Best (and safe, non-bannable) way to boost two mages using three 60 mages?

[Apatheist]

Instance XP is shit when I tested level 14 mage in deadlines with 4x level 30s clearing. The 4th mage I’m trying to catch up gets like 4xp a kill even when doing AE damage. ������

Mob XP is based on the average level of the party.

30+30+30+30+14/5=26.8. The dungeon is calculating your average party level at 27 and you're killing level 17-20 mobs.

With 4x level 14's and one level 60 your average party level would be 23 which would yield much higher XP.

Also, deadmines isn't the best dungeon for boosting since many of the mobs in the first rooms aren't elite. You're better off moving to stockades at 15. You can pull the entire dungeon with a decently geared paladin or mage.

The video linked in the Power Leveling thread also denoted this average level calculation and it should be really useful for Power Leveling 4 alts. I would think a level 60 Paladin Tank AoEing (or a Mage) in the Stockades and Scarlet Monastery would be really good XP.

Frankly it is almost like the developers specifically lowered the minimum level for entry into some Dungeons to allow 4 alts to group with a 5th Power Leveler for a decent overall level for good XP...

For example, according to the Minimum Levels for entry on the Levels Tab of the Classic WoW Planning Spreadsheet you could take your 4 alts with a level 60 as follows:

- Stockades: Take 4 Level 15s with a level 60 Power Leveler = Average Level 24 (should be great XP);
- Monastery: Take 4 Level 21s with a level 60 Power Leveler = Average Level 29 (should be great XP);

edit: I will likely also post this info to the Power Leveling summary thread to call this out more...
