Starting help for new boxers

I posted this a while ago on our own forum, but think it couldn't hurt to share the info here ^^



Well i have been fudging around with a few dual toons and found the following things usefull ( after screeming my head of and fiddeling with macro's )

Essential: Clonekey (mac ) or keyclone ( win )
Just start the cloner and click the 2 wow frames, this wil 'broadcast' the keystrokes. hence the whispers are in twofold ^^

**Dual/Multi-Boxing is not illegal ^^**

First of, there is a handy addon, wich helps, but fudges alot, but get it.
- Jamba ( /Jamba for ingame options )

it lets you auto accept quests, auto repair / sell, autorezz , invite etc.

But as it still is warcraft it won't work as intended of a full 100%....

That said lets go to the actual usefull stuff.
************************************************** ********

First off, on your 'slave' you need to make a few macro's

Focus macro:
/focus target

Its unbound, ill just click the leader and hit the button ( once per session )

Now to let the slave to follow you around the world of warcraft /train

Follow macro:
/follow focus
/target focustarget

Bound to my 'f' button, the 2nd part is essential, but ill explain later.

Next a part that was hard to get working /cry even found a guild later that also did a similar thing, but did most of this myself ><

**Interaction**
Bind the action "Interact with target" to a button , in my case thats "g"
in the Keybindings menu.
At mouse settings, put the "click to move" option on for all the slaves.

What is does: It "interacts with appointed target. So at an NPC it wil 'rightclick" them ( sell to a vendor, open quest, attack a mob with melee ) the funny part is, if you assign it to a target that beyond standing reach... it wil go to location becouse of mouseclick !!! so it's a nice pet ^^ it can fetch, skin, sell, wash and get the paper!!

You killed a mob with "quest items" loot it, and in my case click the target and press "f then g" TaDa !!! makes life easy.

*** Quests and trade scripts. ***

/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script RetrieveCorpse();

Bound to my '~' button for the spamming that is needed...

/invite slave works fine, just hit the ~ and you are a group. Jamba also has some of the features, but if it fudges its nice to have a button for it.

/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1)
/script SelectGossipActiveQuest(1)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward(1)
/script SelectGossipOption(1)
/script AcceptQuest()

Bound to "Shift + ~" combine with NPC then "f , g" it wil accept the first quest orhand it in and take followup. Often fudes so just share the Q and press ~ in most cases.
WARNING: This script accepts the "1st" quest reward !!!

These script are all available on the wow-europe site and implemented by blizzard.

now the less funny part of multiboxing ><
ALL you offensive spells need to have these lines included, or they wil not attack

/assist focus
/cast Spell Name

Fun with that one ...

Thats it for now, make use of it, and have fun.
Ill be seeing you all with dual Shamans / Lock's or perhaps even some balace druids soon !!
