RAF With Existing Accounts

[countdown]

Good Day,

I recently have decided to start multi-boxing again, yay! I currently have 2 accounts both with 5 level 85+ toons, both having 2 tanks each. I really enjoy questing and levelling new characters, plus all that questing XP will level my personal guild quickly too, currently level 7. I definitely want to level 5 at a time. I would also like to try and pvp with 5, and do daily's with 5 at a time as well. The more I've read about RAF options the more confusing it has become for me, it's been a long week...

What would be the better option for me with the RAF setup? I like the idea of questing, but would not mind being able to boost when necessary. Would merging 5 new accounts onto my battle.net email address in anyway remove the RAF links? I'd like to keep them under the same address, that way I can take advantage of some of the mounts I've collected.

I do apologize if this subject has been beaten to death. Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Well if you have 2 accounts....then you only need to buy 3 accounts. Just Raf them.

You can raf with the same battlenet acct. Thats not an issue. Currently the fastest way to level with raf is by boosting to 80. If your gonna be leveling as 5, are you getting 4 new accts? Or are you going to raf from the 2 existing accts? The best way is to go with 4 new accts, and move anyone you want from the acct your not going to be using. Cheapest is use your existing two with 2 new accts chained to 1 acct, and one new acct chained to the other.

This is what I did two years ago A > C > E and B > D. Gives you the option of boosting with account A or levelling up legit groups of five.

OK, so I think I will pay to move all my level 85+ toons to one account. That way I will have one account with all classes 85+ (monk is only 65 right now). So I will need to get 4 new accts.


Would A>B>C and A>D>E be the best setup?


Thanks again for the help.

If you go with the dual chain:
A > B > C
A > D > E

You end up with a lot of toons on A, from granted levels.
If for instance you boost four sets of toons on BCDE, with A...

You end up with:
A x6 +Booster
B/D x6
C/E x4

For the cascade granted levels to stack correctly, you don't boost a level 1 character but instead of level 2 or 3.
You get 39 levels to grant, when you boost/level a toon from 1st to 80th.
39x2 = 78 +2 = 80th.

So ideally, you boost a level 2, who is 99.99% into their level.
So they'll be 99.99% into level 80, once the level granting is done.
But if you ding to 3rd, no big deal... level almost to 4th.



If you're doing transfers anyway, I'd be moving toons to the last accounts in your chains.
Namely, accounts C and E.
If you want Paladins across the board, and already have one elsewhere...
You could transfer one to C or E, and use granted levels for the other accounts... you'd be one Paladin out, unless you had two to transfer initially...

Ualaa is that a macro you have, or you just copy and paste from a notepad doc :)

This is what I ended up going with. Thanks to all for the advice and help.
