[Leveling] 88-90 by doing dungeons solo - 6.0.2

[Vaedar]

Give a try to Forge of Souls, it was really fast for me as a lvl85-86 fire mage

Nice find OP!


Edit: Some more spots that may work fine, haven't tested all of them yet, I'll be leveling alts today and add/delete some of them if I find something else, reply if you try some of these please:

Sunken Temple (61-66)
Mana Tombs/Sethekk Halls/Magister's Terrace (71-76)
Gun'Drak/Halls of Lightning/Utgarde Pinnacle (81-86)
Blackrock Caverns/Vortex Pinnacle (86-8


Edit2: ATM leveling on vortex pinnacle lvl86 frost mage really easy, you can take a tornado to get back right to the entrance after last boss

Tested Sunken Temple as a lvl 65 Dk, it gives 3.5k on completion, gotta try more vanilla spots, will edit this post if i find something useful

Leveled a toon 87-90 worked pretty well. How bannable is this? I want to level my 82 as well.

No one ever got banned for a minor exploit to level faster like this afaik. On cataclysm release there was another exploit where you could enter Tol'Vir instance, kill some easy thrash that wasn't elite but awarded exp like if they were, so many of us leveled tons of chars there in a breeze, all they did is nerf the exploit and move on. Go ahead and use it while you can

Thanks! I don't think leveling another toon will cause any problems then.. Maybe if someone were to level like 10 new characters this way then there could be some investigations lol.

Completely unbannable unless you're botting it. All they can do is nerf the xp from the objectives so that it gives less xp

EDIT: Been running Stonecore on my 87 priest when this dropped: https://i.imgur.com/v3RxaGg.png

Also, you don't have to SOLO this stuff to get the bonus completion.

You can group. Last night I grouped with four other people got the same amount of xp and everything,

I haven't tried going in with a 90, but id guess its the same.

i have some trouble with the soloing part troll shammy, i dont get that big a boost as 83 in FoS have they nerfed it?

Been messing around with more than one of my characters in Tol'vir with a level 90.

I tried it out with a level 85 paladin, a level 85 warrior, and a level 90 warlock to run through the dungeon with.

At the first boss, I opened up a third WoW window, and logged into my account (level 85's) again, quickly logged on my paladin (after just getting disconnected on my warrior) and once I loaded in and saw both of my characters on the same account standing beside each other, I killed the first boss with my warlock and they both got credit for killing him on the little dungeon objective panel.

I continued on and killed the other 3 bosses, even though my warrior had completely went offline and it was only my paladin at the entrance. After finishing the dungeon I checked my warrior only to find out she didn't get the bonus.

I'm locked out of my 10 instances now, but I figured I'd post it here just in-case someone knew something I didn't and could build onto this. Would have been great if I could run 4 of my 85's at the same time.

[Method]

you sure that this is good method?

As someone with 4x87's and an 86 right now needing leveled, that's just leveled 3 90's in the past two days doing Twilight Highlands runs?

I can say through experience that this isn't a good method and it's slightly over-hyped. You need to grind a boring dungeon (Which takes more than 5 minutes with a low dps by the way) at least 10 times to level, whereas in twilight highlands you get the same exp (as one run) for 4 quests that require no gear/concentration/effort and are close together, and doesn't require having a helper (This might)

It would be a good method if Twilight Highlands didn't work, but hey, who am I to piss against the wind. As an avid leveler I much prefer Twilight Highlands questing compared to grinding the same dungeon 10+ times requiring concentration and help (Especially if you're playing an UP class), but it's up to you.

If you're low on your gold, do this I guess, then again, if you're after the gold, you should be doing Panda questing.

What is it you do in twilight ? plzz share my friend

[Method]

What is it you do in twilight ? plzz share my friend

It's in another thread (That I can't find currently) so I don't want to take credit. But...I will provide you with a TL;DR version:

---

Basically, Each quest in Jade Forest gives 15k exp, the problem is, these quests are all kill-quests (The Orcs in the fortress, the Sha at the fortress,The Orcs in the Keep, the other orcs outside the keep, the monkeys, the Monkeys again...etc...etc) So...this is 15k per quest, with incredibly slow leveling due to how long each individual kill takes and traveling time between places due to no flying.


Whereas, In Twilight Highlands, you get 13k-20k exp per quest, with flying, and more quests per area, and mobs can be instantly killed since they're low level, so instead of spending time killing mobs or traveling, you're not. And instead of doing 1/2 quests per area it's 3/4.

---

"Is it better than this?"

Yes, if you're playing a class that really can't solo (Like priests, who do mediocre damage) or if running the same instance over and over sounds as boring to you as it does to me. You'll find this method *Is* faster if you have a 90 friend that can pull the entire instance and run out within 3 minutes, but realistically, you're not going to do damage reliably for every class, and it's overly-optimistic to think you'll clear the dungeon <5 minutes. From experience, I'd say if you're a warrior or a Druid (Tank or Dps orientated class) this method might work well for you, if not then take the Twilight route.

Good time to have two accounts.

As I mentioned above, I leave my low level right inside Tol'vir, and my warlock runs through one shotting bosses.

I know it's fast because at the end of every dungeon, after I kill the boss on the big platform, I use my glider to jump off back towards the entrance, which I can only do every other dungeon because it has a 2 minute cooldown.


So let me sum up your post a little better.

If you don't have two accounts, and 20-25 minutes per level is too fast for you. Go to Twilight Highlands.

Edit: I should also add. If you took advantage of RAF and the dungeon bonus like I did, and all your characters are sitting in level 1 gear at 85. This method may also be for you.

just wondering, can you enter this dungeon at lvl 1? and get the 54k xp ??

I don't think so.

But I was referring to the fact that the bonuses from low level dungeons scale with RAF.
