How should I level up two priests asap? Questing is getting boring and annoying having to switch between both characters to click the quests. Is there any fast way to grind or something? I have no other high level characters and wanna get these two up as high as I can so that I can easily boost other characters later.

The fastest leveling will be to RAF link the accounts.
As in, one existing account goes to account management, clicks the "invite a friend" link, and the second account uses the emailed cd-keys to start the game.

While the two accounts are grouped and within 5 levels, they receive 300% (triple) experience for quests and kills.
If you have access to a high level toon, not on either of these accounts, you can "boost" with the non-linked account for even faster leveling.

The RAF ends at 60th for a given set of toons, but in the 90 days the accounts are linked, you can level as many sets of toons as you'd like.

Also, for every 2 levels the new account gains, ie 3/5/7.../57/59... (28 pairs of levels), they can "grant" a level to a toon on the refering account.
So if you level a toon from 1st to 60th, they can give 28 levels to a toon on the parent account. Level two toons and they can give 58 levels.
The limit is, granted levels have to be given in the 90 day account link period and you cannot grant to a toon higher then yourself or to a toon at 60th.

If you were willing to RAF a new account, you could move an existing priest to the new account for 25 bucks.
The toon is not playable for an average of 4 hours.
After which point, the two priests can play together for triple exp's, until 60th.

Not sure this is worthwhile to you or not, but it is much faster leveling then without.
My RAF'd toons (with boosting) hit 70th in under 30 hours /played, and that's without any experience boosting or RAF leveling.
I even granted a toon 58 levels since then, just leveled the toon to 98% into level 2 and gave them 58 boosts, so they're not 98% into 60th, with under 5 minutes of played time.

Find someone else to help you boost? Otherwise yes, questing is boring. I have levelled all of my multi-toons in pairs and have never found it to be too hard going, about 48 hours per pair with RaF.
If you don't, then you will probably just need to stick it out for a lot longer than if you have.

The two priests are on diff. accounts that I linked. I'm asking if I should just stick it out questing and if so what quests should I do and is there a way to get quests to auto accept when i click on the npc or no? The only way I'd be willing to quest is if it was like I just say above, auto accept/turn in from the main toon. I'd be willing to move to a different realm if someone could at least help me get a few levels to start off lols but that's not gonna happen so...

If I should do quests, are there any I should do and should skip or what? I got that jamba addon and it's supposedly auto accept quests, and its even set to do that but it never does so I don't know. I just wanna get to like lvl 50ish or something so that I can run other characters through instances :(

With the Jamba addon, you can open the quest window on both toons and have the slaves follow the master's choices.
If they're both equally geared same class, you can have the slave toons "mirror" the master for reward choices as well.

With RAF and no boosting, questing will be your fastest leveling progression.
But if that is boring, you could try instances for a bit.

With boosting, instances are probably your fastest leveling, provided the boosting toon is ahead of the challenge of the instance.
By that I mean they find the instance to be trivial for the level and gear.

Oh, so in order for the jamba quest options to work I gotta open it on the alt and then what I do to the quest on the main it does on the alt? Because I've left the quest window open once before and nothing happened still. I had all the quest options set to mirror the main toon, but nothing.

Which classes would be easiest/fastest for a beginner to multibox? Right now and for a good two-three weeks I'll only have access to two accounts, sad I know, but once I get my new computer built I'll be doing a 5 box team.

I might start over with two warlocks. Anyone got any beginner macros they could help me with for their imps, DoTs, etc?

With Jamba, I open the window on the main toon, then open the window on all of the alt toon's screens.
Once every toon has the window open, I make a selection with the main toon's window.
Since all my toons are the same class and level, I have the slave toons set to mirror the master in all situations.

For Jamba to work, you need to make sure all of your toons are checked in the Jamba main window.
The easiest way to do this, is for each slave to have itself and the master toon on its list, with the master toon selected as master in the drop down field.
Then have all toons added to the master's window, and use the push button, to send settings to all the other clients.

Assuming you have all the clients selected on each wow window and its not working, you'd probably be best off posting in the Jamba thread, which is in the macro/addon's forum.
Jafula maintains a thread for her addon there.




I'm assuming your team will be two toons, from your first post.
A healer toon and a tanking toon is a good option.
A deathknight and healer could work really well, DK's seem to put out very nice damage.
A shaman's totems could really help them... Strength of Earth, Windfury Totem, Flametongue Totem, Healing Stream Totem.... Earth Shield on DK, Water Shield on your healer.

Two ferals could work quite nicely. Follow breaks when auto attack begins, so charge in and attack, then move the non-bear behind the mob to cat dps.
Cat toon will have less threat and can heal.
After so many fights, if mana is an issue, you can easily switch roles for a bit.
And you'll have two innervates as well.

Two ranged dps of any sort would be fine too.
Mages for example would use half the mana each, since two are casting.
So you would go twice as many fights before needing to break, and both would regen mana at once.
Instead of one regening from 0 to 1000 mana, at 1 increment at a time, both regen from 500 to 1000 at 1 increment each. Half the down time too.
With two toons, you can take harder things or plow through normal things very quickly.
Two hunters could be a good option, one BM for the tanking pet the other either BM or MM.

A lot of options.





*Edit*
Two warlocks...

/castsequence Corruption, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life
/castsequence [target=party1target] Corruption, Curse of Agony, Siphon Life

/castsequence reset=x/target Immolate, Incinerate
.... where x is the duration of Immolate.

/castsequence reset=45 ,Howl of Terror
/castsequence reset=45 Howl of Terror,
.... for two AoE fears... instant with talents, strong regardless.

/castsequence Death Coil, Fear

/cast [nochanneling:Drain Life] Drain Life
... spammable Drain Life macro, which won't end drain life if you're casting that spell. Can adapt to drain soul or drain mana too.

#showtooltip
/cast [nochanneling:Drain Soul]Drain Soul
/script PU=PickupContainerItem; D=Delete CursorItem; PU(4,27); D(); PU(4,28); D();
.... This one assumes you have a 28 slot shard bag in bag slot 4 (far left bag... default backpack is 0, counts up as you head left)
.... The macro will pick up your 28th shard and delete it, which means you'll never have more then 27 in that bag.
.... If you spec'd into improved Drain Soul and use it on almost every kill for the mana regen, this macro prevents you from filling up every bag slot with shards rapidly.

/cast [pet:voidwalker] Sacrifice
/stopcasting [pet:voidwalker]
/cast Fel Domination
/stopcasting
/cast Summon Voidwalker(Summon)
.... If you have a Blueberry out, it is sacrificed on the first click and Fel Domination summoned again on the second click.


Primary:
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/cast [pet:succubus,target=focus,harm]Seduction; [pet:succubus,target=mouseover]Seduction; [pet:voidwalker]Suffering; [pet:felhunter,target=mouseover]Spell Lock;[pet:felhunter]Spell Lock;[pet:felguard]Intercept

Secondary:
/focus [pet:succubus,harm]
/clearfocus [modifier:alt]
/cast [pet:felhunter,modifier:alt,target=p_layer_]Devour Magic;[pet:felhunter,target=mouseover]Devour Magic;[pet:felhunter]Devour Magic;[pet:voidwalker]Sacrifice;[pet:felguard]Cleave

These two duplicate the Servitude Addon. On my warlock I have them bound to forward and backward thumb mouse buttons.
Voidwalker can AoE Taunt/Sacrifice. Felhunter Spell Locks/Devour's Magic. Felguard Intercepts/Charges.
Succubus seduces focus/Focus is selected.

Thanks a lot for those warlock macros. I'm gonna go a team of 5 warlocks when I get my new computer built. Should be interesting to see how things pan out with 5 warlocks.

Those macros I put on every toon or just the alts? And jamba has the follow thing in it right?

It's hard when you have no high levels to run alts through. Any faster way for a new team lvls 1 to like 20 lol.

Without boosting, 1 to 60, quests is probably your fastest leveling.
With boosting, instances better this, but without a higher level that's not an option.

Gold can be a serious issue on a server without a higher toon.
Some consider purchasing gold, but this is a bad idea and likely to cost you your accounts.
Gathering skills will slow your progress, but that's probably the best gold maker with new toons on a new server.

Give your primary toon mining/herbalism, because you cannot macro either and will need to manually click the resource nodes.
Give one of your alts skinning, because you can easily macro this...
.. /targetlastenemy
.. /use skinning(master)

The skinning skill needs to be the same as appears in the general tab of your abilities page (P default short cut).

It is probably worthwhile to include tailoring/enchanting on one of your toons as well, because you will be able to disenchant instance drops for a good source of income.
Auction house the shards/dust and the skins/herbs/minerals; have an auction mule that does all of your selling and never leaves the AH/Mailbox area.
Tailoring will cost you cloth, but most of the stuff can be disenchanted, and in Wrath a tailor gets bonus cloth on looted mobs.





Jamba has a follow command, which I've bound to G18 but you can bind to whatever keybind you like in WoW.
The command is something like... /jamba followmaster all. You could get the exact command from the Jamba documentation or somewhere in that thread.
It doesn't matter if all toons spam the macro, because they are each telling all toons with the "all" tag to follow the master. By default I believe every toon is in the group "all".

Other tags can be worthwhile. Any class that is unique should have their own tag.
You could have the paladin buy symbol of kings from the reagent vendor, based on being in the group Pal and members of that group buying the reagent until they have 400 of it.
Very nice feature for Jamba, cannot recommend the addon highly enough. It makes boxing 20x easier.





For fastest leveling with RAF...
Take all the kill quests and kill things.

Most collection/gathering quests are a waste of time, but it doesn't hurt to take those you're not familiar with.
If the drop rate sucks, abandon the quest.
If you need to kill 20 kobolds and collect 10 candles, see how many candles you have after the kills are done.
Most collection quests aren't worthwhile, but you could either skip them all, or collect on one toon only and rotate which toon does the collection.

Until Outland, there are multiple zones for leveling up.
From an alliance perspective you could do the Human, Draenei and Night Elf quests.
Progress to Westfall, Auberdine, Loch Modan quests.
Progress to Redridge, Duskwood, Wetlands quests.
Only do the quests that are kill stuff, and for the most part because of RAF you'll finish each level range very quickly compared to single-box non-RAF.
In Outland, you pretty much have 1 zone for each range, but can also instance. There are plenty of quests to easily level even without many collection types especially now that we need only 2/3rds exp per level 61-70.
