You can actually use one honor party to get a player to 50/50/50 or higher. The level 30 honor thing is just the limit that restricts you from MAKING the party, after that as long as you don't leave the party or crash you can plvl for 3 hours with no issue.

Before you say you need to reset party to reset instance, all you have to do is wait 5 minutes everyone waiting outside the instance, after 5 mins it auto resets, and you can go again. Sure its slightly slower but there is no issues with class level that way.

Any class can kite bugs in tosh, but its only scouts and mages that can effectively kill the bugs, though only just on scout. Anything with range hits can farm, true, but unless you do enough damage you will very quickly get so many small bugs that the lag is terrible... Personally with my comp I can just handle kiting 4 bugs, but if I stuff up at all and don't kill off the previous wave my fps drops to anywhere from 1-8 and I get owned >.>

Yep. And there are ways around that too. As you can see in the video.

True. If doing HOS, like I do, entering HOS easy and normal alternatively avoids the delay. Might work in other instances too, if you can solo normal or hard mobs.

I'd be curious what the XP per kill is in different instances. Tosh is good, but it is not simple process to do, as you mention, and risky. People, depending on their power levels, can choose others. Anyone has numbers, before the 30% party buff and 100% XP fruit? Lemme start:

1) HOS/HOS-e = 1980
2) KS = ??
3) Origin = ??
4) DOD = ??
5) RTE = ??
6) GCE = ??
7) SCE = ??
8) Tosh-E = 821 (about 9100 for hard mode bugs)
-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Personally I would only plvl in KS or ToSH depending on gear level and of course class. Other instances may give more XP but KS has a lot of mobs and is fast while tosh easy is by far the best as long as you can AoE and run :P

tosh and ks hands down. set main's lootomatic and alt's to greed, have a "loot all" addon/function enabled, make $$$ while PLing (atleast for ks).

tosh powerleveling good for <50, gets a bit slow afterwards but still doable. Cheaper than dog meat. Only do the small bug spawn. Easily 4k+ exp ish per kill (dunno #'s off top of my head). Dps big bugs to 25% and let em spawn the tiny ones.

cause i was running for lets say a good 10 minutes without any small bug spawns, i was like wtf how they do that LOL

unfortunately one thunderstorm from my mage killed the big bugs...

I got alt to 38 in HOS by switching between normal and hard mode. Go trough to 5th boss to collect mems, exit switch to easy, do the same, and from there fastest is going trough area on norm trough 2nd boss and easy first boss. (other will reset in mean time, and normal between 1st and 2nd boss is most populated area)

Another instance I run for PL is Origin, as it does not require quest to enter, and bugs are easy to control with TS. In this case you can farm leech while PL-ing.

Another advice is to level to 29.9 on all 3 classes, close honor party and start fresh new one and you have 3 hours of power leveling.

The hint that Grimwind and Evo told me back in the day was to swap to a crappier staff. That avoids killing the big bugs outright, or tends to. Neither told me specifically which staffs they were using, tiered or not.

I use a m/wd and just spam charged chop till bugs are under 25%.

How often do you die in this PL-ing?

Never. Park the alt in the hall before the main circular room, clear that room of all but 1 bug (and the first few mobs after it). Keep running in circles once bug gets to 25%, if youre too close theyll spawn and charge you = death for even my druid. If youre far enough away when they spawn, theyll just aggro you normally, no charge, so just thunderstorm them down, carefully avoiding the big bug (you want it to keep spawn casting).
