Core Addons

These are the addons which provide the most utility for the unique challenges facing a multiboxer. The criteria used to determine which of the addons belong in this section is the smallest number of addons providing the most essential functionality with the minimum of effort. It is for this reason no unit frames mods have been included but small feature addons such as PartyTarget have.

Trinity Bars 3

Family: Standalone

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/4975/

One of the sweet features is hotkey binding. All you have to do is turn on hotkey binding mode (with a couple clicks from an anchored button on the mini map like a lot of other addons), hover your mouse over a button on your action bar and press a key and it binds that action bar slot to that key (works with modifier keys also). So when I want to config something on my 4 boxes, I use my synch'd mouse to do it to all 4 at the same time, using the multibox broadcast from my main box to set the bind when the mouse is over it.

Omen

Family: Ace2

Threat-1.0 based threat meter. This is compatible with all other threat-1.0 based mods such as Pitbull, KThreatMeters, Recount etc

QuestHelper

Family: Standalone, will integrate with some addons

This addon tracks all quests of all party members and generates the most efficient route for completing those quests. Integrates with both Cartographer and Tomtom to produce a waypoint arrow. Cartographer also plots the waypoints on the map.

Cartographer

Family: Ace2

Excellent map extension which allows you to set waypoints and have an arrow show the bearing to that waypoint.

Also has downloadable databases for all resource types. So if you have miner and herbalist clones you can see the location of resources in the minimap.

Automaton

Family: Ace2 Url: http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Automaton

Auto accepts group invites, Auto accepts Rezzes, Auto accepts BGs

SKIPS STUPID TEXT IN QUESTS, SUCH AS THE FLIGHT MASTER AND SIMPLY SHOWS THE FLIGHT PATHS.

Auto accept summons

PartyTarget

Family: N/K

Shows all your partys targeted units in a portrait next to their own! If you decide to use a unit frames addon then this is not needed.

Others

AV Enabler

Join AV Queue all at once for getting groups/raids in.

Monitor Status

Part of Cosmos (Xzin)

http://www.wowwiki.com/MonitorStatus

VERY helpful to monitor the health of your party. Can be set to percentage based or total. Flashes when affected by various ailments and can be set to be always on. Dependant on party order though, so may not always show the same order with different leaders.

In 2.0+, Healbot Continued may be a better option than Monitor Status, depending on your preferences as it allows for click casting of decurses, etc.

Bongos

Bartender 3

(Xzin)

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2003/

These are two separate UI plugins that both do similar tasks. They allow you to have more bars on screen. What I found was most helpful for me was to mirror my physical X-Keys on screen, such that I did not have to look down to learn how to cast everything. This greatly assisted the learning process and even though I printed out the WoW Icons onto the keycaps already, it made it even easier.

Both Bongos and Bartender 3 should allow you to do this. Previously, I used Flexbar - which was extremely configurable but broke with 2.0 (may have since been fixed) but was VERY hard to configure. You almost had to program it rather than configure it.

PartyCastingBars

(Xzin)

These are really helpful. They let you monitor your entire party's casting bars on a single box. This lets you quickly know if your other boxes are unable to cast or even if they have the wrong target. This UI mod is built into Cosmos. ===TwoBoxToolkit=== (Katharsis) This will probably be replaced with multiboxer v3

http://wowinterface.com/downloads/info71…BoxToolkit.html

BindPad

(Skulk)

It allows you to Bind Spells or Macros directly to Keys - without the need to place it in one of your Actionbars. That should help you alot to keep your interface tidy. It also allows you to rebuild your XKeys- or Keyboardlayout - so its a lot easier to remember which macro is bound to what key (i think its more important to those guys, who wanted to use their keypad...like i do). Keybinding is very easy, just klick the macro, hit your key, hit "Yes i'm sure" and your Key is bound....

qUserKey

Alternative to BindPad

AutoProfit

(The IT Monkey)

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/1417/

One click sells all the "Junk" items in your bag. Even more helpful when you are running multiple boxes.

cEasyHealer

(The IT Monkey)

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/1514/

Found it super easy to configure. It gives you a dragable box for each member of your party or raid. Only wish it gave you a box for party pets as well.

Follow Variable MainChar

(tequilale)

http://files.incessant-logic.net/games/WoW/multi.zip

I was doing an addon, that allow me to follow my MainChar with one KeyStroke. If my main dies, i use the other character and press this following-key. Thats it.

Healbot

(Stealthy)

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/3802/

What this mod does is show a health bar for each person on your party (or raid) and let you cast any pre-configured beneficial spell by moving your mouse over the bar and using the appropriate key mouse combinations (Click/Shift/Ctrl/Alt). Target/Assist/Focus are also supported. For example, you can set it up to cast Renew with your left mouse button, Flash Heal with your middle mouse button and Prayer of Healing with the right mouse button. Shift-left-click could be Power Word Shield, Alt-right-click could be Cure Disease and so on.

Pitbull

(Various/Xzin)

http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/7738/

A popular Unit Frames Mod that is extremely configurable and loaded with functionality. One feature worth noting is its visual display of incoming heals. When enabled(default?), incoming heals will be displayed graphically onto character health bars, allowing you to see very clearly the healing situation in your group.

Fubar

Ughmahedhurtz There are many plugins for fubar but the following are recommended

• Fubar_MoneyFu
• Fubar_DurabilityFu (shows durability of your items + auto-repairs at NPCs)
• PerformanceFu
• FarmerFu (shows how many of a particular item(s) you've farmed)
• AllPlayedFu (time played among all chars on this account)
• RegenFu (Mp5, etc.)
• SoulJarFu (helps track your soulstone buffs; compliments CT_Buffmod nicely)
• QuestsFu (watches quest completion for whole group. VERY nice for boxers)
• SpeedFu (speedometer for WoW)===VanasKOS===

SmartBuff

(Otlecs)

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/2071/

Entirely automates buffing, allowing each character to provide specific buffs on a per-class basis. Bind SmartBuff to a key on every character and just mash the button until the entire team is fully buffed.

Simply amazing, and very, very simple to configure.

These days, it comes bundled with SmartDebuff, but there's no dependency between the two, so if you already have your own personal favourite debuff mod, you can just disable SmartDebuff and still benefit from SmartBuff.

Mobmap

Ingame Database of NPCs, recipes, drops, ... Provides a nice map overlay as well as textual info on where to find whatever it is you're looking for.
