How do you quest?

[Wushudragon]

How do you quest while dual boxing? I find it hard to alternate back and forth in order to get everyone their quest accepted and turned in. Any suggests (like macros or something) that might help me with my questing?

If you're using Keyclone, you don't need ISBoxer.

How I quest?

With my leader/main I target the NPC and interact with it, like you would normally. Then I have the slaves IWT it.

This then has all the windows looking the same, so if its a vendor and you are setup to autosell grays / repair, etc all that occurs. but the NPC for quest would now be at the [Accept] stage of things, if I accept it on one character they all will do it. This is jamba doing that, isboxer has some click broadcasting stuff as well. Not sure were that improves things. But they videos like it.

On a quest where all your guys need to 'listen to bobs tale of how a paladin stole his bike' you just need to IWT with bob, and then have any of your characters click through the prompts in his story and they all will do it. Similarly to the jamba-taxi, to make your whole team take the taxi (sort of flakes out if your slave doesnt have the flight path at times).

When you have jamba-quest tuned up, getting and handing in quests is pretty simple. The reward selection and the auto-sharing is something you need to tune to your liking. Some quests don't like everyone trying to accept it at the same time, some escort quests, those little arena/trial quests, etc. I typically takes quests even if I know I am not going to do them and drop them when I am done questing and leave the zone.

I use Carbonite to do the party quests, its mapping is superior imho to the alternatives on where the other party members drops are, where we are all at as a group on a quest chain, etc etc. It also handles the quests that chain upon completion, quest givers, item use, etc, etc. Bloated sure ... you want to turn off whatever you can. I also have the map drop loot shown and a long route trail for grinding areas for mats or just quests. Once you see that your respawn time and the route is in sync this really helps.

When its a loot quest, i have the slaves IWT to loot, and eventually they all get their crap and then I have the leader loot, otherwise the leader couldn't see the sparkles.

On 'use' areas, i have a few boxes from kgpanels on the main I can click, those boxes tell the slaves to click a box. So if the slaves need to take a portal, click a stone, etc. each slave has to be a certain position for this to occur a kgpanel is on each slave to mark where they will be clicking), but you get used to it and eventually its just muscle memory easy. Unless the item is on the wrong side of the slaves and a wall exists, but its still faster to line them all up right and use the box than it is to click manually for each of them.

I have a small hack of fubar-farmer that tells me how long I have been grinding quest items and when i will be complete time wise. I populate out of carbonite party quest objectives. At some point you just wonder, wtf is the drop rate for this crap and when will I be done gathering with 10 thingies x 5.

I might have levled some toons previously, or a lot of toons, I use a tourguide I keep tuning to tell me what I want to do. I pretty much do a critical path through zones and a few fluffy quests. This is very helpful, some people have done a lot of great work with tourguides. The simple 'dailies' jsut doesn't do it justice. Tourguide is only needed on the main account. Carbonite and tourguide overlap to a degree, tuning tourguide and disabling it when not needed should be done.
