Two Useful Addons for Multiboxers other than Jamba

[EmilyStranger]

I am sure by now everyone knows of Jamba as a great multiboxing tool, but there are still a few areas that I find are busy work when running multiple toons.

Pet Feeding
I have a team of three hunters, a protection paladin and a holy priest, and having the hunters feed their pets to keep them happy can be a chore, so I make use of Gazmik Fizzwidget's Feed-O-Matic, with the latest edition updated to Cataclysm. Bind the feed pet button on all of your characters, add that as a key broadcast in whatever your favourite multiboxing software is, and then just feed your pets whenever you feed yourself.

Character Feeding (and drinking, and mounting, and potions, and scrolls)
Having characters of varying levels, with different mounts, different drinks, different foods, different potions and everything else a team needs it is a real chore to keep them all updated on the action bars, or decided which mount to use. The addon called Give Me X manages all of that and more besides, including healthstones, scrolls, buff foods, and many more inventory items. It works so well it actually feels like it is a part of the standard Warcraft client.

I'm not a big addon junkie myself, I adopt them slowly rather than just install everything I can so when I find an addon I like, I like to let other players know about it.

Anybody else have any addons that take the drudge work out of day-to-day management of multiple characters?

More to it, I'd say;

Altoholic: Addon that shares data between accounts, downside, you need to sync data to keep it updated.

Carbonite: Great for quest tracking, data for mining ore, showing on a map, pings punks (opposing realm character) plus more. Check out Carbonite - Homepage You will have to manually install it, but simple, just input it in your "//...world of warcraft/interface/addons/" Folder. Don't think its available through curse for those of you who only know how to install addons through the curse program.

I have more, but these are good ones ontop of what Emily posted.

One addon I find extremely useful as a 'boxer... I'll toss my hat in the arena for Loot Filter.. Found this little gem a year or so ago thanks to tim.

Loot Filter - Addons - Curse

This addon has the ability to auto delete, whitelist or blacklist certain looted items based on several categories such as quality, item type or item name. bags filling up with grey vendor trash items on your lead account or slaves can really be a chore. This even makes fishing with low skill so enjoyable you only need a macro and a mouse button keybind to fill your bags with fish. loot filter will auto delete all the vendor trash if it's configured to do so.

You don't have to feed hunter pets anymore btw!

Yeah so convenient! My first toon was a hunter when pet feeding was sortta needed but not crucial, i had the tallent to make my pet happy when chomping on the throats of enemies, so that worked out. Feast on dead fel orcs instead of raw meat.
