Recruit a Friend: Worth it? Look here.

'Ello, Finny here. Some feedback on Recruit a Friend.

Finn said:

Well, I've leveled three characters with Recruit a Friend now. People wonder whether it's worth it; whether they should devote time to leveling with a friend, whether they should persuade their friends to allow you to recruit them.

Well, as a simple answer: it depends. Some people utilize Recruit a Friend extremely well (me, for example), and others are sluggish and don't do particularly well with it at all. For example, all three of my recruit a friend characters have reached 60 within one day of playing time, and that's not from no-lifing, it's from using my time well.

In my opinion, Recruit a Friend is a refreshing relief from ''manually, organically'' rearing characters. It's like having organic chickens and battery farmed chickens; the battery farmed chickens being the Recruit a Friend characters that level ridiculously quickly and rarely leave instances whilst leveling.

If you are intending to level two characters with Recruit a Friend, I advise:

Finn's way to 60 said:

- Access to another account with an 80 character on your realm on it. This allows you to ''dual box'', loading two WoW screens, and running you and your friend through the following instances.

- Do Recruit a Friend with someone reliable, who has a fair amount of time to play and is consistent and isn't frequently rushing around on wild goose chases or doing whatever else.

- Don't bother with professions. They slow you down. You want the best yield in the shortest time possible!

- Do not fret about having the best gear or fancy frills. It doesn't matter when you're being ran through numerous instances (assuming you choose to follow the instructions I've provided below).

- As a specific, yet really simple guide to the easiest way to 60:

Quests to 15. Irritating, but easier with Recruit a Friend.

15-20 in Stockades. This should take about 20 minutes.

20-35 in Scarlet Monastery (Cathedral). This should take a few hours altogether.

35-45 in Zul'Farrak. Again, a few hours. Don't forget to pick up all of the Tanaris (Gadgetzan) quests up for Zul'Farrak when you hit level 40. These quests give about 2 levels altogether when handed in.

45-55 in Scholomance. Recommended that you use a good player to run you through.

55-60 in Ramparts. Really fun, good xp, and quite easy, provided you have a decent player running you through.

From what I saw of your experience, the only negative thing was that you levelled so fast that your partner didn't really get much of a chance to learn to play their class properly. Aside from that, there's really nothing I can think of that can possibly make RAF a bad experience.

RaF is great but then again bad for a First time player of WoW. The Upside: You get 60 In a day or 2 days. The downside: You dont learn your class as good as you would with non-RaF. I cant really vouch for RaF Because Everytime I did my RaF My partner bailed on me.

That's why I just did RaF with my cousin. I bought him the game, and when he hit 60 he transfered to his main account.
