Recruit & Friend & Triple XP - Fastrack to L60

[TeaLeaf]

I am considering using the Recruit a Friend option on my account to create another character and use the triple XP bonus that my new character and the recruited new character would both benefit from to fastrack the new toons to L60.  The Recruit a Friend FAQ ia here.

It would suit someone looking to join the game for the first time and quickly catch up with the rest of the existing players (avoiding that slow grind to Level 60).

-or-

It would suit an existing Wow player who is looking to quickly get a new character or class to L60 to prepare for the expansion (afaiaa in this case you would need to buy a new copy of Wow for the new licence key, then when you get to L60 you would transfer the new character to your main account to use the TBC you already own).

Is anyone interested in this type of arrangement please let me know.

Ofc requires the other toons to be level 60, but still..

Great find Twine has just got wow and hopefully I can sort this out for him !? :yahoo:

I've read the FAQ but still uncertain about how this works.

Someone with an account already, invites a friend to play. The new player gets a 10 day trial from the email. The new player then creates a level one character, and so does the original player. They both level to 60 with the triple xp boost. Then they could grant 30 levels each, to any of the original players characters?

 Is this right? :g:

[TeaLeaf]

All correct except the only new player can grant bonus levels to the existing player's toons.  It does not work the other way around.  Sheepy & I can confirm triple XP makes things go very very fast.

Ahh ok, thanks. I'd be happy to help you if you wish! But of course its up to you.

[Luminance]

what if ur rested, do you get 6 times the xp??

And also the veteran receives a free lvl for every 2 the new guy does right?

[Jewelz^]

hmmm... me and gibbo were thinking of getting into WoW maybe this would be the best way in? but we wont be able to pay through the internet..(sorry for hijacking abit)is there other ways to pay?

[Ally]

Jewelz, you can buy pre paid cards http://www.amazon.co.uk/World-Warcraft-Pre-paid-Game-Card/dp/B000BPCILI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1220220268&sr=8-1 although they are more expensive than paying by card on the internet.

Also, Lumi:

How does this affect / stack with Rest State experience?
While you are partied with a linked recruit, any Rest State you have accumulated is not consumed. Only the tripled experience from the Recruit-A-Friend program is applied.

So just let me get my head around this, a friend takes my 10 day trial then upgrades. I invite him into a group of mine, being that i have a level 70 character will he just ding up to 60 or do i have to go back and help him with certain quests?

[TeaLeaf]

Existing player logs into Account Management as uses the 'Recruit a Friend' option to invite friend to a 10 day trial (using special authentication key).
Friend goes out and buys Wow (£9).
Existing player and friend both start L1 toons and level up together. (triple XP only applies when you same level and partied together).
Quest, kill, loot and watch the XP roll in.
As friend levels, he can grant bonus levels to the existing players other lower level toons.
Existing player gets a month free play time when Friend pays for his first month free play time.
Existing player gets a special mount when Friend pays for his first 2 months of play time.

Aha fair enough so a level 60 toon in 1/3 of the time. ty

[Jim]

IIRC it only works if a mob isnt trivial (grey'd out) so you can be a couple of levels higher / lower and still get the 3x XP

[Jewelz^]

so what if someone sent me 10 day trial thing and i didnt like it and didnt pay for the full game? would you still get triple xp?
im confused already! :roflmao:
also, can you buy gamecards from shops?

[TeaLeaf]

If you do the 10 day trial:
-you can only level to L10
-you get the triple xp during that period
-you cannot trade, mail or whisper people until you have a full account or you are on their friends list

If you do not buy the full version of the game then the referrer gets nothing.

If you buy the full version of the game then yes you can use game cards to pay for your game time.
