Made 5 new accounts with RAF all setup...

[omgwtfmoo?]

Instead of deciding on specific teams right now. Maybe you should boost all classes. That way you can make final decision on your teams later. I did this although it was back with RAF was only to 59. I'm jealous of the new one. Just a thought.

You mean boost 5x each class (boost 4 and grant the other) and then mix and match later? Not a bad idea i guess. Saves me from wasting RAF time thinking about teams so i can focus on boosting.

Thanks dude

Yes, in your case I guess it would be five. I didn't link my "Main Account", so I was boosting 4 with a pally on my main. Did one team of 4 of each class (9) then granted toons in the 10th spot to transfer to my main opening back up the 10th spot for the dks. I probably did extra work but its nice having many different options when making a new team.

I also was only going to 59/60 but had plenty of time in the 90 days.

Just a thought

Well my "main" isnt linked either. I started 5 new ontop of the 5 i have and linked them A>B>C>D>E

When I boost the party goes: 85 mage, B, C, D, E

Then I will grant the chars on A up to match BCDE. this way the booster doesnt affect the xp gains since BCDE are all linked to eachother.

If I remember correctly this should work right?

[Cluch]

Yes, That sounds right but it's been a long time.

Can't remember who it was (could search for it i guess...) but BRING ME PAID RAF FOR EXISTING ACCOUNTS

Seriously. Blizzard would make a fortune from us alone!!

If you haven't started the RAF yet, and don't have a lot of toons on Account A...

Consider linking like this:
A > B > C
A > D > E

Let's say you boost four sets of toons.
And then use the granted levels.

As an example:
A: Booster
B: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock
C: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock
D: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock
E: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock

You get them all to 80th, via Boosting.

C and E, each gained four toons.
Which is 320 levels...
Or 160 even levels gained.
So they can each give two full characters to B/D.
Let's say these are: Priest and Mage.

B and D, can do the same to A.
Except that A is receiving toons from both B and D.
So it is four classes at 80th, not two.
Let's say: Druid & Shaman from B and Paladin & Warlock from D.

That gets us... the Booster on A, plus:
A: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.
B: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock, Priest, Mage
C: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock
D: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock, Priest, Mage
E: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock

And because B/D each received two full characters.
They can each pass on another full character to A.
Call these Priest and Mage.

Lots of toons on A, B and D.
Two less on C and E.
Cascading the granted levels rocks.

Damn Ualaa!! You're too late

Wish I had known this 2 days ago.

People who have done the "wrong" RAF chain, have had their links fixed by calling Customer Service.

Different RAF chains can work, it depends on what you want to do.
A chain of: A > B > C > D > E...
Will result in the greatest total number of levels across all of your accounts.

The cascading for the granted levels won't work as well.
You have four jumps, instead of two.
So instead of 2^2 (4) you need 2^4 (16) characters boosted for the cascading of RAF to work perfectly.

If you were planning on running several groups, without the aid of a booster.
Then you'd be leveling toons on A (in sets of five), at the same rate as you leveled toons on BCDE.
So when you level toons... say on ABCDE...
Your set of four toons would be:
A: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.
B: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.
C: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.
D: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.
E: Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Warlock.

The cascading of granted levels, would be...
Two toons (from E) to D.
(And two to C, two to B, two to A)...

But then one extra full toon...
From D to C...
(And one more from: C to B and B to A)...

And fractions of a toon (so not maximum level toons) beyond that.

Like before "E" doesn't receive any extra toons.
But overall, there are toons across all of your accounts.

So the:
A > B > C
A > D > E
Is not necessarily the best of chains.
But with a booster toon, I prefer the previous chain to a straight A > B > C > D > E chain.

Thefunk: Thanks. Definitly waiting before upgrading as well.

Ualaa:
I made the mistake of inviting all my 4 RAF accounts from A. Like this:
A > B
A > C
A > D
A > E

They are all linked on the same battle net ID. You say that I can call Blizzard customer support and change it to e.g. A > B > C > D > E?

This basically means that I'll have an awful lot of level to grant to A. Which kind of sucks as I'm using all character slots on my primary server :-/

Though, I'm fairly sure that I have been able to grant levels between B,C,D and E. I need to check up on that when I get home.

[omgwtfmoo?]

Ok.. So my ABCDE isnt bad, just gonna have to do some hand levelling to bring the toons on A to the full level as the rest. Being how easy levelling is now thats not too bad lol
