      Hello HB member!

      Since a few weeks, i'm looking for some ways to get more gold. But now its enough to read only, now I have something to do.
      I decided to start a 5 man dungeon team and i want to create a diary with the success.

      Today, 07/25, i bought a second HB license key to start and 5 MoP Battlechests. Then i created 5 new WoW-Accounts.
      I decided to run follow setup: Pally (Tank), Discipriest (Heal), Hunter, Rouge and Warri for damage.

      It was something about 15:00 when i was ready to start.

      Until all these chars hit lvl 15, they will run Questbot without a party. For now, i will update the Thread if i got something to say :)

      Hardware:
      CPU: AMD FX8150
      GPU: AMD R9 290X
      RAM: 16GB (running with 8GB in VM)


      Update 07/26:
      After about 9 hours of playtime, all chars hit lvl 30. Leveled in dungeons and linked with RaF since lvl 15.
      Setup works very well - no wipe until now only some deaths. Dungeonbuddy works AWESOME! Love you HB <3

      Update 07/26 #2
      After about 16h gametime, all chars reached lvl 60 with some breaks.
      Some wipes in the blackrock dungeons happened but no "no way without help by hand".

      Update 07/28
      Now, after a full day break, the team is starting in WotlK dungeons. No bigger problems until now. They dinged to 70 after about 21h playtime. Yesterday I moved the VM with WoW and HB setup on a SSD to gain performance.

      Update 07/29
      Now, after almost 25h playtime, all chars are near lvl 80.
      Tomorrow ill run them in cata dungeons. Again no issues with HB and Dungeonbuddy. Everything works fine.

      Update 07/30
      Started the team one hour ago. Currently they are lvl 82.
      Plan is to reach lvl 90 today to equip them overnight with WoD quest items.
      Next update in a few hours and hopefully with lvl 90 :)

      Update 07/30 #2
      Finally, with exactly 30h playtime, they dinged 90! YEY!
      Now i acticated the 10 day WoD trial and EP-stop. Setup is ready to run some quests.
      Currently they are between ilvl 390 and 400.. very low...
      Tomorrow we the shoud be able to run MoP dungeon without healer. We'll see.

      Update 08/02
      The plan with SoO doesnt worked well. It takes to much time.
      I equiped them via quests and rares in WoD until ilvl 500 then 4 or 5 runs in bloodmaul mines with dungeonbuddy.
      Currently running them around 8-10h a day with 420-450gph each without heal. Earned ~80k until now.
      1d 8h playtime on lvl 90, 2d 16h totally.

      Have fun!

      How do you plan on running a 5 man dungeon team with only 2 HB licenses? You're going to need to buy 3 more licenses, too.

      Good work mate.

      I've done this before to fill out my accounts with (at the time) 90's. Sadly all those accounts were banned.

      The only issue I ever ran into is that the tank levelled the fastest, followed by melee DPS and then ranged/heals. I think this is because of minor additional exp gained when things die which are out of range of some of the ranged guys, or the ranged and heals were getting killed more regularly.

      Either way, when they hit the ends of expansions is where they got stuck for a bit, and I had to manually select older dungeons etc, as the leader would be level 80 and trying to queue for Cata stuff, whereas the others were ineligible.

      Its a good idea to get all your characters to current content while you have RAF available.

      Thank you!

      The problem with dungeons in a new content i had only one time. From Classic to BC. Luckly :p

      But today i have another problem. Three of 5 chars are stucked in some quests in WoD so they dont have equip.
      Only tank and heal are farmed a little bit so they are around ilvl505. But the healer is best in dps now and done some "testruns" without heal and it works very well :D
      At the evening i planned to equip them in SOO with main char lvl 100.

      i would not recommend you doing SoO to equip your toons for mainly 2 reasons..

      1st: u most likely will need help of someone else to boost your toons the full raid. i did that twice and was running with my main acc and 2 friends (=3 lv100's) boosting two teams of 5.
      2nd: the gear upgrades are not really worth the time u have to spend. (assuming your accs won't last much longer than the first 30 days)

      as i mentioned before i did that process twice and i dont think its worth the time/work..
      i'd recommend going for the WoD starting questline + first zone profiles to reach ilvl 500 to queue up for bloodmaul slagmines where u can gear your chars up to 530 in almost no time.

      the only point of SoO would be farming a 520+ weapon for your toons as there is none in bloodmaul slagmines besides a 530 agility mace.

      Yea. We realised that already.. :D Its not worth the time...

      Update 08/02
      The plan with SoO doesnt worked well. It takes to much time.
      I equiped them via quests and rares in WoD until ilvl 500 then 4 or 5 runs in bloodmaul mines with dungeonbuddy.
      Currently running them around 8-10h a day with 420-450gph each without heal. Earned ~80k until now.
      1d 8h playtime on lvl 90, 2d 16h totally.
