Alt-leveling: brief observations

My shadowpriest, my boyfriend's feral druid. Both 59 as of late last night.

1. Experience bonuses are ridiculous. These were the first characters we'd leveled that had both 10% exp, shoulders & chest. Rested experience bonuses are even more ridiculous.

2. When duoing with experience bonuses, you fly through zones. Absolutely fly.

3. I think my boyfriend's personal record for running my priest through Ramparts from 55-58 (approximately 7 runs) was 9 minutes. Elemental shaman with a priest's power infusion. I can't do it on my boomkin in less than 12 with both my innervates + his druid's innervates on me on cooldown constantly. I'm not sure what this says for anything, but it's an interesting observation.

4. Getting 3-4 levels in one day was typical, and probably assisted by the fact that red quests weren't usually too difficult for us. Feral cat/bear, shadowpriest who can heal if things go bad. We didn't die very much.

5. I think our current expectation is 2-3 zones before we hit 68 and Northrend.

6. Things that aren't at least orange die very, veeeeery quickly.
