What's the best way to powerlevel a team of 5?

[nodoze]

I've been debating the best way to go about this myself. I started classic three boxing. Priest + 2x Mage. I did three because I didn't think my computer would handle 5. Well, it appears it does, so now I'm trying to boost two more mages. I now have a 3 lock / 2 mage team, but I'm wondering if it would be faster to just pull the 2 lock / 2 mage team with a 60 rather than level three...

To some degree it depends on what level 60s you have to work with already.

For example Dynamur on the ISboxer Discord reported recently (3/20) getting 200K XP/hour 5box boosting other folk with his level 60 DMMMP team and has boosted multiple of his own characters (his own Mage, Warlock, and Warrior) with his level 60 MMMP 4man team. As discussed in the discord he has started as early as level 44 or so but typically recommends starting that at level 46+ or whenever the boosted character can reliably tag level 48+ mobs. To get to level 48 he either boosts him own alt and up to 3 other players with his level 60 Mage carrying 4 low level alts through dungeons (DM->Stocks->SM->etc)...

The above being said, it is hard to beat the simplicity & efficiency of just leveling up a 5man team of 4Mages+Priest from level 1 to cap in Dungeons (mainly avoiding bosses) and then you can use that team to help yourself elsewhere. If you already have a 60 mage you can also boost 3Mages+Priest but 4Mages+Priest from scratch is very solid...

To help you there are two guides linked in cyan/light blue on the 'Leveling' tab of the 'Classic WoW Planning' spreadsheet (the 2nd cyan link has a guide specifically for 4Mages+Priest). That tab also lists a recommended sequence of dungeons/instances to level by and the levels at which to start/stop each dungeon... You can copy it to your google drive if you want an editable version to track your own progress (the aStart and aStop fields were put there to track one's actual Start and actual stop for leveling a given dungeon). The link is for the Leveling tab is:
