RAF Level Granting.

[Azzie]

For every two levels recruit characters earn, one "grantable" level is gained. Recruit characters may then grant these levels to lower level veteran characters.

FROM Blizzard's FAQ:

How can my recruit grant me levels?
Your recruit will need to right-click your target character's portrait and select "Grant A Level."

Note: Characters must be within 100 yards of one another for level granting to work properly levels may not be granted cross-zone.

Are there are any restrictions on granting levels?

Yes: 1) Levels may only be granted to characters on a veteran account by characters on a linked recruit account; 2) levels may only be granted to characters of the same faction and on the same realm; 3) levels may not be granted to characters over level 59; and 4) levels may not be granted to characters of equal or higher level; 5) levels may not be granted once a 90-day account link breaks.

With this, once a level is granted, it may not be used again. For example: If a recruit character possessed 15 "grantable" levels and provided 10 to a veteran character, only 5 would remain for future use.

At what level is the first "grantable" level gained?
The first "grantable" level is gained at level 2.


At what level do recruit characters cease to gain levels to grant?
The ability to gain levels stops at level 60.

What is the maximum amount of "grantable" levels a single recruit character can achieve?

A recruit character can gain up to 30 "grantable" levels.

Note: When our new Recruit-A-Friend program launched, the maximum number of levels a single recruit player could earn was 29. This maximum value was increased to 30 with the launch of Patch 3.0.8. Unfortunately, this change was not retroactive; thus, recruit characters created prior to 3.0.8 may only be able to gain 29 levels in total.


Can all of these levels be granted at once?
Yes.

Can "grantable" levels be saved and then used at later and higher levels?
Yes. Although a recruit character will cease to gain levels past level 60, previously-gained levels will not immediately disappear. That said, all "grantable" levels will need to be used before the 90-day link expires, as these levels will not be available once the link is removed.


If I transfer a character with unused "grantable" levels to another realm, will that character get to keep them?
No. Unclaimed levels are not moved during a character copy or transfer. Be sure to use them before you transfer.

What if a level 50 character is transferred to a recruit account, will that character be able to grant 24 levels right away?
No. "Grantable" levels are only provided for every 2 levels gained while on the recruit account.
