Useful discovery about granting levels!

[Jaws5]

another thing to consider is rep for toons. lvl 1-10 is where most toons get honored rep for their home area. this allows decreased training , mounts , and repairs. at 3 times exp quest turns , I would reccomend lvling toons to 30 then gifting from that point to 60 as needed

Huh. So each account can recruit up to 5 friends, right? So couldn't you buy a new account, RaF 4 friends with trial accounts, level all 5 toons to level 20 (where the Trial Accounts stop) and then have the 4 trial accounts gift 10 levels each (40 total) to the new account, dinging them to 60?

The donor needs to be higher level than the donee. So your level 20s could not gift past level 20.

Oh thank goodness. I was worried this would be a game-breaker and I loves me my RaF.

Can anyone clarify how many levels you can grant from a RAF'd account? IE, is it only 34 from one character, and the 2nd or 3rd characters cannot grant levels?

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.

I thought about this a lot, but I determined that there's absolutely nothing I could want out of another random level 60 sitting on my account. Gifting one toon to 59 or 60 is all I want to do. If someone gets obsessed enough with granting levels, they might as well rush as many 5 box teams as humanly possible up to 60 and grant as many new toons to 60 as the game will allow. There has to come a point where you think about what you'd going to focus on in this game. I am going to focus on 5x shaman and a pally, which I already have taken care of so saving 20 levels for more gifts is just a waste of those hours of time.

Here's what I can confirm... (just did it)

Referred account - level 60; level 31
Veteran account - level 27

Level 31 gifted level 27 FOUR levels to level 31.

Veteran account gifted level 31 (formerly level 27) TWENTY-NINE levels to level 60.


Fact: You can gift more than 29 levels to a single character
Fact: You can gift levels from more than one character on the "referred" account
Fact: You can gift levels even if the gift giver is over level 59
Fact: The "ding" animation happens as you gift. Very fun to do in the middle of Stormwind. Make sure to announce "ding!" every time it happens.

Hope that clears things up.

Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun questing with 4 toons. I'm even doing a fair number of collection quests. The 3x XP just makes it such an enjoyable experience since it's like 'Whoops, ah well, I guess I leveled out of this area' instead of 'Gah done with all the quests, guess I'll have to grind Boars for 3 hours before I can go to STV...'.

I just wish it was easier to train new skills and spells. I think I spend more time doing that than questing...

Thanks Vyn, I'd checked through alot of the RAF threads for it but missed that one (too many threads on it )
