AV (bg) xp ! woot ! 500k xp/hour !

[Slats]

Was cool to run into you Multibocks.

I am using my 80 Prot Pally and my 4x Shamans @ 72. Due to the high Horde population on Blackrock levelling can take me quite some time questing wise as I get rolled alot.

I wait a few seconds at the start, then head to Galv. If it looks like Fields of Strife are going to be contested then I run up Snowfall and down the other side to avoid them.

I run in help finish of Galv and then sit in IBT till it burns. Every tower your near that burns you get XP it seems - havn't tested the range. Havn't really tested Graveyards properly either.

Once IBT burns (and omg its so fun punting groups of the edge with thunderstorm) I run to TP and help out there and wait till it burns then move in to the maint town and if only one or two towers are up and Horde are getting close to taking Relief Hut I will use initiate the Drek pull and just tank everything - otherwise wait for them to burn and take on Drek.

If I have a really really good game where it goes smooth like that I'm doing about 10% of a level a game. If I have a crap game maybe 5%.

As long as you do Galv/Belinda and camp towers you should be making pretty good honor and XP. This is a crazy fun way to level and sure beats the hell out of questing.

Does anybody else have anymore tips/suggestions?

There is a discussion on Horde AV tactics going on in the PVP forum http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=24166

Well Im 71 and its sucking. 150k and hour, not exactly something to shout about.

edit: ya been playin for 5 hours and just under 1 million xp. Pretty lame.

I never got under 200k/hour even on bad streaks; to get 150k only I guess you must have very long turtle AVs where your team fail to cap anything ?

Just so you know how the xp works...

• Destroying a tower or bunker awards roughly 1.16% of a level.
• Defeating Galvangar or Balinda awards roughly 1.16% of a level.
• Winning the match awards roughly 1.55% of a level.
• Players are awarded an extra 0.78% for every remaining tower or bunker their team still has when the match is over, regardless of win or loss.
• Successfully rescuing a Wing Commander awards 0.39% of a level

Xp is for everyone so you don't have to be within a certain range to get it, just in the bg.

Ok so maybe that info isn't very accurate. I just hit 71 and went to the last bracket.

At 70 burning a bunker gives about 5.5k xp.
At 71 burning a bunker gives about 18k xp.

Level 70 and 71 are very similar in the xp requirements to level. Does anyone know if you keep getting about 18k per tower/bal/galv through 80 or does it go up with levels?

I thought I heard it was a percentage of a level, but I have noticed my 70 gets very little experience (probably better to quest from 71). Haven't noticed a difference in leveling time from 71-74 though on my priest, seems about 4-6 hours each time.

it goes up slightly ... i've got the BOA shoulders and was getting low 18k at 71, and mid 19k at 79.

I dinged 77 now on my rogue & pally but I'm stopping/pausing because I can't stand AV anymore :-)
(all of 71->77 was entirely in AV) - my average went down to around 300k xp/hour because people in AV really suck - had some fun times too though (like recapping the bunkers and winning with around 500 left)

ps : to use you marks; get the epic ground mound (50 marks), the battle standard (+10% damage bonus) for 30 and the tabbard for 60 marks... after that I got 10 of each potion for 2 mark each (another 40 marks) : total 180 marks consumed but I still have a ton left that I have no use of

Nice to meet you as well! At least no one was really giving us a hard time in AV for multiboxing. I had a few interesting conversations as well. Some guy started in on me later and I told him I had no idea why those 4 guys were following, but if they didnt stop I was going to page a GM for harassment.

[Multibocks]

Multiblocks sounds like you are getting the worst case scenario. On the upside it takes me ~6 hours to get a level questing. Soooooo start winning some games and everything should be good to go!

Seriously though this AV leveling is something I am really excited to try out. If you have level 80's that can go into AV with lowbies then it should be awesome. I would think alone you can guarantee at least one tower being destroyed.

If you are familiar with all quests in WoTLK you can do a level in 4 hours, less if you have access to flyers. I was literally taking a quest, flying over all the trash, taking out the quest guy and turning in quest in about 45 secs. Flyers are that OP in northrend =)
