Rift Multiboxing Tips

[luxlunae]

A quick way I've found to sync most of the windows on the desktop is to create 2 macros--one on my main:

/exportui c:\uisaved (or any filename--needs to match the one in the second macro below)

And one for all my slaves:

macrowait 5
/importui c:\uisaved

I put them all in the same space on an action bar in a repeater region, and when I want to sync I hit the button on my main, it saves his UI, and 5 seconds later all the slaves import it.

I knew there was a reason I was revisiting this thread!

ALSO... i am at work and cant check the command, but ground-target abilities can be made to target your target in game.. so much win.

It's @gtae, eg:

cast @gtae Burning Ground

note, it casts it at the ground spot where your current target is when you start casting, so a moving target may well be out of the AOE when it actually lands.

I should note this also true for dungeon bosses that cast AE, watch their cast bars and move when they cast not once you see it on the ground.

More tips:

[Pvp] Turn off auto-flagging or else you tapping a pvp mob will kick you out of cross-faction instant adventures, opening you to attack from your recent group mates and causing mass chaos.

[Isboxer] Make a "pass next click" key on your mouse. Unlike wow, there is no jamba to do your heavy lifting with quest and npc texts. This is the most important thing you can do with your extra mouse buttons! Even if you have only three mouse buttons, make your middle click a "pass next click". You will use this key roughly 100 times a level while questing! Once you have it you'll be surprised you ever lived without it.

[Isboxer] Make a key that toggles both the full repeat and the mouse repeat at the same time, then only use this key when you need to turn on full repeat. It is handy to have turned off your combat key maps, for example, when you are typing in macros. I for example use Alt K for keymap toggle and Alt M for full repeater toggle so my g5 key sends downAlt + K + M + upAlt, it is a very smooth way to move between typing modes smoothly.

Macros: Stop trying to copy paste macros between boxes, rift seems to have some really weird rules about what is or is not in the clipboard (probably there is something there? possibly something you clipped today?) and just turn on full repeat and make your macros that way. Don't be a stupid panda and type out all sets of macros five times. Stupid pandas get carpal tunnel and they probably misspell "Fanaticism" on at least one box.

Also I wanted to give a heads up that the teleport out teleport in dungeon feature appears to be broken this week, I teleported out and it just doesn't offer my team any options if I click on the icon to try and teleport back in, very annoying as I had cleared half the instance. Not sure if this was an intentional change (I presume not since it didn't have them leave the group finder group), but if you like me like to pop back and forth sometimes, be warned that that feature might still be broken.
