Revisiting dual boxing

[Gadzooks]

Hi all,

I tried triple boxing 3 mages a while ago using keyclone. I tried questing/grinding....but only got to level 12 before getting bored and giving up. I still occassionaly used keyclone for the odd boost through a dungeon or something, but nothing major.

Last week I rolled a Pally. I quested to level 8 then started using my main - a destro warlock to boost through dungeons. I've done this until he's now lvl 22 and I've also respecced the warlock to demo for greater survivablity when soloing.

I'm now thinking of what my options are from this point on :
- Do I continue to boost this way....and if I do this, what level does it become more efficient to start questing?
- Do I start to quest now? I've picked up a few nice items from instances so that should help a bit.


I was also considering getting an RAF account and levelling another class with the Pally. However if I was doing this, again, as there would only be a max of 3 players, I assume there would be a point where it would be more efficient to switch over to questing. Is there an easier way of being able to loot or use things without having to alt tab? The alt tabbing isn't actually too bad as I have a dual monitor setup that I can run in windowed mode, but it's still a pain...and would probably cause me to get bored in the future and stop it again.

Cheers,

Questing is generally pretty efficient, especially if you use a leveling guide 1-70, unless you have 5 for dungeon runs, or a high level like your lock (especially if you just use your pet, and run ungrouped, so the alt gets all of the exp.)

For looting, what I do on my 3 is set the two alts to pass on loot, and then the lead picks up everything, except the extra cloth in Northrend on the tailoring alt. Note that quest items are *not* passed on, just junk. It's a heck of a lot more efficient that way, and every once in a while you have to turn it off, especially for rep items, like vyrkul bones in Northrend. Just get your main the biggest bags you can, they fill up fast, especially if your main gathers.

Keyclone has a windowed mode thingy (sorry, I'm a Mac user), doesn't it?
