This is just an efficient and blunt Guide to level to 80 by 5Boxing. Of course you will still need to do the required Class quests in between.I chose the instances that would require less "strats" and have a bigger number of mobs. I will soon release a video for each instance when i get my 5boxing team up and show you the fastest route possible; may also make a graphic guide for them as well .

All suggestions welcomed

This guide is awesome for those people who enjoy getting more diverse settings and having their leveling feel less of a grindfest, the only worries I would say about this guide is that it proves to hold a lot of travel time pre-30 which won't matter once mounts get nerfed to lvl 20. I would say to do this you may want to get someone to port your characters to Dalaran or Shattrath as early on as you can to help mitigate some of the travel time.

Overall, i am going to be testing out this guide on my next set of characters to see how long it does take and to see if there are any shortcuts along the way.

Awesome job Spetty

[Spetty]

Well the team i will be running is Pally/Priest/Mage/Shaman/Hunter so the mage will be teleporting us once he gets the skill. 3.2 will help everyone with leveling and i think should have been done the last time they revamped the mount levels.

The only thing I suggest is not going to Wrath at 68 and waiting until 70.

Great guide! Definitely helpful to me, as I am not that familiar with the horde instances and couldn't figure out where to take my hunters/priest now that they're 25 (soo bored of SFK).

I stayed in RFC until 19 and then went to SFK at 19, skipping that questing period and Wailing Caverns. Made it from 19-25 in only about 5-6 runs of SFK too.

One thing i would say is half of the places you could probably stay in them abit longer.

It seems the ones you have, your'e only there for a short period of time.

I found out yesterday that RAF accounts can "Summon Friend" even inside instances. Even if the friend is outside the instance. Pretty useful for hearthing back to town for supplies or w/e

Just wanted to say thanks for putting this guide together as I've been following it from about level 24 - 57 in a couple of days.

I also wanted to link this guide to BRD since you say to spend 6 levels in there.

Blackrock Depths (BRD) Strategy Guide -- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Vault

I could only manage to put up with it until level 55 though and it's the first instance I couldn't sit through to get the achievement due to it's sheer length. Ugh. I remember doing this way back in classic all the way to emporer in a PUG. I must have spent 8hrs straight doing that back then lol.

Another tip is to read WowWiki before you start a new instance and try and pickup the quests associated with it. For BRD there's a few quests you "do along the way" and each are worth about 33 - 40k RAF XP for the quest turn in alone.

Thank you for the compiled list, just started a new 5man box. Gonna test it out now
