fastest level 50-60?

[jak3676]

I'm leveling a new priest (now solo) and I have to say that multiboxing your own 5-man group >>> getting boosted by someone else.

I started her in a 5-man group with a bunch of locks, but mostly abandoned the locks once they all got summoning, so now I'm leveling my priest solo and regretting it. I never really learned the SM or Mara 1-pull strats myself, so I figured I'd just buy a bunch of boosts. I've found buying boosts in SFK, SM and now Mara is at best equal to the exp/hour that I was getting when multiboxing up my own 5-man team - except now I'm dependent on finding someone else who knows what they're doing and is available at the same time that I am. And even then I'm now paying for runs instead of earning bank on my runs.

When I just use use her solo to heal dungeon runs it seems most people aren't actually there for the exp, they just want to skip to the end boss for loot. It's great if you can find a melee or spell-cleave farming group, but someone always leaves after 2-3 runs, then you spend 10 min recruiting a replacement. If you just go with a normal group they skip 1/2 the mobs in the dungeon. So frustrating.
