Going to try 5-boxing tonight!

[Xiku]

So I have tried some 3-boxing and it was okay but I don't see why I shouldn't got for the full 5, so I signed up for 2 trial accounts and once I get home from work I am going to try it out.

First I am going to try 4 Hunters and Shaman then maybe 4 Priests and a Paladin, haven't decided yet but it looks like fun (except the first hour of setting everything up :P)

Wish me luck!

Oh and they are going to be Dwarfs because Dwarfs are awesome!

Go for it. 5 boxing is great fun. Yes the setting up is painful, but you get better at it. My advice is just get the basics going and change as you go and learn, you can spend hours setting up what you think is going to work best, but really the best way is to make the changes on the fly , as you learn what spell rotations work best etc.

5 Dwarves: Whatever floats your boat :P

Just in case .... Use real names in your trial accounts contact info ;) :thumbsup:

Not sure if it's just me, but blizz wouldn't let me set up more then 2 trial accounts when i was experimenting with 5 boxing. i went and got 5 full copies, but could only do 2 before. just an fyi

I was restricted to 3 accounts.

I went out and bought orginal copies the next morning myself. (still need 1 more)

Started a warrior+4 shaman party myself a few days ago, first few levels are boring though and setting up was a pain. D: But you got experience with 3 so setting up should go smoothly then. :p

Good luck though! And as far as set ups go. I'd probablu suggest some capable tanking class. Shaman go a long way, but those movies you see of 5x shaman owning up places, are usually already geared up people. xP And tanking is quite fun to do as a main too.

They say paladins are easiest for tanking multibox, druids second and warriors third. I just like being a warrior myself though. :p

Hehe yes of course.

Anyways I decided to try 4 Warlocks and a Priest but the Human starting area is so terrible since there are so many pick up quests I only made it to 3 :( (picked it for the reputation racial)

Think I will try again tonight with a Dwarf Priest and 4 Gnome Warlocks

Every single area have a lot of collection quests, just think of it as a mini grinding session.
For example, I'm just done with shimmering flat quests on my group, got almost 2 full level of experience doing them (I'm extremely unlucky with the drop rate in general), I could probably be sued for turtle genocide.

Yea that is true, I tried again this morning and I had pretty fun (last night I tried after work so I was pretty tired thats why I gave up so easily)

Once they get higher I might just take turns boosting with my 70 Prot Pally (leaving one out each round)

Till like level 10 i did only quests, and every single drop quest aswell.

Sure its a pain in the ass, but once u get going with it, its not that bad :)

after that i head straight for DM with a 70 mage, and my 4 toons, from there on its like speed train, sitting at 1 day 8h played and lvl37 now (yes i slack alot ;p)

I turn on FFA and use the 'ping" function to switch mains for looting. So i do all the collection on my main, when I get that toons parts I switch to the next guy on my main screen, and at the end I have lots of trash loot to sell! More exp! It's much easier than looting with the smaller windows. When I leveled them from 1-10 I did not ping to switch windows ( did not understand how to use it then ) that was a pain in the ass.

"ping" == PiP ?
