Running 8 person instances

Reading up on this, it seems to be the fastest way to get XP. Been seeing a lot of 2-3 person groups with people just grouping with their RL friends or whatever, but would be nice to start expanding that out a bit.

Would also probably help people save some cash as you can afford to skimp a bit in some areas while doing this to level up.

We might also start hitting some adventure wings/cata zones for loot as well at various points.

Going to be on starting at 7 pm EST, running these, and anyone within 2 levels of me either direction is welcome to join. If it doesn't work, we'll rethink it, but would be nice to start getting some good groups going.

FYI, I'm currently level 11.

If we get 6 or 7 and are mowing through the instance, I'm sure we can add some "PL" spots if we don't get a FG of 8.

Only real things I'm worried about with it is that it scales ok, been noticing weird things at the low levels where Orange con mobs are disproportionately hard compared to yellow, etc., and trying to make sure we don't outpace our gear and end up level 30.

You don't have to have everyone the same level. The instances adjust to the combined levels of everyone on board. So adding a lowbie or two doesn't make it much harder for the higher level peeps, and the lowbies get a rocket exp ride. We did this yesterday all day to get 10 or so people to level 20.

That 120% exp bonus is the way to go. Faster levelling than a necro with bot almost.

only a servant necro could beat that and noone will be that until after they and their bot hits 50 and buys gear


doing 8 ppl at a time in instances is deff the way to go
