There was a blue post about that yesterday somewhere. Basically stating that you shouldn't expect to see this last much longer and might want to not do it at all.

Did some testing on this, my party consisted of 1 70 Mage, 1 10 Mage, 1 10 Pally and 1 16 Priest. Running deadmines, 1 run takes 20 minutes, including time to get back to the entrance.

mage and pally: 4943 xp /run -> ~12000 xp/ hour (accounting for unforeseen problems)
priest: 8989 xp /run -> ~25000 xp / hour

Kind of weird that the higher level priest gets more xp/hr :s.

The closer the toon is to the level of the mob, the better the XP, which is why the Priest is getting more XP at level 16, then your level 10 toons.

I went to Deadmines 10-15, and at 15 went to Stockades. Now I'm thinking, I should've kept on at Deadmines...

I only pointed this out because Blizzard has gone to such extents to prevent powerleveling of any kind. I figured they would eventually get around to plugging this hole. It's a shame I won't get to use it; to those who have been able to, more power to you ^_^ I'm sure we'll find another way to level effeciently. If I had more energy and could pull myself away from W&W (work & wow), I would modify some of the existing leveling guides, sans gathering quests, plus good mob grind filling locations to make for a multiboxer's shortest leveling path.

[Assuming you're using QuestHelper] I've found one way that helps is to just blindly accept all quests on main + clones, set QuestHelper to solo mode (/qh solo), then when QH directs you to gathering quest, right click and ignore that one. Then you can track only non-collection quests. Maybe at the end of a zone's questlines you'll want to clear out your quest log of existing collection quests. I use this method because I can't stand seeing yellow "!" over NPCs heads ><;; I don't want to trouble myself with double-checking them to see if new [non-collection] quests are available, so this seems to work for me. Maybe a little OCD... Either way QuestHelper is one of the most elegantly written and useful WoW plugins to date; I highly suggest you check it out if you aren't using it already.

What was the subject again?!

Defense- You can use the same method as above for defense OR if you have a toon with a non damaging offensive abitlity such as Demo shout, Arcane torrent, Non- damagin curses, Stoneclaw totem, etc... you can gather up a bunch of lvl 1 critters, make them aggro you and then just go AFK for awhile while your Defense gets boosted. On alliance side a popular place to use this method is the IF side of the tram as there is a ton of rats you can do this with. Not sure about horde side...

The alternative to this if you also need weapon skill is those dudes that dont die in Blasted lands...If you are 70, a heal every 5 mins will keep you up.
