Use shodokan's grinding method. First 2 mins of stormstout brewery, you kill 40 mobs for about 200k xp, takes about 2 mins, run out, reset. Gets very decent xp. Yes it is a grind.

I 5 boxxed All of Jade Forest and got the achv, then only did half of valley, none of karasang wilds, all of kun-lai and half of Townlong steppes and I was 90.

10 people in IoC i the 85-89 bracket is no problem AT ALL. I would say a full 1/3 of each team is made up of bots (seperate question, has anyone else noticed there are way better botting programs out there now? The bots actually travel round in packs and spam abilities, you can actually die to them).

Are you Ally, if so, IoC is docks, glaives, boss, win, xp, repeat.

If you were using this to level, wouldn't you reach the instance lockout, five resets in an hour?
Or can you just leave, disband the group, reform and it has reset?

I'd say they are actually all using the same and most popular bot out there, which is why they travel in packs and spam attacks as one. Botting is a huge issue in leveling bgs atm.

No lockout with the dungeon finder. Leave instance group, leave regular group then reform and queue

Good god the quests in Townlong Steps (88-89)... I just don't know how to convey how ball-sucking bad they are. Collect 20... yep, followed by collect 10 and a lot more collects. There is one collect that takes probably 30mins per character, but I just abandoned it after seeing how rare the stuff was (something willow). But that's not the most rage inducing: at Farwatch Overlook south of Rensai's Watchpost there is a group of insects bombing Farwatch Marksmen. I went in there with 10 characters and the area is bombed based on the number of characters in the area. So the first time my guys got blown all over the map and died. You know how hard it is to res and collect your group while you're getting bombed? Best part was I would run far away and as soon as I got anywhere near it the bombs would start.

I finally figured out I could send in one character and get the credit for all of them as they stood out of bomb range. Fuck that quest, made me so GD mad.

This is off topic, but thought I'd share since it is funny.

The item you are referring to is Mao-Wilow . Māo (貓) is Mandarin for cat, making this pussy willow.

It all inspired me...to rage! And the Simpsons.

I actually completely boxed town long steps and found it no where near as bad as jade forest
