Am I missing any starter quests because shouldn't I be higher by now?

[Gadzooks]

I have read the wiki, maybe I'm just not understanding it. And I have tried the focus thing once before, but it never did work right for me.

Also, my pally has no skill yet. So I have to press 1 to auto attack, which causes the mage to attack and then stop. When pressed again the pally stops and mages start.

Also, I would have more skills, but I've no NO copper/silver or whatever. I bought the party buff for the pally and then that's all I had enough for. Are you telling me I need to go to each alt and loot or what?

Also for quests, I have the macro to accept/complete quests and all, but is there a way to do it so I don't have to click on each alt to open the quest npc? That gets really annoying after 1-2 quests -_-.

It's understandable that you don't get it all right now - that's what the Wiki and this forum is for. Don't feel bad, we were all there when we began. Be patient, read a lot, and keep trying. There were a few spots early on when I almost gave up, but trust me, once you get rolling, you won't look back!

I take it you don't have any alts to feed your team money? That helps, a lot. I had a 70 rogue with a healthy bank account when I started MBing, and it helped pay for everything while I got started. Now, my team feeds my guild bank. I would urge you to start your own guild, it helps a LOT. If you have no alts, yeah, money is going to be tough for a while, but keep at it, and loot and vendor everything!

As for attacking, autoattack isn't something you need to keybind. You can tag a mob, and your pally will autoattack while you sit there and trim your fingernails, or go take a bio break. tAke it off your bar, and forget about it. Get your talents ASAP. Forget about gear for now, and spend your money on talents.

I don't understand what's going on when you press 1. What should happen is all of your characters will perform whatever attack is in the 1 slot on your bar. If you have attack on 1 on your pally, and fireball on your mages set as 1, you should see your pally swing at the mob, and your mages fire. When you press 1 again, it should repeat. The only thing I can think of is you have a macro interfering with the action, or the key broadcasting software you're using is interfering. What are you using to broadcast keystrokes?

About looting: read what I posted. If you right click on your alt's portrait, you get a list of things, look at Pass On Loot: and set it to "yes" on all of your alts. Set your main as master looter, and he'll loot everything. Not looting the first 10 levels is painful to even think about!

[Keyclone] step-by-step wow macro setup (level 2.0)

if you have the /assist joe and /follow joe style macros, i would consider that level 1.0, the bare basics. level 1.5 makes it a bit more flexible, allowing you to change your lead, in the case where the original has been reduced to a pile of goo.

i would recommend level 2.0, as it removes the need to constantly hit assist after acquiring a new target. you end up making a macro for every targeted spell, which may sound like a lot of work, but you only do it once for every new targeted spell. trust me, it's 100 times better

if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note.

Just an amusing side note to your comments, I was fiddling with macros the other day, and then flew off into Icecrown to quest. I hit my "follow/assist" key...and watched my mage fall down into the depths.

Huh?

Went back to ground, and could not get my mage to follow while mounted.

Turns out, I had reversed my macro, so it was:

/Assist focus
/Follow focus


Important Safety Tip: Assist while mounted means...dismount.


DOH!

I restarted in the human area. Liking it now.

I have the following macros and unbound keys.

Main: Invite Macro
Mage Alts: Accept Macro, Follow Macro, TAB unbound (so they dont target diff. mobs), WASD unbound so they dont move with Main, and /assist /cast [exists,harm] Fireball on one macro
Priest Alt: Accept Macro, TAB unbound, WSAD unbound, and the /assist /cast Smite macro and heal macros

Seems to work ok for right now.

So, I'm trying to fight hogger at level 7 with a pally, 3 mages, and a priest and just got owned. There aren't anymore kill mobs quests are they, is he the only one left in the human starting area?

wowhead is very nice for finding quests in an area:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quests=0.12#0+3+1+2

that should be the quests for Elwynn forest, sorted ascending by level required

don't forget you can hit Dun Morogh for some quests (tram from stormwind to IF):
http://www.wowhead.com/?quests=0.1#0+3+1+2

or find a way to Darkshore:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quests=1.148#0+3+1+2

Darkshore would be my suggestion, as it has quests from 9 on up.

I think for the first 20 levels my mages and priest used the following macro 90% of the time.

/assist playername
/cast shoot

Get a wand. You could prolly beg someone to give them to you for free.

Also with that much firepower behind your paladin at this level. Paladins dont get a good pull spell till 16. You may as well just let them blast everything to smithereens and just heal with the paladin after combat. Also if you have no assets on this server, no gold, no booster, then you will have to pay attention to what skills you buy because if your skipping all the non multi-box friendly quests then your going to be very tight on cash. Pick up some easy tradeskills like skinning and mining and sell all that on the AH. That will help the gold problems.

The first time can hurt, but then it feels good once you get better at it.
