Boost grinding a 62 in Northrend.

[Schwarz]

I had a long response deleted by my error......

1 thing to note is that any high lvl in your group will cut xp bigtime......so keep them non-grouped unless you have some quests that you want to do quickly, then just group them together.

Once you hit ~72 with the paladin, you can drop the druid and just tag the mobs with the ungrouped pally........then dps them down with the shaman. Around that lvl, mobs are still green to the lvl 80s and will not take away any xp you would get with the pally. Just dont drop and dps totems, as that would take away xp from the pally.

So,
Pally and Druid grouped..........shaman drop totems.........no xp loss bc of high lvls.......but xp per mob is split between Druid/pally

Pally ungrouped.......shaman dps but not through totems....no xp loss bc of high lvls.....pally gets full xp per mob.

Thanks for the information. If I decide to instance with a lowbie paladin and the 4 level 80 shaman how much of an xp cut should I expect. Ideally I would like to get back into instances and try and hone my skills again.

Also what a freakin weird way of designing things that around level 72 no more totems and just dps from the shaman. Where did you come across this at?

That basicly explains how to use high lvl "pets" without sacrificing xp.

At 80, the lvl of mob that no longer give experience or honor(grey color) is 73 or 72....i think. Its either 73, 72, or 71.... and i am too lazy to log in to find out. If a mob is not "grey" to your lvl 80s, you can tag the mob with your ungrouped low lvl pally, then dps the mobs down with the 80s and still get full xp on the pally. BUT, if you use any type of "pet"...such as a hunter/warlock's pet or shaman totem to help with the dps...it will cut the xp that the pally gets.
The only way "pets" will help and not cut xp is if your pally is grouped with another low lvl toon.

You want to make sure the mobs are not grey to the highest level killing them.

That way you get a lot of exp on the lowbies.

Say a level 70 and a level 60 killing a level 70 mob.

low level gets 60/130th of the total exp, which is really good.

There is more info on this here and boy what a difference this few months has made:
