My cousin has been playing for most of the summer now and he has already been passed up lol. I wish I would have had that option when leveling my character! Although maybe for your first character it is just nice to level normally and really get the feel of things. I really enjoy reading your blog, it was one of the first WoW blogs I found...well needless to say I thought it was a great idea, so I made one myself. I am linking you. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218979755811382055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-89717028990910971912008-08-27T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-27T10:26:00.000-04:00Thank you for the info! :)#2--> I reran the nu...Thank you for the info! :)<BR/><BR/>#2--> I reran the numbers and it's just $5 more than I thought it would be ($35 instead of $30) for referring yourself and buying the subscription (the original game is bought in lieu of your first month and is $20). My husband already upgraded his trial account so we could level past 20 (and so I can trade him gold to pay for his skills) and we're both level 8 after less than an hour's work.<BR/><BR/>#4--> That's kind of an awesome idea. :) I have a 54 mage I'd like to avoid the 54-59 grind for, and after her I have a level 10 warrior who could use some love.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275637177494490776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-98202484097177760.post-28300703328987190412008-08-27T09:17:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:17:00.000-04:00Having looked into this myself (a lot), I figured ...Having looked into this myself (a lot), I figured I'd pass along a bit of what I know.<BR/><BR/>1. You're not going to be able to do this without buying at least the original game. The problem is the level 21 cap on trials, other than that it would work fine.<BR/><BR/>2. If your characters are different levels, the 300% bonus only works for the lower level character. This negates the idea of running instances to level the invitees character using the 300% bonus. Also works against using a trail account following you around past level 21 for bonus exp.<BR/><BR/>3. You can grant one level to an inviter's (lower level) character, per 2 levels gained on the invitees character. However, levels you earn like this have to be granted before you hit level 60 or they're going to disappear (hence you can't use this trick past level 60 either).<BR/><BR/>4. Given point 3, a good strategy is to level another alt to level 30. Thus you can grant those extra 29 levels to the alt, pushing them past the 30-59 grind (saving the most leveling time).<BR/><BR/>5. Another point on the gaining levels. When I tried this with a trail account, I noticed that when a level is granted, the xp bar remains the same number of bars full. Hence, If you get almost to 31, before granting those levels, you can save even more time, and wind up just before 60.<BR/><BR/>6. Another benefit is that you can summon one another (as long as the one being summoned is below level 60), with a 60 minute cooldown. Aside from being obviously useful if you choose different starting races, you can use it to share hearths. Basically, when you need to hearth, one of you does it, and summons the other. Then the other still has a summon and hearth available for next time. 2 hearths per hour instead of one.<BR/><BR/>7. Another benefit of the summoning is, that if you have a character in Outland, you can go to Shatt, summon your friend (and later have them summon your alt), and set your hearths there. This allows you to move very quickly around the old world.<BR/><BR/> I'm sorry about the horribly long comment, but as I said, I've looked into this a lot, and figured I should share. :)<BR/><BR/> More details on the specifics found here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20588 .<BR/>Good luck with the powerleveling. :)DMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241205288159285632noreply@blogger.com
