Fastest way to level - instances?

[Pazgaz]

Hello,

I'm new to multiboxing. Currently leveling my first team 4xshaman and 1 pally @ level 42 (not RAFing)
Is dungeon finder the fastest way to go for a team of 5? If not, what is?
What's a typical /played time for you guys when you ding 85 (again, not RAFed).

Thanks!

I levelled 15 - 46 in a few nights so far using random dungeons, total play time is 18 hours - but that's not solid levelling.

The bonus EXP upon completing a random dungeon is fairly significant - once I've done a run completing quests, all subsequent runs are the shortest route to the end boss, this completing the instance and gaining the exp reward.

@ lvl 46 i took a moment to go get my mounts - up until now my warriors and shaman have been positioned by the trainers.

Dungeon Finder is the way to go in my opinion.

^agree, with the occasional quest chain to break up the repetition.

Random Dungeon's are the best because of gather quests. You will never know pain until you try doing a gather quest where every 5 or so mobs drops one 1/10 on 5 different toons. I hate you blizzard for cata questing...

But I do!
Got tired of instances so went questing. First few quests are "kill X mobs" so I'm thinking this is going great. Then I get:
Collect 6 eggs and collect 10 something from whelps. Decided to do it anyway. HUGE mistake.
Not leaving instances ever again

Oh amen! My excitement when Cata came out quickly vanished when I realised that Blizzard had littered every zone and every quest chain with gathering quests with low drop rates

I'm not sure how you'll fare with Cata dungeons due to the lack of a tank in your set up but get some practice at your pally going prot and a shaman going rest cus you'll certainly need it if you intend to dungeon at high levels.

That being said, dungeons at low lvls, quest at high end (80-85) has been my method. For your next team, I suggest BG levelling with full heirlooms. Has made levelling quite a bit of fun when I play a set of toons on AV/IoC CtA

But that is exactly my setup
Pally is prot and one shaman is resto.

As for pvp leveling, I'll try that on my 5 locks I guess.

This is alot of fun just be ready to hear people constantly complaining that you have xtoons on follow and they should report you afk. I did this on one of my teams, both my healers topped healing and my three DPS topped damage and people still complained all game long.

One WSG my warrior had 7 flag returns on his own and we couldn't get a single cap. We lost the BG and people actually blamed me boxing because I could have been replaced by people who could actually "contribute" to the BG.

Some people will always complain when seeing others playing the game in a way they don't. Some people just work that way, everything they don't do themselves must automatically be considered wrong. Just ignore them.

About leveling, what is fastest way from 80 to 85? Is questing best choice?
