What is the best method in which to get the most XP when starting up new accounts in which I will use for Multi-boxing?

Specifically........ how to use the RAF in which to get the max xp on all my accounts till lvl 60.
I would like to add 4 (new) accounts using the RAF and all being referred from my single account. Is this permissible?

Can I simply create 4 new accounts under my existing email address or does each account have to have to utilize a separate email address.

Any guidance on this issue would be appreciated.


Thanx
Zyxx

Yes you can use the same e-mail, name, etc when making your RAF accounts.

As far as how it works, it's simple, all of your toons must be in a group and as long as the quest you are doing and the creatures you are killing are either green, yellow, orange, or red, you will get 3x's the XP for kills and quest.

Edit*

Fastest way to lvl to 60 is to have someone run you through dungeons.

When you say run through dungeons is that simply you tagging the mobs and high level friend leaving party and killing ?
I'm interested in finding a very fast way to take advantage of the 3 times Exp and having a high level friend willing to help..

No just a normal run, or having a higher lvl run you through.

If you plan on doing 5 accounts at once and using your Main to run them through, then link the 4 new accounts to each other not your Main, otherwise they will not get the 3x's XP.

But if you are going to lvl 5 together then you would want at least 1 linked to your main.

Example: I leveled 3 toons, so I had my wife run me through dungeons on her 80. This gives a ton of xp, even having an 80 plow through the dungeon.

Ok... Ideally I'd like to level 5 at the same time, however having someone run me though some instances would require leaving one of my 5 out, thus I could just rotate them all through at some point, correct? That way I could just leave the 4 new accounts linked to my main and I'd still get 3x XP.

You could do that, remember also you can just have a friend plow you through, then grant the levels to the one that's left out. The recruited one(s) is/are the only one(s) that can grant levels to the recruiter(s).

Does having your level 80 plough through the dungeon give you exp without you hitting the mob first?
And if not I would guess you'd want to do this in dungeons with mobs that are red to your leeching toon ?

As long as the the 4 toons that are leveling, are somehow recruited to each other, it makes no difference. I had an 80 priest take me through DM, Stocks, SM, and Strat. No exploiting, ie leaving/joining party, just a fast run, aoe, nuke through.

Depending on MY lvl, I would get 3/4 to 2 full Levels per run, this includes, an 80 running me through Deadmines.

Example, at lvl 10 you would get 2 lvls a run, through DM. As you level, it wil go down, but it is way faster then questing, by a long shot.

Edit*
I got to 60 in less than 2 days played, and that was longer than it should've taken, because I did not always have someone to run me through.

Also wanted to clear this up, If an 80 is running you through, you DO NOT want the RAF depending on the 80, the leveling toons must be RAF'd with each other, not the 80 or you will NOT get the 3x's XP.

If your own 80 is going to be running your new accounts through, then set it up like this:
Original account recruits>Alt account1 and Alt account 2, Alt account1 recruits>Alt3, and Alt account 2 recruits>Alt4

This way Alt 1 and 2 can grant lvls to Original Account. (at lvl 60 that would be 30 lvls per account to grant = 60 lvls to grant to Original Account, ie the one left out)

This will also work if someone else, like a friend, is the 80. Just leave the Original Account out, and after Alts1 & 2 reach 60, you can grant 30 lvls per acount to Original Account for a total 60 lvls in 60 sec.

Hope this helps and is not too confusing.

Thanks for the reply however when I tested yesterday it seemed as if the low levels did not take a slice of the exp whent he 80 killed it, here is how im set up;
- Char1 recruited Char2 - both level 20
- Friends account - lvl 80 totally seperate account nothing to do with RAF
- All in one party with the lowbies sitting at entrance whilst the 80 goes off killing

I could be wrong but im pretty sure they lowbies didn't take any exp from the few mobs i killed :/

You need to kill the mobs, near to where the alts are standing for them to get creditted with xp. I have boosted 2 alts all the way up to lvl 51(so far) using my 80 hunter. In lower lvl dungeons i get my pet to go around and tag as many mobs in the dungeon as i can, then call him back to me at the start of the instance. I stand about 10 yards in front of the alts and AoE everything down. The alts gain about a level per dungeon clear on average. The alts are currently at about 20hrs /played at lvl 51.

Currently doing Strat to level them, which is a bit more tricky with my hunter. I just chain pull everything and have the 2 alts follow me. Might try Scholo soon for some variation.

As Slash said, you have to pull groups back to the alts, to get XP, if you leave the alts at door and the 80 is too far ahead, you won't get anything.
