Is there life after 60?

[IkYiolul]

So I'll have my accounts maxed with lvl 60 characters.

The catch?

They all have lvl 1 skills and lvl 1 gear (except a set of usable equip from strat)

Has anyone else started out this way with little gold? (I've got about ~3k)
How did you go about getting geared for outland?

My plan is to just pray for the best with the lack of equp and the OP quad damage (I'm a quad-boxer) to get the quests accomplished and get some gear. Obviously I'll do the gear quests or maybe even grab an 80 to get basic gear so I can get the groups running without help from outside the group.

Thanks for your advice-

I did trade skilz, sure you won't make any monies at the start but slow but sure it builds up. I make like 100G or more a day just selling bags but each server is different. But the extra time it takes you might just be better off staying in starter gear ....

[IkYiolul]

Yeah my groups are about done, and once they are I'll be workin on the shammy group. I remember reading in an old thread that PVP isnt good for lvling anymore, anyone second this?

I cant wait to work on getting the shamans to 70 in BC.
Cant wait to actually play the game in general, all my freetime in the past couple months has been devoted to boosting the groups...

You have 5 chars, go rape some solo quest in outlands and get geared. Took me about 2 hours to go from literally no gear to full BC greens. While questing gear is totally irrelevent for a 5 boxer, you barely even get hit. Don't even waste time worrying about gear until 80 imo, its a nice side bonus to doing quest for exp but its almost entirely not needed until heroics.

This is awesome guys thanks so much for the insight. I have 5 days off of work for Turkey day so I should be able to get my last two groups done before RAF is up (est dec 10th)

Thanks again, I'll keep you guys posted.

How much do slow flying mounts run these days? And I thought they are 60% land speed as well, or is it 100% land / 60% flying

It's just under 300g all in for training and mount. Training is something like 240(something) g and the mount is around 47g. I just did it last night on 3 characters and forgotten already! lol

As for speeds...in the air it's 150%...I believe it's 100% on land...but I may be wrong. Either way...worth every gold. I remember doing my epic land mount quest chain on my warlock and it costing me something like 800g all in! You'll make it back easily. Especially if you're using heirlooms on any of your toons.

I recently levelled a second warlock from 60-80 (he'd been boosted to 60 from RAF) and was kitted out in heirloom chest, shoulders and staff.....in those 20 levels he made something like 3000g.

Have fun

If your toons are basically naked 60's, you should be able to do the starter quests in Hellfire.
And that will easily get you the gear to level to 70th.

The early 70th level quests, assume you have really crap gear and are one-boxing. So Borean Tundra/Howling Fjord are basically the same deal.

Quest a bit, you'll be ok with 4 toons.
The only thing I'd consider buying... slow flying mounts.

You won't need anything else to level.
Actually, you won't need to slow flyers even, but they speed up the process enormously.

Once you're in Outland gold isn't much of an issue.
You make it from quests faster then you need to spend it.
And Northrend follows this theme too.

I agree, do hellfire / shatt quests, then head back to do instance quests in plaguelands / lbrs / brd and clean those places casually if you know the quests well. If nothing more than the get your spider and worg pets.

if you have the brew fest teleporter (or know someone that can drop one for you, half the brd quest are a snap)

I got a Circle of Flame for my new little warlock cleaning those quests, quite happy I did.

[boxblizzard]

as above, just do the quests and they will replace 16-17 items, you will be reasonbly geard by then, 62-63)

[ragawaga]

Everyone's pretty much said it. Even with 4 naked toons you'll gear up pretty quickly....just don't go making insane pulls

The quest rewards and vend trash you pick up will help you with gold. You could also go and level the gathering skills. Skinning 1-300 only takes about 2 hours....mining around 4. Not sure about herbalism. You can either use the mats to level crafting skills....or just sell them for gold. There aren't many people farming old world mats so they usually sell pretty well.
