Several questions before I leap into dual-boxing feet first
Hello everyone.
I am looking into starting dual-boxing, and after perusing the forums and wiki I still have a few unanswered questions and calls for clarification.
My setup: On my main account, I have a level 80 warlock (and a 66 DK for what it's worth). I have a paladin who I plan to have hit 60 with granted levels. I'm looking to quickly level up at least two (or at most three) other characters.
Conditions: One new character will be a druid for certain. The other class I want to level is undecided, but I'd like it to be something available to the Troll race. Possibly I am considering leveling a third new character as a mage. Due to hardware and monitary limitiations, I will only be considering dual-boxing, not multi-boxing.
1) When I have a level 60 on my secondary (referred) account, that character can grant 29 levels to my main account, correct? So the paladin I want to have the levels granted to should be at level 31 with almost enough XP to hit 32 before I grant that character all of the accumulated bonus levels?
2) If I am leveling two characters from 1-60, would it be faster overall for them to:
-Quest together for the RAF bonus xp?
-Boost each one separatly with the level 80 warlock?
-Some other method?
3) If I am leveling three characters from 1-60, would it be faster overall for them to:
-Quest 2 together and boost the third?
-Boost all 3 separately with the level 80 warlock?
-Some other method?
4) Regarding boosting: If I have a level 80 character and a (for example) level 15 character together in an instance, and the level 80 character is pulling and AoEing everything, does the level 15 character get any decent XP at all? How much XP per instance clear would the level 15 get?
5) I know that rested XP doesn't count if you are getting the RAF XP bonus, but if you have two (or more) characters grouped getting RAF bonus XP, do they get additional XP if each has on the BoA shoulder items?
Thanks for reading and/or answering.

Its something like this I havent gotten that far yet but if you want to take the most from it the char should be 29-31.

I have tried taking a high lvl char and dragging around the low lvl char example lvl 21 pally lvl 1 druid well my pally didnt get the RAF bonus and druid got a low exp bonus like +3(this is lvl 1 but it was bad a lvl 1 duo team RAF is 50+25 RAF exp bonus) I then lvled up druid with a fresh new warrior and it was fast once I hit lvl 10 I took my DK lvl 60 and took druid into an instance well druid got a small RAF bonus but it wasnt much.
I feel the same lvl duo is sooo much faster and you get two new chars out of it. At lvl 40 my quests give me 8-14k exp it goes like this X quest gives 12200 exp RAF bonus +9900 exp. thats like doing a quest out in outlands. but at lvl 40.
4) Regarding boosting: If I have a level 80 character and a (for example) level 15 character together in an instance, and the level 80 character is pulling and AoEing everything, does the level 15 character get any decent XP at all? How much XP per instance clear would the level 15 get?
Dont know exact numbers

Dont know
My very simple humble setup is as follows and it works great playing a Duo team Ret pally/Balance Druid (love this combo)
P4 3.0GHZ HT
2gbram
256mb agp video
hotkeynet( I use this for mouse clicking and its free if you dont need mouseclicking I also like Autohotkey
jamba addon
bartender 4 addon does nicely for customizing bars etc.. but anyone will work
I have 1-+ F1-F12 and Numpad 1-9 The big time sink for me was to set up all the macros and keybindings but really it doesnt take that long.
The only thing I wish that could be automated is looting quest items on the session that is lowered. if you can I havent found a way to do that yet.
I recently learned about PiP and it has a lot of pottential as well. http://www.hotkeynet.com/wow/wow-pip.html
