Multi Box leveling :[

i do every quest i can get my hands on in a zone.... of course i'm trying to get up enough rep for SW so that i can get a pony instead of an elephant. Just remember... the more mobs you kill the more exp, the more mobs you kill also more of a chance to get loot. So if you have the time and the patience... why not? But like mentioned above its not for everyone. if you are trying to just rush through lvling then sure skip them, but if you are just out to have a good time and get some loot along the way. Kill it all!

Note that some collection quests are items you can pick up on your main & pass out -- sadly that's not most of them, but there are a few in zangarmarsh for example (bog lord tendrils etc).

But in general I skip collections as well, they're tedious at the best of times.

After killing boars for what seemed like HOURS for Boar meat for Billy, I vowed to never do collection quests, other than to make up for a char that is slightly behind. It's not worth it IMO when you can just do an instance by yourself. Plus you get nice loot from the instance, and experience in how you control all 5 in a dungeon.

I've got 4-boxes. Up to level 28 I was doing questing, but the levels were coming in so slowly (3 hours per level roughly), and the collection quests so unbelievably annoying that I switched to using my 70 hunter to run the 3 28's through instances at high speed for xp. Only looting after the final boss is dead. They are now pulling in about one level per hour, and are currently level 35/36 by runs through SM Cathedral. Granted, the fourth account isn't leveling any more, but that account already has my 70 hunter on it, so no biggie.

In the past I've found it faster to level an alt on a second account by just instance runs as well. Those were always just on /follow though. Now accounts 2-4 are actually kicking off instant spells to help the main, so the overall DPS is being helped out.

I have avoided collection quests for the most part. As others have stated, sometimes they are necessary for the completion of a chain. Overall I have found that kill/escort quests + clearing entire regions of "orange to you" mobs is enough. I'm starting my first run of Deadmines this afternoon for my 5-man team and expect to spend a lot of time in instances...
