An Amoosing Way to Boost

Greetings Nephalem,

There are many ways to help your friends level in Sanctuary. You can run the story mode, do some rifts, even just hit up some bounties. My personal favourite way however is definitely Not the Cow Level. And by definitely Not the Cow Level I mean it definitely is the Cow Level! (The one that's Not the Cow Level)

To not get to the Cow Level, I mean, to get to the Not the Cow Level you are going to need a Bovine Bardiche. There's no trick to farming these, they can drop from any mob in sanctuary as long as you are level 31 or higher. Since you are planning on boosting a lucky friend or 3 I think its safe to assume the latter. Unless of course you are a boostee looking for a quick way for your high level buddy to prove his friendship too you!

The Bovine Bardiche is a two-handed pole-arm so some classes will see them far more often than others. Monks, Barbarians and Crusaders see them quite often from my own experience. Once you have acquired this item you simply need to stick it into Kanai's cube, hit transmute and your portal to Now the Cow Level should be open. The level of the Bovine Bardiche you transmute does not effect the Not the Cow Level in any way.

Now just jump in, slay cows, click shrines (Nemesis Bracers are great here) and don't forget to do the quest where you get 4 radiant chests for causing what can only be described as the total extinction of cow kind. The waves of cows give a bunch of exp as does the quest hand in itself. If your boostee friend has some experience gear crafted you should wait until he is high enough level to equip said gear before starting this quest.

Oh and remember: DON'T OPEN THE CHESTS. This is what makes this, in my opinion, the funnest method to get boosted. Leave those chests sitting there (I know its hard) until your friend reaches level 70. You will probably have to run one rift in addition to Not the Cow Level for your buddy to max out. How much you have to do will vary based on how much experience gear your buddy has equipped.

Now that your friend is 70 the two of you can return to Not the Cow Level, which is now named appropriately as Cows should be nowhere to be seen. Run around opening chests (or make your friend do it, they owe you!). Your buddy should now be fully levelled and fully equipped to begin his end game journey through Sanctuary, and if you are lucky the chests will have rewarded you too!
