Cataclysm multiboxing 80-85?

[naPS]

Yup. Lots of collection, and lots of phasing. Gonna be a blast.

The Kopp/Joana guides were great for Vanilla/BC.
The Extreme Leveling, was good for solo but not so great for boxing in WotLK.

Haven't tried the Zygor one, but it seems the best rated.

Not even sure I'll buy a guide this time around, but 30 bucks or whatever isn't much.
And I didn't do the beta, and do like to have an idea of where to go, etc.

With everything Blizzard has done to make questing easy, It seems silly to me to even buy a leveling guide

I use the Zygor Guide from time to time with team, it works pretty well, it would be more worthwhile with the expansion though, not knowing where to go

Hey there guys,

How are you planning to level up to 85? Anyone knows if there are a lot of multibox-unfriendly quests in cataclysm?

I plan to solo level at least two of my characters (shaman and rogue) and probably three of them (hunter). I like playing those classes solo and they also cover most of my professions (cooking, fishing, herbalism, mining, skinning, and enchanting). I plan to run BGs occasionally with the hunter and rogue to slowly build up honor points for 85.

After that I will look into leveling some of the multiboxed groups I have, probably starting with the 1x shaman/4x hunter group since they are 80 (well, one hunter is 78 but that can be quickly fixed).

Quite an usefull map.

Was looking at the map, Seems one thing that might work better for boxers is to skip ahead to say lvl 82-83 stuff, as with boxing it won't be too difficult and can then avoid crowds.

Not having been involved in Beta though I'm not sure if that is doable and exactly where one would go to get start. I think I read somewhere that all the quests are kind of chained. So might require starting in a new zone.

Is the Deepholm zone the underwater one?

Wonder if starting in Uldum might be doable (mostly in avoiding crowds)

You can't do that cause the quests won't be available to you.

I don't know where to start either. Any ideas where you guys are going?

[Bollwerk]

Only 2 choices if you're going to quest (which is likely the fastest way to level). Hyjal or the underwater zone (Vashj something).
I'll probably try out the underwater zone first, but if it's too annoying to box, I'll head to Hyjal.

That is debatable.

The mini-map has an arrow for the currently selected quest.
Once you get into a rough area, that arrow disappears, leaving you wandering in a 200² yard area.
The zone map, will actually take you to a more precise location than the mini-map.

From a one quest at a time perspective, a guide is not worth the price.

But if you've ever played with one, you'll know they have you take quests in one area.
Move to another area and kill one thing.
Move to another area and take more quests.
Move to another area and kill things for two quests, loot things for one quest.
Move to another area, turn in one quest and take the follow up.
Move again and do three quests.
Go back and turn in the first set.

Which means, unlike blindly taking a quest here and another there.
You only kill/loot mobs in a given area the minimal number of times, with the most quest stacking for efficiency possible.

Whether that is worth $30 or not, is also debatable.
