Boosting - Technique and Tips

[mtp1032]

I'm brand new to multiboxing, but I've now got a couple of teams and 3 lvl 70 mages and 3 lvl 70 priests to use for boosting the individual toons. So, this thread is very interesting to me. About the only input I can add is a recommendation to avoid most collection quest except those where the drop rate is virtually 100%. Also, I usually wait until one of my teams has a good bit of rest XP, then I solo the team members through the particular collection quest.

As for instances, I use my 70s to drag each team member individually through the instances -- Mostly because I'm as interested in the drops (esp BOE blues) as I am the XP and the more times through the better chance for a rare piece to drop.

Anyway, nothing new here, just wanted to share some thoughts...

Cheers,

Michael

For higher level boosting with a hunter (also had one as an old main), I use an /assist pet macro. E.g. in BRD, set the pet to agressive, assist the pet with all chars (including the main). And just wander around killing stuff, hunter grabs aggro every now and then, but just FD.

Hunter was perfectly fine for boosting up to SM, but above and beyond I found frost mage or prot pally a lot more efficient (even with much crapper gear).
