Yet another quickest 5 man RAF question

[Ualaa]

why not go A>B>C>D>E? Having a brain freeze day, can't see much farther than my nose

The preferred link (for most levels gained from granting levels) is:
A -- B -- C -- D -- E




But if someone has A + B already, and wants to use both in their RAF mix, you have to go:
A -- C -- D
B -- E

And if anyone is boosting on A/B, it has to be the A account, because B -- E are reliant on only the other account for the RAF bonus. C is not dependent on A, because C -- D is a link too.

Pretty sure you cant grant levels to toons that are higher level than you. So the first post where he wants to stop at 40 and grant 20 levels to his other toon to 60 wont work. You can only grant levels to toons that are of lower level.

Im not sure why you would want to try and cascade level grants this way as it just goes to lower and lower leveled toons.

Your better off just RAFing up 2 groups of 60 and level grant a 3rd or RAF up 2 groups of 60 and 2 groups of 30 and level grant the rest for 4 full groups.

I think (too late now as I set it up A-B-C-D-E instead ) that if you have 1 account you want to keep and 4 throwaways (like I did to setup a new raf) then

A-B-C
A-D-E

would be the best setup as you would get more level granted back to A (A being booster)

any comment ?

[Ualaa]

Cascading will get you the most total levels granted.
But not the most total levels on Account A.

With:
A -- B -- C -- D -- E

Assuming you boosted two sets of 60's on B-E, we have:

A gets 50.00% of the levels gained by B = 60
A gets 25.00% of the levels gained by C = 30
A gets 12.50% of the levels gained by D = 15
A gets 06.25% of the levels gained by E = 07

B gets 50.00% of the levels gained by C = 60
B gets 25.00% of the levels gained by D = 30
B gets 12.50% of the levels gained by E = 15

C gets 50.00% of the levels gained by D = 60
C gets 25.00% of the levels gained by E = 30

D gets 50.00% of the levels gained by E = 60

That nets us:
112 granted levels on A
105 granted levels on B
090 granted levels on C
060 granted levels on D
367 granted levels in total.




If you go:
A -- B -- C
A -- D -- E

Again, assuming two sets of toons boosted to 60th:

A gets 50% of the levels gained by B = 60
A gets 50% of the levels gained by D = 60
A gets 25% of the levels gained by C = 30
A gets 25% of the levels gained by E = 30

B gets 50% of the levels gained by C = 60

D gets 50% of the levels gained by E = 60

180 granted levels on A
060 granted levels on B
060 granted levels on D
300 granted levels in total.

except the level you get are "low" levels and if as I said your goal (which was mine) is to make 4 raf during the free month and transfer minimum of toons back I think A(permanent)-B-C A-D-E gives the most high level toons on A

[Ualaa]

Agreed, 180 levels granted to A is superior to 112 levels granted to A.
More so, when none of the other accounts will be kept.

The only better option for granting would be:
A -- B
A -- C
A -- D
A -- E

However, losing either 3x experience (if A were boosting) or only going as 5x New Toons (thus no boosting), makes this a pretty impractical set up.

So if i get this right.. Account A(booster toon) refers account b, account b refers account c and account c refers account d and account d refers account e

[Ualaa]

If you're going with 5 RAF accounts, and will be keeping them all.
Go with:
A -- B -- C -- D -- E

Only good reasons to do differently are if you have more then one existing account or will not be keeping all of the RAF accounts.

[Moorea]

Btw, even with A-B-C-D-E and A being a booster - how do you get even 5 level 60 ; assuming A boosts B,C,D,E to 60 :

then you can create a level 30 on D (from E's level 60/2)
which lets you create a level 45 on C (first 15 from the l30 on D and another 30 from level 60)
which lets you create a level 52 on B (22+30)
which lets you create a level 56 on A (26+30) - or if you have a level 4, a level 60

this is nothing to be that excited about ?

In other words the "number of granted levels" may be in theory large, but practically - what do you actually run and can grant ? (ending up with a bunch of level 2 or 4 or... isn't very useful at all)

(with A-B-C and A-D-E you get directly 1 level 60 on A for each 4 from BCDE)

[gmbattletech]

thinking on doing this, only want like 1 account in the end... Account A
account a refers B
account a refers C
account a refers D

if i get this right.. all my granting lvls go back to account a...


Or woudl there be a better way to do this...

Thanks for advice
