Going from 2->5 with recruit a friend

Well that seals the deal then. I'm going to transfer three toons onto new accounts and link 'em up.

The toons are only lvl 30, but their tradeskills are where they need to be and they have great gear. Wouldn't want to do that all over again so it's worth it to me to just transfer them.

Thanks badashh

No problem, I came to that conclusion too. I think leveling tradeskills 1-300 will take more effort than leveling 1-60.

I haven't read all post, but I just wanted to warn you all so you don't make the same mistake as me.

I made 3 new accounts via "recruit a friend". The first 2 are linked to my main account. The 3rd one is linked to the 1st newly created one. I didn't really think this through, so don't ask me why I did it like that :)

Toon3

When I started boosting my new Toons with my lvl70 Priest I noticed only Toon3 getting the experience bonus. So boosting doesn't work for the Toons that are linked to the Booster.
I had to make a new toon on my main account to level together with the 3 others. This works fine, but wasn't what I had in mind ofcourse.
It took me 3 days to get to lvl30, only to see me getting surpassed by another multi-boxer on my realm in a few hours. :)

Yeah, from what I hear, an account can only be a veteran or a recruit, but not both.

So if you do Bob refers John, and John refers Dave, then John won't get the bonus if he's grouped with Bob and Dave at the same time. In fact, I think only Dave gets the bonus in that situation.

I bought 2 new accounts to go along with my other 2.

Account 1 not linked

Account 2 referred -> acct 3 who referred ->acct4

I did this so i could boost with Acct 1 and all the lowbies get 3x experience. I can confirm that this works, and works well.

So in this case Acct 3 is a veteran and a recruit. And actually you can give levels BOTH ways. That is to the referrer and to the Noob account. I didn't know you could do it to the Noob account before.

Did you use same email address for each invite?

also thinking of going from 5 accunts to 8 (limit of hardware)

this will allow me to level 4 new toons and boot them from any of the other three accounts.

should be a good way to get toons to 60 , fast

:)

I used the exact same information for every account. Don't want to violate any TOS. :)

I stand corrected. :D

Another question....

I know the recruit can give one level for every two they gain to the veteran, can I give those levels to toons higher than 60? For example, on account Ryan I have a 65 warrior and a 30 paladin, account Bob has a 30 mage. For every two levels the mage gets, can I give the free level to my 65 warrior?

No you cannot gift higher than 60.

Question for those in the know: Once my first group of 5 hits 60 and I lose 3X xp, do these accounts forever lose the 3x experience (if I want to level another group) or is that only lost after the 90 day point?
