This question should be fairly simple to answer. I wish I had researched this a bit more before creating and activating my RAFs, but it's a bit late for that now, so I will keep this short and simple.

I have my main account (account A, level 85 Prot Paladin) who is boosting RAF accounts B, C, D and E through dungeons all the way to 78 and possibly 80. My question is, would the following be a correct assumption for optimal experience gains, or would 5-boxing all 10x characters be faster?

Account B, C, D, E

Level 4x characters to level 80 as a group through 5-boxing.

Account B, C

Level 2x characters to level 46 as a group through 5-boxing. (with D, E accounts)

Receive 34 level grants on 2x level 46 characters.

Receive 79 level grants on 4x level 1 characters.

Account D, E

Level 2x characters to level 46 as a group through 5-boxing. (with B, C accounts)

Level 6x characters to level 80 as a group through 3-boxing.

~~~~~

TL;DR: Will 3-boxing 2x RAF accounts be faster than 5-boxing 4x RAF accounts through boosting, when considering level grants to accounts B, C?

If the above is confusing, please feel free to ask questions for clarification. Thanks!

Thanks in advance!

The above is confusing me this morning and we also have no idea in what order you recruited your accounts.

Three boxing (booster + two) will be faster for the two accounts, than five boxing (booster + four)...
But if you want to end up with a full team, you're better off doing all of them together.

Kills is shared credit, whether you level one, two or four.
Collections or ground spawn will be longer, the more toons you go with.

Thanks. To clarify, I will have a full team of 50x level 80+ by the end of the RAF period. My goal is to be as efficient as possible. If I can 3-box acct A and D + E to 80 with 10x characters and level grant to accts B + C for 4x level 80s and the last few dozen levels on 2x other characters, I'd prefer to do that if it will take less time than 5-boxing all 10x characters to 80.

I wasn't sure if the experience share was a significant factor in saving time by running overall less dungeons than 5-boxing.

Does that help clear the fog from my first post?
