Cataclysm leveling

[valle2000]

I have a 5box team which just completed questing in Mount Hyjal and they are 81.5 now. If I don't want to go to Vashj'ir due to the huge amount (in my opinion) of gathering quest and I dislike boxing under water as well; are my only options dungeon or battleground now? Cause Deepholm won't work until lvl 82 right?

i did not do Vashj'ir at all and no battegrounds.

I skipped Vash till I was done with every other zone. I dont recall what level I was when I finished Hyjal, but I rolled right into Deepholm w/o any problems and no rested xp etc a day after launch. Pretty sure I got the Deepholm starter quest off the bulletin board.

The board quest that sends you to Deepholm won't become available until 82.

I just started with my group, but I leveled them individually to 81 in Vash'jir first, because it takes like an hour or two via the quests. It was repetitive and boring, but didn't take long and the hunters in my group got the quest bow (279 DPS) which was a nice DPS boost for them from the 138/186 DPS weapons they had.

If you're halfway to 82 you can try Vash'jir just for the last bit of exp you need, though I cringe at the thought of trying to multibox that zone. It's difficult enough as a solo character. On the other hand, players seem to avoid it like the plague, so you can usually quest in peace and don't have to stand in line for mobs or drops.

I had no rested at all, and camped in Hyjal (without the inn bonus, for some reason could not find an inn that gave rested). The team did every single quest and left at 81.90.

Then did every quest in Vashj'ir, then Deepholm. Was 30% into 83rd at the end of Vashj'ir. And barely into 84th by the end of Deepholm.

I've barely started Uldum, maybe 20-25% through the zone and am 60% through 84th.

Ualaa, you should skip Uldum, it is the worst zone for multiboxing. Get the twilight highlands breadcrumb and finish 84 off there. Twilight Highlands is easily the best MB zone in the expansion with many of the quests MB friendly.

I Agree. Uldum was a never-ending nightmare of phasing, cut scenes and crappy quests in general. I wanted to puke every time I saw a continuation of the Harrison Jones questline.

I am trying a different approach.

1 ) Level my tanks individually to lvl 85 and gear them properly.
2 ) Discover instance entrances with the other toons and level them instancing.

So far I have leveled my tanks almost 100% instancing. After I hit lvl 85 I did the hyjal quests... all of them for the gold and reputation. Other than that, my tanks have only the portal opening quests from the other zones... don't think I will do all the quests there because phasing and cutscenes are just boring.

Awww, it was fun to single box through
