Hello,
I'm assuming most of people here leveling up with RAF benefits, which include summon a friend feature once every hour. I would like to highlights all the creative ways to use these to your advantage. Please share more if you can think of any. I'm mostly dual-boxing, so I don't know if these scenarios can be extended to 3, 4, or 5 boxing.
1. Fast long distance transportation. Say on account A you have high level main X, lowbie Y and on account B you have lowbie Z. Y and Z are questing together, and they need to move from ashenvale to hillsbrad, and they don't have silverpine flightpaths. To save the long walk:
A hearths to shatt/dalaran, takes portal to UC, flies to hillsbrad
A summons Z
A logs out, Y logs in.
Z summons Y.
What if Z's summon is on cooldown? Create a level 1 character on account B, named W.
A summons W
W summons Y
Y summons Z.
Any of your level 1 bank toons can help with these summons too.
Also, if there's a mage in your group with sufficient portal spells, you can be even more creative
2. double hearths
with Y and Z having summons and hearths, they can take turn hearthing and summoning, this way you can hearth once every 30 mins
3. Creating a bank alt quickly
Create a level 1 toon
level 1 toon summoned to IF or OG
level 1 toon sets his hearth there
level 1 toon can then help with chain-summons as outlined in step 1 above.
4. Training "hops"
I know that due to numbers in your group, you don't really need to train every other level. Training every 4 levels seems to work fine. However, if I decide that it's time to call the night, and both summons are up, I can do the following:
Y hearths, trains skills
Z summons Y
Z hearths, trains skills
Y summons Z.
That way, Y and Z will be back where they were (in the middle of the questing field) and both have trained their latest skills. Because I'm done for the night, presumably the next time I log in, they'll both have summons again and can use 30 min hearth benefits.
I haven't really thought on how to extend this to 3 boxing, because certainly you won't have hearth every 20 mins or anything like that. But since now you can create many more level 1 toons to be summoned and stationed around the world, you can get creative and somehow build a networks of lowbies.
Seriously, I had a level 1 toon in Gromgol Base Camp and got a lot of whispers from ppl: how on earth did you get here and why?
