RAF bonus XP, not working

#0 - Aug. 31, 2009, 11:13 p.m.

So this account is linked to my GF's account, my account is the recruit and she is the veteran.

She started a new character at the same time I created this one so we could quest together for a while and enjoy the 300% xp bonus. That worked fine.

Just a moment ago, she ran me trough a dungeon with her lvl 80 warrior (also on the same linked account) and I didn't get any bonus XP from the RAF system.

In the FAQ it clearly states that when the veteran is 4+ levels higher than the recruit, the recruit still gets 300% from kills while the veteran gets none.

Yet my combat log shows no RAF XP when she kills the mobs.

Any help on this please?

Q u o t e:
In the FAQ it clearly states that when the veteran is 4+ levels higher than the recruit, the recruit still gets 300% from kills while the veteran gets none.

Yes and no, Shivha. The FAQ says:

Q u o t e:

Do our characters (my character and my recruit's character) have to be same level in order to receive triple experience?

No, but you must be within 4 levels of one another and meeting all other triple experiences requisites in order for both characters to receive triple experience. If this level requirement is not met, only the lower level character will receive the bonus.

For example: Should your character be 5 levels higher than your recruit, only your recruit's character will be eligible for triple experience (provided that all other requirements are met, as well).

That answer does not negate a previous answer though which is:

Q u o t e:

Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?

No. In order to receive triple experience, you must be partied with a character on a linked account and within 100 yards of one another. With this, both characters (veteran and recruit) must be present for each kill and quest completion.

Also, should monsters or quests be marked as "Low Level" or listed as gray in difficulty for either character, triple experience will not apply.

So if the encounter is considered trivial by either members of the group neither of your will receive triple experience.

My bad, i didn't notice that.

Thank you for the quick answer

It is a fairly complicated system, Shivha. :)

Good luck and have fun!
