I recently started multiboxing with RaF, and got a shaman and a warlock up to level 9 through questing. I took them both and my 80 priest to RFC, where I intended to instance boost. The preist is linked to the warlock, and the warlock is linked to the shaman. The problem is, when I round up a group of enemies to kill, the experience earned is tiny. Less than if I was killing non-elites and without the 3x bonus. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a ton
Your doing it wrong. Booster account cannot be linked to the boosted account. Your two new accounts should be linked together and that's it. For it to work the way you have it set up. All 3 accounts need toons near the same level. Your 80 is breaking the raf rules.
So if I use my third account (linked to my second, which is linked to my main) to recruit a friend, will I be able to boost with the third and fourth accounts?
This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't the shaman and warlock be getting the bonus because they are linked to each other? The Priest shouldn't be getting anything, but that is normal.Quote:

i have: booster account linked to 40 warlock linked to 40 priest and they both get 300% xp
Have the account that is not linked to your priest, RAF a new account and the experience will be much more what you were expecting. I think there can only be something like a 4 level difference between your RAF characters to receive the triple xp. Boosting through instances actually goes pretty quickly once you get it down. I was about to get two Warlocks to 50 in about 20 hours /played.
I have my accounts linked A->B->C->D with A being a high level booster (73) and while boosting all the lower chars are getting 3x XP (according to combat logs) While the amount might not be as high if I wasnt using the booster, going through instances so fast they level 1.5 levels a run so far.
Starbuck's right, you want to only have your warlock and shaman linked. Fortunately this is easy to fix. Just log into your priest's account and terminate the link to the warlock early. You'll end up with:Quote:

Priest - Unlinked (perfect for boosting).
Lock referred Shaman (RAF Bonuses for the both of them when leveling together).
Wait a second,
so If you have 3 accounts
A is linked to B
and C is a level 80 char, (main account)
you can't boost A&B through instances if the paly is in the same party?
Because the level of the mobs is grey?
EDIT: found it by coincidence on wow forums, seems you can't do that
This has been discussed multiple times in other threads.
In a nutshell:
If you are looking to boost, you cannot have your group set up as follows:
A = Booster
B-E = Boostees
A -RAF-> B
A -RAF-> C
A -RAF-> D
A -RAF-> E
I believe when RAF first started, this used to work OK but Blizzard changed it.
However, you CAN do this and have it work:
A -RAF-> B -RAF-> C -RAF-> D -RAF-> E
The daisychain still preserves individual RAF links with the low levels, so they still all get 3X Experience.
Some people still leave out RAF on A and just daisychain B-E, and that works too, obviously.
Good that's what I thought. When my blood elf twins are 80 (prot pally, holy priest), I'm planning to RAF boost 4 additional 60's and would do this:
Main acct (A) hosts the prot pally
2nd account (B) will RAF in a 3rd account (C)
Create lowbies on (B) and (C)
(A) (B) and (C) form a party, the link between (B) and (C) will be active
So even though (A) is clearing the instance and doing all the killing as a level 80, (B) and (C) still earn triple XP because they're linked and the same level, amiright? I know they'll take a hit off the base XP because an 80 did the killing, but then they should have the triple XP bonus granted to the reduced XP hopefully still making it higher XP than normal, or at least normal XP but coming in alot faster because I'm clearing the instance in minutes instead of an hour...
