The Boosting and Power Leveling summary thread

Has anyone a list for good spots from like 1 to 40?

Im trying to boost a lvl15 warrior with my pally mages team but i guess that wont be effective because of no aoe damage from the warrior
Perhaps the questing method could be better with just killing everything for the warrior to just finish the quests faster and move on. This way all can stay in 1 group

I'd either, just have the paladin follow the warrior around, buffing healing, while the warrior just grinds mobs as quickly as possible, or, follow the warrior with the entire team, and blow through quests. You could also just heal warrior with paladin while questing too.

I have a hunch, that grinding would be faster, because you're going to get basically zero kill XP if you do the quest/kill mobs with your high levels method.

I would try the 'HyperSpawns tab' of the Classic WoW Planning spreadsheet.

If you find a gap in there and/or don't like a given spot for a given range then I would try the locations denoted for 'Cloth Farming' on the 'ToDo Tab'.

I found that the more damage you do to the mob with the lowbie, the more exp it gets. But, if you just tap it once and the high levels kill it, you get just a few points. I am doing a whole team, until they get high enough to run dungons on their own. Once they reach that magic tapping level ( so they can damage lvl48 mobs ), ill test 10 box tapping. using two separate groups.. one aoe tapping.. other finishing mobs off. If that is faster exp than just having them do dungons on their own, Ill do that until they are high 50s and can enter LBRS.

Not sure if this was mentioned for method 1. 1 lvl60+4alts is best exp..if you lose one alt or add another 60..the exp goes down.. i started with a 60 mage and 4 lowbies in DM..i was getting 44exp per kill on the alts. i later tied 60 mage and 60 priest and 3 alts.( alts were only 13 at the time ) they now only got 22 exp per kill with 2 60s in group.

Also, my 60 mage is a fresh 60..mostly gear obtained in 40+ dungons..takes a lot of damage even in DM. a lot of the BiS items have no stam..should i do a full eagle set for PLing.. unless i have a better +stam already? also, should i respec for ice/arcane? Seems like the higher level the dungon.. i might want to keep the mobs at bay a bit hehe.

Do we have any feel for how much faster it is boosting a 4 man team with a level 60 character compared to a complete lowbie team?
I recently rolled a new team on a server where I have a 60 mage and can't decide on whether I should roll a complete team or just go with four plus the max level character. The gains need to be rather large for it to be worth leaving out a fifth character.

Any ideas?

I'm in a similar position to Battleshrimp, I'm going to try out multiboxing for the first time and I've got a 60 shaman and mage on the server I intend to roll the extra accounts on. End game comp of 4 warriors with my shaman main. I don't know if I should level a duplicate shaman with the warriors, or boost them with the mage until it makes sense to swap the mage for my shaman and kill with the warriors (somewhere around level 45-50 I would imagine). Has anyone tried approach 1 for any length of time?

Its hard for me to keep track of exact times.. my a.d.d gets the best of me and i get distracted way too much lol. With that said, i was getting what seemed to be 3/4 of a level per run from 12 to 20 yesterday ..clearing the entire zone. I was also looting everything for cloth. If you just go in.. kill and leave, you might shave 10 mins a run or so. It was taking me 20-30 mins, depending how often i got distracted hehe.

I am leveling one paly separate until the paly and other 4 are all 20+.. then ill do some stuff with the 5 the normal way and mix it up between PLing and running dungeons normal. I'm guessing ill PL through dungons when the mobs are red con until the mobs turn green, then ill run the new team normal when i can mass pull without a high level in the group.

Interesting video on power leveling though a lot of it is kinda filler and thus it could be significantly shorter:

Assertion that XP is based on the average level of the party with no deduction based on having 1 level 60 in the party hitting gray mobs.

It denotes the following as the top ranked single level 60s to carry 4 low level alts:
Mage
Paladin
Warrior

Curious why a level 60 Warlock with hell fire or rain of fire & eye of killrog wouldn't also be good and if so where it should go in the ranking...

Warrior is not great. You need to be mega geared to make a warrior good. Druid and Warlock are definitely better.

The following is a Tank Paladin solo pulling pretty much an entire instance with self-healing and AoE'ing everything down:

That should be a lot of XP for 4 alts.
