New Recruit a Friend Features

[kadaan]

It's easier to level from 1-10... Does that mean I can make 9 level 10's and 1 level 70 on each "refer a friend" account and gift 45 + 35 levels?

*evil grin*

Prolly wouldn't work unless I was gifting levels to characters < level 10.

Yeah, the target of the gifted level has to be lower than the source. So if you level 9 alts to level 10, you can't get free levels past 10.

Best use would be to use those levels for the the 50-60 (or 25-60, if you use them all for one alt).

I'm curious as to the interface. Is it something the friend has to do? Is it a credit the referer gets to use as they please?

Alright. On the level gifting front!

Recruit-A-Friend trial characters (continuing even after upgraded) will receive 1 free level for every 2 levels gained up until 70. This means, a "trial" character may successfully give away 35 levels. These levels may be stored up to 90 days, when the Recruit-A-Friend benefits expire.

With this, you may give all 35 levels away at once—all to one character, or to multiple different characters. A character may receive gifted levels up to level 60.

Hope that helps.

That means you could have 4 characters on the main account at lvl 1 and instantly get them to lvl 35 if you had 5 accounts and leveled them all at the same time and banked the levels. So not only are you leveling 3x faster to 60 than everyone, you also get 4 free lvl 35's.............AWESOME!

Scenario 1

Account #1: 70 Paladin, 53 Shaman.
Account #1 recruits Account #2.

Account #1 & #2 levels new toons from 1 to 14.

Accoutn #1 now has a banked 7 level-up gifts, and can apply that gift to Account #1, 53 Shaman to 60?

Sweet?!

Scenario 2

Account #1: 70 Booster + various alts.
Account #1 recruits Account #2.

Account #1: Level 1 TwinkGear with tradeable enchant items +pants, +spell Damage, Run Speed, and +Health/Spirit
Account #1 & #2 levels new toons from 1 to 20 in 2 hours.
Account #1 now has banked 10 level ups and gives it to a Level Up toon.

Account #1 & #2 deletes their lowbies levels up 2 more new toons from 1 to 20 in 2 hours.

Does Account #1 get to bank another 10 Level Up Gifts?
So his Level 70 can grant this to the Level Up Toon.

In theory, he can level up 1 to 60 in about 12 hours from Level Up Gifts?

I will be doing this at least with 1 account. I bought a whole battlechest for my 5th account, but I only needed TBC, so I have a spare cd key and some game cards that are just sitting here. I guess I will just level at least 2 toons, one on each account, and get a mount on my main account, along with 35 free levels (got a lvl 28 paladin and a lvl 19 warrior that sound like good candidates for free exp. I also always wanted a druid tank, so I will level up a druid on my main account with triple xp, and something else on my 6th account, and just xfer that toon off of that account after the 3 months game time is up.

I wish I hadn't started yet... I'd love to have 5 zhevra mounts, and 5x triple xp....

Imagine if the triple xp worked with Zolo (pre nerf). I could have gotten toons from lvl 35 to lvl 58 in like 3.5 hours lol Now THAT would be a cool leveling record.

No. The target of the free levels must be lower level than the source. If you level up to 14, you can give 7 levels to a character up to level 13. Once they hit 14 they are no longer eligible for free levels (till you level up.)

I think they f'uped the launch of this. Me and others in the wow forums had linked accounts from acct mgmt earlier today and now they arent linked. Also, there is no way to summon yet that I see and no in game icon or notice that one is getting the extra xp. The xp I was getting 20 min ago didnt seem triple the amount.

You can see my post in the forums asking about this.

So if you ever wanted to reroll, now is the time. Very interesting.

I am very temped to stray to a new server or make a new team suddenly.

So, the Account #1 lowbie will be the one who gains Level-Up Gifts?
I thought it was the whole Account #1, any character in there.

"The character cannot grant a level to a character equal to or higher than their own level."

also: "As listed, there's one caveat to the gifted levels: The (trial) character cannot grant a level to a (veteran) character equal to or higher than their own level. In order for your level 51 (n) shaman to receive a free level, the trial character must be at least 52 (n + 1). Provided levels cease at 60"

Provided levels cease at 60

It looks like Syndri rescinded this one -- you stop earning levels to gift to your referrer at 70, not 60.

Although, I believe you lose the XP bonus at 60 or 90 days (whichever comes first), so depending on how quickly you level, it may be more worthwhile to level a bunch of characters up to level 59 first.

So would this Scenario be valid:

Account 1: 70 Pally, 53 Shaman.
Account 2: is recruited by Account 1.

Account 2 is boosted by 70 in Account 1, not worrying about 3x xp.
When Account 2 hit 60, he can gift +7 levels to Account 1: 53 Shaman all the way to level 60.
Account 2 has 30 Level-Up Gifts. Used 7 so far.

Now Account 1 & 2 can level together from 60 to 63 @ 3x xp. Woot!

Account 1 & 2 now have level 63s.
Account 2 at level 63 can get 3x xp grouping with the level 70 of Account 1 because all 63+ mobs will not be gray.

When Account #2 hits 70, he can gift +7 to Account 1's shaman to level 70?
