Fastest RAF method for 5 boxers

[Sam DeathWalker]

Main Account with high level - a - b - c - d - e. You will now have 6 accounts total.

Use main account to instance boost b/c/d/e.

Stop At level 30 use main account to boost d/e to 60.

Grant from e to new toon on d making a level 30.

Transfer level 30 from d to "a"

Result a/b/c level 30 d/e level 60

Grant levels, bingo all are 60.

And you get to grant 15 levels from "a" to old account.

Wont work Sam, all the RAF'ers need to be in the same level range for the Experiance boost to be "enabled".

[Sam DeathWalker]

b/c/d/e start at level 1 and get instance boosted to 30 at the same time (they are same level)

d/e at 30 are instance boosted together at the same time to 60 (they are same level)

Who is not at the same level?

[razorbax]

A is level 80 or 70 or whatever? If A is linked with B C D E, Raf wont work. A must not be linked and it will work fine, though your A Level Granting wont hold true.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Main account is level 80. A is a new account with nothing on it.

You have an old account with level 80 on it. You make 5 new accounts "a" "b" "c" "d" "e". You will have 6 accounts total.

Old account is not linked to b/c/d/e.

Your old account might not have the class you want on it for when you make yur new 5 box team.

I added a line about 6 account in the OP to clarify.

[razorbax]

If a is not present in the group, b will not get raf bonus......

[Sam DeathWalker]

B is linked to C.

I've used similar method with my 5 shaman team and 5 druid team.

You can grant only 29 levels if you are 60 though,
- level the first team to 30.99 if you want to have all exactly 60
- or level them to 31.99 and you end with 3x60.99 and 2x60

also you should level the new toon on account d to 1.99 at least.

I granted all the levels in Orgrimmar before AH at once (that was lot of fun) ... "plzzz, tell me the cheat code" :D

[Sam DeathWalker]

Correct.

[razorbax]

Cant see the flaw but i know its there....

Though Lok's method works.

Main Account with high level
Which high level character you have (experience with) ?

Uh ???



The fastest way is to 5 man quest to 60, you should try it some day... after you actually reach some sort of level cap maybe you can advise other people on how to get there... instead of theory crafting...

[Sam DeathWalker]

Instance boosting ("not working as intended") is faster then Questing, sry.

Also the beauty of my method is that that from 30-60 you only need to instance boost TWO toons, not four or five. So exp is about double from 30-60 for the two as compared to four.

You cannot quest 5 toons from level 30-60 FASTER then instance boosting TWO toons from level 30-60, with a level 70 or 80.

My point I guess is I got 2 full teams plus a bunch of others toons > level 60, easily in 3 months of raf questing and most of your characters are in the low 40s after 2 RAFs so I don't think anything you can say about "fastest method" has any value. Though I guess I just got bait'ed again by your flame bait/attention whoring post... my bad

In short, anyone can get to 60 faster than you. period. But maybe if instead of posting ramblings you'd quest to 60 you'd finally learn a tiny bit of the game...

[LokNarash]

You cannot quest 5 toons from level 30-60 FASTER then instance boosting TWO toons from level 30-60, with a level 70 or 80.He can really just quest level 2 in range 30-60 and then grant levels to rest of team same way like you do, no matter how you level.

Main Account with high level - a - b - c - d - e. You will now have 6 accounts total.

Use main account to instance boost b/c/d/e.

Stop At level 30 use main account to boost d/e to 60.

So, you have 0(0)-30(15)-30(15)-60(30)-60(30) in a-b-c-d-e.


Grant from e to new toon on d making a level 30.

Transfer level 30 from d to "a"

Ok, so now it's: 30(0)-30(15)-30(15)-60(30)-60(0)


Result a/b/c level 30 d/e level 60

Correct!


Grant levels, bingo all are 60.

Looks like, best case scenario is 45-45-60-60-60.


And you get to grant 15 levels from "a" to old account.

No, you can't grant boosted levels. Gotta earn them big guy, but you could just boost the last 2 (45s) up to 60.

[Sam DeathWalker]

I am under the impression that you can grant levels that you gained by any means, including having those levels granted to you.

When has that not been the case?

Ya he can quest up 2 also, thats true.

As to questing vs. boosting:

Questing vs. Boosting
Mercurio's Alliance Boosting 4 Toons with a 70 vs. Leveling 5 at once

Leveling 5 at once: 0-60 in 2 days, 4 hours /played
Boosting 4 toons with a 70: 0-60 in 16 hours, 2 minutes /played

Details of boosting:
1-15: Boosted other 4 with my 70 hunter for run speed boost (questing)
16-20: Stockades boosting with my 70 pally
20-45: SM Cath with my 70 pally (tried ZF, Temple, SM was still way faster from 40-45)
45-59.98: Strat undead side with my 70 pally
59.98 - 60.98: granted one level from 2 of my 4 boostees (after dinging them 60 seperately) to the other two

You gain more exp on each individual toon by having more people in a group when power leveling with an 80(/70/high level character) in group, so you may as well level all 4 to 60. I haven't personally verified if this is true since 3.0, but it's not like Sam tested his theory either. Aside from the added costs of doing this compared to a more standard approach this is the only reason to not use this method.

You can grant 30 levels from one character. I have personally done this using my own raf and it is said in the official faq.
I have also read that you can grant from gifted levels, but I haven't verified this either personally or with an official source.
Aside from the few gifted levels from A to original, is there any reason they need to be linked?
When you transfer a toon you lose all of the levels they could have granted. This is from the official faq. There isn't any problem with this, I just thought I'd mention it in case someone was wondering.

I have 1 day 3 hours and change on my first attempt at boosting to 60 with raf, and this was not even close to an ideal method. Mercurio's 16 hours looks like a good time to try to beat if you want to try to start saying questing is faster than boosting, but then again this was with a 70 and it might be less now.

Information doesn't change based on who it's from. Sam may be horrible at leveling but that doesn't change whether his advice on the subject is good or bad.

[Svpernova09]

No attention whoring or posting pure flamebait. Once you've actually RAF'd a team (or more) to a respectable level (60+), then maybe you can start giving advice the general community would find useful, until then you're posting nothing new and only trying to draw attention to yourself.
