Chained RAF can someone make it clear?

[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.
