alternative power leveling method

[zenga]

Understanding this a little more now from reading. I am thinking this would also be a great fast way to get RAF characters from 81 - 85. From what you are saying in this thread, leveling cooking from 1 - 525 is currently painless? Correct?

Leveling cooking from 0 to 525 took like 15 maybe 20 minutes (and hardly no gold). And easy to do on all your toons at the same time. Talk to that trainer, learn recipe, buy the mats from the same trainer, then cook an item that gives you 5 points. Incrediblly fast.

Wait, it was 10 hours per character from 85-90 with cooking? So 50 hours for a 5-box team? And 5x the gold I guess?

I lvl'd 3 toons simultaneously, within approximately a 10h timeframe. I say 10h timeframe cause I watched the last season of the wire meanwhile, which is 10 episodes long.

There are better ways if you want to get a single toon. There are several mob tagging areas, one in kunlai that'll get you a level an hour almost if you have a boxer friend (or your own 90 toons) to burn the mobs.

Then again.... 10 hours just cooking stuff and using macros, not having to deal with mobs or quests? Actually may be a great alternative.

It's definitely not the most efficient/fastest way, but it can be a good alternative if you are tired of aoe killing/questing. And depending on your server economy you can make a buck or two.
