Boosting experiences

[Knytestorme]

Should I stay in ZF at 42 or go to BRD? ZF seems like lots of mobs and my noobs follow me on their mounts as I howling blast everything.

Have never done ZF in the last month doing 4 teams.

I leave SM at 40 and go to Scholo till ~45, run Strat live once to do quests then run strat dead till 48 then off to UBRS till 58. With both scholo and UBRS you can leave your team at close to the zone-in and get full xp (UBRS you have to move them in to the bridge in questgiver room).

Could also do BRD from 48-52 if you like but I just found it annoying when I did it the other day.

[EDIT]

Tundra, I've been leveling them up a team at a time with boosting to 70/72 and then questing to 81 the rest of the way and found it keeps me sane as just as I'm nearing the end of northrend and getting sick of it I am then changing back into boosting mode before having to hit it up again...not sure I could handle doing 70-80 in northrend 10 times in a row without a break.

The thing to consider with your plan is that to do what you want to do you will have to link all the RAF's to your initial account and if you are then boosting I do't believe the lowbies will get the RAF benefit since their linked account isn't in the correct level range but I may be wrong, just something to check into

do you guys find it easier to boost a group of toons from 1-81 and then start another group or do you level a few groups up in stages?
I'm planing on starting my Raf soon 5 accounts and wanted to make 5xclass of everything. i currently only have 2 level 85's
Please correct me if my math is wrong!
Each set of characters boosted to 81 should give me 40 grant-a-levels
If i boost all 9 classes to 81 thats 360 grant-a-levels + 2 from leveling the dk's from 55-60 and 10 more from 60-81
Total 372 grant-a-levels if i boost all 10 classes during the 90 days RAF.

That leaves my first account with my 2 current 85's and the death knight i leveled to 60.
i spend 41 of my levels to get my dk to 81 leaving me with 331 Grant-a-levels to get the 7 other classes to 81
331(levels)/7(classes left)= 47.29 levels to grant each
81-47= 34(Min level to reach 81)

So i need to get all classes to 34(35 maybe if my math is wrong or i missed some info how the levels work now) so i can grant them to 81 with 2 grant-a-levels left over from level 34(or 9 left over from 35)

I boost one group up until they are capable of boosting the next to 15. Then I let them get rested while I do the next group and repeat. So given my time , By the end of week one, I have at least 8-9 teams at level 15, and am then able to boost them all the way at my will. I so hate the starting levels anymore, and sure, it takes an hour to get them to 15, but they are so boring.

I'm planing on linking my accounts A-C-D-E-F
Because i already have a B which i no longer use..
Are you saying that if I'm boosting with A because its not in the level range I'm not going to be able to grant any characters on A up? ... i might have to quest/instance them all up in groups of 5 if that's the case
Thanks leveling 1 group up at a time sounds sensible(<that's hard to spell)

nah, doing it that way is fine I believe since all are linked to a RAF partner in their range but I'm not positive about A.

I have mine linked B-C-D-E and boost with an unlinked A and it's been fine but I can't comment on what happens with A in your situation. You might want to make a separate post in newbie or general forum if searching doesn't bring you an answer just to make sure it all will work before doing it.

[F9thRet]

Right, with A that would be the end of the chain , unless it is linked to say your B account that you already have leveled up. There really is no wrong way of doing it, and heck with one group just questing and randoms, you can level in a day or two to 60 easy, and then to 80 in a few more days.

for any alliance players.

Just confirmed if you leave team at Commander Coe in stockades at entry you will get full xp for the instance

[Meathead]

When boosting I used a level 85 DK in few epics and blue's of 85 gear. Also I did use BOA gear on all characters 2 piece extra 20% XP

Level's 1 - 11

Quest at your starting zone till level 11, I used the Undead to me they were the fastest to get to that level, less pick up quests, I only had to do 2 all the way to level 11 to add more to the Undead zone there are a few RARE MONSTERS give great XP ! (at least a quarter/half level from a kill)

Level's 11 - 22

SFK Instance

Used HGWT to get to the instance.

The Instance I choose was SFK I parked my toons at the entrance near the gate and then took my DK on a rampage all the way thru it to the end of the instance and back. Run the instance about 5-6 times when your toons hit 20-21 go get the quests and then do a run with your Alts on follow of your main Toon due to the fact the quest goes all the way thru the instance to the last boss.

Level's 22 - 36

SM Instance

Used HGWT Again

Now with SM I ran Cath and Armory till I hit level 30 then went in to Graveyard and accepted the quest, my Toons sat on the stairs going up to the out door zone, once the quest was complete I then went and did Libary- Accept the quests in Libary btw there are 2 quests one at the start and one just after the first court yard after accepting them I when and ran the instance once and completed it till quests were done. Then go back in to Cath and Armory run it till you are level 34-35 to accept the new quests then have, They both have 2 quests one at the start in armory and cath, with in cath there is one at the top of the waterfall in the middle and one in armory in the middle of the court yard. do them quests/runs till you reach level 36.

Level's 36 - 42

Scholo

Used HGWT Again

Keep your toons at the start of the bridge near the NPC's they will get all XP in the instance..I ran the the whole instance taking about 10mins to do one run but it is worth it due to the bosses giving good xp aswell.keep running the instance over and over till you reach level 40 then accept all the quests.once accepted clear the first room then move them up and sit them in that room. clear the rest of the instance and collect your quests items they will get the kills for the boss quests or objective quests but there is one quest that is a pick up, once done all the quests turn them in I GAINED 1 and half LEVELS from them! then ran Scholo one more time to hit 42.

AT Level 42 My play time is 4 hours 20mins

WILL KEEP UPDATING AS I GO!

hey guys, just found an ok lvling area inside the Halls of Lightning

its the area with the rock elementals called Slag, gives around 1% -2% of a level, each clear, about 15 mobs with low as HP with a near instant respawn, im getting 1-3% of a level per minute which should average out to 50-55 mins per level, im at 78 now

[e2thex]

Has anyone tried boosting in the Icecrown Citadel 5 mans? They seem like a good way to get some leveling gear to replace the lvl 1 gear on the slaves before hitting the Cata content.

I always run it at 78 in order to complete the quest line for the added xp. With RAF and BOAs you can get very close to 80. The added epic drops are also nice, but you will replace them as soon as you start questing cat a zones.
