Dungeons give you a fat reward even when not using Dungeon Finder since 6.0.2 hit live. It's similar to how a scenario works now, there's boss objectives and you'll get a Gold + EXP reward at the end of it. So, because of this.. I've found dungeon grinding is actually one of the new fast ways to level up. level 90 runner and a low lvl toon you want to level up. My low level toon went from level 55 to 70 in just under a couple hours from running dungeons over and over again. Just run the dungeon, leave, (reset instances) then re-enter. My low level toon got around 8 bars of EXP per run completion. (Not to mention the dungeon quests) Obviously you'll still get penalized on mob/boss experience having a level 90 in your group. But it's still much faster then questing on your own. Thoughts? EDIT: This was hotfixed RIP
Yea its funny, I was doing some RAF with my friend and holyshit the speed has increased by at least double. We got from 23 to 45 in a hour.
The XP rewards from dungeons are so hilarious, i can't help to think its unintended. I've been raffing up users, and 1-85 takes on average 6 hours. Additionally, 85-90 is fast by just leveling in cata zones (give like 500xp less than pandaria quests), because you one-shot everything and you can fly. Great time to get some accounts up.
They give out free lvl 90's when buying WOD, you get XP for Arena battles/BG's and dungeons are harder but easier at the same time....I say its not a bug people dont like leveling and they know it.
Yeah I had every intention of hitting 60 and then doing a wod boost but levels were flying by so quick I just stuck it out to 90 instead
I don't remember where I read it but the dungeon rewards will not be that great past lvl 90. Also Dungeons are harder because your gear is worse compared to before the patch, I was running RaF dungeons at level 80 and I was still running around with many items from level 15-60
It it possible to send only two characters into a dungeon that will then be autocompleted (e.g. by dungeonbuddy or a plugin)?
I was leveling solo on Lost City of Tol'Vir from 88 to 90. Around 5 minutes per run. 15-18% XP each run.
Yeah i've leveled 2 alts this way since 6.0.2 hit. Its the fastest way currently, im expecting a hotfix.. As long as you manually went to each dungeon, then loaded the dungeon profile in dungeon buddy, then maybe. I haven't tried botting the process yet.
At the moment Cata gear is better then MOP its a massive bug they have. So yea you best take that advantage, I dont think they are going to remove the extra XP at the end of each dungeon as its a reward and everyone loves rewards. Blizzard had placed it in so if someone wanted to select a dungeon they can still get some reward from running it.
Is anyone still doing this? It has been hotfixed already and instead of getting big xp we only get a small part. Is it still worth it?
It was way quicker before but it is still silly fast. Before nerf i got 1-90 in 8-9 hours played on my 5 man raf team. After nerf i still managed 1-86 in 10 hours played. The 86-90 is going slow is only since heirlooms and raf bonus is not active. I need around 3-5 random dung for each level now.
I got a great bonus from power leveling from the XP Bug at Timeless which has been hot fixed and got quite a few teams up from 1-60 in 10 mins but I wonder how well this will go for people who dont have RAF. Is it still worth it?
