PLANS: Realm first 90 monk via boxing boost (advice wanted)

[simpletom]

Cheers for all the replies guys

3x 85s with you in a dungeon will net you very low exp, even over 80.

I think you might be right, i had thought maybe if I group with 5 then offline 2 of them so effectively only using 2 level 85s to boost the Monk might give more XP than if it was in a group of 5 80s? Will have to give this a try to find out.

As for the RAF suggestion by others, I have a feeling with blizzard planning on changing the way RAF works in the future that it wont be available on MOP release, this or they wont allow it for Monks. People on forums have suggested that using RAF gifted levels/xp bonus or using a saved SOR insta level 80 would somehow disable the chance of getting realm first. Something we wont know until closer to the time, if they announce this at all.

If you're trying to do a realm first, then questing from 1 - 58 might be a giant waste of time if you have a booster available to you. Boosting to level 80 takes 20 - 25 hours if you're a pro. There will be downtime in between the instances because you will hit the lockout. I'm going to bet that even if you only did instances via boosting and you just ate the lockout time, you would still reach level 58 (and beyond) faster than questing.

Will have to try this, at the moment I've been levelling the odd character in different zones and recording the time its taken to level. Will have to give this method a go and see what it takes to hit 58. The goal is to hit 85 within 24 hours of the expansions launch, hopefully unsettling any competition to basically give up so I can grab a few hours sleep before plowing into MOP 85-90. Will ofc get guildies and mates to text/ring me up to get me back ingame if theres some competition getting close to 85. As I don't have access to the Beta my weakness is going to be the unknown of the expansion I have to play offensively in as possible at the start to gain the upper hand. While 1-58 I can quest through very quickly as well as 68-80 also very fast, I feel my levelling speed is weakest in Outlands 58-68 and Twilight Highlands at 84-85. 1-20 I think I'll have to quest and use a boostie to fly me around, even without the flying I can level through this in an just over 90 minutes.


Cheers everyone for the replies keep the input coming, if we could just for now assume that RAF is going to not be a possibility, then if it is that will be the best way to level and if its not I have a plan B.
