Boosting Help

[Drizzit]

Hello, I know i haven't been on or on and off for some time. I got into raiding switched guilds, and benched warmed too much so i quite. I sort of want to get back into wow, probably solo making a druid. My main was a DK and was doing great dps, but never could get into groups because "flavor of the month" and groups always had tons of DK. So i am thinking about making a druid. This way i can cover all the grounds, healing, ranged dps, melee dps, and tanking. I started on my druid and got him to lvl 31 without a refer a friend. Got bored and quit.

Here is my question. This is my DK http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&n=Darkenangel

She is in her dps gear. I have a tier 7 tanking set too, but no where near what i have like my dps gear (oh i also have 2 good 1 handed tanking swords). What i need is a good boosting spec to help boost my toon to lvl 70. At 70 i am just going to do wrath quests to get to 80.

I have the 2 professions maxed right now (225 enchanting and 225 tailoring) on this toon so i don't want to remake. What i was thinking was get a battle chest and power lvl 2 toons to lvl 31 and then switched to my 31 and start grinding. Would this be a good idea or a bad idea? I know the triple xp would be great but will starting from lvl 1 again be worth it? So would the triple xp from 1-60 be faster then lvling 31-60?

The other questions is best instances this is what i am aiming for:
if i have to reboost 1-31
8-10 RFC
10-20 SFK
20-35 SM
35-45 ZF
45-55 Strat (work on getting horse too lol)
55 -65 mix of steam vault, shatterhalls
65-70 SL

I just remember when i was boosting my 4 shams in zf to get from 40-45 seemed like forever.

10-25 SFK Yes you can go to SM at 20, but I found the extra 5 levels here made it more bearable than trying to get 20 there

25-35 SM

35-45 Sunken Temple. Clear the bottom two loops and the dragon level. quick easy and takes less than 15min and you dont have to move from the entrance to get all the xp.

45-60 Scholomance. Like sunken temple you can clear the large rooms in about 17min and not have to move your boosted toon from the entrance. Jump off the bridge, clear, kill the next room, kill the dragon welps, hop down and kill the boss and get the key. come back up and go kill the basement with the caster boss lady, come back and open the door and kill the teachers, repeat. If you dont have the key, use the new LFD tool or go buy a stack of blacksmithing keys from the AH for like 3g

60-70 quest http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=26508

Post has a list of quests for 5 zones, should easily be 68-70 and off to northrend. With flying at 60 you will be done in no time.

Alright Starbuck, I'm going to try this - my guys are at about 32 in SM and I'm getting sick of it.

That said, my normal loop:

10-20 SFK
20-40 SM - the hard part here is it is VERY easy to go past the 5-in-1-hour rule
40-45 BRD (just the Bael'Gar wing 5 or 6 times)
45-55 Strat (Dead Side, usually through the Service Entrance...if you have Key)
55-60 Ramparts.

[Drizzit]

cool thanks. I was thinking sunken temple, but didn't know if it was good xp. I have to look at a map at sunken temple to see what you mean. I was thinking scholomance, but wanted the mount, but i am going to stick with what i wanted to do making the druid, just to go out in instances and kill stuff. Not going to worry about getting achievements.

Also rethinking the battle chest. It will cost me $40 to get my toon to 60 and then not going to use other account, so i am just going to get the basic $20 one.

I like druids quite a bit.
You can tank (bear), heal (tree), and dps (cat or owl).

Then again, if you are boxing, you'll likely cover all the roles you need.
Depends how many toons you are running.
You mention a battlechest and powerleveling two toons.
And then also mention when you were boosting four shamans.

4x Retribution Pallies + 1x Frost/Blood DK, is a popular melee team.
4x Shaman + 1x Paladin, or 3x Shaman, 1x Warlock/Druid, 1x Paladin. (Could replace Paladin with Bear easily).
5x Shaman, 5x Druid, 5x Rogue, 5x Warlock, 5x Hunter etc.. are fun. (Or add 1x Healer, to 4x whatever).

The trick to a good boosting instance is being able to leave your alts in a safe spot while you clear with your main. This allows you to focus solely on clearing it as fast as possible without worrying about if they die etc. Also, a dungeon that you can clear in a circular fashion is better to minimize run time. To that end, here's my boosting path:

1-10: Questing.
10-20: SFK. You can leave your alts at the zone in portal and clear the whole instance. On your way back you can save about 2 minutes by jumping onto the roof and then hopping down into the zone in area.
20-35: SM. With my DK I can clear all three wings in less than 12 minutes. You can't leave your guys at the entrance in any of the wings and still get XP but you only have to move them about halfway through on each one--I clear it to half and then move them up while I gather the rest of the mobs. Cake walk.
35-45: ZF. The slowest part. You can clear straight up until you get to the T junction and leave your guys there. Go clear the rest of the instance (it's a circle) including all of the tombs with the zombies in it. Then you can mount up and reset.
45-55: LBRS. I don't know why people take Strath or Schol over LBRS. You can zone in and clear the entrance room and then go down to the drop off and leave your alts there. Then you can drop down and clear all of the orcs and then move your way up through the troll area all the way to your alts. Alts get XP the whole way and you only spend about ~45 seconds inside the dungeon where you're NOT killing mobs.
55-60: Ramparts. I tend to bring alts with me but you can move them forward across the bridge and they'll get XP for the whole instance.

My fastest boost was just over 7 hours. I think you could cut an hour off of that by not wiping and somehow speeding up the 1-10 portion.

[Drizzit]

shit 7 hours to get to 60... that is what i am looking for. I would have to do LBRS till 60 though sense i am only getting the original game. I thought about it a lot and i think redoing the 1-60 with triple will be faster then the 31-60 with solo xp.

[Emo?]

Heres what i did with my retripaladins.
1-10 questing
10-20 RFC (not worth moving to SFK and such once you have started here)
20-40 SM
40-45 ZF (about 1 hour)
45-55 Stratholme

Played about 18h so far, and that inculdes some macro time aswell.

GL. I boosted with a combat rogue untill ZF, then i swiched to a frostmage instead.

edit, typoes.

[dougie700]

I found wen i was boosting toons thro SM that i could leave them at the entrances, go get the bosses and work back towards the entrance, pre wrath backwards walking, post wrath the bbble that lasts for a minite, name escapes me at mo, divine sheild to open the door for herald/ catherdral. Its a lot easier with a prot pally than a DK in either dps or tank mode.

And what about stratholme, esp dead side, empty bags, lvls 45-56, i used dead side for faster boosts/ mount runs. and the pally could cleanse (not saying druids can't, have no experiance with playing a druid yet! ) but found strat to be a fast xp instance for boosting and if you get bored, go for a full run.

An easier way (i've found to boost) through SM cath is too leave the boostees at the door run all the way, don't aggro anyone ( sacred shield just incase) open the doors, sacred shield, holy shield, then kill mograine asap. Then make sure you've got atleast 8s left on Holy shield and sacred shield and that you are facing toward all the mobs and get Whitemane down to 10%, she stuns you for 7s, then run back strafing with SS and HS on, jump down the waterfall one Holy Light, turn on retri aura run into the first corridor, all the mobs aggro. Kill!
