Hello.

i would like to ask you guys a question.

do you really level your characters with multi-boxing?
if you do how long time does it take?
if you do how do you level? quest or farm?

i really think its HARD to level by 3 mages farming and 1 healing. (i got 5 accounts now)

i got to level 16-17 before i gave up :p.

now i got 5 account closed and doing nothing, and i really want to multi-box again.

i tought of maybe bot all the mages up and then i got a 70 druid on my main account i coud multi-box with?
what do you think about this?

botting is against the TOS.

Just play the game. Enjoy quests, enjo instances ... Just do what you normally do with 1 char. It does go slower but there are enough multiboxers out there stating leveling 5 chars to 70 is the same in time as leveling 2 chars to 70.

Just make fun, don't force yourself and gogogo

ps: Leveling 5 chars as a group is alot more fun then leveling 1, as you can do every quest 'on your own' ;)


and I think he meant multiboxing, not botting .. Other wise I'd kick him in the nuts and set his pc on fire!!11

I now have a standard 5 box team, 1 pali and 4 shaman. I've never done the quests in exodar, so I'm enjoying going through them all. It does take a long time do to 5 gathering quests, but its somewhat cathartic for me to do so. They are lvl 14 now. Looking forward to getting them in their first instance.

The average /played for a 5 box team is 14-20 days.



Yes levelling is boring, yes it slow you take a group penalty. Yes it gets faster. All this shit is covered over and over again in previous posts. I know the search function is pretty horrible but at least try.

If you don't stop to pvp you can be 70 in 6-10days depending on your experience and group composition. If you power lvl some it can be done in 3-5days easy. So far in your post(s) you've mentioned breaking the TOS atleast twice and credit card fraud once... I don't think multi-boxing or the general goal of this community is for you.

i got my 4X shammy crew to 70 in 7 days and 10 hours... all questing and 1 run per instance. Rested exp played a big big part, prob 50% of /played time was in rest.

Toned calm down you mad man... botting once and that was it, dont get your panties in a fit mr. I want to fit in.


Even if he does mention that then who cares, this community is for dual boxing, and personally I dont think its right for you!

Then read our "Community Guidelines."

Consider this a first warning.

just say no to botting!

I level all my multibox groups (anything 2+) together from as early as possible (usually level 10 or sooner) just to get a feel for how they work together as a group. I will run quests then grind level appropriate instances as well if needed... staying away from collection quests with low drop rates when possible.

Since hitting outland i have been instance farming up till honored rep then running quests - started ramparts at 60 without any outside help; and its going very well - decent gear from instancing and nice reputation from starting quests rep at honored. so far its taking me a bit longer than straight questing (sitting at 10 days played on my pal/sham group at level 63) but I can clear furnace/ramparts/slavepens so far and the practice that some of the boss fights will give you is wonderful. example: nazan took me a good long while to beat, but i got him down at level 61 without pots/higher level help after a couple hours or so of refining my multi-toon movement.

my 2cents: level your toons together as a group if you want to play them as a group cohesively at 70... the overall experience at 70 will be much better if you know the ins and outs of your group from leveling them up together.

Now, if you are leveling a single toon to fit into an existing pod... thats a bit different and I tend to go with instance boosting instead.

do you really level your characters with multi-boxing?
Yes. The alternative would be...? Not leveling our characters with multi-boxing? Single-leveling our characters? It is far less efficient to solo-level than it is to level all of the characters at the same time. Yes, it takes a long time. No, there is no faster alternative that will not get you banned.



if you do how long time does it take?
Search box, upper right corner. Type in "/played". Press the green arrow button.


if you do how do you level? quest or farm?
See above searchbox example



i really think its HARD to level by 3 mages farming and 1 healing. (i got 5 accounts now)

i got to level 16-17 before i gave up :p.
If you think it's hard to level this way, and you are not enjoying this style of gameplay, then perhaps multiboxing is not the right hobby for you. It only gets harder as you get to outlands. Multiboxing is not an ezmode hobby that everyone will enjoy.




i tought of maybe bot all the mages up and then i got a 70 druid on my main account i coud multi-box with?
what do you think about this?

Botting is against the terms of use and will get you banned (A -> B).
Discussion of things that are against the terms of use is against the rules of this forum ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1840') (B -> C).

Therefore, (A -> C) discussion of botting is against the rules of this forum ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1840').

Hypothetical Syllogism. ('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_syllogism')



So, I will not discuss this and neither should you.

These threads created by people who don't even try and are asking really bizzaro/inane questions are getting old. Perhaps we should just ignore them and let them roll off.

Crap, now I've contributed to the problem.

Seriously, what was the poster expecting?? "No, shhh, don't tell anyone but we enter cheat codes and POOF!!! all our characters are L70 and PvP just like that guy with the cool videos".

My characters have not long dinged 40, and they are about 4-5 days played.

I do instances 95% of the time.. multiple runs to get lots of blues for my crew - i enjoy strutting around in blues and making good use of them.

I leveled my Druid + 4x Shaman from scratch to 60 by doing Instance Quests, Kill quests, escort quests and Guaranteed Drop Collection quests.

I did not spend any more time in an instance except what was required to finish all related quests, except SM Cath I ran a few times for fun and ease.

I lvled Tailoring on my Shaman to 200 and Enchanting on my main to 270.

They are all 60 now, with 8 days played. I can't even describe how much more fun it was then playing 1 char and doing the usual grind. I quit WoW before multiboxing due to boredom.
