need help triple boxing WoW

[ashslayer]

I am going to level 3 characters at the same time via triple boxing, on the same computer and I'm wonder what the best tools would be for the job.

I'm gonna use RAF like so A-> B+C. Main account recruits the 2 new accounts. That way I have 2 months to level as many characters as I need on my main account. I will not use account B and C permanently and that's why I'm not leveling different classes my first 2 tries.

I was wondering is Isboxing still good? Is there a different alternative for triple boxing?

Are there any essential addons that I must have?


Other posts that I read seem to have addons that they like and not really the bare essentials. Of course what anyone deems essential is up to them.

In advance I would like to say thank you for your input

I just tried to setup Hotkeynet and I'm really confused. It seems every single setup guide for this requires me to understand code, which I don't. It really seems like I have to use Isboxer at this point.

ISBoxer is easily the most widely used multiboxing program.

There's very little in the way of "must have" addons. It's personal preference for the most part. The only thing that is really highly recommended for everyone is probably Jamba, and there's still a few people who wouldn't call it a must have, but it is an addon written by a multiboxer specifically to deal with multiboxer's needs.

Beyond that, you might want a macro extender like Bindpad, but it's not required since you can do your macros in ISBoxer if you use that. Things that allow you to change the interface around are generally good - unit frames so you can more easily see/order your slaves to track health, power, debuffs, etc.; bar mods so you can resize, move and more easily edit keybinds. An Auction House mod is usually helpful since we end up with a lot of stuff to sell. If it really came down to it, though, you could probably do ok with the standard interface if you really wanted to. I couldn't recommend it, but it can be done.

I'm brand new to multi-boxing myself and I went with ISBoxer. You can get a 7 day trial to give it a shot. If you're giving ISBoxer a shot I would recommend the following; download ISBoxer and apply for the trial. You have to wait a little to get it approved. While you wait watch the next steps in order:

1. Watch MiRai's introduction to the ISBoxer User-Interface.
2. MiRai's ISBoxer -- Quick Setup Wizard -- MMO-Standard
   This one may be better "ISBoxer -- Quick Setup Wizard (WoW)" since it's WoW specific, but I would watch both!
3. MiRai's MMO Multiboxing Gameplay Basics Video Series:

And ask questions!

EDIT: MiRai has a shitload of links in his YouTube comments for the basic game-play video series. I'm still trying to tinker with Video FX... just started.

Oh forgot to say! Technically if your main account is "World of Warcraft" edition without expansion and it's newer than 30 days you could invite your A account by sending an invitation to yourself from B or C. This way if you buy an extra month on your A account you will get a free month on your B or C account depending whom invites!

yeah account A is already an old account from 2008. I'm just gonna use RAF and dual boxing to boost up 2-3 classes within 2 months on a new realm and then use the rest of the 2 months to gold farm and send it all to account A. I might keep on dual boxing if it's fun, but if not, then I'll stop after my 2 months.

Same here, will quit if it's not fun and just do one account. I'm currently 5 boxing a cliche of 1 Tauren Protection Paladin 3 Orc Elemental Shamans and 1 Restoration Shaman.
