Slaves not getting exp

[Ethan]

I know i changed my username since (because i am sticking with this name) but I did the same linking before and had it work.
The link HERE (btw image was removed from photobucket but it was linked main-->acct1-->acct2)

I boosted those accounts with no problem except the difference was that I did not have the 80 at the time with them until deadmines which was lvl 10.

Your notation is a bit ambiguous. Are you saying that the level 80 account is linked to account 1?

If so, your newbies will never get any XP from being boosted by him.

The booster must be completely unlinked. It's always been that way, I'm afraid.

The booster does NOT have to be completely unlinked. and has never been that way either.
The only demand for 3x xp is "be in same party, be linked, be within the same level range. (4 levels is it not?).
i know this since i just recently linked my booster and accounts like this.
booster--account1--account 2 AND 3.
accounts 2 and 3 required that account 1 was in the party, and having the booster in that same party caused no problem for account1.
all 3 dinged about the same time (deaths made em get a bit different XP ).
account1 dinged first since that char actually never died. the other 2 did 2-3 times.

so in short. it does not matter if booster is linked as long as there is another linked account in the bunch that is within the same level range.

I figured (and it worked the first time (don't know why not the 2nd)) that since main acct is in the party with an 80 that acct1 doesn't get triple because of the main, it gets triple exp because its linked to acct 2.


Edit:And it may be the fact that the accounts my not have been considered upgraded since I did it the same night but I will have to see after maintenance is done..

[Otlecs]

I stand corrected.

And yet the experience of the OP, and the many, many posts that crop up in a search on this site suggest that I'm right.

I RAF'd when it first came out, and what I said was most certainly right back then as well.

But I shall bow to your apparently superior knowledge, since you cite more recent experience than mine.

The the OP, do let us know what the outcome was. Given Illuminati's experience, everything should just be working.....

you are right in thinking that newacc1 and newacc2 are both getting xp because they are linked to eachothers and in party.
the 80 doesnt hinder nor does it help in RAF situations.
so if newacc1 and newacc2 are linked directly and NOT threw the booster only then it should work.

but as mentioned before in the thread i think..
did you recruit both new accounts from the boosters account?
i suggest you login to your main account on account management website.
then go down to "refer a friend" section and find out what accounts you are linked to from the main.
when you did that. login to your new acc1 and newacc2 and check the same thing.

it does sound odd to be honest. the lvl 80 should not hinder the 3x XP.

it worked when i did it in TBC, it worked when i did it about 5 months ago and it worked just now last week for me :/.
if RAF 3x XP had not worked i could of impossibly leveled all those chars to 60 in less then 18 hours.

id like to know more as to what could be the problem though :P. seems very odd and odd things intrigue me .

I linked it like this Main-->Acct1-->Acct2 (in a chain) and the only difference from my last boosting setup and this one is I have 1 less account. (kind of like your setup before illum.

A. if acc1 and acc2 is linked.
B. if acc1 and acc2 is getting 3x XP when killing something with only those 2 in party.
C. if acc1 and acc2 is NOT getting 3x XP when killing things with the lvl 80 main account booster in the party.

if A+B is true and C still happens. Then something is very wrong and it might be a bug.
Also make sure you are reading the combat text for the "3000xp gained blabla (+2000xp Refer-A-Friend bonus)".

because a lvl 80 booster does snitch alot of xp from you when you kill things.
and that could possibly be misstaken for a loss of RAF bonus if you arent reading combatlog for the RAF bonus text.

where are you killing things at the moment where acc1 and acc2 get RAF in there own party.
and where are you killing things where you do NOT get RAF bonus when booster is in party.
what mobs/zone .

[Ethan]

I was killing the lvl 1 mobs in the starter zone but i will try something less trivial when the servers come back online.

[JU1CYFRU1T]

Your problem is that the mobs are SOOO low level, that the 80 is killing the xp.

I can say this with DEFINITIVE FACT... because I am doing it RIGHT NOW... linking Main -> Account 1 -> Account 2 WILL result in triple xp. I am boosthing my toons through SM as we speak (level 35.82 on both). This isn't "something I did in TBC" or something I did 5 months ago... I boosted 15 levels YESTERDAY. It worked for RFC (in there for 7 levels)... it worked for SFK (in there for 6 levels [helping a friend level to 20, so that he could join me in SM])... and has worked in SM for 15 (almost 16) levels. Please stop spreading FUD, it doesn't help solve the actual problem.

The problem that you are having is that the mobs are "at level" for your lowbies, and having the 80 kill them is going to get you a grand total of ~3xp... triple that = 9 xp. Here is a VERY simple solution to your problem, and it will help you out in the long run...

Keep your 80 OUT of the equation until level 8-10, when you can get into your first instance. Start a new toon on your main account, and have all 3 levels 1s do the starting quests up until level 10. Once you ding level 10, head into your first instance (for me, it was RFC at 8 ). Doing it this way will do a few different things for you.

1. It will give you MUCH better xp going from level 1-10.
2. Killing things in the starting area with 3 toons is CRAZY easy, especially if they are all properly /assist (ing).
3. It will save you "granted levels". Boosting 1 toon to 60 will give you a free level 30 on your main account... but if you do it this way, you will have a free level 40. Doing it twice will give you a free level 60 and a free level 20.
4. You will get a feel for your group, and get a very basic understanding on how they function together (pure class... not an issue / mixed group... helps a little).

Seriously, it should take you 1-2 hours to level from 1-10... maybe a LITTLE bit more if you keep getting "find me 5 ____" quests. You don't need an 80 until you are going into your first instance, so drop your main, re-roll another toon, and level them all 3 by hand to 10.

[illuminat]

i did say i did this only a few dayes ago .

but what JU1CYFRU1T said about the lowbie xp is true.
i guess i just assumed people did as i did.
wich is i lvl to 8 with the quick non loot demanded quests.
with RAF that takes me 1 hour ish. doing some quests in start area and then some in the second quest hub.

level 8 is for horde. level 10 for alliance.
then RFC to lvl 20 for horde and deadmines for alliance.
rfc is kinda slow in the end of 17+ but it saves you time from moving the toons to SFK .

so do as JU1CYFRU1T said. level to 8 in mulgore since you have taurens.
and then hop on over to rfc .
