Proffesions for a dual boxer?

[Pewbolt]

Hello everyone, I recently started to dual-box, and my my, in the 3 years that i have played wow, this is by far the most enjoyable experience that i have found so far.

I was wondering a few questions towards the professions that i should take while level my dual elemental shamans.

Also, I was wondering, is their and easier way to get quests and hand quests in? The macro's that were listed before confused the crap out of me.

For the quests, try the addon here ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=96912').
As far as professions go, I know a few do the gathering quests and enchanting, though it might be an idea to have enchanting on both, depends what your plans are.

Wow! A very quick response. Thank you, I was think Jc/alchemy or something along those lines, I really have no idea, is their any one else that could put some input into the profession question?

My dudes are still pretty low. But I have a Skinner (big money, big money) and an enchanter (for DE more then anything else). Since they are all clothies I plan to be a tailor on all of them. I will just power level it all when I get to 70 or so. I am banking all my cloth till then. I already have a 70 herber and miner so I personally am good there. I might pick up JC on one just for something to do.

On my groups, I try to cover all of the tradeskills, especially gathering. I know it slows my leveling substantially, but I make good money and sort of like that aspect of the game. Just make sure your gatherers are within easy "eye reach" otherwise your neck will get tired glancing over to check for nodes =)

Make the lead MasterLoot so all non-quest blues and greens go to the secondary, and sell the ores. When you hit certain zones that have a lot of beasts to kill, you will find your bags overflowing with leather. I'm in Un'Goro right now, and my skinner/leatherworker just filled her bank up with leather, seriously, I have too much! LOL.

I suggest herbalism and mining on the main, and skinning on an alt. Then make a skinning macro on that alt, bound to some key of choice:

/assist party1
/cast Skinning

Then you can just target the corpse with your main and press the macro key, and the alt will skin it for you. Since this is not possible with mining or herbalism, skinning is definately the gathering skill of choice for an alt.


Also note; turn auto-loot on for the skinner so that leather is looted automatically.

between 2 characters, i took: herb/enchanting & skinning/mining
It's been a pretty nice money maker.

I 2-box a paladin & shaman. On the paladin I have mining and jewelcrafting, on the shaman I have enchanting and blacksmithing. On another server I have mining and skinning on the paladin and leatherworking and enchanting on the shaman.

I added my /focus /follow macro to the skinning macro, after successful skinning, just click the hotkey one more time to get the skinner back on track with the rest.

Just to note.
If you put herbalism and mining on different toons, then you can track both on the mini maps at the same time.
You'll never have to switch what your tracking and can go around and never miss a node.
