Question on account setup / thoughts wanted!

[jaycee]

Have been trying 5boxing, and enjoy it, and am keen to drop proper money on it and level thru BC/FT, but was wondering whether I should start over first, to get my accounts setup better...

Summary:

I have a main account from old wow days with an 80, 2 70s and 3-4 60s on it - ie minimal room for new characters.. Between that and other accounts, I have 2 FT, 3 BC and 3 Vanilla accounts (accrued from relatives etc). My current RAF accounts are all tied to the main account, and while its been fun 5 boxing unboosted, I just tried to power an instance and it won't work, because the only link between all the accounts is also the one with boosting characters, and for RAF bonus there needs to be a char of approx same level.

So my options are:

Continue with current setup (ie 58 and 42 lvl 5box squads) and not be able to boost thru instances. Costs me 3 x BC and 4 x FT to fully upgrade

-or-

Take 3 existing accounts, link 2 RAFs to the 2 non-boosting accounts, and then I'll have 4 RAF linked accounts and a boosting account, with no room for more characters on the boosting account / no free levels going to it. Only costs me 2 x BC and 3 x FT to fully upgrade.

-or-

Start 5 fresh accounts, chain link them (ie A RAF B, B RAF C etc), and the boost on main account dropping A from the squad, because he can get plenty of Granted Levels to catchup to the rest at lvl 60. Costs me 5 x Van+BC+FT.

Thoughts?
Am I going to regret not having daisy-chained RAF accounts for the 3 months in option 2? Coz it'll same me the most money upgrading them all.

I guess I don't really use the free levels much, and Boost/main account is mainly druids, pallies, shamans priest [and a hunter], so can boost and fit into most 5box squads as a healer/tank.

4 Hun 1 Sha @ 43

I'd go with option B probably, possibly option C.

Mainly because the point of having RAF is to give yourself a ton of options for post 60th level play.

You have a set at 42nd and another at 58th.
Which doesn't really give you a lot of choices for end-game.

If your existing accounts are A, B, C.
And you get two new accounts: D and E.
You can go:
A
B -- D
C -- E

And then you have a booster plus four RAF accounts.



Alternatively, go with 4 (new) RAF accounts, instead of two.
And link them A -- B -- C -- D -- E.

That will get you the most out of RAF, but cost the most too.
Battlechests are very cheap at the moment, so if you go that route, this weekend is the time.




Basically you'd like to finish RAF with a healer and a tank option on every account.

Also, go with 4x or 5x a variety of classes.

So you can do a PvE set, a PvP set, etc.
Maybe a melee team, and a caster team, which play very differently.

With boosting, you can 1-60 four accounts in 10-12 hours of played time.
A set per week, should certainly be possible even for casual play.

Staying with option A, means no boosting, which is not a whole lot of toons at 60th.

if 'b' has no immediate flaws I'll probably go that. I have a some characters on the boosting account that I'm keen to add to the multibox crew from 60 or 70-80, so that's probably going to work for the best...

Cheers!

i did it

A -- C -- D
B -- E

a-b was my to old acconts and that way i could boust on A and or RAF them all as a group

even though A is thinked to C, as D is linked to C then A would not take the XP from C
