10 Boxing Operational - Mostly!

[Xzin]

10 Boxing up and running - still need to setup maceos and tweak my UI (I need more than 120 buttons!).

This should be pretty fun

[thrillhaus]

Haha, Grats. Can't wait to see some progress from you with that

That looks really and totally bizar. Hope this one gets a sticky and lots of updates with screenies :P

Holy..

So what class-combo will you use to lvl up, and how much did that cost you?

[Xzin]

4 Mages, 2 Priests, 4 Warlocks. The mages / 1 priest (the Zins) are 60 already and the locks and other priest are 21. I will take the locks to 60 then level them all from 60 - 70 - questing and grinding instances mostly.

The total cost was in the five figure range but I could have done it for significantly less. I would imagine the minimal cost outlay would be $10k USD, assuming minimal hardware outlays ($500 per machine) and assuming your time was free and not factoring in monthly fees (around $150/month). Doing it for much less would mean you would start to cut too many corners (in my opinion).

A bit of a tangent, would be interesting to see just how cheaply you could do this. Surplus 15/17" CRT monitors, DIY mounts, $300 computers... I would still imagine you would need $5k at bare minimum. Even then...

If something is worth doing then to me it is worth doing right. Since this is a hobby that I clearly enjoy a great deal, it behooves me to do it right

That's a pretty scary train man

The madness continues!

Last step: build desk.... then finally play!

Literally almost 5 months of solid work to get this whole 10 box operational..... but damn if it is not going to be worth it

So are you going to 10box the bc instances or are you going to play two 5 box teams and join them just for pvp and kara?

I plan on 10 Boxing AV, World PvP, EoTS (?), and run 2 arena teams. I should be able to oneshot kill anybody on a flying mount and safe fall down.

There will be more 10 man instances by the time I get them to 70, so kara and those... I should be able to get from 60 - 62ish in UBRS Considering I could do half of it solo with the Zins.... throw in 4 VW tanks and it will be cake with 10.

Still, even if you have the enormouse firepower you have using those classes, i think you will be in a load of trouble in karazhan with no tank and a more difficult manouver space. But as seen in the past, most multiboxers do a great job, so it would be very interesting to see what will happen.
