Megaleveling RAF accounts

[Ualaa]

1. I'd recommend changing the color of your title, to something with more contrast.
2. I like 1-10, with the booster in the party, that way they can 1-shot kill things with ease; it is a preference thing, but being out of the party requires you to tag things first.
3. With a booster, I'd go straight to Underbog at 60th. Both Blood Furnace and Slave Pens have casters, who you have to Line of Sight, which makes boosting harder.



The zones you pick are a preference; I prefer to include Stockades (16-20) and Shadow Fang Keep (10-20, instead of WC) at the lower end, and to do Stratholme instead of Scholomance, but either approach will work just fine.

I like that you have a minimal number picked, which keeps it simple.

Interesting linking approach:
A - B - C
.....B - D
.....B - E




The RAF comment from Blizzard, was written under the assumption of a total of two characters in the group. Either that, or it was written initially, RAF was changed prior to release, and they included the original question and answers, which are in some ways now wrong.

For RAF 3x experience, you need to satisfy these conditions:
a) You are grouped, with a character who is on an account directly RAF linked to you.
b) You are within +/- 4 levels of that character.
c) The content is not grey to either of you.
d) You are both level 59 or lower.

Having a level 80 in the group, with two RAF Linked level 19's, does not prevent the 19's from gaining 3x experience, provided the above four conditions are true.

At 45 I went to UBRS with my main tank pala, agroed the summoners in the first 4 rooms. Waited about 15min, and killed all the mobs. After doing this 3 times I dinged. So I did this all the way from 45-58 on my priest/mage.

There are tons of places you can go for RAF experience.

In the end, its a preference of what you are most comfortable pulling.

You need mobs which are either melee based (so they'll chase you), or a place to Line of Sight the casters, so they have to come close to you.
Then you need enough mobs to make the pulls faster then just questing as quickly as possible.
But few enough on a given pull that your booster can handle them.
And enough pulls to take about 10 minutes to clear what you're doing... as we can only do 5 resets per hour (which with the initial run, is 6 runs per 60 minutes).

Hey guys,

quick question, I started a new set of 5 RAF accounts linking like A-B-C-D-E
on account A I have leveled a paladin to 60 and on B, C, D & E using the Paladin as main leveled 4 priests and 4 shamans on the respective B-C-D-E

Is this the correct way to get maximum RAF level grants?

[Ualaa]

With a full chain and four links, it will be impossible for the cascade levels (granting levels, based on levels granted to you) to add up to a full toon on the final account.

That said, if you are starting, every account other then E will receive granted levels, which adds up to the most possible toons, spread across the entire account. When starting, this is exactly as I would have done the RAF link too.

Now that you have a Pally at 60th, I'd really consider doing at least Hellfire as you will more then double your level 60 old-world health -- which will help immensely with boosting. If you take the initial group to 70th (or just the pally if that is faster for you), you'll also be able to boost 55th to 60th in Ramparts too.

I would recommend doing as many teams as you will consider playing in the future. 1st to 60th during RAF is so much faster then doing another team later. The toons you level now, are the ingredients; I leveled 5x Shaman, and divided them into two teams down the road.

I did:
- 5x Druids
- 5x Hunters
- 5x Priests
- 5x Shamans

I'm working on (ie, wished I had done during RAF):
- 5x Warlock

And toying around with the idea of:
- 5x Death Knight
- 5x Paladin

k awesome so to get max number of raf granted level characters I keep leveling groups of 4 with the paladin? or shall i start leveling groups of 5 without the paladin but a new character on A?

so at the moment E can grant 60 levels to D, D can grant 60 to C, C can grant 60 to B and B can grant 60 to to A

but nothing can be granted to E yea?

cheers for the help ualaa.

Play with the Paladin on A.

Follow something similar to:
01-10 Quest, with Pally in group.
10-20 Shadowfang Keep
20-45 Scarlet Monastery
45-55 Stratholme/Scholomance
55-60 Ramparts

If you don't think you'll play a combination, there's little point in leveling it.
But if you think there's a chance you'd want to play that class (boxed) down the road, then by all means RAF some of them up.

For the granting levels, it is correct E will not be receiving any.
And A won't be leveling toons directly, with the Paladin boosting, but will still get some from granted levels.
