Well I've gone from 71 to 77 on 3 of my shaman in super quick time.
I dinged 3 times on saturday alone - but was playing all day.

Thing is i'm enjoying the hell out of it, and each level brings more fun.

Had to laugh when one moron in BG chat was telling us all to go level, that levelling is quicker, outside of a battleground.
Never ceases to amaze me that people will argue against those with actual practical experience.

One big problem - I have no supporting 80's. So money has been an issue. i had to start training only certain abilities for a while and it's looking like I will only have a flying mount on one of my 80s. However I found something to help with that.

I got to 40k honour on my guys quite quickly and as I had quite a few levels I figured I would hit the level cap too soon, so I used the honour to buy Cardinal Rubys from the Jewelcrafting vendor in the hall of legends.

On alliance side these go for about 150 gold each. On horde on my server they go for about 120. I'd list only a couple at a time, making sure they were lower than any others. 16 of those x 120 was a nice chunk of cash.

I'm now back up to 71k honour on all my guys, but I figure I'll buy two pieces of deadly (the shoulders and gloves) tomorrow ready for me to step in to at 80. It shouldn't take too long to get a third piece either.

I've pretty much only quested in the borean tundra and a chunk of sholazaar, so I'll have to go do questing in all the other areas I skipped to get enough gold for flappers on all, so I can unlock dailies.
