Duo box vs 5-man box

[method98]

That is correct. Last Thursday I made 4x mage disc and atm I am lv 53 ( last 2 days been chill mode). That should tell you the speed of leveling using that setup (5 days 4 hours played or similiar atm).

Nothing trumps this setup apart perhaps paladin/3xmage/disc. Also, I'd recommend grinding last 8 levels in dugeons and leaving quests for completion upon reaching 60 so you can get massive gold. 1 quest usually gives you 15g-20g but I've had one quest where i got 70g (with item rewards as well). So you can see how lucrative that can be.

Yes after reading alot on this forum this seems to be the case. How does it actually work to make 5 accounts, do I have to keep track of 5 diffrent emails or can i create 5 subscriptions within my main account? Also, for classic you just pay subtime so its like 5*$12 + isboxer?

Essentially yes. You have both options (1 account with multiple accounts or 5 emails/accounts each with it's own subscription). Personally I like the latter (I have 5 kids & a wife so I like the separate logins).

Supposedly Blizzard is going to re-open the Recruit-A-Friend program Soon(TM) but even though they announced it on 9/10/19 and it was in the Patch Notes it hasn't gone live yet for some reason. I likely will wait on it before maybe reactivating my 6-10 accounts but I am not sure I would wait for it for your 1st 5 though it is something to be aware of:

Well RaF wont come to classic and I'm only concerned about classic. There's no reason to farm gold in retail. But if I enjoy multiboxing maybe it would be fun to try on retail one day

The bonus subscription time, which can be significant, affects both Classic & Retail.

Ah, I plan on just buying 1 month sub then dropping the mages and keeping the priest along with one mage I used on my main. I would only use the other mages to get to 60

There's no exp penalty for a group of 2, and speed runners have said that duoing is faster than soloing (with the right class combo). Duo questing is faster by a few days if you follow a speedrun guide like Joana's. The issue with duoing is scheduling playtime. Multiboxers do not have that problem.

The fastest to cap record is a solo mage AoE farming... Otherwise I think Hunters are one of the fastest solo and both a Hunter and Druid get extra movement speed from level 20 on (outdoors only on the Druid). A duo Hunter+Druid mainly questing outdoors should be pretty fast to cap.
