When can a 5box hit OUtlands

[Poolboy]

Well, if you can stomach AoE grinding at all, I went to Hellfire at fresh 57, and just did the vultures until my eyes bled. There's a LOT of them in a tight spot, just waiting to be rounded up and blasted into tiny clumps of blood and feathers.

They drop HUGE money grey junk. Come with empty bags x5 toons, leave with bling bling.

I wound up running out of quests to do from WPL/EPL/Winterspring. I did every kill quest, and any quest where you deliver something or go and pick up one item. I skipped every collection quest, even if only 1 or 2 items needed to drop, I still skipped it.

At around 56 I finished every quest I wanted to do in those areas and found myself stuck. So I headed off to Silithus. That had about 4 quests for me to do. One of those was a collection quest that had you collecting 10 encrypted twlight texts. So I sucked it up and did it. I'm only 4 boxing, so I only needed 40

Needless to say it wasn't that bad, and the drop rate was pretty good. After finishing all the desirable quests in Silithus I was 70% into 57. So I headed to DM East and grinded that until 58. Only took one run before I dinged 58. Then promptly headed into outlands.

I plan on doing Outlands until 60, then going back to Old world and doing Strath/Scholo/DM for a while. I attempted Scholo @ lvl 59 last night with a few greens from the Outlands. I was burning the mobs down really easily, but since my pets are slightly retarded and I wasn't being careful, I wiped about 3 times. But I'm sure with more patience and being more careful, I can easily clear it.

By just getting about 4 pieces of outlands gear, my hunters went from 3700 hp @lvl 58, to 4900 @lvl59. My Attack Power almost doubled too.

I brought my girls to HFP at 55 but power leveled them in Ramparts with my Warrior until they hit 60. As soon as that happened we started questing...

I did *every* quest in each zone on them minus instances and they hit 70 about 1/3 of the way through the quests in Shadowmoon valley. If you go to outlands at 58 or 59 and start questing be prepared to do a little extra instancing along the way.

I had 2 batches of Mage + Shaman which I was power levelling with my 70 prot Pally.

Then I decided I want a 3rd shaman in my 4-box just 2 Sunday ago, he was lagging behind in xp.

When the 3rd shaman hit 55, I went to Hellfire. The xp was so-so.
I cleared Blood Furnace 2 times. and I got my 2x Mage + 2x Shaman all to 60, and my 3rd shaman was barely 56.

So I decided to go back to LBRS grind, and when I hit level 57.80%, I went back to clear Blood Furnace and cleared it 2 more times.
After I hit 58.5, I started doing Hellfire Quests.

After I completed the dreadful "Collect 12 Blood Boiling" on 3 shamans, I got him to 59.90 with a quest to turn in the Apothecary.

The upgrades are very nice, and I plan to just plow thru the quests that offer immediate upgrades. I think I will be honored in Thrallmar after I complete the 2 instance quests. I then plan to grind Zangarmarsh and Coilfang instance until honored.

Then Terrokar and Auch for Lower City reps until level 65 and honored.

As many have already said, wait until 58. Once you hit the outlands and plow through some quests, you'll be 60 in no time (I did 58 to 60 in one night). After that, things slow down significantly.... but the gear in Outlands is amazing.

With the new quest xp changes I think its very valuable to do all of the quests in Silithus. The zone is empty, not particularly large, and should be worth at least a full level in quest exp.

I did a few of the quests there, but I have to be honest... there are a LOT of collection quests in that zone. It is a major pain in the butt... especially since 2 major collection quests open up a large chain of quests.

Yea I guess that is true. I need to change my thinking to compensate for feeding 5 children instead of just two. :whistling:

[balrog78]

Shouldnt it be possible to do Hellfire ramparts at level 58, maybe only some parts of it? That way you can grind reputation before doing the quests. Or is it too hard?

[Poolboy]

Sure, at 58 if your group has CC to manage the multi-pulls you could easily clear 1st boss, but I'd guess you'll stall after that. The group of 5 that fear on the top of the stairwell are a $%@#*!**#. At 63 currently I always seem to have someone die. But then, I pull too fast and I get impatient lol.
