RAF Question, make all new or use 70 to instance grind?

[Burne]

Sorry this RAF linking seems to confuse me to no END.

My Situation..
I have 2 accounts now
Acct1. Priest(70)
Acct2. Huntard(70)/DK(70)

I want to use RAF to its fullest.

My abilities:
I can run 5instances of WOW on one PC w/keyclone. (although i wouldn't need keyclone if i just had them following)

I buy 3 more copies, acct3, acct4, acct5.(wow classic)
So if I link
Acct 1 to Acct 3 (then, upgrade to classic wow and RAF acct4)
Acct 2 to Acct 4 (then, upgrade to classic wow, and RAF acct5)
Acct 4 to Acct 5
Again.. Acct1 Acct2 are existing.


Playing Option 1:
Now, If I made new toons on all of these accounts and grouped them all together, would everyone get the 3 times the XP? Since I have 2 existing, and used them to RAF 1 account each and used 1 newly RAF'd account to RAF another?

And how would the level gifting work, should i just gift the levels to more newly created toons on each acct so I could make more 60s?

Playing Option 2:
I could use the Hunter or DK to grind thru instances... Would that be recommended? Would it drastically effect the xp of the group?

I grinded 2 of my own char's with a 70 arms warrior in berserker stance including 2 of my friends char's that are RAF linked. All 4 char were getting great XP in SM, BRD, and LBRS.
Usually 200 xp for non elites and 800-900xp for elites at 56 now in LBRS.

I would:

Acct1 --> Acct3

Acct2 --> Acct4 --> Acct5

Use the DK (on Acct2) to boost new toons on Acct1+Acct3 and Acct4+Acct5.


This will give you a crapload of characters on both account 1, 3, 4, and 5.
Accunt 5 can grant levels to account 4.
account 4 can grant levels (included those granted from 5) to account 2.
account 3 can grant levels to account 1.

repeat several times.
you can also make a new team. make sure account 1 and 3 are always in the same party and accounts 2, 4, and 5 are somehow in the same party. or... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are in the party and you'll have no issues.

the only problen you'll probably get is that you'll run out of room for characters on accounts 1 and 2.


also, i would use the dk. its a lot easier to run through an instance, grab 40 mobs to bring back to the group, and kill all at once than having everyone on follow while you kill things one at a time.

awesome help thanks!

I got SM Cath down to about 6 pulls with my 70 warrior. When my friend with a 70 mage came we did everything about 5 times as fast in about 4 pulls. The followers got less xp with 2 70's but we were clearing SM 5 times as fast, which made up for the lower xp.

You cannot boost characters linked to your acct.

In other words, link all the accts off Acct 1 (chain them Acct1 -> Raf 1 -> Raf 2 -> Raf 3)

Then you can put them all in a group and boost with the DK.

If you attach your raf accounts to both then there will be no boosting. You can only boost with an acct NOT linked to any of the raf characters in your group.

stop posting lies. =P
you can link acct2 to acct4 and 5. as long as accout 4 and 5 meet the requirements, whether acct2 is linked or not is irrelevant.

what if i did link them all to acct1?



acct 1, acct3, acct4, acct5

would it make a difference if i was still using acct2 in the group to level them?



* add

And my leveling plan was just to have them follow me or pull to them, not beat them down to nothing and degroup or whatever the old 'boost' used to be.

it would make no difference when leveling them through boosting. the only reason why i suggested what i suggested was because ultimately, you'll have your RAF giftable levels sent to two different accounts (instead of 1). in my setup, both account 1 and account 2 will benefit from the gifted levels. think of it this way, for every two teams you level to 60, you get a free 60 character on the referring account. and even more since i suggested a chain link. however, if you do do 1>3>4>5, then you'll probably end up a bunch of characters in accounts 1 and 3, but no "free" characters on account 2. but its all up to you.

oh no problem i just wanted to see "what if" i made a mistake in setup, so it wouldnt be major issue. great
