Noob boosting question

[Redbeard]

So I havent had to level in the old world in a long time (cause i dont make that many characters) but my brother started playing again so Im making a team over on his server. i moved an 80 there so I could boost. I am hoping somebody can tell me how they go about boosting non-RAF. Im going

1-10 starter zone solo
10-20 Shadow Fang Keep
20-35 SM cathedral


After that i dont really remember where to go optimally. I would guess ZF but im hoping not cause I hate ZF.

If anybody would share what they do for 35-58 so I can get to outlands (at which point things become much easier) that would be awesome, thanks.

P..S. Searched for boosting guides but didnt find much laid out, sorry if this is a repeat.

Can't answer for horde, but my ally toons hit 60 in a bit less than 10 hours played:

1-10 quest
10-16 Deadmines
16-22 Stockades
22-40 SM
40-45 BRD (worst part of all the boosting)
45-60 Scholo

Stay in SM as long as you can as the exp per hour is the best for the entire 1-60 journey.

So I can do SM til 40, cool.

I believe I will try BRD as even if its less effective id rather run around there than ZF.

Thanks Owl

You could stay in SM up until 44 I think, but the exp starts getting really slow. Maybe 20% a level at 43 and you can only do the Cath wing.

I used to just do the Cath wing as it's the quickest. However, if you want to avoid hitting the instance per hour cap, then clear all three wings. In your low 20s a full clear of SM will get you about 2.5 levels.

A couple more things I figured out... your slaves can stay at the entrance of Library. You can clear the whole instance and not move them one and they'll still get exp.

For the armory, I keep my slaves where they are, kill as I go (feral tank) up until the second pair of stairs (the last stairs before Herod). If you go up those stairs, you will be out of exp range for your slaves. Before those stairs, your slaves are within range. Once I clear everything up to the stairs, I then stealth to Herod and drag everything back to before the stairs.

For Cath I just kill everything outside the actual Cath, and then pull the entire Cath to right outside the Cath.

That system allows your slaves to never move in SM and the only time you're not killing as you go (less durability wear on your gear) is for the short distance from Herods room to the stair case.

1-10 quest
10-25 SFK
25-35 SM (I hate sm)
35-45 Sunken Temple
45-55 Scholomance
55+ outlands

Nice thing is all the instances are on the same side of the map so its easy to get teams around. And other than SFK, you only spend 10 levels not some 20+ level grind on the same stuff.

1-8 quest
8-10 ragefire
10-20 sfk
20-40 sm
40-45 brd
45-55 strat/scholo
55-60 ramparts

tbh from 40 to 45 just stay in SM, i tried ZF and just gone back to SM, save the time and stay at SM till 45 then go to Strat at 45.

[Maxion]

I like to keep mine close, so I do:

1-8 quest
8-10 ragefire (or quest to 10 and skip rfc)
10-20 shadowfang keep
20-45 sm
45-55 scholo
55-58/60 ramps, or stay in scholo till 58

Edit: Big point in these as well is that I pull in ways that I can leave alts at entrance in all of them.
