So if i refer a friend , i get 3x experience after i meet them. Will i still get 3x experience if i am not grouped with them or they are not online?

Like if i get my brother to play his trial ,im currently level 34, as much as i want to play with him i know were too far apart in levels to really play toghether. would i still get 3x experience if i dont play with him but i party up with him and chill with him from time to time at the bank?

No, those benefits are between the veteran and their recruit.

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.
