The Boosting and Power Leveling summary thread

[nodoze]

Discovered this yesterday while I was using my 60 hunter to level: if you want to really power level just one character using the hunter pet method, Have the second character in your leveling group die and sit at graveyard. Now your first character will get full kill xp. Was doing the 11-20 grind in <10 minutes per level.

Wow that is a great find! So basically you had 2 alts grouped, one dead and released as a ghost at the grave yard, and if you tag with the alive alt and then kill with the pet your alive alt gets all the XP?

Correct. . I was really excited when I found it. If the second character runs near the group even while dead the xp will split again

that looks painfully slow! i think you could do that faster with a normal team ( or if his paly had all the proper damage shield items ).

I tried a few different set ups with my new team (pulling with a 60 mage and a proper group all same level ).. i went to SM at 22ish and it was way too slow. I went back to stockades and as my lowbies get closer to level of the dungon, it goes pretty fast. Its all just boring as hell! I'm just sticking with the mage for now, taking it slow until the lowbies can contribute. My priest, at 25, is able to keep my mage alive on bigger pulls, so as the priests heals/shields get stronger, the 60 mage should be able to handle the incoming hordes of mobs that my warlocks eye pulls!

yeah, I am kind of stuck when it comes to leveling two character. I have two mages I’m trying to power level. I use a 60 warrior using only shouts to keep aggro, and a hunter pet to help kill after the mages AoE tag. It still doesn’t work too well because of the split xp, and I can’t find open world camps that could support the size pulls I need.

And then dungeons aren’t really an option because my 60 mage AoEing for two lowbies seems really slow. Wish I could find a better way. I think the direction I’m going to head is aoeing open world elite packs. Even if it’s slower at least there will be enough mobs.

OK please report back with what you find.

If you find some more HyperSpawns or good packs for AoEing please post screenshots of your cursor on the map with the mob name(s)/levels and I will update the HyperSpawns tab and/or add an AoE tab.

I already updated the initial post for 'Approach 2B' for feeding XP to a single alt at a time.

I might be daft, but what is the point of grouping up if one is just idling at the gy? You don't get group bonus in a two-man group right?

For some reason it takes 2+ low level alts in a party (even level 1s) for them get full XP for kills of mobs they tag by out of party pets. A single low level gets reduced XP so, even if you really only need 1 character leveled fast, grouping 2 and leveling both would be faster than one and grouping 2 and leaving one dead & far away would be faster than that...

If you really want to just level up a single character (or two) it can be a very fast way to get them leveled up. A single hunter was getting a character up to 20 at less than 10 minutes per level which is faster than my 5 man group...

Assuming you only have access to 5 accounts, likely the ideal party would be 3 Hunters power leveling 1-2 characters and you would leave one dead if you really just want to level up 1 character fast.

This could be a really fast way for someone to get an extra character or two to cap quickly. Personally I would love to be able to do that to have a Mage at cap for free water/food/ports and maybe a warrior for an extra tank option.

So pets can tap level at any level?

Yes but you need to have 2+ alts in the tap group or your will get heavily reduced XP. If you really only want to focus on leveling 1 alt, put 2 in group and let one die and release to the Grave Yard.

Does method 2B work with warlock pets as well? If yes, is this viable to powerlevel a char to level 48?

Best Regards,
Tony.

Yes 2B also works with Warlock pets though I don't know how sustained warlock pet DPS compares to fully talented beast master'ed Hunter pet DPS. If someone can do some comparisons between Warlock Pets and Hunter pets that would help.

2 Hunter pets took 2 alts to almost level 40 in approximately 1 day played. If I recall correctly 2 Hunter pet DPS started to taper off leveling speed around level 38 via 'Approach 2B' and I think they were going to switch at that point to a different Approach (possibly Approach 2A). Note that you alts don't need to be level 48 to tag level 48 mobs...

For a 5 boxer working alone, assuming 2 alts in the tagging group, the most pets you can have acting in the kill group is 3.

I don't know if any 3 pet groups have tried to get to 48 and reported back... Bottom line is that, within reason, the more pets you have the higher you should be able to go and the faster you should be able to get there...

I do know there are some 5 man teams of all hunters out there so they, if working with another boxer, could go further than other groups...

With 6 accounts active I can maybe one day have 4 pets for power leveling but for now at least I don't have any high level pets... One of my teams have 3 Warlocks so if no one does any testing before I get to 60 I will try to.

Were they just tap leveling open world with the hunter pets?

It must be rough in P2 now with PvP everywhere then?
