Not using anything. Should I get the multibox version of tourguide or will it not cover the area I'm in.

Also, is my RAF working right? It doesn't seem like it is. 100-1000 quest xp for the quests. I've only done like 5 of the killing ones (all i could find) and I'm only level 8.

Another also, are my macros set up right?

/assist Acrown
/cast Fireball

Those are on my mages (x3)

/assist Acrown
/cast Smite

That is on my priest

And it's really hard to get my paladin up front and tanking. I unfollow, move pally up and press 1 for auto attack, then my mages and priest start casting and stop after 1 cast. Hit 1 again and the alts cast again but my pally stops attacking. Anyone know how to solve this?

I hope I can get some help with all this as I want to try and get another team to 60 while my RAF is still going.
Bryce, take a day or two and read more in the Wiki and the forums here. You're talking about basic techniques, all of which is covered in-depth elsewhere.

I would urge you to learn what focus is, and how to use it. Some here are advocating focusless grouping, but it's an advanced technique.

Second, autoattack? You don't need to press a key for that, it happens all on it's own once you tag a mob and go into combat. That's when you need to start using your attacks, seals, and judgements. Look up and study rotations, and start figuring out macros for your guys - I'm very weak on pallies, but I know mages do a lot better using spell rotations. I have a fire mage at 80 who's doing 1400 DPS right now, with a very simple rotation that's bound to key 1.

Here's a possible tip for you: keep the "strafe" keys set on your mages (Q + E). When you run up to the mob on the pallie, hit a strafe key, and all of your mages will take a step right or left, and will auto-unfollow. It makes it a lot easier to drop them off on the way to a fight. With Mages, you'll find as you level they are sneaky little aggro magnets, and you'll find yourself following the mob as it turns around and starts going after your mages. They're squishy, so they don't last long - mages are like hunters - they like to be far away from the fight.
