RAF confusion

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site and to multiboxing so I appreciate any and all help you guys can provide.

I've read the wiki page. I've searched the forums and I'm still not getting it...

Here's the scenario: I have two existing accounts, "X" and "Y." Both have been around for a while. My main toon is on X. He's a lvl 80 Alliance. Account X has a variety of alts of all levels. Account Y has a level 71 Horde and a lowbie alt alliance. I play on a Normal server, so I have mixed factions on each account. Both accounts are on the same server so I can 2-box.

As I understand the Boosting + linking scheme to create an 80+4 group I should:

1. Start game and log on to account Y
2. Create a new (or many) level 1 toon(s) on same server as X, exit game
3. Log on to worldofwarcraft.com and RAF from account Y to my email.
4. Go to my email, click a link and create a new account, A, using the 10-trail key and upgrade it to WotLK
5. Repeat steps 1-4, RAFing from A to B and from B to C.

At this point I'll have 4 "ACCOUNTS," not toons, that will each benefit from the 3x XP of RAF, while below level 60, and accounts Y, A, and B get a mount.

This is were I get confused.

So does that mean that all my alts on account Y, A, and B will receive a mount, including my 71 Horde, and get 3xXP for 90 days, if < lvl60? If so, should I create a bunch of level 1 alts on account Y, A, and B so that they all at least benefit from getting a mount before I RAF the next account?

I also understand that Y, A, B, or C WILL NOT get the 3xXP unless near to Y, thus Y has to always group with A, B, or C.

So now I can "Truck N' Trailer" Y, A, B, and C using account X through dungeons and at level 30.9999 grant 29 levels from A > B, B > C, and C > Y?

Is my understanding correct?

Thanks,

Alot of this is in the RAF FAQ but since I know it here is the quick and skinny

Mounts: Only one character per account can get the mount, so you have to choose which one.
Granting Levels: Can only be done to characters that are of a lower level, so if your refered characters are level 60 they can grant 30 levels each to make any other character up to 60. But if you only get 4 of them to level 30, they will have 15 levels each but only be able to make a character up to level 30 (You could get two level 30s this way though).
Boosting a RAF: Not entirely possible the way you wuold think. I have a 5 accounts A and B are original accounts. I liked account C with A. I was unable to play a high level char on account A to get the RAF bonus on account B, I had to start over and keep the characters VERY close in level (2 away is too far, I think even one away is pushing it for the gaps). I have since added in accounts D and E (D linked to B and E linked to D) so that I can have a group of 5 noobs all at the same level running together (Which is what I am happily doing now)

In all honesty, If you are just getting into Multiboxing and RAFing them at the same time like I am I would recommend starting from scratch on all of them. I know you have a high level as I do that could run 4 of the lower accounts through their quests pretty quick but you are already getting ahuge boost in power cause you are multiboxing and a huge boost in XP cause of the RAF. start as noobs, level em all at the same time, so you max out your time in RAF. You will have a level 60 plus be able to be granted a level 60/30 ... It will give you more with the time you have.
