unless he plays a race other than Panda for Monk, only Panda Monks have to go through the starting area. If he wanted an almost insta 80 Monk, he could make his Monk the best race for monks ( Gnomes ) and lvl that one to lvl 3 in a few minutes!

REMEMBER to lvl the toon your going to grant lvls to to a few exp away from dinging, so when you grant your lvls they will be a quest, or a few kills away from 81

NOTE: JK about Gnomes being the best race.. they are for me though 8)
