Hmm, now you make me doubt, but yeah this is how I did it in the first place when I was dualboxing.

I leveled :
  • pally (recruiter) + mage ("friend")
  • druid (recruiter) + shammy ("friend")
Then with that I could level up toon from 0 to 60 by first granting levels on it from the mage, then from the shammy...

I think I have read somewhere that there is an hidden counter that increases every two levels. So transferring a 60+ toon would give nothing. And also transferring the toon you leveled to another account would make him lose its levels grants as well.

Any third opinion / experience on this to settle the subject ?
Transferring a 60+ absolutely allows you to grant levels immediately. Please note, this may be against the rules.

Some time back it seemed that there was a RAF reset. In other words, some accounts were able to grant levels again, even if they used up their levels before. It happened to me and I was confused as to why. I thought it was because in the time between when I granted levels and the time when my toon hit 80, I had accumulated more levels to gift. However, after doing research it seemed the Blizzard reset everything and many, including myself, benefited from it.

I'm 100% certain that you can transfer a 60+ to a new account that is RAF linked and gift levels (again, not legal but somewhat proves there is no internal counter as to "earned" levels).

I'm 99.9% certain that the number of levels you can gift is based on account, and not by the number of levels you've earned. Otherwise you would have a ton of people constantly leveling toons from 1-10, using their high level toon to grant levels, and repeating the process.
