Which classes to "RAF level grant" to complete my squad

[Owltoid]

Seems a little contradicting...

By based on account I meant that each account has a limit to the number of levels it can grant. It doesn't matter if you level 7 guys to 60, you'll only be able to grant a total of 30 (or is it 29?) levels.

The level tracking is done per character. The restriction on who can be granted to, i.e. the referrer is done on account.

Example:

Account A refers Account B. Account C is not connected.

Characters Alice and Bob are leveled from 1-60 on Account A and B. Account C has a level 30, Chris.


Bob has 29 levels to grant. They can be granted to any character level 59 or lower on Account A.
Alice has 29 levels to grant. She can not grant them to any character, as Account A is not referred by any account.
Chris has no levels to grant.

If you transferred Chris to account A, Bob could grant him all 29 levels.

You used to be able to transfer Alice to account B, in which case you could then grant 29 levels to a character on account A. I have not tested this since my last RaF, so I can't confirm if this still works.

One other thing worth noting; levels recieved from RaF granting will earn you levels. If you were to create account D, refered by Account B and a character on D granted 10 levels to a character on B, then that character on B could grant 5 levels to account A. This still works and I have confirmed it last week.

As for what characters to grant levels to, I suggest you give them to the characters you are least likely to have fun leveling or are hardest to box. I tend to grant to melee classes. This way I can get them to 60 and play them where they start to be fun. I don't mind leveling hunters or mages since I can box them easily and still enjoy them at lower levels. I can't see myself boxing a group of 3 pallies, a rogue and a warrior though.

I have never seen this in action. In fact, I have seen the opposite. I'll try and dig up the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure I granted more than 29/30 levels last week after a boosting session. What leads you to believe this?

I just read the Blizzard FAQ and RAF and it does not mention the account restrictions I thought were in place. If both of you have experienced it, then it's looking like I'm very likely wrong... sorry if that's the case

[Souca]

No worries. I was just a little concerned as I'd started up my second wave of RaF. I spent a good deal of the first one just getting used to boxing so I didn't get to level all the alts I wanted. I've only granted close to 30 levels and a little over, so I was hit with a sudden concern that I had used them all.

I can confirm that the levels earned are earned on the character on the account.

They appear to be allocated at the point your character gains each odd level. (So if you transfer in a 60 toon you wont have levels to gift).

I RAF'ed up a team of shaman on my accounts, then RAF'ed up an alliance team on the same accounts.

To the original poster - I'm sure your main teams pretty much cover how much fun you would be able to have.

From the sounds of it though you should go with your 4 fury warriors and a priest.

Huhu, I see that the post has somehow drifted a little bit from its original goal. Still, that completely changed my perspective on fury warriors. I'd have never thought of them as a viable experience, but taking the charge into account, and using them as slaves sent as "homing missiles" (as read on another post on this site) seems quite fun.

It's probably not sustainable for heroics and so on, but might but a refreshing experience...

Anyone has tried rogues with shadowstep to achieve similar things ?

Sorry to derail the thread again, but the bolded part is not correct. I know you can transfer a 60 to a fresh RAF linked account and grant levels immediately.

I'm about to start a group of DKs. Not the same as rogues, but depending on my experience with melee, I may rethink my position on not needing more than one rogue. I know Tasty 5 boxes rogues, to great success I believe.


Owltoid:

On the 60 transfer, any info on the 60? Was it leveled on another RaF account maybe? Or was it a 60 on an account that was never on RaF? I'm trying to figure out teh scenario to see if I can reproduce it
