3 Boxing for a fresh 80 monk

[promdates]

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.

Does this mean you RAF one account, then RAF another account to the previous RAF'd account?

What I have done often when boosting. I have 5 accounts and so I do an Raf from one of these accounts. Then when dungeon boosting I add in an unlinked high level tank which boosts both lowbies to 80. So basically playing 3 account, TANK acct, existing account character acct and RaF character acct.

I don't have RAF, so I can't test it. But per WOWWIKI, it sounds like the lower level toon will still get the extra XP: If both characters are not within 3 levels of each other, only the lower-level character will gain extra experience.

Ok what I did was my original plan recruited from my main account and then again from the account I recruited. It's works as I was hoping the 2 raf'd accounts get raf exp and I just dungeon boost em I'm working on my second set of 80s at the moment and my first set came in just over 24 hours played (with zero dungeon quests completed) but I'm pretty sure I'm going to blow that number away this time as I'm doing all the quests this set is at 50 right now 5hours /played. All boosting is being done on a raid geared feral druid. I found in the first set that the 70s were slow up until I got to halls of lightning then it was pretty fast.

A major boost I found also to the high level booster is to get the ilvl 377 crafted pvp gear, it helps quite a bit on a druid with tank spec but in cat form.

I've found the only place I need to watch is the room before the final boss in hol if I pull the whole room I need to kite and use bersek or is lights out.. Found that out the hard way >.<

Correct. Then you have 3 easy options you can run the 2 raf accounts alone, you can run the raf accounts with a new char from your main account, or you can boost with a lvl 85 through dungeons which is what I"m doing.

Correct me if I am wrong, but RaF to RaF also allows the granted levels to cascade between the RaF accounts? i.e. if I grant a character levels on the 2nd RaF from the 3rd RaF it then allows me to grant levels from the 2nd account to the first with the character that was granted llevel from 1 - 80 ?

Correct! Levels granted can all be passed upwards although it has a dr of sorts, you need 2 80s per account to grant an 80 on the parent account if we're ONLY thinking about what it would take on the C account you would need 4 80s to equal 1 80 on account A with each 80 passing it's levels upwards c>b>a. This is rounding upwards of course you would need to do a little work on each char receiving because blizzard is stupid with the 39 grantable lvls crap witch seems totally unreasonable and is clearly an inconvenience for the sake on inconvenience.

Also just incase anyone cares my second set of 80s is progressing nicely at lvl 74 in dtk sitting at 13hrs I'm not sure if thats good but either way I'm satisfied
