What about the current AV weekend, shouldn?t grinding that with instant queue times be faster than questing?
Bot #1 - Shaman 0-60-63 using Kicks profile which is awesome and fast with adjustments and update 63+ Currently using Instance buddy Bot#2 - Shaman 0-60-63 using Kicks profile which is awesome and fast with adjustments and update 63+ Currently using BG BUDDY/Archa I can tell you Instancebuddy is definitely faster compared to anything at the moment between level 63 - TBD lolol. I am just a bit skeptical of healing because i just saw my Shammie (Dps) got stuck on the wall for like 10 sec. Note: This is with absolutely no heirlooms. Update: lol Archaeology is definitely not faster than Instancebuddy when it comes to gaining exp. I am comparing both Bot #1 and #2. I do say Archaeology is Pure AFK though. Instancebuddy is at 280k-300k exp/h (somebabysit) Archa is 180k-200k exp/h (AFK) Quest leveling is faster than Instancebuddy/BG botting/Archa but I am in one of the top High pop PVP server so I get gank a lot.
For a person new to botting i think questing is pretty good i am only doing like 10 hrs a day and in 4 days i am lvl 65 not bad and with all the gold to boot.
I quest bot from 1-80 and then use archaeology buddy from 80-85. You sacrifice on the reputations from the cata zones, but with mists around the corner, it doesn't matter. Arch is safer and you do make some awesome money on it by selling the grays and whites you make. I think when my warlock was done at 85, he had like 3-4k gold simply from archaeology. I used that money to buy 280% flying on my next character once he hit 80. It goes pretty fast and it's nearly 100% AFKable. I just get stuck in the giant trees near the dragon shrines in duskwood and hinterlands. Blacklist the twilight highlands digsites and you'll probably never die unless you get ganked. The fire elemental mobs there have an AOE ability that the bot will not move out of and you'll die from it very quickly.
i try archeoligibuddy with my schaman lvl 80 ... its nice ... farm a lot of archivements and the ep is okay ... but is it realy faster then questing ?
