Gear while multiboxing?

[Corono]

So new to this. As in just started today. and im rolling 2 shamans. RaF.

2 questions.

1. Grinding faster for lvling or doing quests? with RaF and duelboxing on.

2. Gear? how do i keep it up to date on each toon? i know with 5 boxing you can do instances by yourself over and over to grind and get gear. but what about only a 2boxer?

1. Quests. You get 1/2xp for the kill then 3x that for RaF but quests give each char 3x.
2. I don't plan on keeping the equipment too up-to-date. At 3x XP you will out level equipment quickly. Better to focus on leveling and getting to 60 IMHO. Then again, I have a 70 on the same server/faction so the 70 grinds gold for AH if I really want to upgrade something.

RAF makes questing _insane_ I spent a total of 4 minutes at level 50 because of the hinterlands quests, started at level 48, dinged to 49 while questing (less than 20% in) then I handed in quests and dinged to 51 with ~60% of the way through that level.

There is no real point in keeping gear 'up to date' as you just level so fast you will probably spent more gold on training than you have (especially if leveling on a new server) plus you should be able to do most quests with quest reward gear anyhow :)

Sounds good. so for things such as collection quests i have to go onto each seperate toon and pick up the item? and to accept the quests i have to do the same?

That's why we usually avoid those kind of quests, because they're a pain when solo, but damn near torture for boxers. If it's not part of a good quest chain, or doesn't have good rewards. We usually skip them to go do kill quests, the kind that say "I hate raptors, go kill 10 for me" which we can do in seconds, because 1 kill counts on every toon for solo or 5-boxing, you only need to kill 10.

now for the second part, macro and hotkey this:

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();
/script RepopMe()

This is your one button to accept shared quests, rez, groups and trades. I can pick up quests with one toon and provided they're shareable (ones with items aren't) I can easily share and accept without a ton of clicking. Turning them in, however, you'll still have to click like mad, go to clone 1 click, clone 2 click.... etc.
