    Your RAF chains are:
    A > B
    A > C

    Therefore AB have to both fulfill the RAF conditions for them to get the RAF bonus.
    And AC have to likewise for both of those toons to get the bonus.

    If you meet the AB requirements but not the AC requirements.
    The AB characters still get triple experience because of RAF.

    If you were to boost AB with a level 85 toon on C.
    AB would still get 3x the experience, but AC would not.

    When you kill mobs with AB (who are say level 3's), you might get 35 experience per kill on each toon.
    If you are grouped with C who is much higher level, you might only get 5 experience per kill.
    But C can run along spamming Arcane Explosion and one-shot a dozen mobs at once.
    And you can have AB on auto follow, clearing out huge areas very rapidly.
    While you only get 5 exp per kill, you are killing 20x as fast for say 3x as much experience per hour.

    Boosting normally refers to instances, because instances are full of elites which are worth a lot more experience and are still very easy for a higher level to kill.
    Where you park the lower toons near the zone in point.
    Clear a bunch of the instance, and then either move the toons up or exit and reset the instance.

    But you can boost quests just as easily.
    The lowbies will receive 3x the turn in rewards, even if the higher level guy killed the mobs while they looted the armor scraps or whatever.

    I thought about doing instances. I don't have any experience with them. I did some searching and couldn't even figure out how to get into an instance to solo it. I'm assuming I wouldn't be queuing for them.

    I wish my booster was a mage but it is a moonkin. That will be ok for questing but I don't know about using it for boosting instances since the moonkin doesn't have good AoE and is slow.
