3 Boxing for a fresh 80 monk

[ntsaint]

Hello everyone I've been reading for the past few days on doing raf to be able to get a fresh 80 panda monk on release day. I've seen so many combinations for raf my eyes have crossed and I'm lost in the fog. I have an account that I would like to boost my chars with and I've purchased 2 battle chests and 2 copies of wotlk for my raf accounts.

What I'm planning to do is raf from my main account and then again from my raf'd account to another all under my battle.net account. My main question is how many chars will I have to level on each of the raf accounts in order to get enough levels to grant. It's my understanding that my 3rd account will not be able to grant levels to my main account directly but only to it's parent account. So if I level 1 80 on each of the raf accounts and a lvl 40ish char on the first raf account I should be able to have enough grantable levels to reach lvl 80 on a new monk right? It seems to work out in my head but it gest so jumbled up.

So to recap thinking of only the raf accounts a and b I will get an 80 on each and a 40 on the first account grant 40 lvls from the b account to bring the 40 up to 80 and then 40 levels from each of the now 2 80s on a account to my monk. I know the monk will be 10+ when he/she leave the panda zone but is my thinking correct? I want to get this straight before I create my accounts so I dont screw up and do it wrong since I only have one shot at this. I did this once before long long ago when raf was first put into place but all that knowledge has since gone kaput.

Thanks guys I'm sorry to bother you with a question that has most likely been asked a 100x and I'm sure I missed it in the forums but I could really only find ppl doing 1 raf or running 5 boxing I just need info on my specific situation. :P

Well if you plan on leveling with all three toons at once, then you can RaF both of your new accounts from your main account. Then your main account will get all the levels plus all the extra free time.

What was suggested to me was use two existing accounts to RaF two new accounts, then you have total of 4 accounts earning the 300% exp instead of just 3.

Well I only have the one account I play regularly and I dont have room for a monk and another char to level with the raf so i have to do with what I have I just want to make sure I can do it with the setup I've got planned. I have to boost the chars because I dont want to level my main acct. I'm not in it to level a bunch of chars I only need 1 monk and the other accounts are throw away. I'm not concerned with mounts, free time, etc. just the lvl 80 monk and the fastest way to get it with my setup.

If you have a level 85 main character then I would do it with just one new account. Your main account RaFs a new account, and you boost that new account through dungeons using your high level main.

You would need to boost two new characters to level 80 to give you enough level grants for an 80 monk. That would take you maybe two nights to accomplish.

If you do want both 2 new accounts, then have your main RaF both of them. Then boost them through dungeons. You would need to boost one new character on each account to 80.

It's my understanding that you can't boost a single character with an 85 because of the lvl difference, (raf characters have to be within 5 lvls of each other to gain xp). You have to chain them A>B>C in order to make b and c get the bonus from the 85 leveling them.

[JohnGabriel]

Oh yeah, you are correct. Guess another reason to boost with 4, since you will have to have 2 new accounts anyways.

Another thing to think of is if you dont have HGWT then RaF A>B>C will allow you to summon everyone just by first flying your main toon there.

[JohnGabriel]

But sorry forgot to answer your original question, instead I ran my mouth off in some weird direction.

Each RaF toon that reaches 80 has 39 levels to give, leveling two would give you 78 levels. If your monk is level 10-12 after reaching sw or org, you'll still have plenty left over.

unless he plays a race other than Panda for Monk, only Panda Monks have to go through the starting area. If he wanted an almost insta 80 Monk, he could make his Monk the best race for monks ( Gnomes ) and lvl that one to lvl 3 in a few minutes!

REMEMBER to lvl the toon your going to grant lvls to to a few exp away from dinging, so when you grant your lvls they will be a quest, or a few kills away from 81

NOTE: JK about Gnomes being the best race.. they are for me though 8)

I second this. You save so much time only having to kill a few things to hit level 81.

One other point that is kinda cool, if you are boosting before they remove the rep tabards, get them for your characters that you are boosting and main if needed. You can get close, if not all the way to exalted on the 5 races needed to get Ambassador title.
