Which software solution is right for my goal (listed with specifics)

[mathrod]

My goal, and what I want is :

"My goal is to level by questing, having 1 toon following a leader. The leader will do 99% of the work. All I want for now, is the follower to : 1. Follow, 2. loot as directed, 3. interact with quest giver as directed.
(once I am comfortable with how this works, I may practice being more active with a follower)" <<--software solution for this would make me happy and do what I want

I am aware of RAF restrictions and usage policies.
I do not want 3 accounts.
I am not interested in boosting.

I am also aware I can manually switch back and forth between windows, running two monitors, or one.

I have the maximum number of characters on one account. 6 of them are 85. I am asking to find out how I might use a software solution to speed/assist/make simpler, RAF quest leveling 2 toons together.
The toons not 85 are lock, paladin, shaman, druid. I can solo level every one of them, questing, killing every thing that needs killing and not run out of health/mana, ever.
I see your logic that having both perform combat functions would speed things up. Thats a bit more than I am looking for at this point, I may be getting into the area where I realize this hobby is not for me ? (I saw that in the FAQ's/nub guides you folks have)

I have been doing reading and searching all day, and have gotten zero leveling done

Let me try and sum it up again.

The "least" I ever want to do is what I requoted above. Getting both toons to kill, is not a need right now.
The "most" would be eventually being able to run a 2 toon group for fun, dailies, something of that sort. and that would be MUCH later. I play on a populated server, have toons in 2 guilds... finding someone to do something with is not a problem.
This is a desire to level 2 toons, by themselves, questing, RAF, and BoA, as quick as I can. Then I would do the other 2. That is all. I do not want them boosted by a 3rd. I do not want to dungeon with them. I do not want to PvP with them.

Nearly all, if not all, programs mentioned here read as capable of helping me do that. The "best" for me would be the easiest, and quickest, to get setup and do the 2 person questing with. Pretty certain I do not need Jamba for my simple desires. Window switching to accept quests is fine with me.

Ok, lemme see if I can sum this all up for you.

First, and I believe we accidentally skipped over this. Welcome to the forums!

Now, I'll pull a few quotes to help nail down my comment below.

Having been in a similar situation (I knew nothing about multiboxing before I found this website), I can't say enough great things about ISboxer. (Personal Bias!) :SNIP:

If you can't get all that you want done (your list) by the end of the free trial, then boxing might not be for you since ISBoxer is that easy to set up and work with. The Wizard alone saves so much time. You literally should be able to get 90% of what you want done in 20 minutes assuming you have your accounts set-up and characters created.

Innerspace/ isboxer: rolls royce and online support. Wizard included for quick set up. Dont underestimate how long that could take with other software.

So it looks like ISBoxer (+ Jamba) would be the way to go. It also seems like for "stage 1" I could just take toons out together and change who is following who.

Im also 30+ in my years. Married, strong career, many kids. My time is very valuable. I started boxing quite a while ago, but no where near as long as the majority of the brain trust in this community. I also tried a couple different softwares until I settled on ISBoxer.


tl:dr - Get in the free trial of ISBoxer plus Jamba. You can accomplish nearly if not all of your leveling before the trial. The software will be the easiest and quickest to get set up, and get you going. If after the free trail you decide you dont need or arent interested in all it offers, no problem, you can ditch it completely, and pick up one of the free ones that are less sophisticated with a harder set up. If however you decide you want to just stick with it. As you mentioned, paying for it really isnt an issue... its $10.00 for 90 days. ... Ive wasted more than $10.00 just writing this post for you.

With 2 monitors, I would not have to window switch, but I am considering alt tabbing and not using a 2nd monitor at all. I don't specifically want to multibox, I want to level two toons at the same time, following the same quest line. Much later on, I may want to do a "...hey I think I could use this software to heal my tank while I....." etc etc.

...oh and its worth mentioning, ISBoxer also has a window wizard too. You can use 1, or 2, or ~+ monitors. 1, or 2, or 99+ client windows within those monitors or monitor. (all be it 99 on one monitor may be a bit hard to see..lol) Anyway, you 100% definitely wont need to ALT+TAB for anything, with ISBoxer and Jamba.
