Multibox Daily Quest Guide

[kadaan]

If anyone thinks they need it, I can do a write up on how I beat the Champions quickly. Not that I am a super star or anything special but I helped my step mom (who boxes these dailies too :D) go from winning 1 out of 3 or 4 duels - with an alt DPSing the NPC - to finishing the Valiant version in under 5 minutes for both of her toons with no help, she is even faster now. It took about 5 minutes of in game Demo time and talking over vent.

Strafe circles around the npc while spamming 1 and 2. When it runs away, hit charge and repeat. Refresh shield after each kill so the timer doesn't fall. I do this on all 5 alts to solo-kill champions/valiants and generally kill all 4 champions without heals and ending up at ~75% health. Takes 30-40 seconds to kill each one, as shield generally has 20-something seconds left when it dies.

For the Battle Before the Citadel, I just spam 1-2 and never charge. It kills even the Commanders in a few hits and the charge always causes at least one follower to turn the wrong way and stop following.

Could you not use Bartender as well for this?

I don't really use too many addons. Is Bartender and addon, or is it some native part of WoW. If it's an addon, then it doesn't really matter. I was just demonstrating a nice way to box vehicles, not so much an advertisement for a particular bar addon. In fact, AutoBar requires a fair amount of customization to get working, so if there's an easier way out there, go for it!

I just love the ability to box vehicle quests, so I wanted to share how I did it. The key is mainly just a way to use that macro while in vehicles. However you can accomplish it is fine.

And as for those jousting dailies. I didn't realize non-mounted people could help. I haven't boxed those, since I haven't wanted to have to kill 20 challengers, but if I can do it faster with help from my four followers, that it's definitely worthwihle for the extra money and pet-buying power.

You can use macros with the default UI while mounted. On my main I have been hesitant to go to a new Bar mod because of all the UI changes in recent patches -it has settled enough now to do it I think. So, I create macros and keybind them like normal. I just make sure they are not bound to anything that will show up on a vehicle bar - basicall 1-6 on the main bar. Then, when mounted, just hit the hot key like you would normally and you go to town. You can't see it but it still works. The big one I used, which got me started on this, was my Maly macro on my raiding main, works like a champ, up in the air shooting fireballs and stacking debuffs from the back of a dragon.

If your normal /follow macro is NOT located on your main action bar in spots 1-6 whatever your normal hot key for it is should work while mounted.

ROFL! OK, add Assault By Air (Icecrown) to your list.

1. Get the quest on all your guys.
2. Put your alts on your epic flyers (not sure if it'll work with normal speed ones).
3. Hop in the turret on your main and /follow on your alts.
4. Suppress the turrets and for 3-5 boxers, you'll all complete the quest on the 2nd drop (halfway through the flight).

Just too damn easy not to include.

I had tried this a few times when compiling the guide, and always found follow broke on the phasing as the plane moved through its predefined route. It could be a lag thing, or maybe I need to use the follow pulse in Jamba, but it seemed too dicey at least from here so I left it out.

I'll fiddle with it more and see if I can find a reliable workaround (I hate to include it if it will cause others the same problems). It seems a shame *not* to have it in the rotation as it's only a few minute detour and you're already right on top of the quest giver.

I have the same problem, alt break follow :cursing:

OK, working out how to box vehicles is great and all, but for the icy, blue-girl bear event I just float 4 of my team over the ring while one rides a bear.


As people mentioned, you can run the Champion and Valiant quests simultaneously, and I believe I read that one of the Knights of the Ebon Blade quest's mobs gave credit for them, so you get 3x credit for the killing.

Strange, that. I'm horde, so if you are alliance the flight path might go through the edge of Malykriss and do that to you. If that's the case, sucks to be alliance. :P

I vote we have this guide wiki'd or at least have the thread sticky'd
