When should my bot team meet up?

I figured due to how far away my toons are (I just started, they're in their respective noob zones), I should wait a couple levels before i bring them together and start duoing content.

I made a mnk/shm, the monk is level 6 and the shaman I just started so she's level 1.

Just wondering an optimal time to get together so I dont miss important noob/armor quests etc and when its safe to make the run across zones.

I was thinking get level 10 on each then start, but was seeing if the server forum knew any better. ;)
 
you can group up now, your lower level will catch up as long as teh higher level gets xps per the kill.

I was foolish and tried to play a monk (single box) I didnt know about playing another character until my monk was around 55. I made a level 1 shaman and grouped the level 55 monk with the level 1 shaman and before I could hamer out 3 aa's on the monk the shaman was already level 55.

Granted I did some quest turn ins which really speeds up the leveling process.

But +/- 10 levels apart isnt all that large of a gap on here.

Fact: You can adventure band a level 55 with a level 65, while the 65 gains xps (2 man band) he gets 1/2 the normal xps and the level 55 gets the other half (like he was in the same group).
 
What is an "adventure band"?

I was foolish and tried to play a monk (single box) I didnt know about playing another character until my monk was around 55. I made a level 1 shaman and grouped the level 55 monk with the level 1 shaman and before I could hamer out 3 aa's on the monk the shaman was already level 55.

Are you saying that powerleveling at an insane rate is possible?
 
An Adventuring Band is used to split all experience gained between members so that they level up at the same rate. You may have up to 6 members in an adventuring band. Members do NOT have to be grouped or even online to gain the experience from an adventuring band. Whatever experience you would have gotten is split up evenly between the members of your band. When you're online, you receive the experience from your adventuring band (if any has been contributed) roughly every five minutes. Every kind of experience is shared while in an adventuring band. This includes not only regular experience gained from killing mobs, but also experience gained from quests, tradeskill skill-ups, etc.


The max level difference between the characters in a band is 10. You can no longer level a character from 1 - 65 by banding him with your 65 character.

yay wiki.

Get them together asap.
 
Thank you for the info. Very cool.


Is a band recommended/effecient?

And, how do I make said band? Should I group with them, too? Or should I not worry about it if we're in a 'band'?
 
The band members get the base xp of the mob (new area bonus, and the 65 AA bonus don't apply to my knowledge). whoever you want to be leader type /cm bandcreate. Target whoever else you want in it, target then and type /cm band invite. I'd be banded any time you are playing only one character of the two.
 
Can you start and stop this band at any time?

Monk kills and gets 115 xp --10% zone bonus

Shaman is logged off. But gets 100 xp? or 50?
 
yes you can. But, the exp updates every 5 minutes. wait until you get an experience update before you kill the band. He'll get whatever the monk is getting minus the area bonus afaik. And i'm pretty sure if you are around newport it has a negative area bonus so he'll actually get more!
 
Nice. Thanks for all the info.

The Shaman met up with the monk last night, per a nice rogue clearing through BB. Forgot his name now though
