Can't wait to get everything together and start dping this. Special thanks to bugilt for opening my eyes too the fact that you can multibox on one monitor.

I have a level 70 warrior that I think i will use to boost 4 four shamans I have on trial accounts right now (shatwo,shathree,shafour,shafive) shaone is on my warriors account. I am not sure if i will move my warrior to another toon and then run shaone with 3 others through sm. I really want to endup 5 boxing shamen. And also want to get to the outlands ASAP.

Is shaone 70 already?

[Schwarz]

No. I started all five and messed around with it for 10 days on my laptop. It was extremely fun but the lag was making it horrible. So hopefully this new setup works better.

Do I?

1) Power Level 4 shamens with my level 70 warrior to 50ish. Then transfer my warrior to another account and use him to level the 5th shamen along with 3 other toons (I was thinking 1 Pally 2 mages or warlocks).

2) Level all 5 shamen together

Honestly I'd say you have a HIGH chance of burnout on this if you try and powerlevel them... play them as a 5 box, you'll level fast enough once you hit 20th doing quests with the reduced xp per level and increased quest xp.

[Schwarz]

They are all at level 17 so I guess that isn't too far away. I guess I need to find a powerleveling guide. I tried using Jamies horde guide for the outlands but it was confusing starting in the middle of a section with certain quests done and other quests not done. Any other suggestions on leveling guides other than the ones on wowpro.com?

[Djarid]

levelling guides aren't great for MB. get questhelper, cartographer and lightheaded addons on all your toons

also get to know www.wowhead.com and search on quests in your region.

I tend to query on items I want to get, find the quests for them, then get the start quest in that chain. with QH and cartographer installed doing the quests is an absolute doddle LH will give you hints on completion.

A suggestion, I started out with a similiar setup..

Boost 3 of your shammies to 50 or so in instances using your main, transfer to one of the accounts you just boosted then you can level the other 2 shammies to the same level. With a group of 5 level 50 shammies you can finish leveling extremely easy. Playing almost every day this would take me 3 weeks to have 5 fresh level 70s.

At least I didn't have to use toothpicks this time.

How many hours a day are you assuming? I've done 2 70's, but I honestly cant remember the real-time committment that it took.

Why not do it with 4 other shaman intially? I don't think I could hand level them any faster than boosting them through SM and maybe a little bit in ZF. I think once I make it to the outlands then everything will be cheddar.

Here is another question how much gold should I try to get together for 5 toons? I know it is going to be ~4k for everyones epic riding mounts.
