Heya guys, most of us in wow have once or twice leveled an alt, and some of you might know that being boosted through SM is really nice for your XP gain.
It might just actually be the fastest way to level around 30 or so. Anyhow, getting there is a bit more annoying, especially if you dont have a FP close to the instance.
This requires one Elemental Shaman with Thunderstorm (pushback, it might work with boomkins aswell) and for you to preferably be a mage, OR (if your not a mage) have a priest with you aswell.
The trick on how to get there fast, for alliance mainly, (obviously doable for hordes aswell but you can just go to Undercity and do it in a shorter time :P) is that you get to the absolute top of Ironforge (a guide on how to do that shall be linked soon, ill try atleast) and when you are at the top, you use the map to aim your character towards South Shore, duel the shaman, get the Slow fall (the mage ability, from yourself ONLY, since its only on a 30 second duration. Having another mage do it on you wont be enough time) or have a priest cast levitate, which is two minutes long and should be enough for you...
To conclude it all: To get to south shore fast, without the FP, (if you wanna go SM or whatever) is to get to IF top, duel ele shaman or balance druid, get the slow fall / levitate effect, have them shoot you in the right direction towards South Shore.. Succes.
Here follows some pictures :P (this is at a MUCH HIGHER SPEED than just running with out the cliff with a mount)

PS. If you have slow fall and just run out with a mount, you will end up somewhere close to Menethil harbour, if you didnt try this yet. But to get to south shore you need a push back effect.
