Chained RAF can someone make it clear?

[Zeratul]

Hi,

as read in another post is this true:

if I have RAF liek this:

A->B->C->D

I give 30 Levels from a level 60 to C from D on a new char
now I can give 15 Levels from C to B from the new char plus 30 Levels from my level 60(is this true?) so its 45 Levels ?
now I can give 30 levels from my 60 from B to A and for the newly level 45 I can give another 22 ?

Can you make it clear?

Another q can I grant levels to chars on other realms and if so, how do you do it?

Ceers Jens, Level 58,5 on 1st Team of five!!!!

ok, I will try.

your chain A->B->C->D

Granting is the opposite. D->C->B->A

Each toon can grant a maximum of 30 levels to another toon.

D is at 60, can grant 30 levels to C's toon until they get to 60.

So most people play 2-3 groups to 60. Then level some toons to 30. (1-30 is faster then 30-60)

Grant levels. you will have a lot of levels to chain grant to make more 60s.

Hi there and thanks, but it did not really answer my question.

To make it easy:

lets pretend I have RAF A->B->C and I played a team up to 60.

Now I grant 30 Levels from C to B so lets pretend I use a new char for this:

On C I have nothing to grant any more. On B I have a level 60 that can grant 30 levels to A and I have a level 30 from the granted levels of C ok?

Now what I want to know is:

Can the level 30 on B that is made up of granted levels from C grant 15 levels to A?

Kind regards, Jens

What he means is a grant leveled toon can grant its half of levels to his referer?

I think yes. There is no statement that says only played levels can be granted.

I also have a question. Can D grant level to B or A?

[Zeratul]

Well I can answer this one: No you cant.

Anyway I belive that the RAF to main account thing makes more sense, but I made an error and at least my first team is chained RAF. I already changed (added 3 more wow licenses for 5€ each which is ok 4 me) so I have alle the accounts bound to A for my next team. So for one team played to 60 I get 2 Level 60 chars on my main acc.

Still I wanna get the best out of the stuff I have...


Cheers, jens

From previous answers on the same subject, i was told you can grant levels from a charactor which has been granted levels, i.e. if you use your level 60 to grant 30 levels to your level 1, then that level 1 (now a loevel 30) can grant 15 levels to another level one linked to a toon which it was referred from.
The key is that you can only grant levels to the account which referred that account, you cannot grant levels from the old account to the new account.
I have not granted levels from an account which has been leveled using only granted levels but in another thread which I created I was told it was possible.

Sorry, you are incorrect.


A->B->C->D

If you level D to 60
He has 30 free levels to grant to account C
That level 30 on C now has 15 levels to grant to B
That level 15 on B now has 7 levels to grant to A

Yes, it does INDEED cascade. It's why chaining like this is the correct procedure, and linking them all to account A is a mistake. Linking them all to A also makes it so you cannot boost.

Chain = yes, good times

no chain = frown town




Also you cannot grant levels to characters on other servers, or cross factions. You have to actually be targetting the character you wish to grant levels to.

[Ualaa]

You definitely want to chain your RAF.
Because you can grant levels based on levels which were granted to you.

There are a lot of different options.
But for the cascading of granted levels... to add up to full toons on the final account...
You need to boost two toons per link in the chain.

So if your chain was:
A -- B -- C
A -- D -- E
That is two links A -- B -- C and two again with A -- D -- E.
If A were to boost four toons on BCDE, CE would each give two toons to B/D (and based on those two toons, BD would grant a full toon each to A... this in addition to the two toons from the actual leveling).

If you have an existing toon to boost with.
And are starting on a new server fresh.
You'd want:
A -- B
A -- C -- D -- E
And to transfer your booster toon to B, not A.

If you want to not waste any of the cascade levels, you want a maximum of two links in the chain.
A -- B -- C
A -- D -- E
This is probably the best set up, for that purpose.

If you have more then one existing account, you can link up to two of them (the existing accounts) with new accounts.
If you own three or more accounts, you won't be able to RAF link them all at once, due to 5 toons maximum in a party.
Still, you can RAF from two of the accounts... finish all the boosting you want to do... and then RAF from the others.

If you already have toons on your accounts.
And the accounts are upgraded as far as you want them.
Let's say, Classic + Burning Crusade + Wrath of the Lich King + Cataclysm (not out yet).
You could RAF link two existing accounts to two new accounts (which are Classic only, nothing else).
Then boost the four accounts... two keeper accounts, and two disposable accounts.
Once done, ditch the disposable (classic wow only) accounts.
And repeat the process with two more keeper accounts + two more disposable accounts.

There are lots of options for RAF.



For the accounts to get RAF experience, you need all of these to be true:
a) You are grouped with an account your account is directly RAF linked to;
b) You are within a certain physical distance of the toon you are linked to;
c) You are within +/- four levels of the linked too;
d) The mob/quest is green or better for both toons;
e) Both your toon and the linked toon are level 59 or lower.

If you link like this:
A -- B -- C....
And A is level 80.
And B/C are level 10.
B can still get RAF, because of the link to C, even if the A/B link does not count because of the level disparity.

I was going to ask that question. I have 5 accounts upgraded to LK, I want to RAF 2 more to get shammies and pallies. Can a reg account play with a BC/LK account if the new account stays in the old areas?

So bc/lk A links to vanilla C, A plays Goatface Shammy C plays Dwarf Pally ( I can never spell Drain eye)

Yup. They can play together no problem. Just the account without the expansions cannot enter the expansion areas or advance beyond the level allowed by their current expansion.
