Your problem is that the mobs are SOOO low level, that the 80 is killing the xp.

I can say this with DEFINITIVE FACT... because I am doing it RIGHT NOW... linking Main -> Account 1 -> Account 2 WILL result in triple xp. I am boosthing my toons through SM as we speak (level 35.82 on both). This isn't "something I did in TBC" or something I did 5 months ago... I boosted 15 levels YESTERDAY. It worked for RFC (in there for 7 levels)... it worked for SFK (in there for 6 levels [helping a friend level to 20, so that he could join me in SM])... and has worked in SM for 15 (almost 16) levels. Please stop spreading FUD, it doesn't help solve the actual problem.

The problem that you are having is that the mobs are "at level" for your lowbies, and having the 80 kill them is going to get you a grand total of ~3xp... triple that = 9 xp. Here is a VERY simple solution to your problem, and it will help you out in the long run...

Keep your 80 OUT of the equation until level 8-10, when you can get into your first instance. Start a new toon on your main account, and have all 3 levels 1s do the starting quests up until level 10. Once you ding level 10, head into your first instance (for me, it was RFC at 8 ). Doing it this way will do a few different things for you.
  1. It will give you MUCH better xp going from level 1-10.
  2. Killing things in the starting area with 3 toons is CRAZY easy, especially if they are all properly /assist (ing).
  3. It will save you "granted levels". Boosting 1 toon to 60 will give you a free level 30 on your main account... but if you do it this way, you will have a free level 40. Doing it twice will give you a free level 60 and a free level 20.
  4. You will get a feel for your group, and get a very basic understanding on how they function together (pure class... not an issue / mixed group... helps a little).


Seriously, it should take you 1-2 hours to level from 1-10... maybe a LITTLE bit more if you keep getting "find me 5 ____" quests. You don't need an 80 until you are going into your first instance, so drop your main, re-roll another toon, and level them all 3 by hand to 10.
