True about the gear. I had been worrying about gear for the alt went I was 2boxing toons at the same level.

I figured that below 40 there are enough quest in different zones that I can world hope zones doing all of the quest in each zone of the appropriate level and not have to worry too much about the huge XP loss from the using the 70 to kill mobs. After 40 though when the quest start to get thin, that would be another issue.

Another thing I figure is that even though I am only getting around 11xp per kill I am flying though heavy mobbed areas doing mass killings that are quickly adding up. Sure it may take 15 kills to equal the XP of a single kill, but going through the Furblogs in Ashenvale for example where you can hardly move without stepping on a mob it is easy to one-shot 25 mobs within a minutes time before going OOM or running out of mobs.

I have also been thinking about towing the alt along with me as I farm in the Outlands. Of course I will have to use caution not to get into areas where there are groups of mobs that I can't aggro before the alt level aggros.

I think tonight I am going to start a test. I am going to start with 2 level 1 alts, the first I will group with my 70 and allow the 70 to one-shot and the other I will not group with my 70 but instead just have the /follow and be a buff/heal bot and only attack when elites are involved. I will keep track of the /played and see at say level 20 what each is.

I figured that if I don't spend time traveling to a trainer on the one that alt that will be grouped and have the 70, nor will I worry about anything but keeping them alive that I will save a good deal of time.
