Wanting to Dual-Box with RAF...

[ManyLith]

Hello everyone,

I've been interested in Dual-Boxing for quite some time now and figured with MoP coming soon and my recent realm transfer now is the best time for me to try and get a few more toons quickly. Basically my main server is dieing very very quickly. So I decided to transfer a toon to a higher population realm and now im wanting my other characters there also (6 more 85s) but its going to cost me hundreds of dollars to transfer and faction change them all. Then i thought about purchasing the battle chest + wotlk + cata and RAF leveling a few toons to 80 as quickly as i can. But i have a few questions im not sure on.

Also i will be using Keyclone since i purchased it awhile back when i first wanted to start dual boxing.
My setup is 1 computer (powerful enough to easily run 5+ wows at the same time.) dual 22" monitors.
My main accounts characters will be using heirlooms.

QUESTIONS:
How do i need to setup the second account in case i want to transfer characters from the slave account over to my main account?


Whats the best and most beneficial way to set up the accounts together? ( Most granted levels and quickest leveling time )


Can I play 2 accounts at the same time if the are both on the same battle.net account? ( Same email for both )


When running only 2 characters, which is the fastest leveling, Questing or Dungeon Grinding?


I believe those are the most important questions i have atm.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Both / all accounts must be owned by you. Transfer is the same cost as always.

Whats the best and most beneficial way to set up the accounts together? ( Most granted levels and quickest leveling time )

Two is easy, five is harder, see here:

Yes (8 account limit on a battle.net account).

When running only 2 characters, which is the fastest leveling, Questing or Dungeon Grinding?

It depends, with RAF, I would probably quest.

I believe those are the most important questions i have atm.

For crying out loud vBulletin, I have replied, it's inline in the quote, message to short, bah!

Awesome, thanks a ton Jafula for the quick information.

If you're doing RAF, quest with your team until level 15. Then just queue random dungeons. You'll get 2 - 3 levels for each dungeon...sometimes as many as 4 or 5 with all the dungeon quests. It's pretty insane. I got a 2-box of mages to level 60 in under 6 hours /played doing that (I'm leveling a few sets so I can power my Monk to level 80 on release day).

Well as of right now my first ever team of 2 shamans are lvl 77 and im at 20 hours play time. I feel like a few levels after 70 were a bit slow, due to Jamba not working for the new patch and me having to do looting and quest turn ins on both manually.

Nice, that's a good effort. 85 is not far away. (Hopefully Jamba will be fully sorted soon!)
