Boost or Quest in 5.0

[JohnGabriel]

Yea, Are you going any certain way John. Alot of people are saying questing or something and some guy even said it takes 12 hours to get from 1-80 while boosting.

I have been boosting, its just getting boring after so many teams. I am about to start 10-boxing so have been making as much use of RaF as I can. As soon as this RaF expires I am starting another, still 3 more accounts to go.

I believe it is possible in 12 hours, but mine usually take longer. Not sure what it is post-patch, but if it was 12 before it would be less now. I cant remember what my /played time was, its in one of my posts someplace. I think I was 18 hours.

As I understand it a system called tag-boosting is universally acknowledged to be the fastest way. You can search this forum for more information.

Ps - sorry couldn't resist.

Personally I don't really like too much boosting, LFD or questing, so I'll be doing all three on my new Monk team. I actually don't mind levelling that much, gives me an opportunity to revisit old content. Some level ranges really suck though, particularly around 42.

I am thinking of trying to boost with my 85 397i Level hunter I ran 60-70 instances in about 10 mins flat spamming multishot and my tank pet finish them off..But havent tried it with a lower toon on follow, hoping if they aggro my pet will get the mob before they die

There area areas in every instance you can park your toons to get exp in a range other than UK (because of all the weirdness in the layout)

For 70+ instances I just follow the lowbies one room behind, one because I don't know the exact xp distance and it's tricky to reliably pull all of UP or something at the same time, and two so the lowbies can do the quests. The quests + one pull is 1-1.5 levels. I just do them all in that level range rather than the 10-80 method which is one dungeon per 10-20 levels.

It's something like UK, Nexus, DTK, GD, VH, HoS, HoL, UP. A couple UK repeats to get them over 70 and a couple extra UP or HoL to finish to 80. It was really quite smooth last time I did it.

The way I do it

UK 68-70
Nexus 70-72
DTK 72-73
GD 73-75
Amphitheater of Anguish 75-76
HoL 76-80

Oh yeah, forgot about AoA, I think I did that last time also.
I also like to do VH, its another free level or level and a half and it's pitifully easy. The only annoying part is waiting between bosses and trash packs.

Oh yeah, another note, I know we don't have HGWT anymore, but level 85s can now use summoning stones to grab lowbies. Then you can have lowbies grab their friends, or however you wanna do it. That or some strategically placed warlocks. Honestly it shouldn't cost you more than an hour or so - last time I used a mage and druid (booster) for quick travel and summoning.

I find if you park toons on the top of the Cathedral of Darkness in Northrend (Icecrown), you can boost any level toons (with RAF of course) pretty fast with a lvl 83-85. Just run in, grab all the cultist's on the left, burn them down, then grab the ones on the right, and burn them down. By then, the ones on the left have respawned.

This also generates a lot of Cloth, and Northrend Greens. I do this from 70-75 in a few hours, then hit AoA, then that dragon one IN Dalaran a few times. By then, I'm 80 and good to go.

Kind of off topic, but do we know if RAF will expand to 85 when MOP launches?
