Instance Boosting. EEEK

[heyaz]

Once you figure out the route it's easy. Also a 25k health geared pally is a bazillion times easier than a 15 or 20k healthed one. As for lock Id imagine it a bit different

eh not until like stratholme or ramparts. In the low level ones the mobs don't even break through sacred shield

Its gonna be fun to do this with the upcoming new RAF mount. Makes me wonder if the lowbie will be able to fly in one, cause with Cata, if you have a pally with a 310 mount, and crusader aura, you can take a lvl 1 and just get exploration exp insanely fast, and get "the explorer" title way early.... I'm definately gonna do that when cata is out.

I just grind/quest to 10, then I do SFK to 20-21 (its soooo easy in SFK, I like to stay there, and at 10 its about one level per run, so its not that annoying to do an extra few runs to get an extra level or 2 out of it) then I do SM. I like to run em through all 4 wings, to get them the chieve, and the key, so they can go back, should the need arise. At 40, I either go back to questing so my mind doesnt dissolve, or do a few runs in ZF, BRD, ST, etc, to get to 55 then it picks up again with ramps, as you can leave them at the entrance and pull all of the lower floor, nearly in one pull, then run out reset, repeat. Then I do the starter quests in hellfire for much needed gear upgrades, and quest to 65, then u can boost again inside Utgarde keep to 70 and do northrend starter quests.

I had no problem with Deadmines. I had 2 toons at lvl 21 and wanted to start 4-boxing, and deadmines was great!
I parked my 2 low lvl toons at the begining of the instance (just when they got inside = no /follow !); Used my 80-mage to go over every "living" thing (just run, don't kill) including the 1st Boss ; ran back to the start of the instance; kill everyone with AoEs. Repeated that for all Bosses -> no pats, no aggro for the little ones.
After 2 hours I got tired and started to 1 shot the first bosses to open the doors and drag almost all the instance to the beginning.
Now I'm running instances with my team w/o the 80s help, It takes longer, but is more fun IMHO

Got a lot of miles from SFK til 20 then SM...

60-70 -> Howling Fjord.. I just grouped 4 60s and had a lvl 80 pocket healer (not in the group). Tag'd all mobs within range and let the npcs do the killing.. Of course I yielded to those that are questing but was mostly by myself. 10 levels done in two nights. Very very boring but was able to endure it for two teams.

Edit: used NTK to track if i had successfully tagged my target. lvl 60-64ish is a pain since they miss quite a bit. On my hunters I ate hit food spec'd MM for hit. I sequenced serpent sting to stagger among my 4 guys and switched targets as soon as I see the debuff on my screen. I was in viper all the time. With druids, same thing with food.. Just cycled insect swarm and innervate when necessary.

With the changes in 3.3 instance boosting still viable?

Spot to park toons while instance boosting

I do Deadmines in one pull with a moonkin. Park your toons at the entrance, stealth to every miniboss and kill them (to open the doors), keep stealthing all the way to the ship, then start grabbing every mob you can find while popping rejuv on yourself from time to time. Train the whole instance back to the beginning, pop a starfall and blast some typhoons, you'll see your toons get more than one level in one pull.

After deadmines, switch that boomkin to feral and just destroy Stockades and SM. Grant levels from 40 to 45 (those seem to be the biggest pain in the ass levels) and then use that beautiful feral druid to take out Scholo. Profit.

Druids are the best booster currently, by far.

[OzPhoenix]

Druids for their stealth, Paladins otherwise - either of those two boost with an efficiency fringhtenly better than any other classes can ever do it.

For Horde the progression is pretty easy: (give or take a level or two either side)

RFC 10-16.
WC 16-20.
SFK 20-24
SM(GY) 24-26
SM(LIB) 26-28
SM(ARM) 28-30/1
SM(CATH) 30-40
ZF 40-46 (I just hate Sunken Temple... lol)
BRD 46-54/55
STRATH/SCHOLO 54-58

And then I'd just quest 58-60 in Hellfire Penniensual and there endeth the RAF. When I was doing my recently leveled 5-pally team I pretty much followed that with no boosting, adding a couple of levels to the minimums to ensure the tanks survival.

I love deadmines, ran it so many times back in vanilla that it was a new challenge running it with 4 level 10's. I'm not repeating anything new here but

- Make sure tank has high enough HP, I ran this with a new 80 pally with 17k hp, then again a few weeks later with 28k hp and it makes a big difference (especially in stockade)

- I usually make one of the slaves look back towards the entrance for any mobs and double-check his screen every 5-10 seconds

- Once in the cave with the boat, you can pull the ENTIRE room, I usually place the slaves on the mount to the right of the wooden concourse just after the entrance, pull every mob in the boat area and then run back. I try and stun and kill mr smite before killing everyone else otherwise I end up getting stunned myself.

You could also keep backtracking to kill the spawning mobs.

When I still had RAF time on my accounts ( lots of time ago ) the fastest way was to just do the kill quests. Usually it was about 3 or 4 quests to ding.

Killing 10 murlocks/skeletons/pirates takes less than a minute with a lvl 80. When I landed into a new zone it was like 10 minutes per level. Half of the time was consumed by traveling to the mobs place and delivering the quests back.
Also did the instances, but only to complete the instance quests. Never grinded instances one time and another because it was too boring.

For example, the argent dawn quests in WPL are 30% of level each one, and the last quest was almost half level if I don't mistake. Try doing orange and red kill quests for the extra experience.
If you are alliance and run casters, then do the uldaman quests, specially the necklace one because the reward necklace will last you til lvl 63 or something like.
