First and foremost, welcome to dual-boxing + 101, I’m Ellay and I’ll be your guide!

Overview:

• What are you looking for?
  How do you plan to accomplish?
  Simple Steps, don’t feel overwhelmed.

The rule of thumb about dual-boxing or even multi-boxing comes down to micro management. Laying out the floor plans of what you want to do is the key to success.

Step 1 Let's get an idea what you're looking for:

• How many characters do you plan on using?
  How many computers are you looking to use to accomplish this?
  What’s your budget like?
  Do you plan to utilize software or hardware to make this happen?

Step 2 How to get there:

Make sure to always keep your budget in mind. Place a roadmap for setting up the pieces. Optimize the resources at your disposal here, even if you only add an extra client to the same PC, simple tools can make it go from night and day.

Step 3 How to make it a reality

Simple steps, take it easy and don’t feel overwhelmed. Part of doing more than 1 task at the same time is becoming efficient and multi-tasking – this is the core element of micro management.

• Find ways to minimize the attention needed on each client.
  Practice Practice Practice! Can’t stress it enough! Give it time, it’s just like riding a bike.

Now go out there and enjoy a completely new world, with this kind of untapped power anything is possible.

Laying out the floor plans of what you want to do is the key to success.

I am a little biased but -

This really is key. If you are serious about multi boxing - try not to add characters or computers as you go - unless you want to PvE or just do it for fun here and there. The best results are obtained by taking your specific goal of what you want to achieve in advance and then tweak along the way. Plan (in depth) first and then execute your plan. Constantly relearning or resetting up new ways of playing will be hard to adjust to and will ensure sub optimal playing or endless frustrations later.

Plus, things can get really expensive and complicated to redesign later.
