Boosting experiences

[Knytestorme]

just adding onto this after some more experimenting last night with new team in regards to SM.

GY - As stated, clear to steps leading up and leave team there, will get xp for boss.

Library - Can leave team at quest-giver and get xp for all mobs inc Doan

Armory - Clear first area to steps, leave team there and will get xp up to Herod

Cath - leave team parked at archway leading into courtyard, will get full xp up to second pillar set in Cath so make sure to pull bosses back to there before killing.

For SFK I found I needed about 5 runs to get from 11 to 21 but I stayed there till 23 before getting bored, started taking more than 10 min a level around then lol

Haha, we're so spoiled when we're boosting.

lol yeah, I even was telling myself off for thinking it at the time. Just wasn't right to be thinking it but all I could think was how much faster I could hit 25/30 if I moved to SM right away, and I was right....1-30 in 6 hours last night after work

For SM cath I used a quicker way after seing a video YT, I haven't tried this in cata I must say tho, not sure if it still works.

I would just park them at entrance, the one boss you do kill ain't THAT much XP.

Don't need to move your guys ever in SM.

In Armory, just pull Herod back to the stairs down.

In Cath, the most efficient way is to clear the bottom, them run directly to the Commander or Champion guy. Pull him out of the cath with the ENTIRE cath with him. Kill them just off the stairs. Wait for the chick. Let her res the Commander. Everything else on top will now agro. Run down to the lower level and LOS around the stairs and kill everything.

At 33 go to Scholo.

At 42 go to BRD.

BRD is the best boosting place in the game now in my experience.

Im getting through my second Boosting Group. First was Warriors, now onto hunters. I rush as a Feral Druid, geared in Cata Epics.

Heres how I've done it.

1-10 -> Questing

11-15 .> RFC, tow them till the first island of Targarin (sp). Then can sit them there.

15-23 -> SFK, Just park them at the gate. This Zone is perfect for boosting, incredibly easy and a ton of bosses.

23-39 -> SM. Library to Cath is easy. Mobs are closely packed and running the quests along the way is a great bonus.

39-50 -> ZF is awesome. The Zombie/Graves bit gives almost 60% of a level. I usually tow the characters around with
me, ZF is too big and you can't mass pull this place anymore, but its still full of baddies and a relatively quick boost.

50-59 -> UBRS/LBRS. This zone would be perfect if I didn't have to run back from the LBRS boss back to the instance zonein (adds ~5min to a run time). Again, I just tow the characters with me.

59-61 -> Ramparts. Towing characters. Still trying to find a place I can leave them.

62-64 -> BF. The bombs can hurt a bit if you aren't careful, but again, leaving them just isn't working out.

64-66 -> Slave Pens. Kind of a crappy zone, but was easy enough to rush through.

66-69 -> Completely Random zones. I got bored and just started running around HGWT to random instances to get the achievements.

69-72 -> Utgarde Keep. I hate this place. Its easy to rush, but trailing toons behind you can get cumbersone, as some of the mobs have cone/AE attacks. Gets very bad after 70. Getting to 70 was cake, but exp slows down immensely at 70, even with 3x in the dungeons.

72+ I've yet to find a good place to go. Currently in Azjul Nerub.

Going to try questing in WOTLK as it seems those dungeons aren't made for rushing and parking the alt toons and they don't give nearly as much exp as questing does.

I do not agree. I've always done Morgraine prior to doing anything with the bottom because he auto pulls the
entire instance to you after Whitemane revives him.

59-61 -> Ramparts. Towing characters. Still trying to find a place I can leave them.

What is wrong with leaving them right at the point where you zone in?

I didn't get exp from the final 2 bosses when I left them at the start... Ill try it again though, my Hunters just dinged 59 in BRS.

Weird. The only boss I remember having to worry about range-wise was Gargolmar. Vazruden and his dragon
should be closer to the zone in point than either of the other 2 bosses.
