Escort quests, not for boxers?

[kega]

On my way from lvl 1 to 65 I've done a fair amount of escort quests, and most of them never gets completed on my slaves but only on my main?
Have anyone elese noticed this? I accept the quest on all my slaves, they have it in their quest log but still doesent get it completed.

Happened again last night in Mana Tombs, where you escort the guy out of the instance and kill a small "boss" in the end. The miniboss dies and my paladin get the quest completed, not my 3 shamans...

Tried contacting a GM, got a short answer "Try it again"

If you use the AcceptAll type macro then it screws up.

Treat escort quests exactly as you would if you were not a boxer:

- Make sure ALL members of the party are at the same stage of the quest (i.e. ready to accept the escort quest).
- Just ONE of them accepts the escort quest.
- All the others get a "Muppet is starting <blerg> quest, do you want to join in" type message.
- All of them say "yep".

That's always going to work, boxer or not

Otlecs tells the truth. only way to do it.

That way it goes smooth

I use:
/script AcceptGroup();
/script AcceptQuest();
/script AcceptTrade();
/script CompleteQuest();
/script GetQuestReward();
/script ConfirmAcceptQuest();

And never have a messed up escort, sorry.

Electron, are you saying that you open the quest giver dialogue, talk to the quest giver with all your characters, get them to the "Accept" window, and then bash the macro?

Or are you saying that you accept on one character then bash the macro to get them all to take part.

The second will always work (ConfirmAcceptQuest). In my experience the first doesn't.

If the first method (all AcceptQuest at the same time) works for you then that's great, but it really didn't work for me, my wife (who also boxes) or apparently for the OP. We'd sometimes end up with two on the quest, sometimes three, and occasionally only one!

I imagine it's down to timing.

I see... I think the multiboxer addons has an option about escort quests?
Anyway, I thought since everyone had the quest in their log it would work.

I just have 1 talk and rest accept. I don't all talk. I thought that was the reason for the macro, so you wouldn't have to talk.

Yes

What doesn't work is having all drones talk and all try to accept at the same time, and I suspect that's what Kega was doing.

The system the Multiboxer v2 addon uses for example fucks this up. As has been said, accept the quest on your main and then accept the popup on the others. Either manually or by using a script.

[OzPhoenix]

I just do it manually.

It couldn't be arsed writing or using a macro as it's so infrequently needed.

Since lvl1, I'd have done maybe 6? 7? such quests.

One talks, the other four get the popup, and 8 mouse clicks later we're happy trails...
