RAF Question

[Clicht]

Well currently I've been planning on RAFing fives accounts together, which are all new accounts so they will end up in this layout.

A>B>C>D>E

All starting out at level one, but something weird happened when testing out the 3 accounts that I have already created. Which look like:

A>B>C

All three are grouped together (I just purchased these accounts a day ago, and still have trial restrictions, but they are RAF'ed, I'm currently just waiting for the trial restrictions to fade away in the next 48 hours)
I also got these characters in a group by inviting them through my main account (Which I may add is not linked to any of these accounts).

Anyways... while they are grouped this is what happened:

Account A: +54 exp gained from RAF, +2 group bonus (Combat Log)
Account B: +36 exp gained from RAF, +2 group bonus (Combat Log)
Account C: +36 exp gained from RAF, +2 group bonus (Combat Log)

Why exactly is this happening, I've followed some peoples layouts and I just simply don't understand why one account is gaining more experience than the other two. I'm thinking it may be due to the fact they are still trial accounts, but none the less I'm still quite confused.

If anyone understood what I just wrote and can answer this question I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks,

Lets say you are logged on battlenet for toon nr 1. This is were you Raf toon nr 2 from.

Did you logg out and logged into toon nr 2's battlenet, which then raf toon nr 3?

(From what i understand: thats why its called "linked" accounts. I belive you cant just logg into your toon nr 1 account and raf all toons from there.)

You can decide to just carry on, or ask a GM to delete the raf, so you can set it up from new.
(i would do this, if you want more free lvl 60 chars faster later on)


To use your template:


A>B>C>D>E

=

Logg into toonA, raf toon B from within that account.
Logg out of toonA.


Logg into toonB, raf toon C from within that account.
Logg out of toonB.

etc.

[Newbox]

Btw, if a gm deletes your setup, i think they also delete the toons. ...
(if u decide to start from scratch)

you can have A - to recruit all other 4, people are doing this way, A>B>C>D>E because E can grand level to D to C to B, you know what i mean. Plus A will get rocket mount for B, the only one that hurts is the last one E, no rocket mount for him. also you are moreflexible on summon your other toons.

mines are linked: A>B>C>D A>E

and everything is workig perferct I've noticed many times XP from quests? is messed up, maybe bugged. but its working.

[Tim]

The reason why you don't want A to recruit all 4 (A>B, A>C, etc) is that, if A is ever not in the party, then none of your guys will get RAF.

So lets say you dump a guy to get a friend in or whatever, you would never be able to dump A.

If you did the A>B, B>C, C>D, D>E method, then you could dump out 1 guy and only have that one pair not get XP, vs the whole team.

That is about it Not too important though, especially if you have 3 man teams.

Oh, and if you do it that way then each guy can get a RAF mount (except E, he will be lonely!)

If the character from Account A is in a guild and the characters on the other accounts are not in the same guild, it would explain the increase. Guilds give 5 or 10% extra experience gain above RAF. Heirloom items also add on top of the guilds experience gain over RAF also.

Yeah, the Guild EXP will stack even with RAF bonus EXP. Either drop the guild on A or invite the loners into the guild. If you did make a mistake in the order of RAF invites, then as Newbox says, a bliz GM will fix it for you, however you may want to trade out any items you may have earned, or items or gold you may have given the newcomers. Delete the toons yourself though and then the GM will shut those new accounts town for you and send you new game codes that you purchased. You then send the RAF invite to the B account, then from B, you send an invite to C, then from C to D, and from D to E. As tim says, never to it A invites all. Though you get the EXP bonus, you don't get to grant levels to B from C, or any other which way. Also the teleport doesn't work cross account either. The link is between 2 and you can have a link with more than one account, but its not the ideal setup.

[Chamassa]

It looks like your A guy is getting a pretty big boost.. thats more then 10% from guild, you wearing any heirlooms on A that B and C dont have?

Or maybe bliz dont award the full RAF values for trial accounts?
Youd have to paste more info for that tho

[Drarkan]

Come to think of it, I don't think RAF stacks with any other EXP bonus... yeah call bliz and ask them whats up

I know it didnt used to.. but from what ive heared from guildies and friends (not to discredit them, but the ones using RAF aren't the most ... observant though) It does actually stack now with the bonusses.

Hence why i would very much appriciate some solid reason for that, be it through bliz or through numbers xD
