Leveling with RAF - which way?

[Nacnik]

Hey guys,

so far I'm dual boxing my team using Zygor Guide and doing Quests.
Yesterday I thought about using my paladin (level 80) to boost my priest.

But two questions are coming up for me...

Is instance boosting faster than questing?
And is the toon getting triple exp with a high level in the party? I read something about only 3 levels difference between the boosting partners.

Thanks!

Boosting has been faster than leveling (during the levels you receive RaF) since RaF was introduced; and
whether your high level character affects your XP is dependent on how you recruited your characters.

I guess the simplest way for me to say this is... as long as 2 low level accounts are attached to each other
through RaF the high level doesn't affect the 300% increased bonus.

Boosting is faster even with the massive change to the whole questing thing?

My setup is that:
Main Account recruited second Account.
Main Account has the Paladin on it and on the second account is the toon.

Yahtzee is claiming 20 hours to level 81 through boosting and others are claiming 30 hours or less. If you can
top that with questing I'd like to see it. I'll say it again, boosting has been faster than leveling (during the levels
you receive RaF) since RaF was introduced.

My setup is that:
Main Account recruited second Account.
Main Account has the Paladin on it and on the second account is the toon.

If you've only got 2 accounts then the lowbie on the second account isn't attached to another low level account,
therefore, you won't be able to boost with only 2 accounts unless someone else is boosting those accounts.

you will not get triple xp with this setup if you are just boosting one charcacter with your paladin.

you would be better off questing two toons together up to 80 - or getting a friend / guild member to boost your two raf accounts with a high level character through instances.

Ok thanks guys!

To get the 300% RAF exp both characters have to be within 5 levels of eachother.

It's 4 unless Blizzard's FAQ is out of date.

Fastest for me has been dungeon finder. In the first 40-50 levels, the RAF exp from completing a dungeon is more than an entire level. I often would ding twice upon completion. I did ragefire chasm at 15, and once it was over i was lvl 19, and I got 3 dings from the completion. If you can play a tank and a healer it will shorten the que times, but it's not that bad IMO. Often i would get a group that chain que'd and the only way it ended was that I leveled too fast, and the dungeon finder couldn't place us.

Basicly being able to boost while queuing up for randoms is working ideal for me. I'm getting another person to que up with my 4 man RAF team, once we are in the dungeon I kick him from group and invite my 85 pally on a 5th account. This essentially let's the team receive the "random dungeon" xp reward....... And with the pally boosting the run is fast.
When I hit 15, I qued and got deadmines. Less than 10 min later with the dm quests and random dungeon xp reward done, I was 19.5.
