Very new boxer needing some advice :)

[Scott785]

Heya all, ive watched alot of videos over the time ive played WoW about people multiboxing and i never really took an interest to it, but now i wanted to quickly RAF and had no one to RAF with, i bought a copy of the game and created an account etc, but how do i get started, with software etc, ive tried hotkey but i couldnt really get the hang of it, is there any free software out there easy to use for my 2x druid RAFers to quest together?

Thanks alot, Scott.

Free software options... HKN, AutoHotKey, Octopus, Mojo (which is in development, not a finished product).

Keyclone is a solid option, as far as key replication goes, but a little lacking on mouse broadcasting which can be nice at time. This is $20 for a lifetime license.

GameCommanderPro, is a pay option. Not sure if its one-time or a subscription.

IS Boxer, is a subscription option $36/year or $10 per quarter.

They all offer a trial period, so you can decide if the program is for you.
$20 once, or $36/year isn't much... compared to the monthly subscription of the game...
Not knocking the free options, but you also pay for what you get.

I've just come to the end of my RAF time, having db 3 teams to 60.

I use Octopus (free keyclone software) and set it up using the tutorial found on this website. I use an excellent addon called Jamba, which once setup automates things like quest acceptance/handins, taxis etc etc.

I have the following macro bound to my F1 key that I spam pretty much all the time. It makes sure your toon is following you when you are travelling, and focusing on your target when you are attacking.

/clearfocus
/focus (Master toon)
/follow focus
/assist focus
/stopcasting

I'm know there is more info around here and I'm sure a simpler way to do this, but this macro works for me and my playstyle and I hope it works for you too.
