Adventure Band XP penalty

Quick question about adventure bands. After some searching I found out how they work / how the xp is divided out and that part is pretty clear.

Now for the question. How are lvl gaps handled with the adventure band system. I really hate the first 20 levels, so I was considering rolling up my new cleric on another account, joining him in an adventure band with my mage ( lvl 52 ) and lvling up the cleric that way.

What kind of XP penalty would the cleric be facing?
 
If you can group with them and share exp then you can band together to get exp

So a 20 cleric couldnt band with a 52 mage

You can group at any level and get xp, as long as the highest member in the group would be getting xp. It's pretty terrible for the lowest level character though.

Yea, I thought that was the case for Adventure bands as well.

If that's the case, the part on the wiki that says you have to be within 10 levels of each other to receive adventure band xp is outdated.
 
Well I tried it, and my level 12 Warrior got no XP when banded with my level 28 druid and roomate's level 28 shaman, no matter the source of the XP. He did get one small chunk of XP right after he joined the band, then nothing. I only left him in the band for about 15 or 20 minutes, but in that time he should have received more than the one XP block. The other toons in the band had gotten XP several times in that period, and I even zone him a few times, which usually seems to make band XP show up.

I will confirm that now (a few days later), the WAR is 17 and the other toons are 32, and we were able to group up and as long as we were killing blues or light blues, he got XP in the group, but he had to be physically present of course, which is not as convenient as an ADV band.
 
i tried putting my lvl 1 cleric in a band with my lvl 23 necro and no exp seemed to be divided and none was given to the cleric
 
Thought it was like 20 levels *shrug*

Honestly PLing a 1st level toon to 20 would be rather craptastic to his skills. You would then have to baby sit the toon to get thier skills back up to par or even green mobs woudl destroy you.

1-20 doesn't take that long anyways.
 
In my experience the band takes about 10-15 minutes to update and receive the experience. I've also seen that after about 10 levels 65 banded with 54, receives less experience than a person lvl 55 would. I currently have 3 in my band, so while some people may get 18k a kill, i receive 6k and then i get the other experience (assuming both are in the group) as before, 10-15 minutes. Zoning/logging works as well...
