[WoW] Dual-Boxing Powerleveling Class Guide

[immortal]

Hey,

Aspiring multiboxer here. I was looking at the original post and have some questions on the whole 'carebear' method for some people who use it. I don't plan on doing multiple characters from level one right (such as x5 shamans, etc.) but I have a druid that I would like to powerlevel through quests with my 70 paladin that is on a different account. I figure stuff like Consecration, etc. for grind quests will help greatly.

Seeing as how in 2.3 the XP changes to leveling were changed for the better, how well does running a 70 and a lowbie through quests work? Is it okay to group them considering XP will probably be nerfed a bit per kill either grouped or not?

Thanks.

Hrm - this may have been changed in more recent patches but to easily get a few levels on a new character you used be able to:

Return silithus dust to the converter - requires a high level chaperone to keep all the bugs off you.
'Tag' three ridiculously high level mobs for your char (i.e. a level 5 tagging three lvl 15's). Have an un-grouped paladin with retribution aura turned on taunt the mobs off you but now no 'active' damage. Used to be that since the damage was reactive rather then active that the exp penalty wasn't applied.
Avoid un-necessary collection quests and cycle from zone to zone. By this I mean do ALL of the quests in the starter area until you get to level 10 - this should exhaust most of the quests in that start region so go to the end of another races starting area - once again avoid collections quest unless they're part of a chain that's worthwhile. Personal experience of this had me levelling about 15-20% faster - then again I had a warlock ready each time to summon the low level char to the next 'quest rich' area.

Not adding anything to the discussion here but for the record, I've been running my team through instances with a 70 rogue since level 8. No tricks, just group up, clear, reset and redo.

I did RFC from 8 until 10 and SFK from 10-18. I consistently got two levels per three runs through to about level 16 but it seems to be slowing up now.

As I've now done the SFK quests and I've farmed all the gear I can, I was going to move to RFK for a couple of levels before hitting SM but as I'm only two SFK runs off 20, I'll stay where I am because the time it takes to get from SFK to RFK and back is about as long as it would take me to run the instances.

I recently started a lock/paly team and basically atm (lvl 17), I pulled with corruption, then immulate, tag imp onto target then switch to new target, repeat. I put paly on follow with defensive aura and is just there to support/heal. Works pretty well so far. Not sure about high lvl areas but i'm liking it.

So after reading this thread and finding out the full XP method inolving an Ungrouped high lvl Lock bpet to kill mobs I was wondering.

Where would I take my 5 lvl 20 shamans to grind this way with My lock? Instances are out obviously because The Lock is not in the group, plus My party would be full anyway I have 5 lowbies.

Is there an Area anyone could let me know of that would be a good spot to Grind at? I was thinking something like the area outside of ZF with all those elite trolls. Only lower lvls :S

Hello everyone. First post here, but I did search around for an answer before posting so hopefully I didn't miss something.

I'm wondering about the viability of a moonkin druid 2-3 box. I'm just looking to add a bit of excitement to the leveling process, or possibly a full 5 (4 moonkins and a resto) for PvP. They would seem to have high mobility, healing, and pack quite a punch with machinegun moonfires, and multiple cyclones and roots.

I've not done a huge amount of macroing in wow, but it seems as though you could make it so that in pvp, the 4 followers would cyclone everyone but the main focus for incredible CC, then moonfire the main target at will, using a cast sequence.

Thanks in advance for your input. Looking forward to the responses.

ahhhh .......Everquest...East Commonlands.....those were the days. when you could take your lvl 5 Druid get a Hand of Virtue and a C3 cast on you and you could own the entire zone for like 2 hours.....

That was loads of fun

Druids were sick for powerleveling in EQ. Hit your lowbie with every buff you can, including high level damage shield and high level regen, and send him in to slaughter stuff. So long as he could do a single point of damage to a mob, he got the exp for it. You could hit all of the spots where there were good experience bonuses (EQ is not like WoW, in that every level X mob gives Y exp) and level extremely fast (comparatively so, anyway).

There were some zones where a character could level in just 5 or 6 kills. Of course, later levels made up for this big time. :P

Any specific reason as to why you say avoid Hunter & Rogue. I'd imagine that it'd be quite quick, no?

Very nice guide for someone new to multiboxing in WOW. I used to do multibox in EQ all the time. One quick question though. Is it easier if using the Keyclone program to make both chars. the same class? Like two mages, two druids, two hunters,...etc...?
