Guide: The Hivemind Mount Walkthrough for Multiboxers

[tsincaat]

It was great to be able to quickly review some parts of your video guide Multidayz, I was doing the skip for my 2nd team and probably would have wasted a bunch of time if I hadn't watched as I didn't remember that I needed the treasure necklaces on every character.

Thanks Ellay! For the petting.. you can use IWT to pet them.. that way the NPC cant get in the way. you got lucky on your code..low numbers.. i had 88826 so i targetted the cats on 1>2>3 and IWT twice.. once i got that 2nd petting bar moving I switched to 5 and had him quickly target his cat and start petting since he needed 6..when i got to 6 pettings on the 1st three i switched to 4 and had him target and iwt with his cat for the last two pettings ( all others are still IWTing the whole time.) Does that make since? it made it super easy!

Nice, I did something similar. First I had each of my team members target the correct cat.

I made a key in ISBoxer with a step for each time my characters have to pet the cat, so for my number which was 9 9 8 6 1

Step 1: A, B - Variable Keystroke: Interact With Target
Step 2: A, B, C - Variable Keystroke: Interact With Target
Step 3: A, B, C - Variable Keystroke: Interact With Target
Step 4: A, B, C, D - Variable Keystroke: Interact With Target
etc...
Step 9: A, B, C, D, E - Variable Keystroke: Interact With Target

It's potentially more time consuming than just swapping windows and doing it quickly, but I remember I had some trouble the first time I did the Hivemind, so this made it super easy with no chance of messing it up. Just sharing that in case anyone else taking this on might want to try doing this.

Very nice!

I've added parts 5/6/7 to show the fully completed pieces and as Lyonheart mentioned I show in the video how to do the skip on part 5. Hope this helps everyone!

I really had a problem with the disc part. Getting on it right in time. I just copied the position on the map of the toons from your guide, and it worked like a charm.

I just tried the skip steps today (9/25) and the cat toy despawned as soon as the character in the beam room changed groups. Can someone confirm that the skip still works or am I doing something wrongs?
I tried it both having the toon in the room drop group and uninviting members separately and inviting the new ones. Both times as soon as the group members changed the cat toy despawned.

Gonna drop a little secret here for the Yellow monocle. Save some people their sanity.

Do it on 1 character. When you finish the annoying hour long puzzle and the chest appears, you can invite any other characters to your group to come to HoO and loot the chest. You can literally invite and bring every character (i think the minimum level is 83) so they will never have to repeat the puzzle. Just make sure they have the Necklace from Shattrath on them and they will be able to go down an loot it.

Pro-tip: if you are able, do it on a few warlocks and just summon the character that have trouble getting to HoO.

Noo! Had to try and see if it was true, and I'm getting the same. It disappears when you form a new group. Ugh.

[EDIT:] Well Psy-Crow and Middas just reported that the cat toy worked for them on a second team, so it looks like it's still working. Must be a glitch or something that can go wrong in the switching of teams. I'll try again tomorrow.

[propagandalf]

Got another team through today, skipping monocles, so it's still working. Carry on.

I will also confirm it is still working. I did my last 4 teams this weekend. Dks..DHs..Shams and Hunters. But i did get scared when i tried to do it with my DHs and the toy vanished .. my DH had warmode on! my druids(team with monocles) had it off! After i turned it off and did it again.. it worked.

[schmonz]

Well, on my third hivemind group it despawned. I never have warmode on, as i do not play pvp. No idea how to fix it. I had a mixed team which killed the adds, and the healer of the other group in the room. After i carefully changed the group to the group that should have the mount, it desapwned on the 2nd change..

Edit: Well, i discovered, why. I have DynamicBoxer installed, which makes IS1 / WOW1 to invite all party members. The cat figure despawned on that auto invite from my 2nd char. Now it worked.

Thanks to the awesome videos and discussion throughout I successfully completed the Hivemind quest chain tonight. Thanks again Ellay for your videos! A couple notes in case others miss the information:

1. Red monocle do solo. Absolutely get the https://www.wowhead.com/item=54465/vashjir-seahorse from Vashj’ir opening quest chain. I initially did not and regretted it almost immediately. Swimming is just painfully slow when you aren’t on the bottom, plus underwater breathing has to be monitored (unless you were smart and had potions) Because this mount is not account shared if you don’t solo Red Monocle you’ll have to do this on every character. Also the red monocle quest chain takes a bit of gold (~3k?) plus this is a long quest chain!

2. The rest of the monocles no issue doing as a group. Fun and some long but nothing like Red.

3. Petting the kittens use the process that tsincaat (thank you!) mentioned earlier with ISboxer variable keystroke and IWT. Just makes it so easy. Also as a reminder when you get your code from the damage you received clicking the lost cat toy if you have any absorb make sure to add that to the damage!

4. The video series is just excellent. With some of Wowheads steps and images to help it really was a fun quest chain. Remarkable how they solved this, just so many “how on earth” moments.

5. I’m late to the party getting this mount and wish I had taken time when this came out to get it. It really is the ultimate multiboxers mount!
