Hi guys! I stumbled upon the RAF / multiboxing thread in EJ earlier this week so I've been doing some mild research on this whole phenomenon. I plan to take a shot at this in the near future, but I want to make sure I have my information correct; so I'm going to keep poking through guides and walkthroughs here to make sure I've got it right (if they let me play online video at work, I'd have already watched the setup vid).

I really have a question regarding gear, skills and whatnot. What did you guys do for the characters regarding leveling weapon skills, first aid, and any tradeskills/professions? My initial plan is to either boost two linked accounts to 60 or link one to my main account and dualbox to 60. Once there, take a break to skill up and gear up before continuing into Outland (possibly transfer other chars to main account and solo each char through Outland at this point). Is that better than just powering through as much content as possible before RAF dies?

Also, what kind of expenses in-game did you have for your characters? Was it just paying for mounts at 30 and 60; or did you also buy bank slots and some gear?

Is Enchanting the only skill worth leveling as you come up; before 60? Possibly Skinning, too?

I'll keep poking around for answers to my other questions before I ask more because they are likely answered elsewhere. Thanks for all the great info!
