As long as the two “linked” characters are fighting mobs that would normally grant xp or are turning in quests that would no be considered “low level” you will get the triple xp. I had my level 9 Pally and my trial account level 9 Shammy in RFC with a 70 and they were getting 60-70xp per kill. Even better, the quest to kill the guy in RFC rewarded 5250xp at level 9!! (Lvl 9 only requires like 6500 xp in the entire level!)

The second part of the question is a negative. When my Shammy was 8, but my Pally was 7 I had the option to grant him a level. That option was taken away when both were 8. So, you can’t grant levels that will surpass the trial toon’s.

If you are like me and any friends you have that would play a game like this already play, I highly suggest referring yourself (if you can afford of course, don’t do anything silly). The levelling will just really be a joke. The 3x XP on mobs is great, but it’s the 3x quest XP that will really do major damage.

Hmm… I will test that out for you whenever I get a chance.

So, couple questions for you knowledgeable folks (I have emailed Blizzard but not sure how quickly they respond or if they will give me proper answers)

1). The FAQ states that triple xp is not rewarded when the mobs are trivial to one of the linked toons. My question is this….what if it is not gray to the linked toons, BUT you have a higher level guildie helping out. Is the xp bonus still negated?

2.) Granting levels – the FAQ states the recruit can only grant levels to linked toons that are not higher level than you. If you have a level 40 recruit and a level 40 referring veteran….can you give those 20 levels to the veteran and make him a 60 or do the rules prohibit you from granting levels that will put a toon above the recruits level?

Thanks to anyone that helps.
