RAF weekend

I spent the majority of the weekend leveling up another RAF team before my bonus time runs out in just over two weeks.  I prefer to create teams of the same class, as I level them together to level 10 before I boost them in dungeons.  I rolled a gnome warlock team on Thursday night, and outfitted them with bags and gold.  I only gave the RAF toons enough gold to get the first bit of training (everything in the starter zone) and non-binding bags.  The main toon that I'm keeping got the good stuff.  The starter zone was very easy, with everything falling quicky from 3x damage.  Within an hour the team was level 10 and on the tram from Ironforge to Stormwind.

On Friday, I started running them through Deadmines and the team was up to 16 after a few runs.  They hearthed back to SW and I did some training on my main - the RAF toons wouldn't be anything but extra bag space now.  I ran them through Stockcades until they were in their low 20s.  More training for my main and then off to SM Cathedral.  I kept running that until they were 40 because the team is easier to control there than ZF; there is much less movement needed.

Saturday was ZF until the team was 45.  I normally go right to Strat at 45, but I read the Scholomance was a great place to boost because you didn't have to move the boostees at all.  Sure enough, the plan worked as advertised.  I ran the quests given by the ghost out front on my 80 and was able to use the ghost vendor in the town for repairs and selling of my junk.  The team was at 50 and had bags full of loot and no junk.

Sunday was the final stretch.  I have run through Strat too many times to remember - and I have yet to see the mount drop.  This day would be no exception.  I did, however, get this.  I had arranged the leveling of the RAF toons such that they would hit 60 before the main; this way I was able to grant the main level 60 when it was at 59.95, leaving it at 60.95.  A few kills later, my 61 lock and the 60 RAF toon hearthed home.  My power-leveled lock had a ton of pre-BC blue gear, and enough cloth to level first aid up to 300 plus do all of the cloth turn-ins for some extra exp.

I was able to grant levels to several other toons, and ended the night with a level 60 rogue and priest, and a level 47 hunter.  I have one final team in progress on another realm.  It will most likely be the last team I do before my RAF expires as I don't have the time to do another.  The process gets rather boring as well.  I currently have two teams at 58 and the last is at 35.  Once they hit 58, I will do the BC trial on the RAF accounts and finish boosting them to 60 in Ramparts for a change of pace.
