what about 2 man flyers thought they worked.

[hendrata]

The exploration experience is scaled, so no you're not going to ding from 1 to 4. The 2 man flyer works perfectly well, but if you can't get in the instance then it's useless.

Btw, I just tried this last night: having a level 90 mage plus level 6 warlock in Pandaria.
Grouped together, the mob gave puny experience, something like 6xp per mob, which is even less than what the warlock would get killing level 6 mob on his own.
Not grouped, (warlock tags, mage kills), the warlock doesn't get any xp. I think it's largely based on the damage that the warlock inflicts on the mob, which, at level 6, against level 88 mob, that's like almost zero.

If you don't have RAF, the easiest way is for the lowbie to tag mobs 4 - 5 levels above him, and have the high level toon, NOT GROUPED, finish them off. In this case, I have the mage on follow, and once in a while I cast arcane explosion. The health recovery rate at level 6 is incredibly fast that I would go from almost dead to full health in a couple seconds.

Once the warlock hits level 10, I started doing deadmines, which, unrested, gives me about half a level per run, and that run takes about 2-3 minutes. Have mage in the front and warlock following. Just spam AE all the way and ice lancing the birds who fly too high. Don't even stop for loot. The painful thing about deadmines is that the entrance is kinda hard to get into and you can't mount to it. Now that my warlock is level 11, I'm going to take him to SFK and start boosting there.

So in short, the AOE grinding boosting method only works if the lowbie is not TOO low level.

I thought they removed the level restrictions on summoning stones a while back?

Yep. The only restriction is that you must be level 15 or higher.

I think it was about 2 months ago that I tried to summon a lowbie alt to the black temple summoning stone, and it said it was too low level. I forgot the actual level the alt had back then (in 20 or 30 range), so I actually had to get my warlock there to summon him.

Ok well i tried the dooker dome and got ganked about 6 times.

Then i went to icecrown which was amazing on the respawns (Where all the contenders were)...lots of frostweave, about 15 stacks in an hour + 50g per toon and 300 for the main in selling crap.

XP was still horible...almost exactly half of what you get running a dungeon per mob 148 in dungeon and 67 on mobs.

Went into org instance and leveled way faster...this is with a 90 in group fyi.

Instance grinding is still the way to go....i think the quests are what are the massive boost tbh

If the mobs are too high it takes to long. My pally on the other hand leveled fast (84) at the dooker dome...whole level in almost an hour.





This game....it rots my mind. 5.4 is coming out soon...so you can get full tyr from doing dungeons...might be something to think about.

The mob must NOT be gray to the tagger! Group the level 90 tagger with the lowbie and kill a mob that is not gray to the tagger and the lowbie will get enough exp so its like 1000 to 1500 kills per level. That's why tag boosting requires out of group helpers to kill mobs faster because you cannot kill super low mobs and get decent exp on the lowbie, as you have found out.

There is a MINIMUM level restriction on the summoning stone, which makes sense. If your lowbie is too low level it wouldn't be able to enter the instance anyway. There used to be a MAXIMUM level restriction but that got removed, but it's pointless because your main is usually a lot more mobile to begin with. Right now the way to get everyone to instance entrance is using 2 seater flying mount with main + 1 lowbie, then use summoning stone to summon the other lowbies.

I just tried this as well: a geared level 90 grouping with level 67, running UK 5 times, got him to level 70. I just went through spamming aoes. The first run through, make sure he picks up the quests and loot the bosses for quest items. I don't loot anything else, they just slow me down. Got 5 instance completed within 45 mins, then ran into instance requirement. I think 2.5 levels for 45 mins is not a bad deal. At level 70, Azjol Nerub opened, which I haven't decided if it'd be faster than UK or not, especially since old kingdom is there as the next step.

if there is a high level on the account with the RaF toon being boosted you can fly him to the dungeon and use the summon friend feature.

[Kruschpakx4]

just curious if I want to level my 4 blood dks (85-90) is it fast to nonestop run random dungeon with a 5th dps? a friend wants to level his ret pally with me and I'm not sure if thats the best method
