Going from 2->5 with recruit a friend

[Mercurio]

I'm going to guess right now that triple quest experience will be nerfed.

This from Naysayer?

Inconceivable!

(sorry, just had to)

So I'm definitely going to just start from scratch again with 4 new accounts.

However, I can't decide whether to round robin link them or link them all to one character. Anyone verify either of these methods yet? Any effect on who gets the bonuses? I'm waiting on an answer from CS, and will report back

The account that recruits the friend and the account that was recruited get the bonus, the bonus does not stack (ie you can only get a maximum of (x3) Xp, no extra for being rested. The bonus does not apply to the entire group only accounts that have recruited and have been recruited.

So If I Own account A and B atm, I Recruit account C using Account A and Account D using Account B then I can effectively get (x3) Xp on all 4 accounts assuming they are all partied together.

That is how it works. 8|

With triple exp. It might even be better to just quest/grind without boosting ? I mean you will out level any area with 3x mob exp and 3x quest exp.. so ZERO collection quests needed! Just go into an area and pick only kill quests ( just get easy quests ) And with an kind of AE team you would get crazy exp on mobs? right ?

[Naysayer]

The triple XP does not apply to the group, it only applies to the 2 linked accounts.

Figured that out after I reached level 15 in less than an hour after inviting a lowbie from my 5th and unlinked account to the group.

I guess the only decent way for current boxers who already upgraded to full accounts prepatch is to pay for two to three more accounts and drop the same in existing accounts. Not worth it for myself, I'll just continue on with my existing accounts. Though, maybe I will buy 2-3 more accounts when WoTLK comes out and level 4-5 Deathknights with 3xexp and just transfer them over to the old accounts at 60.

Definitely refrain from boosting them. Keep them all the same level.

I was just following joannas quest guide from 1-15 and was getting 30,000 experience per hour at those levels. It's all in the 3X exp for quests. You can effective just do the easiest and simple quests while skipping the time consuming quests and not run out of decent quests because the easy ones count as 3 so they cover for the time consuming ones you want to skip. You'll still have plenty of completed quests turning from yellow to green if you follow a decent guide, but make sure to turn them in before they go grey or you lose the bonus. It took me 52 minutes to get my quadbox to level 15, and I can say with a straight face that I wasn't even rushing it.

So if I have 5 accounts already, and buy three more (call these Ryan, Chris, Ken)....link the three accounts to two of my original five (we'll call these two Bob, Joe) so...

Bob refers Ryan
Bob refers Chris
Joe refers Ken

If Bob, Joe, Ryan, Chris, and Ken are all grouped, they all get 3x XP?

[badashh]

As long as they are all at the same level you get x3 for killing mobs, correctamundo. Quest exp you get X3 regardless.

[Syro]

What about transferring toons to the new accounts?

In my scenario I described above, could I transfer lvl X toons to Ryan, Chris, and Ken. And when grouped with same level toons on Bob and Joe, will I get 3x XP?

[badashh]

Transferred toons act the same, if the accounts are linked and you follow the non trivial mobs and quests you'll be racking up the exp.
