Multibox Daily Quest Guide

[gitcho]

First let me say that this is an awesome guide - thanks Chilkoot and all the contributors !

I gave up and no longer do That's Abominable It bugs out and I don't get credit for mobs I blow up. What are you guys doing that makes this work (getting credit for the kills) and is fast? The comments on wowhead.com are helpful but I can't get this down to be reliable and fast.

I get this quest done in 1 or 2 explodes. I loot the chilled abomination guts, and mount up all my toons. I run straight into the camp (toons on follow) and round up as many as I can while running in circles (they are tethered) ... when it looks like I've got enough, I dismount and immediately summon and explode the abomination. If I don't get them all the first time, I'm only missing 2-3 and a second pull will easily finish it. I've rounded up so many mobs that when I exploded the abomination i've actually had all 5 toons disconnected from the server ... My pally takes barely any damage while rounding them up, and even a squishy should be able to round up the required amount of mobs to dismount+summon+explode.

*EDIT* this (or a compiled ver of this) should be a sticky!

Im going to try that tonight after work.

My set of dailies looks a bit different, but after i did them today I took a ss of how long it took, and how much gold i made, now remember that this is gold made just on that toon, so its x5 :P
I also took a 10 min afk, and forgot to stop the timer.




ps. I'm using model change, so all my draenei look like BEs.

[quote='Starbuck_Jones',index.php?page=Thread&postI D=208532#post208532]I do the bomber quests too. When I get in the plane I put all 4 slaves on bommer mode and have each one look in a diff direction. Forward, left, right and back. on my main, I man the flak gunn and just spam away. The slaves will bomb in a wide pattern like that and easily get all your ground objectives as my main keeps everyone alive from the gargoyals and undead drakes. 13g and 16g x5 are the rewards if i recall correctly.[/quote]Tried it for the first time tonight, and was able to complete the lead up quest, [url='http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13380']Leading the Charge[/url] , but could not get all my toons to get on the plane at the same time for Putting the Hertz: The Valley of Lost Hope . When I accepted all (at the exact same time), my main took off, and the rest got a console message: "Please wait for your flight window". The toons were auto mounted in the plane about 10 seconds apart from each other.

*EDIT* looks like i'm getting a "Flight Orders " debuff that may have something to do with it

TIP: In No Rest for the Wicked, pick up Alumenth's artifacts from the chests on all 5 characters to create Alumenth's Remains. This will allow you to bypass the room trash on your next 4 visits. (ty Heffner!)

For this quest (No Rest for the Wicked), i have both looted all the artifacts on the toons and combined the books (only using 1 to summon) and looted all artifacs and NOT combined the books (except on my main). It seems the artifacts are lost at logout and I have to gather new ones each day.

Overall though, this is a great guide. I'm still on the free 60% flyers from Honest Max and this circuit takes me about 2hrs to do, with 3/4 of the other quests thrown in, and i'm close to 300g on each.

That's Abominable!

Worst... Quest... Ever.

It takes typically 3 explosions for me to get all the credit I need... when I actually get credit.

No matter what I try, at least half the time I won't get credit for any of the kills. I could be standing right on top of my Abom when it blows up and still not get credit. I could pull ONE mob and blow it up and still not get credit. It's still in my daily grind but it gets skipped if I spend more than a few minutes on it. It amazes me when people say they don't have any problems with this quest, especially since I ran into the same problem in Zul'Drak doing the explosion quest there.

One trick to rounding the mobs up easily is to summon your abomination, then mount up. Fly around over the area and your abomination will follow you on the ground, aggro'ing everything along the way. If you are on an epic flyer, your abomination won't get hit the whole time. Once you have a bunch, drop down to the ground, dismount and explode.

On "That's Abominable," I gather them with the pally by going in circles til it looks like I have enough, dismount, consecrate, shield up and move towards the shammies, summon the abom and fart once or twice, then wait for the mobs to get up and start hitting me (or the abom) again before I asplode mr blob. i do the gathering technique above because some mobs leash (?). in any case, its a fun quest that i like doing on my daily roundup!

That's Abominable!

Worst... Quest... Ever. <snip>

This quest and the ZD one were horrendously frustrating, and I nearly gave up on them when I did it on my main way back when.

I finally realized that you can't won't get credit for blowing them up while they are stunned on the ground, you have to wait until they are fully standing to get credit. You also need to be fairly close (within 10 yds or so). It changes from an exercise in frustration to actually being pretty easy when done this way, though it's still pretty annoying and I can't imagine this is what was intended.

I do almost everything in Icecrown, except the PvP quest from Orgrim's Hammer and the two or three air attack ones (infragreen, and Ymirheim). There are some nice suggestions in this thread for doing the air attacks though; gonna hafta try that.

King of the Mountain is a pleasant-enough quest when nobody else is around. This one's hard on multiboxers. I'm in the habit of rocketing flagged players as soon as I see them but, to date, I never get the drop on anyone before three or four of my toons have been knocked down the mountain. I'll probably keep doing it out of OCD but it's really hit or miss.

That's Abominable! doesn't seem to have any consistent workarounds to me. I've tried making sure the abom is in range when it explodes, and I've tried making sure it doesn't round up any mobs that aren't in range, but it just doesn't matter. I've blown the abom up while close enough to do the knockback on my party and still nobody got credit. It's like Slaves to Saronite, except it's downright buggy, not random by design. I try to load my party up on guts while I'm still running around detonating frost wyrms to alleviate the frustration if two or three don't get Abominable credit.

I'm doing the Argent Tournament dailies now, at last. I wish I'd realized sooner that you can burn through the duels simply by not choosing to solo them. I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but I basically mount up the pally, stack three levels of defense, challenge Good Sir Knight to honorable combat, and grin while my warlocks beat the living crap out of him. I wouldn't be surprised if this is changed sometime in the future, but in the meantime, dishonorable combat is the way to go!

[Iceorbz]

so i have not done any of the AT dailys are they worth it, what do I really get out of it? Ive been doing the icecrown quests and stormpeak hodir dailies and that takes up almost all 25 of them.

Hey guys - been out of WoW for a few months and didn't notice the formatting change in the OP. I'm firing up the 5-box again, and will update the guide and fix the formatting at the same time.
