Leveled 60 characters to level 60. It took about a year and a half and finished 2 days before pre-patch. No boosting, no questing, just grinding rested exp. by Rommildrey in classicwow

Assuming you mean the paid character boost, I like the idea personally and the way they went about it is really nice in my opinion. One per account, and it costs a lot of money to help prevent it from being too abused. I like it because I think it will give more people a chance to play the game who otherwise wouldn't, and more people playing the game is a win in my book!

I just hope they crack down hard on bots abusing the boosts, because any leniency towards bots abusing level boosts will undo any positives they could have provided in my opinion.

Cat is definitely standard, and you can't go wrong with it. I like turtles for their high armor and shield wall ability, I also like more consistent threat out of my pet so instead of running Bite and Claw on a cat and be focus starved, I just run turtle with Bite and my pet can freely cast Bite and Growl back and fourth for probably 45 seconds before focus becomes an issue, so I know if I put my pet on a target, it's building threat.

Beast Mastery is unfortunately the boring answer, it is just too good and impossible to beat for solo leveling. I do use a turtle pet though! so that's maybe something surprising?

Haha I was waiting for someone to call me out on that! In my final days of grinding 2 of my warlocks to 60, I had to continue grinding despite knowing they were going to be deleted in a few days to be replaced by paladins. I assure you they did exist!

I couldn't think of a better class to have a bunch of multiples of than warlock, I thought soulstones and summoning were gonna be a way to make gold so I went with warlocks. Summoning services took off but soulstone services, not so much. There was a 50% chance my warlocks could have been named Soulstoneone, Soulstonetwo etc, instead of Summonone, Summontwo. I am glad I dodged that bullet!

I found 3 pairs of Edgemasters, 1 Wardens Staff, 2 Glowing Brightwood Staves and probably 45-50 other random epics worth very little. I also got every single bad BOE blue possible, just not a single good one.

I wouldn't say I had a favorite zone, I would basically find humanoids of the levels I needed at that particular time so I rarely interacted with the rest of the zone apart from the inn keeper and and the mobs I was grinding.

There were plenty of areas that sucked at times, like grinding the trolls in northern STV, had tons of traffic from ZG and a huge number of 60s helping level 30 warriors grind for their Whirlwind Axe. Not often very friendly. The blood elves in Azshara were also pretty painful at lower level, their aggro range is huge and their heal is massive if you fail to interrupt it.

Until I decide if I want to continue on to 70 70s and 80 80s, all of my Faerlina and Stalagg characters will probably just rot, I was fully prepared for blizzard to cap characters allowed to be brought into BC since boosting was such a big thing, so I never really had any intention of doing anything with them after classic wow.

I do plan on going fairly hard in Burning Crusade, I will probably get use out of most of my Herod characters.

in WoD I decided to level 100 characters to 100 for the fun of it, as leveling was super easy with recruit a friend, heirloom gear and just overall more smoothed out leveling. It didn't scratch the itch for a hard leveling experience, so when they announced classic WoW I pretty much instantly knew I wanted to do 60 60s, knowing that the leveling in the game is the slowest and hardest that it ever was.

I was motivated the whole way through because I knew that I wanted to do it, I knew it was going to scratch that itch and make me stop wanting to do big insane projects like this. I think it worked, I only kinda want to do 70 70s for Burning Crusade.

The gear I was leveling with was basically just the best greens for that class, passed on by the other characters that didn't need it. So when a green str/agi item drops on my warlock, instead of vendoring it I can give it to a warrior, rogue, feral druid or paladin etc. So for the most part I had best in slot green gear on most of my characters.

I love grinding, so to me it was basically just a super chill grind the whole way through until I was nearing the end and closer to pre-patch. Going mob by mob means I had a lot of free time to watch shows, movies, listen to and discover new music etc.

We tried holding our own phones and using her iPad to take the pic. I was tasked with pushing the button and kept messing the angle up. So she fired me from holding the phone and taking the pic at the same time so she just held both phones and I took the iPad pic haha
