just add it here, since this topic seems most valuable:

If you want to boost 60-65 do it in underbog and clear till the second boss(the dragonthing on a plateau above water)

Place slaves here:

That's when you enter the instance, the small group of mobs you'd normally skip to the most left/north, If you put the slaves on the edge of it, they'll recieve experience even when you kill Ghaz'an.

Goes a lot faster then questing for me.
