How to setup a RAF account chain?

Well here I am writing another n00bthread about multiboxing, last time I got nice help so I thought I woul ask one more time :)

This is probably one of the most discussed things on this forum and its very depending on yourself though I would like some tips, advantages and downsides with different examples.

What its all about is how to setup a RAF account chain, this time for 4 accounts.
Though I already have one account with 70-80 chars (almost a must have b4 multiboxing i think lol) but that chars is Horde and Im rerolling Alliance with my friends and to maybe find some other multiboxers :)

That means I have one old account with chars that means nothing for my new multiboxing (gamestyle) but of course i would like to use my own account when recruiting.

Lets call the account I got (WITHOUT any booster!) for W just because it isnt confusable with ABCD...

So chall I recruit like:
W invites B
W invites C
W invites D
Then I will get 3 month of free gameplay on account W if im not wrong? (When activating WoW + TBC)
All chars will get 3x Exp ?
Account B,C and D will be able to give levels to account W = about 76 levels to grant to account W? (not more than to lvl60 per char though)
That means that if I level up another char (that is now a mulyibox char but still on account W on same server as them) to about 30 and then grant him 30 levels and then I would also be able to grant a level 1 char to 60 on account W = after levelling 4 multiboxing chars to 59, I would almost be able to get 2x 59 chars only by levelling one of them to about level 30?


Or I can use the Cascade trick (that I read at:

Code:

)
Which shortly means that:
W invites B
B invites C
C invites D

Then B can grant levels to W, C to B, D to C.
Only account D cant get grants then, but can still grant C of course.
Then if you could keep doing collect quests or cloth turnins on account D only, that char would stay one level above the other accounts because it still gets the 3x Exp aswell of course, then when example all chars at level 30 and account D dings 31, he can grant C, which then can grant B which then can grant W.
This will result in a very efficent levelling, though, no free 60 chars when you are done with the multiboxers.
But it gives Zevra mount on all accounts except account D ?
It gives 1 extra month to all accounts except D instead of giving 3 months to account W only?

Is there any other important factors that plays a big roll when choosing how to link the chain? What do you use and why? What should I choose in your opinion and why? ;)

Hopefully this thread will be useful for anyone else than me but i think it will since this is not the easiest decition to make, the easiest was about starting to multibox ;)
(Reason why I havent started yet is because the CPU to my new computer is delayed :/

lol come on, 100+ reads and no answers ?!?

Just tell me what you are using and why...

Please :)

option 2 is better if you want to spread the wealth of levels around to your other accounts. option 1 will really be useful to make a lot of 60s on one account. for multiboxing purposes, if you like to experiment with different teams of different class configurations, i would go with option 2 (W -> B -> C -> D).

note also with option 2, this is the only way, if you so decide to make another team quickly, to boost via instance runs apart from asking a friend to run you through. i suggest making a pally or druid as your first tank. with the pally or druid, you'll be able to instance boost any other team if you find that you dread leveling through the 30s. i know i did.

now if i understand you. your going to have 4 accounts. 3 in a multibox setup and 1 old account you will boost them with right?

well if the level are too high then that means no RAF bonus.

if W invites A and boosts then A gets no RAF as too high level difference.
if W invites B and boosts even with A in group ( A and B are not linked) then B gets no RAF as too high level difference
again with C

However if you have W invite A
A invites B linking them together. then A and B get RAF when together even when boosted. so if you want RAF you have to have 1 refer the other not the boosting account refer them all.

hope this helps you with your questions. if not or you have any others reply here or PM me and ill try help some more.

Thanks alot for the answers, especially elsegundo's answer since I will not have a booster when starting ally multiboxing, which i will. Really helpful posts and now I think I know which option to choose (Number 2) since it will be nice for draggin up multibox teams. (Which is what i want) =)

And if I then would like alot of 60, then I could aswell level a multibox group of 4 chars where everyone is a different class, will be hard at first to control but if onlny using dps spells and abilitys it should be no problems. Then I would have 4 different classes in 60 instead of 2x almost free 60 that I would have in option one. =)

Thanks alot ^^

good luck and keep us posted! its always nice to hear new success storys from people on here.

yea enjoy the 90 days of mayhem!
