Useful discovery about granting levels!

My current plans are to level a 4 box of warlocks to 60... that will give me 30 levels on each of two accounts to gift... and since my shaman just hit 60 I've already got 30...

I don't overly enjoy leveling druids or hunters and don't want them for multiboxing, so I intend to gift one of each to 60... this is indeed good info, kill a few lowbie mobs and get to 99% of a level completed and then gift away.

I was under the impression that a character couldn't receive more than 30 gifted levels. I'm assuming from the above "I insta-leveled a pally yesterday from level 1 to 59. 58 clicks and it was done." that this is not true. Can anyone else confirm?

30 per referral character. Confirmed. I've already gotten one of my shaman to 38 with nothing but gifted levels.

Yah, ummmm, don't waste your gift levels on a level 1 character. Take a couple hours and level them to 20 or so. Be pro, don't be a noob.

30 per character then.

Not 29?

I'm not surprised there's so much confusion when reality differs from the information posted by Blizzard, which specifically says (or SAID, when I last looked on Friday!!)..... 1) you lose your giftable (sic) levels at 60, so get rid of them before then (debunked in this thread), and... 2) You get 29 levels because you don't get a giftable level for dinging 60 (debunked in this thread)!

It's 29 for reaching 60. They said you don't get a gift level until level 3 or something.

Oh, maybe it's 29 per character. I was confirming that you can gift the same character with multiple toons up to 59 or 60 (not sure yet), but either way it's going to be a box from the next level however high it gets to.

Well, I'm a noob. I took my pally from 1-49 with RAF levels. I was doing so because I was under the impression you could only ding to 60 with the RAF levels.

Had you lvl'd to 20 first you'd have 19 to spend on another character. I'll be doing some from lvl 1 though, just don't have enough space for characters on the main accounts to boost more than a few anyways

Why would you want to gift a character from 1 to 60 anyway? You can get into the mid 20s in a couple of hours using the RAF XP bonus, it would be a crying shame to waste approx 25 gift levels on the bottom end of any new toon. As a bonus, your newly levelled 25 has 12 gift levels of it's own which, once you've gifted it to 60, it can bring a level 48 to 60 too.

A little forward planning in exactly how you grant those gift levels shows up some surprising possibilities. Levelling/boosting the easy part and then gifting up to 60 provides even more high level gifting. The Vet accounts can get a surprising number of 60s in short order.

My plan involves levelling 3 seperate quad teams to 60 (one is there already) and using cascading gift levels/low level boosting to raise a further 3 (or more) 60s on each of my vet accounts.

Why am I doing this? To be honest I have absolutely no idea, but I'm finding the questing up of quad teams amazing fun.
