As the forum is set up currently, any guide that refers to only one software program is linked in the sticky and put in the Wiki. Cleaner but extra steps for those search impared

Excellent guide.

As a newb myself at the moment, I'll share some tips that might not be apparent when one first uses ISBoxer.

Most important - Alt-Shift-R - this is the default toggle for Mouse and Keyboard repeating. Learn this. Remember this. This controls the broadcasting of the mouse and all keys that DON'T have a keymap step assigned to them (which is most of them). The default keymap keys are 1 thru = and they will be sent to all the clones whether mouse and keyboard repeating is on or not. You will see text on your main toon's screen telling you the status of this.

Secondly, the "Backspace" key is the default to target / assist off the main toon you are playing. In case you make some type of typo, you'll want to use the "Delete" key and not "Backspace". Took me a while to figure that out.

Third, Using Jamba - Jamba helps in many regards. I found that it worked better if in the beginning of my session I did a "/jamba" command and then selected "Group" "Follow" "Quest", etc. and used the "Push to others" button.

Fourth, Interact with Target - In WoW, I turned on "Click to Move" and "Interact with Target". I then created a WoW keybind of interact with target using the "\" key, above "Enter". I was using "backspace", assist macro and then "\" to get my toons to interact with quest givers, innkeepers, etc. Eventually, I made a keymap directly for the "\" key. I copied the existing keymaps and then changed the setting to "\". This worked well for me.

Yes the ISBoxer wizard can get you playing in minutes, but you need to know the commands, etc. That takes some time. I'd review ISBoxer some before starting the wizard and/or just after starting. I spent around 2 hours getting my level 1's to all go in the right direction, interact with quest givers, etc. And after that I was still learning.

From starting ISBoxer to dinging level 60 with my 5x Shammy's, took 3 days and 5 hours played total. Not bad in my view. 79 hours for 60 levels. I followed Joana and skipped the collection quests. In real time, it was less than 3 weeks.
