New Recruit a Friend Features

[Aradar]

http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20588

Some of the cooler things:

What in-game benefits do we get while the accounts we play are linked?

1. Characters on both accounts can summon each other once per hour.
2. While adventuring with your linked friend/family member, you will each gain triple experience and honor.
3. For every two levels the new player earns, the new player can grant one free level-up to a lower-level character played by the veteran player.

How long will I be linked to my recruit?

The link between the accounts will last for 90 days from the date that your recruit creates an account. Remember that for the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the 10-day trial key in your invitation email.

Is quest experience tripled too?

Yes, but only if the quest was not trivial (gray difficulty) for either character.

What if I'm partied with multiple recruits who I'm "linked" to? Do I get quadruple, sextuple experience?

No, you can only ever gain a maximum of triple experience regardless of how many linked recruits you are partied with.

How can I earn the exclusive in-game mount?

For each person you refer who upgrades to a retail version of World of Warcraft and purchases two months of game time, you will be able to give a character on the account you sent the invitation from an exclusive in-game zhevra mount. This unique mount can be claimed through the website, is only available to Recruit-A-Friend participants, and can only be applied to a single character.

In theory if I understand the free level up correctly, a new boxer could create one account and invite 4 others which in turn could cause 4 other toons to reach 35 without ever being played.

Four letters for you...

OMFG!

This would have been useful to me A YEAR AGO!

[Shuri]

This would have been useful to me A YEAR AGO!Or two weeks ago in my case. /cry

[Jaese]

Wish it was retroactive. :/

Though I only did the recruit a friend for 2 accounts because I forgot about doing it for the first 2.

[Perrigrin]

This would have been useful to me A YEAR AGO!Or two weeks ago in my case. /cry

yeah, second that :(

[Stabface]

So.....

Account 1, L70 Prot Paladin
Account 2 & 3 recruit-a-friend and make accounts 4 and 5.
Accounts 2-5 make L1 noobs, get boosted by 70 Prot Paladin.

"Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?
No, only when you are partied with a character on the linked account and both players are present when slaying the monster or completing the quest. Also, if the two characters are not the same level, only the lower-level character is given the experience boost."

Triple XP for all the alts?? z0mg!

err and just to keep with the latest forum meme....
CREATIVE USE OF GAME MECHANIC OR EXPLOIT ? LOLZ

[Biz]

So wait. All multiboxers may now level their entire group at 300% experience? That's insane.

This unique mount can be claimed through the website, is only available to Recruit-A-Friend participants, and can only be applied to a single character.

WHAT?!

I want a zhevra!

[badashh]

I've been pretty much avoiding 5 boxing(I 2-box) but with these changes the 3 I level, I could get an alt on my main to 70 without ever logging in. And holy crap, boosting with x3. I think my head just exploded. And the free level thing is that for every toon you level? So if I boost 3 groups of 3 to 40 is that 3X3X40/2=180 levels I can distribute? Sooooo many questions.

[zanthor]

Curious...

Assuming you have 5x 70's.

WotLK releases... Buy 5x WoTLK 4xBattlechest...
Recruit-A-Friend the 4 new accounts.
Transfer 4 toons to the new accounts.
Level to 80th 3x faster than anyone else.

Thats $120 for battlechests, $100 for transfers, any other cost I'm missing?

$15x4 refund (free time on main account) brings the total down by $60...

so $160 for 90 days of double XP and lots of free levels you can whore around. I'd bet you could fill 5 accounts with 70's in 90 days of triple XP.

[Talamarr]

Please refer to chart about things being too good to be true :D

[Biz]

so $160 for 90 days of TRIPLE XP and lots of free levels you can whore around. I'd bet you could fill 5 accounts with 70's in 90 days of triple XP.Triple XP. So crazy

Holy shit. Bliz is definitely trying to push for more new players for the WotLK release (since they'll need to be lvl 70+ to experience it!).

Look at what this does to a single player at level 70 who was considering multiboxing:
Account #1 uses recruit a friend on accounts #2-5.
Account #1 lvl 70 boosts accounts #2-5's *first* alts through quests and instances for 45 days, earning triple experience on both mobs AND quest rewards. For triple XP, a dedicated player could boost at least *two* full teams to lvl 70 in 90 days.
Account #1 lvl 70 boosts accounts #2-5's *second* alts through quests and instances for 45 days.
Now, since we've gained 8*70 levels (560), divide that by 2 (280), and we can now have *4* more lvl 70's on account #1 for doing no extra work. WTF Bliz! This makes me want to put my 4 alt accounts on hold, recruit myself 4 times, buy 4 more battle chests for $120-160, and spend the next 3 months boosting to end up turning one lvl 70 into *13* lvl 70's. Once I'm done, transfer my 4 shammies on my current alt accounts to the new boosted accounts, and have 5 accounts stuffed with level 70's.

Something doesn't seem right here.. are there some rules we're missing out on? Like a lvl 70 account can only have 1 recruited friend? Or we can only boost to level 35? This seems like a massive exploit waiting to happen..

[Stabface]

You can't grant free levels to put someone beyond 60th.

[Awbee]

Boosting with a High level will not gain the Exp bonus.


Do normal experience rules apply?

Yes, if a monster is trivial to either player, no experience boost is given.

[Biz]

The details page is swamped and I can't get it to load... Isn't there something in there about not getting triple experience if the mob is grey to any of the players in the group? That would effectively prevent recruit boosting.



*edit - Beat me to it. So we would have to start a fresh group of 5. Still crazy imo.

[badashh]

whoops didn't see the trivial to either character. I guess this is a way to eliminate boosting. I guess questing 1-40 is back baby!!


Maybe they implemented this change so Sam can get all his 26 characters to level 70 faster.

[Awbee]

The recruit a friend is just that, to recruit a friend to get them hooked into wow. As experienced players we dread the grind most of the time because we have seen the lower level content so many times already. We would rather boost our re-rolls. But for a completely new player to WoW, they would prefer them to experience the game as it was meant to be, instead of just getting pushed thru to endgame. So They would like you to start new with your friend to make it seem not as painful for the experienced player, but still have the "new feel" aspect to the new players at the same time.

man i used recruit a friend all from 1 account... i wonder if just that 1 is going to get the zhevra

Sadly, I think I managed to do this as well. >.<

Maybe get 5 Zhevras for 5 characters?

It sounds from some customer service threads that old refer-a-friend "links" are being shown on account admin page (the same page that you create new refer a friend tickets). Unfortunately, since I use an authenticator and it's at my home computer I can't check mine, but I'm fairly certain I refer-a-friend'ed all from the same account.

It's yet to be seen whether old refer-a-friend's will be credited, or only new refer-a-friends. That being said, the Battlechest on Amazon is only 29.99, and 2 months of gametime is $15.99/mo, so you can essentially calculate it to be $29.99 + $15.99 + $15.99 for a Zhevra mount. $61.97 per mount. Pretty cheap, if you consider prices on special mounts like Spectral Tigers and TCG riding turtles.

You also get a free month of gametime, so if you take that into account... $29.99 + $15.99 + $15.99 - $15.99 (free month) = $44.99 per Zhevra.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to receive the benefits at present, you must use the new Recruit-A-Friend system. The benefits are not presently being applied retroactively.

[Awbee]

You have to playing on the low levels together, you would not be able to boost say a lvl 12 thru deadmines with a higher toon and expect the lvl 12 to get 3x the experience. If you were playing 2 similar level toons that were linked they would get the 3x experience.

Recruit-A-Friend FAQ


What is "Recruit-A-Friend"?

Our new friend referral system allows you to recruit some of your friends to join you in World of Warcraft by sending them an invitation email containing a trial activation key. With this key, your friends will be able to set up their own trial accounts.

To start this process log on to the Account Management section and click the Recruit-A-Friend button. This will take you to the actual friend referral page, where you can enter a friend's email address and name one at a time. If you want, you can also enter a message that will be included in the invitation email.



How can I earn the exclusive in-game mount?

For each person you refer who upgrades to a retail version of World of Warcraft and purchases two months of game time, you will be able to give a character on the account you sent the invitation from an exclusive in-game zhevra mount. This unique mount can be claimed through the website, is only available to Recruit-A-Friend participants, and can only be applied to a single character.



What in-game benefits do we get while the accounts we play are linked?

1. Characters on both accounts can summon each other once per hour.
2. While adventuring with your linked friend/family member, you will each gain triple experience and honor.
3. For every two levels the new player earns, the new player can grant one free level-up to a lower-level character played by the veteran player.



How long will I be linked to my recruit?

The link between the accounts will last for 90 days from the date that your recruit creates an account. Remember that for the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the 10-day trial key in your invitation email.



When my friend/family member upgrades from a trial account to a full version of the game, will that break the link between the accounts?

Nope! Your friend/family member will have to upgrade to continue playing past the 10-day trial, and the accounts you play will stay linked until the full 90 days have passed.



If my friend/family member recruits another friend/family member, am I linked to that person too?

No, these benefits only apply to the person that you referred directly.



Are there any limits on when and where I can summon my friend?

You and your recruit may only summon new characters of equal or lower level to the character you are playing. There is a one-hour cooldown on this summoning ability. Also, once one of the characters reaches level 60, the summon will no longer function.



Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?

No, only when you are partied with a character on the linked account and both players are present when slaying the monster or completing the quest. Also, if the two characters are not the same level, only the lower-level character is given the experience boost.



Is quest experience tripled too?

Yes, but only if the quest was not trivial (gray difficulty) for either character.



Do normal experience rules apply?

Yes, if a monster is trivial to either player, no experience boost is given.



How does this affect / stack with Rest State experience?

While you are partied with a linked recruit, any Rest State you have accumulated is not consumed. Only the tripled experience from the Recruit-A-Friend program is applied.



What if I'm partied with multiple recruits who I'm "linked" to? Do I get quadruple, sextuple experience?

No, you can only ever gain a maximum of triple experience regardless of how many linked recruits you are partied with.



Are there any limitations to granting levels to characters played by the veteran player?

Yes. The recruit may not grant a level to a character that is equal to or higher than the current level of the character he or she is playing.
Additionally, the recruit may not grant a level to a character that is level 60 or higher.



How can I earn the free 30-day credit?

For each person you refer who upgrades to a retail version of World of Warcraft and purchases his or her first month of game time, the account you sent the invitation from will receive a free credit of 30 days of play time.



Can I use the free 30-day credit on a different account or at a different time?

No, the 30 days of play time are immediately applied to the account you sent the invitation from once your recruit pays for his or her first month.



Can I earn multiple 30-day credits and mounts with Recruit-A-Friend?

Yes! These rewards will be given to you for each account you refer that meets the criteria listed above.



If my recruit cancels the account before purchasing subscription time, can I still earn the 30-day credit or the in-game mount?

If the recruit later comes back, reactivates the account, and purchases subscription time, you will still be eligible for the rewards. Additionally, you can always invite more friends/family members to try World of Warcraft through the Recruit-A-Friend system.

Clarification from blue on how the free levels work:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=8557372932&sid=1&pageNo=3#51


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
Quick question regarding this. So if I invite my friend, and they level to 60, does that mean I have a free 30 levels to gain? Or do these charges not stack? For example you gain 1 level to give, and only have 1 to give until I use it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For every 2 levels a character on the trial account receives, one level may be gifted to a character on the veteran account. So, if a trial character, after he or she upgrades to the full client, levels to 60, a character on the veteran account may receive a full 30 levels.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
Secondly, lets say I have a level 29 character. IF my friend levels to 60, (and this might hinge on the 1st part of this question), does that mean i can use the auto level ups all the way to 59?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. :)


Caveat: The character cannot grant a level to a character equal to or higher than their own level.

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=8557372932&sid=1&pageNo=3#55


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
I'm gonna use this topic for my own quest since it's similar and applies, rather than creating a new topic.

If I were to level up a "friend" to 10, that would mean 5 bonus levels, correct? Now, am I restricted to applying those free levels to a character that's below the "friend's" level? Or just any character on the main account lower than 70?
For example, I..I mean my friend levels a character to 20, then gives those 10 free levels to my level 51 Shaman...would that be possible, or do I have to give them to characters below level 20?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As listed, there's one caveat to the gifted levels: The (trial) character cannot grant a level to a (veteran) character equal to or higher than their own level.

In order for your level 51 (n) shaman to receive a free level, the trial character must be at least 52 (n + 1). Provided levels cease at 60.

This is a good way for me to get poor little Peapod the neglected gnome warrior out of the level 40 rut she's been in for the past 9 months.

Not before WOTLK.

But after.... it is certainly possible :)

[vincenight]

Well, I called customer service to verify a few questions I had.

Q- Does the new account, recruit a friend, be under a completely different name, billing address and email address. ( I know this may be a noob question but I had to ask it!)
A- Yes, the account name must be different from the inviting account. The billing address and payment method does not have to be different.

Q- Do all my characters, on the inviting account, receive the new mount?
A- Only one character will be able to redeem the mount redemption coupon code.

Sorry if this is repeat information.

[Vyndree]

Yes, the account name must be different from the inviting account.

Are they saying the account OWNER's name has to be different or that the account LOGIN name needs to be different?

Because the latter makes more sense. After all, no two accounts can have the same login information.

[vincenight]

account owner informations

for example on my account I am Tom Jones
2454 OMG street Tn, blah blah

The invite friend must have a different name Sally Sukcy
2454 Omg .......

I did not ask about login info....O.o funny thing is, I never even pondered about, "What if two accounts had the same login info?" Wow, mindblowing, if you really think about it lol:)

[Blackguarde]

I just linked my one account and a new account (un-used key) Ive had sitting around the home, all ACCOUNT INFO the same (name, address, billing), login of course is differant because they are unique. Says my accounts are linked. :)

You gain a New mount, better leveling, instant leveling.

Not to mention you can level new teams this way, level a new team and insta powerlevel 4 or 5 characters on one account to help powerlevel other teams.

[mlwhitt]

Q u o t e:
Will this work if I open up a second account for myself?

What I mean is, will I still receive the benefits of this offer if I use it to start another account and multibox with it.



You will! That is, so long as prescribed leveling requirements are met.

Q u o t e:
Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?
No, only when you are partied with a character on the linked account and both players are present when slaying the monster or completing the quest. Also, if the two characters are not the same level, only the lower-level character is given the experience boost.

I'm going to assume at minimum the first names on each account must be different.

Do not assume this, nor do it.

Any discussion about forging account names on threads in order to exploit the new refer a friend features will be promptly deleted from this thread, or if it gets bad enough, result in a thread lock.

I know you weren't encouraging anyone do this -- but I forsee it might get out of hand. Just be careful about what you ask/say -- that's all I'm asking. :)

It SPECIFICALLY states that recruit-a-friend'ing yourself, with the purpose of multiboxing, is perfectly fine.

Your question has been "straight up" answered.

Let's not make hasty assumptions. You may recruit-a-friend on your own accounts -- I mean, you can be a friend to yourself, right? ;)



EDIT: And again....


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
1. Would it be against the rules to recruit yourself? That is, buying my own second account and leveling it to get the benefits.

2. Does the recruiting have to be faction-specific? So if I recruit myself, or a friend for that matter, and they choose Alliance (I'm Horde) do you still get the benefits?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) You are absolutely welcome to do so!

2) Should your trial-friend upgrade and remain active for 60 days (or subscribe immediately for 3 months or 6 months recurring), your veteran account will be eligible for a mount regardless of factional difference. Benefits to leveling (ie - can you gift level cross-faction) I'm confirming right now.

Triple honor too... I think you will be maxed out with the major factions by like level 30. I wonder if the triple honor counts for the bc factions? Getting exalted with all old school factions has never been easier. Does triple honor last til 70, or I guess it would stop with the exp gain at 60? I think you can get into Slab at 59, I guess you would ding before you would get any great amount of faction from the triple exp.

So let's say you have 5 accounts. 1 main account with assorted level 70's and 4 "alt" accounts with let's say 1 lvl 70 shaman each.

1. Transfer the shamans off the 4 alt accounts to the main account. 4 x 15,- (dollar, pound, euro, whatever)
2. Cancel 4 alt accounts.
3. Invite yourself 4 times.
4. Get 4 new battlechests. 4 x 30,-ish
5. Activate the 4 trials and get 4 free months on the main account in the process. Plus 4 Zhevra mounts. Joy.
6. Transfer back the 4 shamans to the 4 new accounts. 4 x 15,-

Now you have the ability to lvl as many new 5-man teams with triple xp as you can manage in 90 days. Plus 2 free level 60's on the main account per team you level to 61.

Is this correct? Very VERY tempting. Bit pricey though.

[kadaan]

So what's the optimal way to take advantage of this?

3 new accounts?
Old1 -> New1
Old1 -> New2
Old2 -> New3

Create a new team on Old1 Old2 New1 New2 New3 and all five characters get triple experience.

I'm also curious to see playtimes and if this comes anywhere close to the speed of just boosting in instances. I'm guessing it'll be somewhat close, and I'd guess boosting may still be a little faster even with the leaving instance and zolo nerfs.

Other than the mounts on Old1 and Old2, you'd also get a free level 60 character on Old1 (30 levels from New1, 30 from New2) and 30 levels on Old2.


Edit: I also think it's worth noting that since all the bonuses only apply up to level 60, you can probably get away with just buying a $9.99 copy of Classic WoW and transferring the new characters to your main 5 accounts when they ding 60.

Just ordered my last 4 so I have 1 now and 25 on order!

Oh its already been posted.

Well lots to read.

Let me see if I got this right, you DONT want to invite everyone from one account cause then you only get ONE mount.

You need to round robin like listed:

1 invites 2 who invites 3 who invites 4 etc.

So Ill get 25 mounts (the last account dosnt get one), that way.

For triple exp I could have a group 1,2,3,4,5 and all get it then 6,7,8,9,10 also all get it? with the round robin invite method. So any 5 consecutive would all 5 get the bonus exp.

Humm they may as just as well start you at 60 lol ...

[Boxcarwilli]

I think the best way to take advantage of this, if you want the mounts for all of your accounts at the same time then dothe following

A reqruits B

B reqruits C

etc etc...

Also, just posted by a blue....

"Again, mounts are not restricted by faction, as the selection process works sort of like TCG cards (that is, you're able to select any character on any realm on the veteran account). "

That's what I'm thinking. Not sure :)

In your example B would be linked to both A and C and I don't think that will work. A can be linked to B, C, D and E though. That has been confirmed.

But maybe I'm wrong.

[Boxcarwilli]

One thing we are probably all wanting to know is how the veteren account is going to to use/bank the free levels.




Q u o t e:
Alot of people (myself included) are looking for confirmation on how the "gift levels" are used.

Do you get a bank of them? Do they stack? Do they have to be used immediately? 1-60 would give 30 gift levels, are you allowed to save them and then use em on a character who is lower level but higher than when the character was created?


I'm still having this confirmed. I'm not ignoring those questions. :)

Alright. On the level gifting front!

Recruit-A-Friend trial characters (continuing even after upgraded) will receive 1 free level for every 2 levels gained up until 70. This means, a "trial" character may successfully give away 35 levels. These levels may be stored up to 90 days, when the Recruit-A-Friend benefits expire.

With this, you may give all 35 levels away at once—all to one character, or to multiple different characters. A character may receive gifted levels up to level 60.

Hope that helps. :)

[ChaoticMonk]

Does the recruited account gain the triple xp as soon as its created and can you give out the gift levels while in 'trail' status (ie. you havent paid anything yet, just used the recruit key)?

Would it then be quicker to recruit trail accounts, level them up using the triple xp then gift the levels to characters on old account(s) that don't have the triple xp?

It's easier to level from 1-10... Does that mean I can make 9 level 10's and 1 level 70 on each "refer a friend" account and gift 45 + 35 levels? ;)

Best use would be to use those levels for the the 50-60 (or 25-60, if you use them all for one alt).

I'm curious as to the interface. Is it something the friend has to do? Is it a credit the referer gets to use as they please?

Account #1: 70 Paladin, 53 Shaman.

Account #1: 70 Booster + various alts.
Account #1 recruits Account #2.

Account #1: Level 1 TwinkGear with tradeable enchant items +pants, +spell Damage, Run Speed, and +Health/Spirit
Account #1 & #2 levels new toons from 1 to 20 in 2 hours.
Account #1 now has banked 10 level ups and gives it to a Level Up toon.

Account #1 & #2 deletes their lowbies levels up 2 more new toons from 1 to 20 in 2 hours.

Does Account #1 get to bank another 10 Level Up Gifts?
So his Level 70 can grant this to the Level Up Toon.

In theory, he can level up 1 to 60 in about 12 hours from Level Up Gifts?

[daviddoran]

I will be doing this at least with 1 account. I bought a whole battlechest for my 5th account, but I only needed TBC, so I have a spare cd key and some game cards that are just sitting here. I guess I will just level at least 2 toons, one on each account, and get a mount on my main account, along with 35 free levels (got a lvl 28 paladin and a lvl 19 warrior that sound like good candidates for free exp. I also always wanted a druid tank, so I will level up a druid on my main account with triple xp, and something else on my 6th account, and just xfer that toon off of that account after the 3 months game time is up.

I wish I hadn't started yet... I'd love to have 5 zhevra mounts, and 5x triple xp....

Imagine if the triple xp worked with Zolo (pre nerf). I could have gotten toons from lvl 35 to lvl 58 in like 3.5 hours lol Now THAT would be a cool leveling record.

I think they f'uped the launch of this. Me and others in the wow forums had linked accounts from acct mgmt earlier today and now they arent linked. Also, there is no way to summon yet that I see and no in game icon or notice that one is getting the extra xp. The xp I was getting 20 min ago didnt seem triple the amount.

Account 1: 70 Pally, 53 Shaman.
Account 2: is recruited by Account 1.

Account 2 is boosted by 70 in Account 1, not worrying about 3x xp.
When Account 2 hit 60, he can gift +7 levels to Account 1: 53 Shaman all the way to level 60.
Account 2 has 30 Level-Up Gifts. Used 7 so far.

Now Account 1 & 2 can level together from 60 to 63 @ 3x xp. Woot!

Account 1 & 2 now have level 63s.
Account 2 at level 63 can get 3x xp grouping with the level 70 of Account 1 because all 63+ mobs will not be gray.

When Account #2 hits 70, he can gift +7 to Account 1's shaman to level 70?

Gee - wouldn't this have been useful.......3 months ago.

[Cupcake]

The levels given away, does anyone know if they can be given to characters on other accounts, or is it limited to the same account (or even to the linked account)?

[Talamarr]

You gift the levels back to the account that recruited you. Bascially a "thank you" gift for introducing you to a wounderful new game :D

[ChaoticMonk]

But do have to have paid for the account (ie. no longer trail account) to be able to gift levels?

[valtrex]

seriously wow. that would ahve been sweet a couple weeks ago when i opened three new accounts.

[kadaan]

But do have to have paid for the account (ie. no longer trail account) to be able to gift levels?I don't believe so, but seeing as how you can only gift levels to characters lower level I don't see why you'd want to boost an alt on a trial account you don't intend to pay for instead of boosting the alt you really want.

[Boxcarwilli]

seriously wow. that would ahve been sweet a couple weeks ago when i opened three new accounts.How about 4 days ago when I opened 4 accounts. They were all linked this morning and now they arent linked.

So if I get this straight, I can recruit 4 new accounts and make five new chars that get trip experience from lev 1-60 (quest exp as well). Then have 120 banked levels to give to characters that are under level 60 on the "mains" account? Meaning I can get 2 alts instantly to level 59?
Or If you can squeeze it in level them to 70 for 140 banked levels and get even more free levels?

Do I understand that correctly?

If so I will probably make sure thay don't nerf it and buy four new accounts soon.

And ideally with those 120 levels, I'd level them to 20 solo and gift 40 levels each so you can have THREE level 60's :).

[Stabface]

Minor nit, but since you gain a gift level for every 2 levels a recruited character gains, then from 1-60 you'll gain 29 and 1-70 you'll gain 34 gift levels. Meaning that for 4x recruited accounts you'd have 116 or 136 levels, not 120/140.

[Lyonheart]

So If i want 5 mounts I have to start 5 new acnts sent from the 5 acnts I have now? I started 5 acnts a few weeks ago but have not leveled them yet. So i wasted the money on the battlechests BUT WHO CARES!?!?! i want the mounts and the 3xexp!! so ill gladly spend the money for 5 more chests 8)

Also, Since you CAN use this RaF feature for yourself.. I just send an invite to my same email address from each of the current 5 acnts ? I mean me sending myself 5 RaFs from 5 of my acnts all to the same email is ok ? I guess ill just do it and see 8)

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ok the way I understand it is that you must round robin to get mounts for everyone. In the following everyone will get mounts but number 5, as account number 5 did not invite anyone.

1 links to 2 and 2 links to 3 and 3 links to 4 and 4 links to 5.

In this case 1 DOES NOT link with 3 or 4 or 5, ONLY with 2. For 1 to get free levels 2 has to be higher then 1 (or an alt on 1). 1 can only get free levels from 2. 2 can only get free levels from 3 etc.

All 5 are new accounts so you level 1-5 together (ALL will get 3X exp up to level 60). Lets say after 90 days all are level 60. Because all are the same level none can get any free levels. So you make alts on accounts 1,2,3,4 and they all go to level 30 insantly. (remember account 5 did not recruit anyone and thus none can give him levels or a mount). I don't see the edge there unless you move the alts to other account.

So I guess for me the free levels is worthless, because I plan to level all together (unless I want more then 26 for god knows what reason). I guess it cannot hurt to have buffing classes or something as level 30 alts on all accounts. And I only have to buy a 27th copy for some dummy account so that the last account can get his mount also heh.

On the other hand ALL 26 will be getting 3X exp ALL the time for 90 days (omg) up to level 60, assuming I make the groups out of linked accounts, which I will. Thats just insane.... Blizzard is just so out marketing SOE that is not even close. So now they get a flood of new accounts, people who get to level 60 fast, and people who are going to buy a full price WoTLK as soon as its released in November, which amazingly happens to be about 90 days away ... lol

Well I should have all 26 copies by Aug 12th or so ...

[Sajuuk]

I don't care about the XP...I would just like one of the mounts. :(

Links to my pics of 5x Zhevras :)

I checked out the XP--It's ridiculously fast. While you're getting Friend xp you don't use your rested, so you'll hit 60 with 1.5 levels of double xp. This is perfect for multiboxers just getting started or someone who doesn't mind dumping a bit of cash into it to power level on up to 60.

With my 70 Warlock boosting I bet I could get 4 toons to 60 in 2 days pretty easy.

[Xzin]

Buy 6 accounts and refer 5. Then level as normal..... basically throw the 6th away. I haven't given this more than 10 seconds of thought but seems at first glance to be a way to get 5 zebras and all the rest of the benefits.

1 recruits 2 which recruits 3 which recruits 4 which recruits 5 which recruits 6.

1 Has not been recruited so you can toss it?

I have to read up on this more but what do you think?

[Simulacra]

so Ive just read the entire epic thread

awesome

I 5 box, so can I transfer my 4 alts to my main account, suspend their accounts, refer a friend round robin to get zebras and all the benefits and then transfer my toons back to the new accounts?

I think so but you would need to buy 4 new accounts and upgrade them to TBC (or buy the battlechest).

And of course pay to transfer 4 characters... twice.

You'll have to create a 6th and scrap it if you want mounts on all 5.

I didn't even think twice about dropping the cash on brand new accounts. Screw my level 40 shammies...I'll just catch up in no time and come out way ahead :)

[Rodskii]

So I started leveling my shaman team 3 days ago and I noticed the announcement today. Luckily I only paid for one account and the other 3 were on trials. So I deleted the chars. Reissued the friend invites by staggering accounts. That way 3 of my 4 accounts get the mount and everyone gets 300% xp. Had a friend start boosting me tonight on his level 70 mage. He is not associated with any recruit a friend and I was still getting absolutely insane xp. I went from 1-23 in 4.5 hours played time. The escort quest in Razorfen Kraul, at level 22, yielded me 10950xp...... this is definately amazing. I also plan on saving my granted levels until 70 so I will have 35 on 3 of the 4 characters. I then plan on boosting 3 new characters to level 25 and using the free 35 levels to get them to 60 ;) I love blizzard for this one!!!


Ohhh and this is my first time actively trying to boost a character so I know I have a lot to learn.

[Vyndree]

you would need to buy 4 new accounts and upgrade them to TBC

For clarification -- TBC would be necessary here if you were to xfer from your main account to the trial account. TBC is not necessary if you are transferring from the trial (using vanilla WoW) to your main account. You will still get a zhevra mount as long as the vanilla WoW account pays for 2 full months of playtime.

1 recruits 2 which recruits 3 which recruits 4 which recruits 5 which recruits 6.

I think you toss 6. The account that does the recruting gets the mount.

A lot of the information is spread out a bit in this thread and I just want to see if this scenario would work. I don't have a toon I can boost with (level 24 druid, though). I just want to have 5 accounts who benefit from the XP. I'm Tauren and seeing an Orc is so huge on that mount I think it would look too goofy for the larger Tauren. I don't have any high level toons on any of my current accounts so I don't mind deleting them after all is said and done.

Since I am not worried about the mount I can just recruit 4 new accounts from my main account and all will be linked and good to go? Sorry if this is obvious from previous posts in the threads but my coffee is not kicking in very good this morning.

And if I understand it correctly, I could then start leveling the toons on a trial-account and upgrade them before the 10 days are up and they would benefit from the XP gains during that time?

[Rigz]

SO giving it some furthur thought the most economical method for someone concerned with just the xp for 5 toons would be to buy three new accounts (assuming you already have at least two, that way existing account one recruits two new accounts and account two recruits one new existing account, this will lead to the 3x exp for everybody.

Then you get 3 accounts who can grant bonus levels which means you loose out on at least one accounts gift levels, but save the money from buying 2 to three more accounts...

Tough decision there.

[Simulacra]

OK how does this sound:
I want 4 shammies to complement my 5 box team and I'm not worried about the mounts - zebra schmevra. So, I RAF 2 accounts from 1 account which gives me 2 shammies on the new accounts and I create 1 shammy on the vet account. I level these 3 shammies normally getting 300% xp no boosting, but will have my 70 priest or 70 Prot Pally follow them around and heal occasionaly or get them out of trouble if required. When they get to 60 they should have 30 levels each to gift to the vet account. I then create another shammy on the vet and instantly level him to 60 with the gifts and I transfer him to one of the other box accounts, the 2 shammies on the new accounts are then transferred to my vet accounts and the new accounts are closed. I now have 4 shammies at 60 who can level together and roll in my prot pally as the fifth. The benefit of this is that the xp isn't diluted so much because there's only 3 in the group while levelling to 60, also the $$$ value as it's only 2 more accounts.

[blast3r]

I went ahead and did a recruit and created my new accounts. They are all linked to my main. So I guess I am good to go.

I was thinking, instead of creating a new toon to level these with I would just use my level 24 druid as the main and evenutally the other toons should catch up. And I can then use my level gifts to boost it to a higher level. I guess it would be cool to have a higher level toon as main for utility purposes but not sure how that will affect the XP.

[Babbaganoosh]

Hey everyone, i'm new around here, though i've been reading stuff for a couple weeks.

I was on the fence about 5 boxing. But when i saw this promotion, it put me over the top. As if god was giving me a sign that now was the time.

I couldn't have planned it better.

I added 4 accounts yesterday, each account referring the next account. At one point it wouldn't let me add the last account, so i had to call Blizz. The rep confirmed that i was completely within the rules to refer myself to myself. Even though it wasn't how they intended it to be used.

The only thing i'm not sure about now is when all this kicks in. I set it up as a monthly recurring charge. So i know the mount wont get to me for a while. but i hope the xp bonus start immediately. I'd hate to have to wait 2 months for that to start as well.

Maybe i should go buy timecards.

[Monk3yv]

OH GOD!

I barely got my 5shammies to 16 today. I'm considering starting over and getting 4 more battle chests to speed up the process.

Lets see here, 4x40=$160 as stated before. $160 dollars is very fund-raisable these days, and if I get 3x the xp AND spiffy mounts?!

Im doin it :thumbup:

[d0z3rr]

Looks like I have something to do today. Will be buying 3 new accounts. Now all I have to do is decide my new group makeup......which always takes FOREVER.

[blast3r]

Sorry for all the posts this morning! I went ahead and decided to just take full advantage of the XP and make 5 new toons. Just set everything up and within minutes I was level 4. Incredible XP! Kill one level 4 mob and you get 57XP for the kill and a 38XP bonus. So just one kill you get 95XP!!! This will give a whole new meaning to grinding instances for XP. Can you imagine how many points you will get? Holy crap probably 800 points a kill in RFC. I imagine it won't take me long at all to catch up to my previous level 24 level.

One thing I can see that will be a problem, however, is the experience points in weapons, defense, etc. I guess these can be leveled in chunks later on. It will also be hard to keep up with gear since you will be leveling so fast and not having the gold to keep up. Probably not a huge problem, though. Anyways, glad I did it. I was already getting the grind blues and this will make it much better. woo hoo!

[Gigatron]

I linked up an account and rolled a rogue and priest, the two classes I don't have 70 yet. :D Damn, the xp just flies. In an hour I was lvl 12 on them both.

[Saithe]

Missed this by ONE !@#$ing DAY. Bought a game card with my second account, got a free month on my first, then today (well, yesterday, I'm still up from then), I see the new Recruit-A-Friend buff. !@#$ me. I wanted a Zhevra mount, but I'm not getting another account just for it.

[dimzen]

I want a Zhevra mount too, even do more then 2-boxing.
But no, I'm from Denmark, I can't use the Recruit A Friend :(

"Players with a World of Warcraft account from the following countries
are able to use the "Recruit A Friend" service: Austria, Finland,
France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, UK, Norway, Sweden, Greece,
Ireland, Belgium and Spain."

[Tonuss]

Let's not make hasty assumptions. You may recruit-a-friend on your own accounts -- I mean, you can be a friend to yourself, right? ;)
And emo multiboxers get the shaft again... :(

[amalgam]

Trying to get the most out of this here.

I have 7 accounts:

-- 1 "Main" account that I raid with (2 70s on it)
-- 1 "Alt Main" account (70 Prot Pally for boosting)
-- 1 Miscellaneous Account (alt bank and whatnot)
-- 4 Shaman accounts for my team

I know I want the mount on my "Main" account and plan to use the "Main" to MB with anyway, so there's one. I want to leave the Pally's account uninvolved so I can boost easier. The Misc. account will also stay uninvolved. I want to get a full party of 5 making 3x XP. My Shamans are all only in the low-40s; should I remake the Shamans and PL them all the way back up? What's the best way to take advantage of this: cancel 3 Shaman accounts and get three more for the bonuses?

[Mikisiw]

First the beta, now this. ZOMG. Blizz, you're killing me here, you're killing me! The good thing about it is that I just started multiboxing and have new accounts I could trash. Bad thing is, I used game cards and still have over 2 months of game time left on my "new" old accounts. :( Well, you can never have enough accounts, amirite comrades?

Btw, beta is mad fun, but leveling thrice as fast would be just as mad fun as well. *ponder, ponder, ponder*

I think Blizz is exploiting my inability to control my altaholism. Enablers!!

:thumbsup:

[Draz]

I also just want to double check and make sure I am doing this right. I currently have 3 accounts. I have 1 lvl 65 shaman, and 2 low level shaman (like lvl 6 or 7). I want to eventually 5 box. What should I do? Do I just buy 3 more accounts, and throw 1 away. I care nothing about the mount, but I do want the 3x EXP. What would be the best way to go about it?

[mlwhitt]

Well I did this last night. A Couple of things to comment on.

I used two of my old accounts to recruit 3 new accounts. I purchased them via upgrading Trial (something I haven't done before and will not do again unless I use a box to upgrade). I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to trade to the upgraded trial accounts for at least 72 hours. That kinda of sucked but no biggie. I also didn't realize that since I used a CC for purchasing time that even though I did the 3 month prepay that I will not get the Zebras until after the trial month is up. Guess I will be going to pick up gamecards tonight.

As stated elsewhere the XP is insane. I leveled 1-14 in just over 2 hours last night and skipped a large number of collection quest. I am going to hit up RFC tonight and see how that does but already I am outleveling kill quest and easy collection quest. Heck I hit 14 before even reaching XD last night.

I love you Blizzard!

So hmm, In a boosting perspective :

Account A - Prot paladin
Accounts B, C, D, E - Shamans, Whatever.
You buy 2 new accounts. Account Y and Z. Account B RAF Account Y and Account C RAF Account Z.
You Transfer the 2 shamans from Account D and E to Y and Z. Cancell Account D and E Subscription
Account B and C get the mount. Account B, C, Y and Z get Triple Xp.
Since they are not linked to Account A. The normal group xp + Triple xp apply to the 4 account.
-----
Amazon.co.uk cost in euro :
2x Battlechest = 45 €
2x 2 Months Prepaid Card = 40 €
2x Paid Char Transfer = 40 €
Total Cost = 125 €

In a leveling perspective :
Account A - Prot paladin
Accounts B, C, D, E - Shamans, Whatever.
You buy 5 new account. Account Z X Y W V. Tranfer the paladin + shamans to the accounts.
Cancel account A,B, C, D and E subscription.
Account Z RAF X, X RAF Y, Y RAF W, W RAF V. ( This gives 4 mounts. if you want a mount on Account V aswell. You need to buy another account recruit it through account V, pay 2 months of fee and Cancel it )
And your ready to make new 5 man grps. leveling by instances/quests.

Amazon.co.uk cost in euro :
5x Battlechest = 113.75 €
5x 2 Months Prepaid Card = 100 €
5x Paid Char Transfer = 100 €

I dont think its worth it :/

[amalgam]

I believe you're making double transfers for no reason. Make and RAF the accounts Y and Z in your name and transfer B and C straight to them. No reason to transfer to A first.

Also, you don't want to link the Prot Pally's acc to the others: the trivial clause means boosting is absolutely out of the question.

EDIT: I should add that I am not necessarily looking to transfer the Shamans. I'd even reroll completely so I can take full advantage of the level charges for my main's account so I can get an instantly-60 Shadow Priest. ;D
[...]
Your transfer the shamans from account D and E to account A. Cancel account D and E subscription.
You buy 2 new accounts. Account Y and Z. Account B RAF Account Y and Account C RAF Account Z.
You Transfer the 2 shamans from Account A to Y and Z.

dose anybody know if the mount is an epic mount or normal speed mount

AHh true , Stupid ><. And with the first "Boosting" thing i posted. None of the other 4 accounts are linked to the paladin account. So you can savely boost away with the extra xp.

The mount is an Epic land mount.

Here's something not yet answered:

Referer = A
Referred (new toon) = B
Third account (not referred or referrer) = C

They note that if the mobs killed are gray to A or B, then triple xp won't happen. But what if A and B are the same level (new toons), and C is a level 70 boosting them? Do A and B earn triple xp? Or just B? Or neither?

[Shuri]

seriously wow. that would ahve been sweet a couple weeks ago when i opened three new accounts.That's what I was saying. I hadn't bought BC yet or even gotten past 20 with my two clones so it made sense for me to abandon those and link two new accounts. After you factor in the free game time it really was not that expensive to buy two new classic Wow to get all the added features I get this way. Were I up to level 40+ I'd be fairly upset

Blue did answer it somewhere. Answer is YES, they earn triple, adjusted for a 70 being in the group as usual.

[-silencer-]

Can someone confirm that typical boosting *does* work with 3x XP? I've seen a couple posts that seem to show that it does..

This is so tempting, even for someone who already has 5 accounts.. not for the mount, but for all the *free* levels on alts.
Think about it.. the main account (#1) refers all 5 new accounts (#6-#10). Purchase 5 more WoW battlechests ($150-$200)
Pay for the extra accounts for the full 90 days ($225) to make the most of the 3x XP/honor bonus.
Now, assuming you have decent lvl 70 to boost with on your main account, you can alternate boosting between the 5 new accounts to get them to 61. Since you can't gift a player higher than 60, even though you can earn the level/2 gift on the new account to 70, stop at 61. Levels 1-61 will provide 30 free levels per new account. The goal is then to get as many of the new account characters to 61 as possible in the 90 days.. for all the free 'gifted' levels to 60.

The only requirements are to have a lvl 70 to boost with on the main account, and plenty of open character slots available.

Repeat this process until 90 days have passed:

- Create 4x 5-man teams on the new accounts (accounts #6-10, team member A-D) for 20 new characters. Sub in the lvl 70 main for one of the accounts for each team and level 1-11 normally through newbie quest/xp. This shouldn't take more than 2 hours per team. The teams will look like this:
Lvl 70 (account #1.A), account #7.A, account #8.A, account #9.A, account #10.A
Lvl 70 (account #1.A), account #6.A, account #8.B, account #9.B, account #10.B
Lvl 70 (account #1.A), account #6.B, account #7.B, account #9.C, account #10.C
Lvl 70 (account #1.A), account #6.C, account #8.C, account #8.C, account #10.D
Lvl 70 (account #1.A), account #6.D, account #8.D, account #8.D, account #9.D
(Currently, we've earned 20x 5 gifted levels, up to character level 11 on the main account.)

- Using the same teams as above, instance boost them to lvl 61. We've now got account #1 with 1 lvl 70, and 5 new accounts with 5x lvl 61's each.
(Currently, we've earned 20x 30 gifted levels, up to character level 60 on the main account.)
Create character B on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 600-59 = 541)
Create character C on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 541-59 = 482)
Create character D on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 482-59 = 423)
Create character E on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 423-59 = 364)
Create character F on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 364-59 = 305)
Create character G on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 305-59 = 246)
Create character H on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 246-59 = 187)
Create character I on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 187-59 = 128 )
Create character J on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 128-59 = 69)
Create character K on account #1, and "gift" him to 60. (Gifted levels left: 69-59 = 10)
Spend extra 10 levels on another existing alt lower than lvl 60. Since gifted levels can apply to any character on any realm in account #1, there shouldn't be a problem with character slots running out.

- Transfer 2 of each of the "gifted" characters to each of the new accounts. ($250) Our minimum account layout now looks like this:
Account #1, lvl 70.
Account #6, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #7, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #8, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #9, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #10, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.

- (Optional) Transfer existing main on account #2-5 to accounts #6-10. ($100 if only 1 main per account, like me.)

So, if I started today, for around $750 and 3 months of grinding, it would be possible for me to have:
Account #1 - lvl 70 main, lvl 67 paladin.
Account #6 - lvl 66 shammy, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #7 - lvl 66 shammy, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #8 - lvl 66 shammy, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #9 - lvl 66 shammy, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
Account #10 - lvl 66 shammy, 5x level 61, 2x level 60.
These 3 months would have produced 35x lvl 60/61 characters. Of course we don't have to go to this extreme.. but just imagine what's possible..

EDIT: Just noticed that you can't gift levels cross-server, so character transfers will need to occur sooner to prevent account #1's character slots on that server from filling up.

[ZorbaTheGeek]

As a new dual boxer (4 or 5 monthly subscriptions is out of my league atm) I've been reading this thread with interest. My Duo was only started a month ago, although the pair include my original single box account. I am considering taking on two more accounts for 70 days for the triple XP and free levels on the original two accounts which I intend to keep.

The way I see it is, I link 2 new accounts one to each, use the 10 day trial, 30 days box (less than 7 pounds sterling for a classic box) and a single month sub (which the original acounts get back as a free month). 70 days to quad box for fourteen quid and loads of bonus levels for whatever characters I choose. It should give plenty of time to raise multiple 60s on the main two accounts before eventually abandoning accounts 3 and 4.

I'm not interested in the vanity mount, nice but un-necessary, my only concerns would be the risk of becoming addicted to the quad and the lack of an un-linked account to boost from (although I suspect triple XP boosting isn't going to last long before it's fixed anyway).

Have I missed something, or is the logic sound?

<EDIT>
As an afterthought I could wait until my Paladin finishes the run from 42 to 70, he's all alone on account 2 atm. I could then link two new accounts to my primary, use the unlinked Pally to boost, and transfer him over before cancelling the sub. It would cost double, but still not much. (scratch this - I would obviously need to add an expansion to the costs too)

[Kulzor]

Aha - Biz, you gave me the idea to go look at the Customer Service forums - found this response by a blue:

---------------------------

Question: So im wondering if im linked to an account where lv70 runs around helping my level1, will my level 1 still get triple experience from questing?

Answer: Should the level 70 and the level 1 character be on linked accounts, neither character will receive an experience bonus, as the mobs being killed and quests being completed may not be trivial (gray) to either character.

Should you be partied with a level 1 (on a veteran account), a level 5 (on a trial) account AND with a level 70 (linked to neither), the level 1 will receive triple experience; however, that experience will be first mitigated by the presence of a higher level character. The level 5 will not gain an experience boost.
---------------------------

So I guess the key would be to link accounts 2 (pre-existing) and 3 (new trial account), and have account 1 (level 70 toon) boost them both - making sure they stay the same level. :)

[Zerocool2024]

So I guess my main question to all of this is, "who is going where".
I know a lot of us are on random servers, and a few of us are on the same server. My only thought in all of this is getting a few fellow boxers on the same server and such so we could kill other factions, end game raid and so forth. Right now, its a little boring doing "it" alone...

Mainly, so I can possibly play with people who are more experienced in Boxing than I am and be able to learn from them.

[Ellay]

Well I'm always willing to help others, so you can check out Smolderthorn on the Reckoning BG :) I know there is quite a bit following though on Magtheridon though too ~

[amalgam]

OK, so my list of questions is as follows:

1) Do characters transferred to new RAFed accounts get retroactive "free levels" for levels gained?

Example: I have a level 42 on a veteran account. If I transfer it to a recruited account, will it have 21 "free levels" available?

2) If one account RAFs multiple new accounts, does the veteran account get credit for multiple mounts and multiple free months? Do the mounts expire if unused/unclaimed/ungifted on the vet account after 90 days?

Example: Vet account A refers X, Y, and Z accounts. All the prerequisites are met for the mount(s) to be awarded. Does the account get one or three mount(s) to award to individual characters?

[ChaoticMonk]

Ok, heres my plan! Let me know if any of you experienced folk notice a flaw or reason why it can't be done (note. all accounts are owned by the same person):

Account A - Booster account with 70pally
Account B - Referee
Account C - New account Referred by Account B
Account Z - Empty account

Account C is upgraded to reg wow retail box (no TBC expansion). Account B & C creat new characters each and level to level 10 together getting 3xXP. Account A joins B & C and boosts them through instance runs, B & C still get 3x XP (which is lower since they have a 70 in the group).
B & C are now lvl60, C gives 30 gifted levels to B's alts that are below 60. C's new level 60 can now be transfered to Z and the process can be repeated if desired.

Are there any limitations that I am not aware of? for example:


Would Account C have to pay for a month of game time (not inc free month from reg wow retail box) before characters can be transferred from it?
Can characters from a non TBC account be transfered to a TBC account?
I would like to try this with min costs so as I see it, the only costs I'd be incurring are $10 for reg wow + transfere fee for every character transferred from Account C, right?

Sorry for the long post, just need some clarification/advice before I do anything I may regret.

[Schwarz]

With the coming of WotLK do you think that there will be more leveling improvments? Once the level cap is raised to 80 they are most likely going to go through and make leveling 60-70 easier. And who knows they might even make 1-60 even easier. I was thinking about getting 5 more accounts and leveling another group but I think I will wait and see what changes WotLK brings.

The one thing that I don't understand is that you can get the 300% xp boost if you are using a higher level char that isn't linked at all. But if you link to your main 70 that will do the boosting then you don't get to see the 300% xp?

edit:: Just thought of this Since I have 5 level 70 shamen I wonder if this would work
buy 3 new accounts A B C

Sha___ refers A
A refers B
B refers C

Make 4 mages group them all together. (AOE the crap out of stuff pretty sure wowwiki has a pretty good guide to aoe grinding) Bring an extra high level shaman along to chain heal the group during hard pulls. High level could even be outside of the group. Not sure how much XP is nerfed if you are getting healed by a high level outside of group.

[Xealous]

Can characters from a non TBC account be transfered to a TBC account?Yes they can. (It's the other way around that you can't).

I made 3 new trial accounts. Since I want to level these characters as fast as possible, I rolled on a PvE server that I already had established characters on. This way I only need skinning and enchanting, and have all the bags I need. I also do not have to skip pvp heavy zones like hillsbrad and stv :) Sadly the pve server I'm on (Perenolde) is full of noobs, and even worse I am alliance. Within minutes of rolling new characters I was getting way too much attention, even had to do /DND. Started a pally, 3xmage, and priest group (humans).

But it's really sweet for xp, the triple quest xp is awesome too. I couldn't care about the zhevra mounts. Whats also nice is I don't have to worry about rested xp!

Some of the pre-bc quests will be insane xp, I can't wait to do http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3517 ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3517') on my linked characters, that is 131,850 xp total for the quest line, which is one of the easiest quests in the game. :D

Is there a exp bonus buff on your guys so you know your getting triple exp

[Stabface]

No, check the combat log to see if you get the RAF bonus when you earn XP.

[Rodskii]

Is there a exp bonus buff on your guys so you know your getting triple expThere is no buff icon to indicate that you are receiving triple experience. But if you look at the combat log after a kill it will state "Player gains x experience (+y amount from Refer-A-Friend)"

[ChaoticMonk]

Does the vetran account need to be on a character of the same level as the referred in order to summon the referred?

[Rodskii]

Does the vetran account need to be on a character of the same level as the referred in order to summon the referred?Nope. I think its funny in the blue post on the main forums the blizzard employee said that you can only summn characters of equal or lower level when I know this is to be completely false. I summon my level 15 character using a level 1 brand new character. Its rather nice. You can also chain summon if you referred your account in a staggering order. IE: Account 1 -> Invites -> Account 2 -> Invites -> Account 3 -> Invites -> Account 4 that way 1 can summon 2, 2 can summon 3, 3 can summon 4, etc

Okay so ive been reading through and I am curious about transfering some lvl 20's characters around.

Account A RAF to Account B.

Acount A has a lvl 23 pally and 19 Priest. If I transfer the pally over to account B can I link them and both be leveled with the xp bonus or does this only work when starting a new character from 1-60?

Drew ?(

Question: If I recruit myself and then transfer an character onto the new account (following all the existing rules and limitations for character transfers of course), will that character be eligible for the recruit-a-friend bonuses?

Answer: Yes. link to it is at the top of the page. :thumbsup:

This is awesome, if i understand it right.

I have 3 veteran accounts. I have no interest in the mount. It is a novelty and I'm happy with one character having it.

I want to level a 28 alliance druid on the veteran account.

So I was going to create two new accounts using the refer a friend.

Can I have both these new accounts linked back to the veteran account and be able to give my druid the levels from both. (So you dont have to do round robin). Do the accounts have to be made active for the levels to be gifted?

So I roll two hunters for their super quick levelling. I get them to 60, and want to then gift all the levels on both (or most of them) to make my druid a 59).

Does this sound right?

[ChaoticMonk]

If you refer 2 accounts from 1 veteran account, all gift levels from both new accounts can be rewarded to the veteran account (the 2 accounts will at least need to be upgraded to classic wow so you can level past 20). FYI, if you only get 1 new account to 60 that would give you 30 gift levels which would get your druid to 58.

Sry I'm lazy, so i ask without reading all RAF posts. I made trial account today earlier, and it's linked to one of my old ones. There was "linked 90 days left" indicator in my accounts, but when i logged in with my "master" and "slave" account i don't get 3x XP. When i logged to account management page there is no longer link information.. So do i need to bought one more copy of wow, and turn my trial account to full account before i can benefit this new 3x XP system?

[Kekkis]

Yep seems so, I found some posts about it @ blizz forums. Well I'll wait and see if they can get it up and working... Then i might need to get some more accounts *sigh* :D

[triCalcifer]

ok, the way i see it, it IS rather awesome given any circumstances.

for example, i dont have a ready to go lvl 70 MB team so for all i care i could scrap the extra accounts i have.

then with my main, invite my self x4.
then instead of doing the boost thing (which seems not to give x3 XP) i´d just create a 5x team of lvl 1´s.
then, given the 90 days of time to get them to 60 (which should be more than enough with x3 EXP) id lvl them as one team.
the Multibox team so to speak :)

then afterwards i would have 120 Levels to distribute to my Main, whichs means i can get some classes to 60 that i havnt
had time for trying. So just lvl 3 chars to 20 on my main (this is ALSO rather easy) and then give them 40 free levels each.

this would effectivly give me 8 lvl 60 characters and given i still have a main or more on lvl 70 i could end up having 9 lvl 70 characters.

Sweet. yes.

Do i need 9 lvl 70 Characters? prolly not. Still i can see the possibilities for people who wanna start fresh.

[triCalcifer]

Ok fuck this!!!!

im from Denmark so i cant use this for nothing. Well..... at least i just saved my self a spamload of dough :P

[noileum]

If I have a trial account which is at level 20, can I still use it to sit in my group in SM and contribute to the group XP bonus?

If so then I think I'm going to power level another 2 toons on trial accounts to 20 to sit and use as part of my group in SM to get the max group bonus.

Would this still work if the trial AC's are 20, and the other accounts are 30+ ?

[Otlecs]

If I have a trial account which is at level 20, can I still use it to sit in my group in SM and contribute to the group XP bonus?
I haven't tried this, but I imagine the answer is no. When there's a level difference, the XP bonus is only awarded to the lowest level characters of the linked accounts, so once your linked character hits 21 he won't benefit from the bonus any longer.

Would this still work if the trial AC's are 20, and the other accounts are 30+ ?Up to 24. I did it by mistake on my first set, I forgot that trial stopped at 20, Vet toon got to 21 before I noticed the RAF toon was still 20. At +4 levels only the lower toons gets the RAF bonus, so you could get to 24 this way*.

* I have not tested or confirmed but it is what the FAQ currently states

[badashh]

My friend who did a RAF did the grant levels to get a char from 30->59 but after that he was unable to grant anymore levels from any character.

For instance he has a 30 warrior leveled normally(not granted levels) tried to grant a level to a level 1 warrior on the veteran account and he couldn't grant a level.

Maybe I didn't understand this feature correctly. I was thinking that every guy I level up can grant levels to an alt on the Veteran account as long as they are below their level.

so If I level up 2 teams to 60 regularly I was thinking I could level 2 other teams to 30 and then grant them levels and have 4 level 60 teams. Can someone confirm or shoot down my understanding.

[Desverger]

I did the recruit a friend for the purpose of power leveling alts with my holy paladin.

Here is how it went:

Account A - full account with Holy paladin
Account B - linked to A with lowbie warrior

In SFK with the lowbie at level 10 the lowbie would not get triple XP from being linked to the paladin. Both characters apparently need to be capable of receiving XP for the link to work for triple mob XP. I have not tried with quest XP. Ok so I need another lowbie.

Account A - full account with Holy paladin
Account B - full account linked to A with lowbie warrior
Account C - trial account linked to B with lowbie priest

In SFK, @ level 10 on both lowbies, the priest would get triple XP but the warrior only received normal XP. I guess the game is counting the link to the paladin first and negating the link to the priest for the warrior. Grrrr. Need to xfer the pally to a new account.

Account A - full account with Holy paladin (not linked to B or C)
Account B - full account pally's original account with lowbie priest
Account C - full account linked to B with lowbie warrior

Sweet success. Bumpin the instance per hour cap in SFK. One clear to Fenrus (all one pull) = 1 level per lowbie. SM cath clear (2 pulls) = 1 level per lowbie. The net result is that both lowbies are at level 40 with ~9 hours played.

Ok, so in the few weeks that I have spent lurking this website I have learned two things....

1.) Boxers are genius

2.) Boxers are impatient with idiots



so, with the hope that I dont piss anyone off, I submit a noob question

I want to box on a single maching and I want to take advantage of the RAF benefits. Do I have to buy/install the client multiple times on my one computer? or do I simply have to register each account and open the client multiple times? I read all of the Q&A here

and it was never answered

Any clarification would be a big help. Thanks!

[Naysayer]

buy/install the client multiple times on my one computer OR simply buy and register each account and open the client multiple times (this is what I do).


Also, do some research on RAF linking accounts so that you know which way is best for you and you don't screw up and have to buy more accounts.

There are people who do it with the same client directory but, I've had problems with this. Your Mileage may vary.

Can anyone confirm this? I didn't think there was a cap on free levels (beyond max level = donator level or 60, whichever comes first)?

[Hachoo]

Well you only get 29 levels total if you level someone from 1-60...

I can confirm after leveling 3 clones all linked to my main account, I granted the following levels:

24->60 - paladin
34->60 - priest
53->60 - mage

So you can definitely grant levels all the way to 60 and you can definitely grant more than 29 levels to a character, just that the character you're granting FROM can't have more than 29 levels to grant -I had to grant all those levels across all 3 of my clones.

[Sinnocence]

...

Thanks very much! That clears things up. Have boosted a few alts so far this week, nearly had a fit when I read his post :D

[Rudi89]

Personal experience (we should have a RaF tab in the Wiki I would think):

Vet Mage -> 59.9
Vet Priest -> 32.9
Friend Druid -> 60.1

Vet Shammie -> 59.9
Vet Shammie2 -> 32.9
Friend Pally -> 60.1

Friend Druid grants 1 level to Vet Mage (to 60.9), 28 levels to Vet Priest (to 60.9).

Friend Pally grants 1 level to Vet Shammie (to 60.9), 28 levels to Vet Shammie2 (to 60.9).

This worked fine, ending up with:

Mage 60.9
Priest 60.9
Druid 60.1
Shammie 60.9
Shammie2 60.9
Pally 60.1

[Heenan]

This is my plan, which I'll be able to test this weekend:

Main unlinked account: 70 Pally
Alt account 2 invited RAF account 4
Alt account 3 invited RAF account 5

Pally is boosting a team of 4 shaman, and a team of 2 mages/locks. When they are both at 60, accounts 4 & 5 will be able to grant accounts 2 & 3 58 levels respectively. I will then power up 2 more sets of teams to 30 and gift accounts 2 & 4 to 60. This will give me 10 more 60s in a very short period of time.

So, in less than a few weeks I have several full teams with good rotation toons:
Pally, 3 Mages, Priest
Pally, 4 Shaman
Warrior, Hunter, Druid, Rogue (can sub these in to make things interesting)

That's not counting the extra toons that were used to get certain ones to 60. And there is plenty of time to level more teams up (also working on a DK team, thinking DK, 3 Locks, Priest, or something).

RAF :love:

I was wondering If I have this correct or at least have a hand on what I'm trying to accomplish with this whole Multiboxing Venue.

Total Number of Accounts: 4

I currently have a veteran account (A) & I want to start 3 new accounts along with it. So from my understanding, all I need to do is:

- Send a RAF email from account (A) to account ((B) then from (B) to (C) then from (C) to Account (D)? In theory I can create all Level 1's & they will all have the RAF benefits.

- Now by doing this, wouldn't I be granting all the accounts, but Account (D) a free month, free mount as well due to recruiting someone?

- Also I was thinking, would it be easier to boost through quests or Instances? Becuase I was thinking I could have my girlfriend run us 4 through instances & since she is a Level 70, would disqualify us from getting the RAF bonus benefits?

- This is a important question, I was wondering if I use the same email address for my accounts? I know you can use the same billing address, billing name (for multiboxing purposes) & etc, but wondering if I can use the same email as well.

- When granting levels to other characters, Can (B) only grant levels to (A) since (A) recruited (B) or can (B) grants levels to (A)-(C)-(D) as well?

Sorry for such odd or I guess noob questions, I just rather do this right the first time then have to get a headache from doing something wrong. Thanks for the help in advance.

[Falkor]

just like to add something to this regarding the unique mount.
you need to either add 2x 1month subscriptions in which case you will get your mount in 3months time "30days trial + 2months" or you purchase 3months subscription and wait till the 30day trial expires to get your mount.

This is currently why most people are missing out on the mount because of blizzards strange wording.

The above has been confirmed by 2 in-game GM's :)

Just send out all your referals from your main account then for every 2levels your refered "linked" accounts get you have 1level to give away per char.
So for example heres a setup:

Account A (MAIN) refers 2players
Account B&C (REFERED) level up together to level 60
Account B&C then have 60levels to give away meaning you can create a level 60 char on your main account!!

Hope this makes sense if it dosnt I'll re-write lots of examples since ive experimented with all of this and had lots of little chats with GM's :)

[aurelieshagwell]

I'm just going to be lazy and ask rather than give myself a headache trying to work it out. Basically...

Main Acc 1 - lvl 1 char - I want it to 60 without playing it

Main acc 2 - have a level 30ish char, i want it to get 30 free levels

I also want 3 new characters (which I then want to transfer from these basic accounts to 3 different TBC accounts when they hit 60, I gather I can do this without buying the expansion on the new accounts as the destination accounts already have the expansion)

New Acc 3 - Activated by acc 1 (giving main account 1 30 levels)

New Acc 4 - Activated by acc 1 (giving main account 1 30 levels)

New Acc 5 - Activated by Main acc 2 (giving main account 2 30 levels)

OK... this part made sense. The bit I DON'T get is the partying. Since I have no intention of playing Main acc 1 or Main acc 2, can I get the 300% exp bonus in a group with new accounts 3, 4 and 5? Or would accounts 3 & 4 have to be grouped with main account 1 in order to activate the bonus? And Account 5 with Main account 2?

*head explodes

Or would accounts 3 & 4 have to be grouped with main account 1 in order to activate the bonus? And Account 5 with Main account 2?

*head explodesIn order to get the 300% bonus, both the referrer and referee need to be in the group. If group 3-4-5 are all referred by one of account 1 or 2, then they won't get any bonus together.

Why would you buy three new accounts and not 5-box with your original 2? What's your final goal with all of this if not to have a 5-box group?

[aurelieshagwell]

ta. thats what i thought. sigh.

there'd be no point in using accounts 1 and 2 because they'd get the free levels off 3, 4 and 5. Not really much of a point levelling with 5 when you can do it with 3 and get the 2 additionals levelled for free and not steal exp off the 3 chars levelling.

Ok, if i were to do what I said above, i.e. 1 invites 3&4 and 2 invites 5, with me playing 3,4,5 and not playing 1 & 2, I presume would still get 60 levels to allocate into account 1 and 30 into account 2? I'd simply get no 300% exp bonus?


So basically I have to have 1 invite 2, 2 invite 3, 3 invite 4 and 4 invite 5? If I then at some point drop account 1 from the group, account 2 will still get 300%exp as it is linked to account 3? Thus allowing me to drop all but account 5 from the group at level 41 using the free levels they accumulate to get them to 60?

With RAF most of the exp will be coming from quest turnins so 3 or 5 doesn't make a huge difference. Is your end goal to have a 5-box group? Depending on what you want class-wise, what I would do is 5-box a group of shaman up to 60 with your original setup. Use the grant levels to get a paladin on account 1 to tank for you, and the other 30 on account 2 for whatever class that is you want to get to 60.

Then once level 10, invite my girlfriends 70 mage & let her boost us all to 60 & grants level then start it all over again. Think I might do this til I get a all shaman team, a priest warlock team, & a all rogue team & maybe all druid team. Biggest thing I am looking forward to is getting my pally that is in the 40's to 60 woohoo.

[neonpawns]

so
A invites B
B invites C
C invites D
D invites E

and now wich ones do you play, and wich ones do you let leach the RAF?
is there a time limit on how long RAF will be available?

You play all 5 accounts & they all get the 300% XP increase; & accounts B-E can grant levels. Also if you do the two-month thing then A-D get mounts I believe. RAF last 90 days from the day the account is started w/ the RAF email link. RAF ends once any character is level 60.

[aurelieshagwell]

Correct, with your original setup you'd get the free levels but no exp bonus.

With the 1->2->3->4->5 setup you'd get the 300% exp bonus for playing 3/4/5 together, but A1 wouldn't get any free levels and A2 would only get 30.

Use the grant levels to get a paladin on account 1 to tank for you, and the other 30 on account 2 for whatever class that is you want to get to 60.
I already have a 5 box. I have a pally fully levelled and a warrior who is most of the way there on one account. I was considering levelling 4 warlocks - i have spriests atm - for a bit of variety. I'd need to get 3 of them to 40 and one to 60 to get them all to 60 by chaining the invites.

Does mouse pass work properly in key clone yet?

with 4 dps linked chars would you not be better off doing without the 70? apart from the instances, youll be able to kill mobs and do quests just as quickly without the 70 and get full exp.

Then once level 10, invite my girlfriends 70 mage & let her boost us all to 60 & grants level then start it all over again.

It seems the logic way; I'm just trying to find the best/fastest way to level a group; I want to have 4 x shamans, priest, warlocks, rogue, druids, so I want to use the RAF so much Blizzard would rethink this system.

Personal experience (we should have a RaF tab in the Wiki I would think):

...
I am trying to talk myself out of doing this now that I have 2 weeks left until my scroll of resurrection accounts are no longer receiving free months...While reading this post I am going to second this idea and "got all crazy" and created the RAF wiki. Be bold post how you went from 0,1,2,3,4,5,...accounts to 1,2,3,4,5,...accounts:

I want to make sure I have this right before I commit. If I have my main account A and A refers B and A refers C then C refers D, A(x2)/B/C get mounts and I can boost a char to 60 on A.

A>B
A>C>D

Ax2 mount
B/Cx1mount each
A=Boost to 60x1

B won't get a mount - that account isn't being referred by someone.

ok, i saw around page 3 were it said that you can't gain the bonus xp if monsters con trivial to one of the raf accounts but...

what if i do this...
account 1-
account 2-recruit 3/4/5
use account 1 which has not recruited any of the new accounts to run them through instances. are they getting the double xp or not here?

thanks in advance :)

[Smoooth]

Yes, that is the standard setup to boost with. You won't be getting double XP, you will be getting triple XP :D
