Oyayu

My Warlock and Priest combo reached level 59 last night, so I decided it was time to boost the paladin.

I created the Paladin and Shaman combo and boosted them to level 30 using the following method:

1 - 8: Intro quests

8 - 15: Ragefire Chasm.

15 - 23: Shadowfang Keep. I have virtually perfected the boosting in here now, I may well make a video on how to Paladin-boost this place in a couple of pulls for excellent exp/hour.

23 - 30: SM Library.

I kept on going until I was a couple of bars from 31, and then granted levels from my Priest to my Paladin. Once I completed the Dark Portal introduction quests I had dinged 59. The screenshot of my played time upon ding is included below.

Once these 3 are level 60, I may well start on my Mage (currently been relegated to being my bank) and the Shaman I used to boost my Paladin. That would give me every class at 60… Interesting decisions to be made once WotLK comes along then, do I carry on levelling something that I already have at 70, or pick another class to push through the outlands content double quick and start with? Hard to say right now.

With the recent changes to the refer-a-friend system in WoW, you’ve now got quite an incentive to give this a whirl. You basically get given triple experience from all sources, including quest hand-ins. Not bad.

I’ve been levelling a Priest and Warlock together, primarily through boosting in instances to this point, though I think now it’s time to switch to questing for experience. Below is a basic instance boosting guide to maximise your experience. Keep in mind that I was using a level 70 Rogue or a level 70 Paladin to do the boosting, depending on which instance I was doing, I have put which class I was using in brackets.

Level 1 - 10: Manual questing or grinding.

Level 10 - 15: Ragefire Chasm (Rogue)

Level 15 - 17: Wailing Caverns (Rogue) - Grab the quests for here for a massive exp boost.

Level 17 - 25: Shadowfang Keep (Rogue) - Pick up the quest in UC on your way, and pickup the two at 18.

Level 25 - 40: Scarlet Monestry (Rogue) - Start off in Library or Armory, depending on the class, you may as well pick up some loot while you’re here. Once you get 33 go to UC and pick up the quest, then do Library, Armory, and finally Cathedral. Now repeat Cathedral until you reach 40.

Level 40 - 50: Blackrock Depths (Paladin) - Pull the first room in 2 pulls, then go down the left hand tunnel to Roccor, clear to Roccor in 2 pulls, kill Roccor. Head out. Reset. Repeat. That should take you about 12 minutes per run depending on the gear level of your paladin.

It would probably be a good time to give up boosting here and switch to proper levelling, however if I was to continue I would go with:

Level 50 - 55: I’d probably go with the Paladin to Strat living.

Level 55 - 60: Head to Ramparts, would certainly be advisable to take a healer or two with you here along with the Paladin.

I am currently 44, and have given up on instance boosting in favor of questing for experience for a while, I’ve just done 25 levels in 2 days, so a change is more than welcome. Good luck to all you multi-boxers!
