    Yeah prior to 5boxing I was a big proponent of doing collection quests...however, moving up to 5 has shown me the error of my ways. There is no fucking way I'm looting 60 Defias Bandannas when, after clearing a cave and field full of them no less than twice, I only had one set of 5 done. I said "Fuck that" and abandoned all 5, including the complete one so I didn't get ruin my still-matching exp. I completely skipped the bear/constrictor/ravager collections in the draenei lands for the same reasons; though I was masochistic enough to collect Sand Pears on all 5 chars...never again. lol
    I feel your pain, unfortunately I am seeing just how many of the Horde quests equate to insane collection tasks. I think I gained an entire level off of plain strider's just to collect the 7 beaks for all 5. Now I still have to do the raptor skulls which are a guaranteed drop per kill but they are so few and far between I'm considering dropping it... also the centaur bracer's quest for 15 per char and the drop rate is like 1 in 4-5

    I think I will just start farming large masses of humanoids for coin and loot until I start farming WC/SFK/RFK.

    I've done that one on several 5-boxing lowbies. It helps now that they sparkle. You can usually get enough via travel between the furbolgs, ravagers, and nagas in that area (and yes, I mean all for all 5 chars). Just need to make an effort to look for the sparklies.


    I did it once when loot didn't sparkle.... >.<

    Yeah I pretty much patrolled the edge of the Furbolg camp,(and did what you said Fur, lead always loots last) going around them, to the naga and back down to the ravagers on the eastern coast, they spawn best there, didn't take too awful long but still enough to drive you mad lol; the sparkles do indeed help, god bless whichever developer did that.

    I do not look forward to the Duskwood collection quests I'm gonna be doing soon...I gotta run deadmines again for VC's head to finish off Westfall then get going on Redridge's non-collection quests(yeah fuckin right like I'm gonna try to get 10 sunfish per char at the pitiful droprate + spawnrate those murlocs have...plus, they're MURLOCS. MURLOCS SUCK. lol) and I may have to skip the Battleworn axes quest too...though most of the orcs up there are nonelite now so maybe...the shadowhide pendants quest can go fuck itself though lol

    I always say to myself I'm not going to do the next collection quest...and end up doing them anyway, they usually do give lots of xp and the rapid killing with 5 make up for it.

    Yesterday I did my level 50 Shaman quest, killing bears, spiders and birds in Western Plaguelands...ugh, MONOTONOUS because of the low droprate. What's even more pathetic is I finished the Gahz'ridian quest in Tanaris the other night...I did split it up over a few days as I rode in and out of Tanaris, I'd stop by the ruins with ogres and get xp and cloth while picking up the ornaments...150 ornaments...

    I did that quest x5 last night as well. NOT a good time

    On an up note though, more to the original topic, I did encounter someone a bit more in the know about multiboxing. Guy messaged me asking me if thats what I was doing, whether I was hardware or software, asking me what my goals were etc. A good conversation, and he sounded interested in multiboxing so I gave him some tips and told him about this website. Maybe I'll have recruited a newbie sometime relatively soon.

    If your REAL bored and want to do a "collection quest" for days and days, try getting the 5x Laden Dew Gland and killing thousands and thousands of Threshrub Dew Collectors only never get any to drop. Seriously, I think either Blizzard removed that item from the game or lowered it's drop rate. But other then that. I've been doing collection quest, but at times it gets agrivating. Like I previously said, I like a challenge.

    That quest isn't REAL hard. Actually it's very easy. There is a slew of them in the ruins (not the one where you got the quest from but one the ogres are at). When I was doing that quest I think i had about 3 on one char and 5 on the other. Within minutes I got them all. I would guess that there are about 17-20 nodes, and some of them have fast respawn times.

    Sometimes, I would only do the collection quest for 2 of my toons (out of 5), just so that they could "catch up" and get closer in the XP.

    BTW, at 70, I enjoy getting whispers, "Wow... you're still around... thought you would be banned by now"... to which I would reply, "It's not against the TOS... see you in BGs. "

    I was in ogrimmar, doing the quest line for RFC from Thrall. As i step out of the gates and hang a left towards Skull Rock, I see this mage come shooting past me, pull a 180, then shoot past me again heading back to Ogg. I think nothing of it and head on, stopping at a Copper node and having one of my alts hit it up for the precious ore. Then the mage comes back and this time stops and turns towards me. Finally, he says "Go kill something and I will give you 10g." My immediate reply was "Yes boss!!" and proceeded to the nearest mob.

    4 Lightning bolts later and 10g richer, we strike up a conversation about multiboxing and how it was done. He mentions he has 4 accounts already, but didn't know how to do what I do, so I refer him here. I just wish all my "MB Encounters" with other people got me paid like this instead of the random "waste of time" or "get a life" comment.

    I did the dew gland on my 5x shammies and it was relatively quick. It can take a while to drop, but it drops for EVERYONE in the group. It's not any worse then doing it on one character, quicker even because you annihalate the mobs so quickly.
