This is a work in progress. Making revisions as I go.
Goal: Highest gold per minute ratio possible for a nightly daily session with 5 mixed classes that cannot exceed 2 hours.
Ideal: Do 25 dailies in 2 hours.
Reality: Do 12 dailies in 1.5 hours.
Like most of WoW, I start my day in Shattrath, usually at the battlemasters, which is convenient since both Harbringer Haronem (Multiphase Survey ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11880')) and Lord Torvos (Sunfury Attack Plans ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11877')) stand right above the Alliance and Horde battlemasters respectively. You can do the Multiphase Survey in any order since Oshu'gun is so close to Shattrath I just fly to and from.
Let me hit the vendor. Once I repair, I'll be good to go ('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfwUqBxL1Ls').
Lets hop on some non-epic flying mounts and apply crusader aura. As we fly to skettis, let me tell you that the dailies described in this post earned me two epic mounts last month. I'm not just the author, I'm a client too! 7.7k until I can edit out the 'non-' part of the first line of this paragraph and buy epic mounts number 4 and 5.
Once you arrive at Skettis, give Sgt. Doren a crisp salute (Fires over Skettis ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11008')) and start looking for the worst scout in the history of Draenor (Escape from Skettis ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11085') ). How you look for him will depend on your realm's ruleset, population, and the time of day. In my case, I'm a high pop balanced PvP server and I play during prime time. Therefore, the prisoner is always in motion; all 3 spawns are camped constantly and groups are organized in /1 to keep track of the faction camping each of the spawns. I pick a spawn point I can claim through force or diplomacy and camp it until he pops. Your Mileage May Vary.
Once you've handed in the two Skettis quests (R.I.P. UMP ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28101')), hop on the free nether ray to Ogri'la (Required Honored with Sha'tari Skyguard ('http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1031') and to do quests in Ogri'la ('http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1038') requires a long quest line from Mog'dorg the Wizened ('http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22941')).
Accept Wrangle ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11066'), Bomb ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11023'), Banish ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11051'), and Simon ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11080'). If you see any rays on the way to an Apexis Relic, go ahead and wrangle it. Once you arrive at the relic, toss in 35 Apexis shards to play mega-simon.
If you complete through six colors, you'll summon the Apexis Guardian ('http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22275') for the non-daily Guardian of the Monument ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11059'). He'll also summon if you fail I've found, but the point is to complete the Emanations quest. You don't have to kill him for quest credit after the first time (since the previously linked quest is not repeatable) however, I STRONGLY urge you to do so because he drops both an Apexis Crystal ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32572') and a level 70 green guaranteed. The crystal and 50 shards can be turned directly into a Large Prismatic Shard ('http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=28022'):!: once you hit Ogri'la ('http://www.wowhead.com/?faction=1038') Revered by sharding an Apexis Cloak ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32653').
On your way to your Forge Camp of preference (Wrath :thumbup: , Terror :thumbdown:, make sure you wrangle any rays on the way. You can bomb and banish however works for you and all toons in range will get credit. Check the spoiler for my method.
I put my slave accounts on their epic land mounts and my master account on an epic flying mount. I then fly into a camp making sure I turn and stop enough so the slaves can keep up. I use a lot of vertical axis in my route because follow doesn't check the z-axis so it's easy to dodge bombs up and down without losing the alt-trailer. I do one quick lap around a camp throwing bombs my main as the trailer aggros all the mobs in the camp. I try to grab a hound or two who's patrolling nearby to make it a 5-pull or better. Once I have them rounded up, I turn off follow then drop a portal with one of the slaves and spam my AoE button. When the pull is all banished, the slaves all sit down for a nice spot of tea and manna biscuits courtesy of the mage while the main continues to spit words to your moms cuz he came to drop bombs. Depending on how crowded it is and how on point my game is, I can do the entire banish quest with the four characters on the ground and the entire bomb quest with the main account flying above bombing while they kill and never have to land the main until they're both done. I usually get knocked off my mount or finish one or the other first though.
If you haven't gotten five rays by now, fly around and finish that quest on your way back to Ogri'la to hand in all four quests. Take this opportunity to repair and vendor. If you've got the rep, you can buy an item for an Apexis Crystal and 50 shards to disenchant as well. I believe the 4-crystal&100-shard epics are shardable as well, but I don't have the rep yet to find out.
(This is where I would do the IQD part 2 portal opening quest where you steal 10 crates, but with 5 chars, that's 50 crates to steal and that's too much work for me so I skip it. If you haven't done it ever, do it at least once just to experience the phase device.)
Mount up, apply crusader aura, and fly to Netherstorm's Manaforge B'naar ('http://www.wowhead.com/?object=183770'). Kill one blood elf outside (or more if you're unlucky) and loot the Sunfury Attack Plans for Lord Torvos.
Mount up again and fly across the Twisting Nether (don't look down! :S ) to the Throne of Kil'jaedan. Talk to Magistrix Seyla and pick up Blood for Blood ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11515') and Blast the Gateway ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11516'). Here's a handy tip for Blast the Gateway:
Want to yell HADOUKEN when you start this quest? Then bind a key to summon FIVE FIREBALLS AT ONCE!!!
ok, it's not as cool as it sounds, and is actually a pain to set up but is worth it in the long run.
Create a macro that reads:
/use Sizzling Embers
and name it something short and easy, like 'se'.
Then create a keybinding for this macro (protip: native keybindings do not require action bars, very useful for people who play their accounts individually and like to use the action bars for normal single player abilities like me) one of two ways:
Method 1: Using /script commands in game (easy to use if your keyclone setup passes parens and capitals (which mine doesn't)):
/script SetBindingMacro("Binding","Macro")
Example:
/script SetBindingMacro("ALT-/","se")
To save this binding to your bindings-cache.wtf file on logout, run:
/script SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())
Method 2: If you're not down with scripting, add this to the end of each \World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YourAccountName\bindings-cache.wtf file for every account you need it on:
bind ALT-/ MACRO se
:!: Make sure you only edit that bindings-cache.wtf file when you're not logged in, as logging out overwrites any changes you make.
Note: In the macro named 'se', "/y Hadouken!" is optional.
Bid farewell to that hottie Seyla (she could ride my dragonhawk anytime!) and make your way towards the Isle of Quel'Danas through whatever means is fastest for you. I mage port to Shattrath, portal to Silvermoon, then fly. Soon there will be a portal right to IQD from Shat. If you find a better route, let me know. Route management is the best way to save time.
You can do the Multiphase Survey in Nagrand on the way through Shattrath if you haven't yet, or after the IQD dailies when you're done.
The IQD daily routine will be changing as the different phases go by, but at the time of this posting (April 2008 ), my realm has just started phase 2 of the Reclaiming missions, so I do the convert the sentries ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11525') quest which is always available in some ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11524%20') form, and then I kill some demons ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11538'). I was doing the Dead Scar bombing ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11532%20') by mass clicking the alts all at once, then taking 3 flights to complete it on my main, but here's a great link to a post by Nepida, Distraction At the Dead Scar bombing macros ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=5545'). I haven't tried them yet but they look promising. Once again, I skip gathering the mana residue ('http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11523') because it involves farming drops five times. While 20 remnants isn't that many, it's keeping track of them that's not worth it.
Hand those three quests in, then take the time to open all the SSS sacks ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=35232') and reap the pile of garbage green rewards to dust.
Net time: 90 minutes
Net quests: 12 per character.
Net gold: 600g, plus shards and dust (1 prismatic and 15 greens guaranteed).
I'm about 7500g from my 4th and 5th epic mounts. When I get that next week, I'll be able to cut the travel time way, way down so I can start working the Netherwing dailies in. I just wanted to start collecting other people's experiences doing dailies.
How do YOU make the most out of dailies with multiple accounts?
