When does Triple XP start?

I referred a friend, and He and I were going to play new characters. I logged onto my alt character with him and neither of us were getting triple XP. How long does it take to start, does his 10day trial have to run out even if he put a Credit Card onto the account and upgrades it? Or as soon as he upgrades the account does it start?

Erp... Let me clarify a bit.

Immediately after your recruit has created a trial account using your Recruit-a-Friend key, you are able to earn triple experience. There are a few caveats, however.

Make sure that each of the following conditions are true to ensure that you receive the experience bonus:

Q u o t e:

  • While in a party together, any experience gains are increased significantly.
  • If both players are present when the mob is killed both players should receive triple experience.
  • If the mob is trivial to either character, no experience bonus is earned.
      This means that if you have Player A (level 50 veteran character) grouped with Player B (level 30 RaF character) and they kill a mob that is level 32, since the mob is trivial to Player A, no bonus experience is awarded.

  • If one player is 4 or more levels higher than the other but the encounter is not trivial, only the lower player gains the experience bonus.
      This means that if you have Player A (level 15 veteran character) grouped with Player B (level 11 RaF character) and they kill a mob that is level 13, only Player B would receive the experience bonus.

  • If both players are present, experience gained from quests that are not trivial (gray difficulty) will be tripled for both characters.
  • While in a party together, all reputation gains are increased by 10%
    Increased reputation gains apply to mob kills only, not for quest rewards or other reputation granting activities.
  • All bonus reputation and experience stops at level 60.
