Recruit a Friend Video Tutorial

[MiRai]

A quick video tutorial breaking down Blizzard's "Recruit-a-Friend" referral system and touching on a few different methods multiboxers look at when setting up multiple accounts. There are probably a few things which some people think are important that are missing. This video ended up being a lot longer than I had anticipated when I first started the project, so a few things possibly got cut. Feel free to add what you think may perhaps be vital to this video. If I think it belongs in the video I will change it. This is for all the new people that come in here asking "hai guyz were do i download the dualbox?", you can just point them to this video instead of flaming them...maybe they'll learn something.

If you're a slow reader YouTube and all other video playback software provide you with the power to pause time.

Great video for a beginner. Should note that the first linking method will allow the most RAF toons to be created as the granted levels count as gained levels so if you're boosting from A you get nearly 60 levels to gift to account A and about 50 to B from the cascading bonus levels. That would allow you to create toons on A and B, boost to 10 and after gifting have two more level 60s with little more effort than the initial boost.

The third method works best if you have a few accounts already as I did when I switched to five. Two accounts I would go: A(runner), B(orig)>C(RAF)>D(RAF)>E(RAF). You could the get a lv 10 on B gifted to 60 and transfered to A with each group if wanted. Three accounts would be: A(runner), B(orig)>D(RAF), C(orig)>E(RAF).

hi,

thanks for the vid. it explains a lot.

The thing which makes me think is:
The recruit cannot grant levels to the recruiter's character if it is equal to or higher than the recruit's character level.

So I if I use X | A>B>C>D (X boosting unlinked, a,b,c,d chain linked) and level them all up to 60 I can grant 30 levels on ANOTHER Toon on account A and B and C and bring that char from 0-30 ? (well obviously you level them the 10 lvls in the noob area so lvl 40)

So the granting makes only sense if you want to level a second team quickly ?

do I overlook something here ?

just looking ahead quick levelling a new team
cheers

Yes, but it's preferred to level them up to 30 and then grant those extra levels since it's quicker to go from 1-30 than it is 30-60.

So the granting makes only sense if you want to level a second team quickly ?

To be honest, unless you're willing to pay transfer fees your last account will never receive any "grantable" levels in any of the setups shown in the video. I was just showing how the granting actually works.

No problem, glad it helped. I was surprised when I got an e-mail about a reply to the thread; I can't believe someone dug this up.

Fenril, this was a good video. I'm well past the RAF part of multiboxing, but I can see how this will be beneficial to all users.

You have had some great posts lately man.

I watched it and enjoyed it. Very clear... Almost makes me want to grab more accounts to RAF up more teams.. but then I hit the dilemma of paying their subscriptions or $25 per character to xfer...
