Powerlevel 1-60 with a recruit a friend?

Hello all,
I'm an avid Wowhead forum reader, and just today created my own acc.
OFFTOPIC, I know.
My question stems from my female counterpart.
I've recruited her as a warlock, and I rolled a pally. We've had no trouble at all getting to level 10 as a party in just under 1 and a half hours.
Now that being said, this is not my first time doing quests lines and such, I am very familiar with the world and how quest grinding is the quickest way to level.
So do I assume correctly in saying we should be able to go 1-60 before the 90 day link is up?
3x XP is just gorgeous, and if I understand the RAF faq, we only get that untill 60....
FYI: lock spec will be afflic, pally will be either Ret, or Prot (after we are able to get into some instances)
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

With RAF, its sometimes faster to just grind out mobs. Its nice if the quests are clumped together, but I wouldn't go out of my way to new zones for a quest or two. Without mounts till 20 it's not worth it, easier to just grind it out.
That being said you are in luck my friend. You can do the LFD (Looking for Dungeon) thing from lvl 15 on. If you spec as ret and be a tank for the group it's almost insta queues.
Running dungeon after dungeon you should level very quickly. You can definitely get to 60 under 90 days. It should take you less than that to get to 60 without the 3x exp.
I'd roll as Ret because you can tank fine with Seal of Command. I wouldn't switch to Prot until level 50+ (if at all).

Level together to 15. Then start queuing for random dungeons. You will get very quick queue times if your friend plays a tank. Tanking can be stressful at low levels if you have naughty DPS or a bad healer, but if you get her into it early on, having a good tank as a friend is amazing.
As for if you can level to 60 in under 90 days? that just depends on how much time your willing to play. I have seen people level to 60 in less than a week without RAF
Keeping this paladin related tho. Read the stickies on prot leveling and a tanking spec for low levels. Everything you'll need will be there.

Ah, My mistake, reading too quickly this morning.
Even better tho. I may be a bit bias on this because of my love for paladin tanking but, I think that paladin tanks have it very very good in WoW right now. The only draw back to leveling a paladin is that its kinda boring. You will have like 3 things to do untill about level 66 =[

Don't think you're biased, Paladins are the best tanks in the game atm.
And paladins tend to be a tad boring until the later levels. I didn't mind because I was decked out in Heirloom items and face rolling my way through Azeroth.

I'm a big fan of tanking, and tanking right.
I have an 80 prot war on a PVP server. goodtimes.
But Pallies seem to be the absolute PWN atm, so we'll see where it goes.
As far as Ret tanking, stick with a sword and shield the entire way, or is it possible to do it with a 2 hander?

LOL! If you have an 80 warrior tank then you know what to do. Level as a tank, Get clique and grid so you can use Righteous Defense on your group members easily. And welcome to easy-ville, population YOU!

Sword and board all the way.
Level 20 - you should be queuing for deadmines when you ding 20.
Use this spec
Every point you get after level 20 put into prot.
At level 41, you can stop using the
Glyph of Seal of Command
once you pick up Blessing of Sanctuary, with
this spec
Once you hit level 66 switch from using
SOC
, and start using
SOV
with
this spec
.
After that, just follow your way to one of the level 80 stickies spec.
Until you hit level 41, and get Blessing of Sanctuary, mana is going to be your biggest problem. Make sure your are using Judgment of Wisdom. Mana problems end at level 41 =]

I'd personally stick with SoC as long as you can. Makes trash tanking a walk in cake ville.

That would push getting Hammer of the Righteous out for another 5 levels to 71
Hammer of the Righteous and Glyph of Hammer of the Righteous, makes it so that not using SOC is not a rough transition, and makes paladin tanking more enjoyable sooner.
This is all opinion based of course.

I can confidently say that my brother levelled:
1x Mage: L60
1x Priest: L60
1x Warrior: L60
1x Hunter: L60
1x Rogue: L60
while his girlfriend levelled another hunter, a mage and a paladin, during the 90 day period. One or two of his characters benefited judiciously from level grants.
Having said that, because of how often my girlfriend and I play together, we only got to about L45 or so in the 90 day period (though we also levelled one of my L20 alts to L40-something through level granting).
It should take about 3 days /played time to hit 60, make what of that as you will.
