Multi Box leveling :[

[lolzaz]

so, i have leveled 5 70s in the past singly.
and i have duel box leveled 2 warlocks to 60.
on the warlocks i figured hey its only 2 i might as well just take x2 the time on these quests (Collecting).
but now im 3 boxing. (Mages)
and its becoming too tedious for me.

my question to u fellow multi boxers.
did u skip collection quests.
do them.
grind.
instance.
or something else magical of the sort >_>.

its bugging me. tell me your thoughts. and knowledge i so desperately need to hear.

Skip collection quests.
Do transport/kill quests.
Boost/run through instances for good xp and loot.

I skip them unless they are part of a quest chain I need or want

The quest exp rewards are so much better now post 20 I just don't bother with anything that is a collection quest that does not have a reward I want or is part of a chain I need. Do yourself a favor don't be afraid to do every kill quest they are the opposite of collection quests for MB'ers as they have better returns for us, In your case three times the exp for three times easier work. then just move onto a new area and do all there kill quests then go to an instance if you feel you missed out on exp. Variety is the spice of life and all that. I only do escort quests on Pve serverrs, on pvp you are just asking for grief.

One kind of collection quest I do do, are instance ones, they keep the tedious nature of instances productive for a bit.

The only time I take collection quests is when one of my toons is falling behind on xp, for example, deaths or when my 4 shamans need to do shaman quests my pally falls behind. I will do collection quests with only that toon, along w/kill quests, until they are all caught up.

And BTW, once you get your flight paths, going from zone to zone to do just kill quests takes little time and is well worth it.

I only dual box, but I do all quests -collection included. I figure, I'm loosing a little xp for having a second toon along, so I make up for it with these quests that I kinda refer to as "grinding quests".

I do some collection quests. I have two 70s I leveled questing (individually) so I sort of know which gathering quests take a long time. But generally, if they ask me to gather more than 5 I skip. Exceptions both way if I remember droprate being particularly good or bad.

For my 5x Shamans, I'm now up to 56, I did:
1-20 Questing in Draenei starting area (did most drop quests)
20-40 Boosted through SM Cath Ad Nauseum
40+ Have been questing (avoiding 5+ gather quests), and doing instances by myself (not boosted). So far I've completed ZF, Ulda, and at least attempted ST, BRD

I do the collection quests if the drop rate is good, say 70%. As a pally + aoe team rounding up mobs and blasting them is trivial so why not.

I do the collection quests if the drop rate is good, say 70%.

and because u (thread starter) leveled so many chars, i bet u know wich quests take more time, and wich dont.
my approach is powerleveling (70 booster) till 50, and past 50 just do quests with ur guys, alone.
To me the hardest is 50 to 58, and when i reach 58, i open a bottle of champagne and enter outlands! yesterday i done that, and im having a blast doing ALL quests! The joy of gearing up, and make more and more damage, is the best

instances/instance quests more than make up for collection quests.
