I don't want this thread to be a standard leveling guide, that's not the kind of shit you'd find on EJ. Instead, I wanted to get end game players take on twinking out and leveling new alts. That is, what class do you think can level fastest using resources available to end game raiders, and in what way can you do it.

example: Paladins are generally not a fast leveling class, but they have the option of AE farming with good equipment and a good shield spike. A new player does not have this option, as they would not have the cash to twink out their character and get an expensive shield spike. But, if you do, then you can level pretty quickly.

To give you background, I play a mage, but I'm gonna roll a druid alt now that our guild is close to raiding half as much (Working on Illidan). But, even with the increased leveling exp, I have a hard time re-doing content I've done many times before. Personally, I'm looking for the fastest and most interesting ways to level alts. But, I want the thread to be about others ideas and tricks from end game raiders for the quickest way to level other classes. I mean, borderline exploit worthy tricks. If it takes 2-3 people to do, that's ok too.

Try to stay away from just recommending 'good' areas to farm, unless it's related to the trick you are talking about or the area has some trick to it for the class. Example: If you were leveling a mage and wanted to AE farm with frost spec, you'd have to find areas with densely packed non-ranged and non-caster mobs.

If there is a certain item(s) that make leveling ridiculously easier for that class, mention those. i.e. the shield spike for the paladin, or some overly powerful leveling item that slipped through the cracks (something like heroism deck for a melee class at lvl 60, but for lower levels).

Lastly, if there are good areas to take your alt that would actually make good money for your main too, you can throw that in.

Hopefully the mods find this EJ worthy, I know it's closely related to a standard WoW forum type thread. But, I wanted to go in a different direction, from the POV that everyone has leveled one or more classes all the way to the end game already, and hope we can stick to that.
