Ready to try 5 accounts.. Shaman

Using Interact with Target and Jamba should simplify questing accept/turn in. Otherwise, you'll have to try mouse broadcasting.

If you go the Jamba route, some of this may help you. Quotes are taken from another site.

Goto Jamba options:

In Quest:

Select "All Auto Select Quests"

In Quest Completion - under Quest Has No Rewards Or One Reward:

Select "All Automatically Complete Quest"

In Quest Completion - under Quest Has No Rewards Or One Reward:

You have a few choices here - if your teams are levelling and you don't particular care about gear, choose "Toon Auto Chooses Best Reward". This means that your teams automatically try and get the best piece of gear for them. Its not perfect, but it means you fly through the quest screens if used with the options above (just interact with a quest giver and everything gets done for you). If the reward is a blue (rare) or higher, the toon will wait for you to choose a reward in that case instead of trying to choose the best one. If this doesn't suit choose any of the other options, they should be self explanatory.

Questions? Please ask.

just started 4 new accounts boosting with my main account, your post was very helpful Ualaa.

I might give Jamba a try, I haven't used it myself in maybe a year?

Poyzon do you use it yourself?

[Poyzon]

Definitely. Quest turn ins are nearly instant for me now.

IWT + Jamba =
This really does make things easier, my machine couldn't handle the mouse broadcast, but if you hit the IWT button after all characters focus the NPC bam opens quests from NPC, once clicking with Main on the quest to accept or complete this will send through Jamba that you completed the quest.

The quest dialog must be open on all characters for them accept/complete the quest at the same time.

I don't necessarily recommend all of the Jamba modules for everyone.
But, it is very nice that the addon is modular now, and you can pick and choose what portions to use.

Definitely two thumbs up, for Jamba.

[Poyzon]

The proc module of Jamba is nice, but I don't use it yet. When I get to 80 and want to tweak my DPS, I'm sure it will be helpful. Knowing when your other toons have clearcasting procs is definitely helpful.

Now if I could just get Jamba + Castbars + Healbot + Party buff/debuffs, all in a single frame, I'd be happier than a pig in mud (and my UI would be less cluttered).

I've got to say, this thread has been extremely helpful. I managed to level four shaman to 60 in 1 day 16 hours played, which consequently earned me the grant a level feature, enough to make my 22 druid a level 60 and my 33 warlock a level 60. The other two slaves were used to level a toon on the accounts that granted the levels to the druid and warlock, to create two level 27 toons which consequently then granted levels 2-28 on a mage on the main account.

I can't complain, in fact, I'm working on doing another four set of toons -- since I only have 8 more days of TBC left on 3 of the slaves (interestingly enough, 3 of the four slaves are only original WoW -- but Blizzard graciously allows you 10 days trial period of TBC, plenty of time to use TBC to get from 55 to 60 in HFR).

The next "problem" I'm facing however is getting Jamba to work. I have the team setup nicely to where it shows the team accurately in the master team "frame?".. but that's where things seem to stop. Jamba doesn't actually seem to do the invites (on the master's instance inviting the slaves), so I use a game macro to do that. Now, Jamba DOES auto accept the invites on the slaves though, so that is nice I suppose. Then the

/jamba-follow master all

Works fine as well, as well as informing me when slaves break from auto follow. But.. that's it. This hardly seems worthwhile of running the addon, IF, that was all it was intended to do, which by my reading, it's not. Sooooo. What in the world am I doing wrong I've asked myself.

First off, Jamba's feature list seems to be lacking in comparison to all the settings found within Jamba, this going by the authors website. FTL, WTF? How's that for acronyms. I cannot for the life of me find out what FTL stands for in Jamba. FTL = For the Lose in forums to my knowledge, but even if that is what it stands for in Jamba, that hardly describes what it DOES.

Also, when running around these newly made level 2 Orc's, I'm trying to make use of the very nicely congested/small starting area quests.. accepting a quest on one slave (as my master has done some of them already back in his hay day) does not yield quest acceptance on the other slaves -- as I'm lead to believe is supposed to be a feature of Jamba. I appear to have all the settings correct by my forum searches (both here and ***************** I believe it is), so, anyone have suggestions for this please?

Also, looting. Currently I've been going to the instance window of the toon that needs to loot, for quest items. While I know automation is prohibited, certainly there has to be a way to control this from my master. Speaking of which.

Macros. I was fairly disappointed to find that WoW evidently saves spell bar information (for the lack of proper terminology --- what spells are found on which spell bars basically is what I mean) server side. This sucks to put it bluntly. Whenever I'm in the multiboxing mood, I'll run Pwnboxer using a 2nd/seperate WoW directory/install. This way I'm not toggling addon's on and off between the times where I'm playing just one of my "mains" and raiding, vice multiboxing.

I suppose I figured the game saved spell bar information locally.. nope. So, imagine my surprise when I played the game using my "main/raiding wow install" to find that all the macros I made on my Paladin on the multiboxing wow install, were on my Paladin even on my raiding install. CRAAAP. Pally spell rotation gone, taunt gone, this that the other thing.. gone. Granted, it wasn't tough to get them all back in order, though, it did make me a few minutes late for the raid. The question in this... is there a way to STOP the client (specifically the multiboxing wow install clients) from updating such things as spell bar infromation on the server and keep it client side only?

I'd really love to make full use of Jamba, it seems it would be a huge help... but at this time the way its operating (or lack thereof), the few macros I have seem to take care of everything that I have managed to get Jamba to do (with the exception of the auto accept of invites on the slaves -- but I believe I remember seeing a macro that exists that WOULD allow this without using Jamba.

Again, your help is appreciated. BTW, know I have tried to make full use of the search feature here and on *****************, as well as utilizing Google. Unfortunately, "Jamba' is the name of an energy drink (I believe it is), so anything with "Jamab" in it pops up a ridiculous number of times -- in fact suffice to say the first search page is full of just the energy drink. Heh.

[Ualaa]

Generally if you know which user made a post, searching by username (in advanced search) is the best option.

If you don't know who made the post, or are searching for generic information... search with +site:dual minus boxing or +site:multiboxing and of course +whatever.

A great way to do this in google is this:

Open Google
Type in something like this: site:multiboxing.com follow macro
