[WoW] Dual-Boxing Powerleveling Class Guide

[Sanctume]

I've tried the 2 lowbie partied and 1 high level trick and can say it's jaw droppingly good. I have a 70 NE hunter and just started to box 3 undead mages recently so I thought I'd give it a go.

I created 2 new NE hunters and partied up. Worked like a charm. The humanoid camps (Furries + Gelkis) respawn so fast that you basically stand in one spot with your lowbie and tag + send high level pet. After killing gelkis to about lvl 5 I went off to Starbreeze village and killed all there but the respawn wasn't fast enough. Thankfully I lucked upon the furlbog camp at around 68,53. Somehow one of my hunters went off follow and dropped behind and then I noticed my other lowbie was getting full xp for all the pet kills.

The respawn rate was unreal. You are literally hitting send pet, shoot, send pet shoot non-stop or vice-versa depending on how near the mob is. I checked my xp per hour and I was getting between 30k and 40k per hour (50 to 60 xp every 6 seconds is about right)!! I recall getting about 25k (50k with rested) per hour as a mid level 50 solo grinding rep in Felwood. I should also mention that my other lowbie had since died and I rezzed her about 1/4 to 1/3 of the map away and my 'main' lowbie was still getting full xp.

Incidentally my experience with the mages is pretty mixed. PVE is great but it's quite difficult to avoid doing the collection quests without substituting pure grinding to make up the loss in xp. PVP is not so great but I'm putting it down to lack of experience playing a mage/playing mages/boxing and also they aren't twinked at all because I intend going to 70/80 with them.

Edit: 7hours 30 mins to lvl 20 with this method. You can probably take an hour or 2 off for setup and general messing around too. I kept my other lowbie (still lvl 5) in the same zone although I don't even know if this was necessary for it to work.

Update: (yeah I'm obsessed :P ) 4hrs 59 mins to lvl 20 with rogue + pet.

Nice, 5 hours to level 20?

So what you're saying is:

2 grouped Lowbies, tagging mobs "yellow" mobs con.
Then having your high level Hunter's pet kill the lowbie's target?

I wonder what the path of kills are for the Horde side.

Great thread and site!

I currently have 2 accounts, first has 70 Warlock and Priest, 62 Rogue, 59 Warrior and 24 Shaman. Second account has 60 Warrior, 55 Druid, 40 Warlock and 19 Mage.

I am new to this, so I figured best way to start would to have the 70 priest follow a toon from other account (ungrouped), and bind some keys to cast heals and buffs? I would get full exp with no downtime, especially with a melee lowbie.

Another question.. will the keyclone software run on Vista x64?

This would work, grinding Yellow mobs is probably your best bet.

Yes.

Tried it out last night with hotkeynet.. had my 55 druid follow my 24 shaman.. wow.. very nice.. nearly limitless grinding.. bag space will be an issue lol

im running my 50pali alt thru zf with my mage. able to grp 10-12 mobs at once then aoe em down without heals, tho its there if needed. only down half mana and hp. each kill gets the alt about 100xp. ZF is nice cause the mobs arent too far apart, and your alt has a good chance of surviving if they start wailing on him (which shouldnt happen too often if you use arc exp). once u clear zf, u reset it for instant respawn. tried brd, but the mobs were tough enough that i coud only go for 5-6 at a time, though usually down abut 85% mana and hp, requiring more time to drink and eat.

this is my second day of dual-boxing, so im looking forward to tryin out more spots. im gonna break out my old mage AOE grind list, see if anything else might work, tho I dont suppose the alt is going to get much xp from non-elites. im also levelin a priest, want to see what kind of exp i can get him from runnnin him through VC with my mage as soon as he is hi enough.

going to try scholomance and strat, see what kind of exp the alt gets in there. not a big fan of sunken temple so im probably gonna skip trying that place out.

this is my first post on this site but i will try to post more i have been duel boxing two accounts of wow for about 3 months now. i started off with my lvl 70 ne hunter, i created a human mage at lvl 10 i started runnig her throough vc (dead mines) i personal like useing a hunter in duel boxing. i think they are great for it in one fact the pet keeps you and the low lvl toon away from the fight . i have had the same luck with the pally and the loc i have started . and yes the loc would be great to use also soul stone would come in handy. but if you run the instance or the qst right you should never die.

Some one said Pizza :P

I only box 2 atm.

I have Twins HE Hunter one mark and beast on PVP. Nothing can really touch me and other players dont mess with me very much unless they want to get owned.

Its a lot of fun to play 2 Hunters

I am new to this Forum, and wanted to share my experience multi-boxing.
I have been casually 2 boxing for a while with 2 machines between 3 different accounts.

My main is a 70 Orc Hunter, 4/5 T4. I use him for a lot of different things:
1. Raiding
2. Farming
3. I used him to help level my Holy Priest from 60-70 through quests
4. Dragging lowbie toons through instances

I have currently a 49 Warrior, 32 Druid, 32 Mage. I got those toons to 20 by "conventional" methods (i.e. questing), then I just instance level them. I put the alt on auto-follow and the Hunter does all the killing. As some have pointed out, this does not give max xp to the alt, but my Hunter can solo through everything up to and including Ramparts. Hunters are great for this purpose, since they are ranged and have a pet, rarely if ever does a mob aggro my alt, even if the alts are 10 levels below the elite mobs. A standard run through SM or ZF is only about an hour to an hour and a half, Mara or ST is longer, and typically in that time I can go through most, if not all the rested xp on the alt. That is about 1.5 to 2 levels a day rested. I find this to be an effective and efficient way to level my alts, considering that I am a rather casual player, only playing about 10-15 hours a week.

I want to start 3 boxing, starting fresh and leveling all 3 toons together. I am curious as to some effective combos of toons. I am primarily PVE, and rarely BG. I am considering Paladin/Druid/Mage - lots of buffs, dps, heals and tanking abilities. Any thoughts?

All in all, I really enjoy multi-boxing, it has added to my enjoyment of WoW immensely.

ahhhh .......Everquest...East Commonlands.....those were the days. when you could take your lvl 5 Druid get a Hand of Virtue and a C3 cast on you and you could own the entire zone for like 2 hours.....

That was loads of fun
