Any tips for Questing?

[Xylumm]

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody had some tips for questing while multiboxing, I just started multiboxing and it's really annoying having to click on each account for the quests.

You need the addon called Jamba and setup your IWT keybind.

Select the quest giver on your leader, press your assist keybind, then your IWT keybind, then jamba does the rest.

The main forum has a stickie with the Jamba addon in it.

Jamba doesn't work with Rift.

Looks like most people just use mouse broadcasting for picking up quests in Rift.

Khatovar is correct, in terms of Rift, all we usually try to do is make sure our UIs are the same positions and just mouse-broadcast the accept and turn in of the quests. There is an Interact macro, that will let all your toons talk to the NPC.

Doh!! I read this from "new posts" link so didn't notice it was in the Rift forum.

Anybody have an example of a interact macro? using "character1" as the character name? would it be:
Assist Character1
Interact @target? or what?

Here's what I do:

1. Move all characters close to the quest-giver. Within the "interaction radius" (where the mouse cursor would turn to gold instead of grey).

2. Right-click quest giver on main character.

3. Press a keyboard button. This makes all other chars /assist and /interact with the same quest giver. This button works exactly the same as casting a regular spell. It uses a "/assist [shift][alt][ctrl] Name" combination macro to assist whoever my main character currently is, then trigger an action on my action bar. The action is a macro that just says "/interact". There's a slight difference from normal spell-casting, in that this keyboard button only executes on my other characters, not the main character.

4. Hold ALT and mouse-click "Accept". This broadcasts a mouse-click on that screen position for all characters. Note that all my characters use the exact same UI layout and screen resolution, so all UI matches up everywhere.
