I've read a few help posts and don't understand Jamba

[rodimustso]

I've been trying to find a way to have my slave loot mobs, the stuff I found says make key bindings. Well I tried that and don't seem to understand if with that method im expected to switch windows to use them. Or is there a setting that lets me clone my key presses into the other window? I wanna keep this short so home this makes sense.

Not using jamba myself (anymore) but the way you can loot is through interact with target and click to move. So you need to enable a keybind ingame for interact with target (where you set up all keybinds ingame).

Then the process goes usually:

- target a dead mob with your leader
- slaves assist leader and acquire the leader his target
- hit your interact with target keybind so your slaves run to the dead mob and loot it, you obviously need to have autoloot enabled in your ingame settings

Combinations of these steps work as well of course (one could have a dedicated loot hotkey that combines assist with iwt, etc).

Ok now that Jamba is set up you just need a boxing program such as IsBoxer (or any of the others) so you no longer have to switch windows. That is what sends your keystrokes to every window.

is it me or did you think jamba was all you need to mutibox?

The Jamba sticky, where I'm guessing you read about looting either under Quest > Interaction or the Advanced Loot section, states at the very beginning that you need a separate broadcaster.

What is Jamba?

• Jamba is an addon designed specifically with Multiboxers in mind. It includes many tools that multiboxers will find indispensable when it comes to ease of interaction between your entire team.
• Jamba is not a key broadcaster. While it does communicate between multiple toons, you will still need a broadcasting option.

You will need to start with the Newbie's Guides in order to pick and set up a key broadcaster before moving on to addons. Newbie's Guide 1 - Newbie's Guide 2
