[WoW] Instance Boosting Videos

THESE VIDEOS HAVE BEEN RENDERED OBSOLETE WITH PATCH 3.3
THE EXPERIENCE RANGE HAS BEEN NERFED.

Before you watch any of these videos you should know a few things. There are not super new ground breaking techniques in these videos. I've taken multiple teams from 1-60 via questing and I just recently started boosting in instances. I found out a few things along the way through trial and error and, even though some of these things are listed in other people's videos and guides, I thought I would compile everything in a few quick and simple HD videos. If after watching the YouTube links you cannot seem get enough of the videos, there are 720p and 1080p download links provided in the description of each of the YouTube videos.

Enjoy

Nice video.

It shows exactly what you do, as a booster.

I would suggest changing loot to "master looter".
With the boosting character as the master looter.
Set your loot threshold to green or better.
And have the booster "opt out" of loot.

Then only corpses with greens or better will sparkle.
And you can master loot them to the teams enchanter.

Re: [WoW] SM Cathedral

Loot threshold does not determine which corpses sparkle. Every corpse will still sparkle if there is any loot on it. Loot threshold determines which 'rarity' cannot be freely looted...or must be master looted. If I put the threshold on epic that means everything is free for all minus any epic drops. If you kill a bunch of mobs, not loot them, and come back to them later after they would have normally despawned; the ones with rare or epic drops on them will still be sparkling. Again...those do not last forever and will eventually despawn themselves...they just take much, much longer.

You missed the biggest part ;-) Having the booster opt out of looting will only sparkle those that he is master looter for on him.

Ahhh...the booster.

EDIT:

This is great and all but....I can't loot all the delicious cloth, that sells for an exuberant amount of cash, with my booster. :D

Re: [WoW] SM Cathedral

Too true if you go that route :D Just depends if you want the cloth or just the green and up items =) Personally, I'd just empty my 80 slots on my booster and go to town, cloth ftw!

Re: [WoW] SM Cathedral

I JUST started the 'toons click like mad method' of looting. Works well. I haven't been looting at all but if I don't take the time I get the instance lock for 15 mins :/ I usually loot every other time now.
