Multibox Daily Quest Guide

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiled by Chilkoot of Medivh

This guide outlines a strategy to generate about 1300g in 70 minutes by running daily quests on your 5-box team.

Each quest listed here allows either group credit for objectives or group looting for quest items (ie. the quest Retest Now). The strategy below assumes the following:

• You have a 5-character Alliance team, and all characters in your team are level 80.
• You have completed most of the quest chains in Storm Peaks and Icecrown, and are very familiar with both zones.
• Your team is geared and coordinated enough to handle group quests.
• Each member of your team is at least Friendly with Sons of Hodir, although Honored and Revered are required by two of the quests.
• You have flying mounts and Cold Weather Flying.

Epic flight is not required, but all times listed here are based on epic flight speeds: add about 20 minutes total to the circuit without epic flight. Taxi flight times assume characters home location (hearth) is set to Wyrmrest Temple. The times listed assume looting all mobs, but total earned does not include loot from mobs or repair/taxi costs (see below).

Each step below shows the approximate time to complete in minutes (with some practice), as well as the total gold earned in that step, across 5 characters. Completion times will vary based on group composition, experience and individual multibox setup (loot and quest mods, etc). Note that quest turn in may occur in a later step, but the gold earned is summarized in the step in which the activities for the quest are completed.

Step One: Dun Niffelm (11:30, 198.45g)

Fly to Dun Niffelm. Pick up and complete the following quests:

• Blowing Hodir's Horn (Friendly)
• Spy Hunter (Honored)
• Feeding Arngrim (Revered)

TIP: For Spy Hunter, have 3 different members of your group use the canine fang in quick succession, and mark each of their guardians with a raid icon for visibility. This cuts the quest time significantly. You can complete Feeding Arngrim quickly while the guardians search the area.

Step Two: Travel & K3 (~6:00, 64.80g)

Take the taxi from Dun Niffelm to K3 (1:30). Pick up and complete Overstock. (1:30)

TIP: You do not need to use the mines provided for this quest. Just tap the mobs by any method as quickly as possible and let the turrets kill them off

Take the taxi to Dalaran, then take the faction-only taxi from Krasus' landing to Stormbreaker (~3:00).

Step Three: Central Icecrown (11:30, 198.45g)

Pick up the following quests on Stormbreaker:

• Blood of the Chosen (Drosche)
• Slaves to Saronite (Absalan)
• Drag and Drop (Thassarian)
• That's Abominable (Thassarian)
• No Rest for the Wicked (Thassarian)
• Neutralizing the Plague (Thassarian)
• Retest Now (Boltwrench, below)
• The Solution Solution (Boltwrench, below)

Fly to the Valley of Lost Hope, and initiate Assault by Ground. Complete this escort, get the last few kills for Blood of the Chosen, then enter the mine and complete Slaves to Saronite.

Return to the Valley of Lost Hope and turn in Assault by Ground.

Step Four: Southeastern Icecrown (14:30, 243.30g)

Fly Southeast, obtain a vial of spinal fluid for at least 3 members of your party (all from one kill), then complete Neutralizing the Plague.

Head down to ground level and complete That's Abominable and The Solution Solution.

Step Five: The Shadow Vault (9:30, 198.45g)

Fly due east to Crusaders' Pinnacle and take the taxi to The Shadow Vault (3:00). Pickup and complete the following quests:

• Leave our Mark
• Vile Like Fire!
• Shoot 'em Up

TIP: For Vile Like Fire!, leave your team mounted (flying) and only enter the vehicle on your lead character to burn the buildings. You can no longer burn the same building every 3 seconds, so you'll need to fly around a bit with your team on follow (ty Ughmahedhurtz!).

TIP: For Leave our Mark, have all team members use the Ebon Blade Banner (via a multiplexed key) at the same time, and you will get 5x credit, meaning only 3 kills are necessary. This little trick only works if all characters use the item simultaneously. As of patch 3.2, all characters need to target the corpse individually before using the Banner (ty Gaffer!).

Step Six: Onslaught Harbor (6:00, 132.30g)

Fly southwest to Death's Rise, and pick up:

• From their Corpses, Rise!
• No Fly Zone

Complete these quickly by pulling several flying mobs in Onslaught Harbor to the top of a single turret for an AoE party - the same mobs will work for both quests. Turn in at Death's Rise, take the Taxi back to Shadow Vault and turn Vile Like Fire!, Leave Our Mark and Shoot 'em Up.

Step Seven: North Central Citadel (12:00, 243.30g)

Fly southeast from the Vault, and complete Retest Now. Next, fly up the stairs/ramp into the building and complete No Rest for the Wicked. Finally, fly south along the ramparts to Drag and Drop.

TIP: In Retest Now, each mob is lootable by every member in the group, so the minimum required kills is 10, not 50. Some players prefer to complete this quest first in Icecrown for the 2-hour buff, though with even moderate gear it makes very little difference.

TIP: In No Rest for the Wicked, pick up Alumenth's artifacts from the chests on all 5 characters to create Alumenth's Remains. This will allow you to bypass the room trash on your next 4 visits. (ty Heffner!)

Return to Skybreaker and turn in all remaining quests:

• Blood of the Chosen
• Slaves to Saronite
• Drag and Drop
• That's Abominable
• Neutralizing the Plague
• No Rest for the Wicked
• Retest Now
• The Solution Solution

You're done! Total time spent: approximately 70 minutes. Total earned: about 1280g. If you loot the mobs you kill (the times above assume you do), the cash, greens, cloth, etc will easily pay for your taxi costs and repairs, plus another 50g or so, depending on luck (possibly more if you hit a few ore nodes and herbs along the way).

Optionally, you can leave out steps one and two, and still turn a respectable 1000g in about an hour, depending on your start area. Now get out there and make some money!

Helpful Macros:

You can save yourself lots of time and fiddling by mapping the following macro on your main character to a key:

/use Hodir's Horn
/use Arngrim's Tooth
/use Flesh Giant Spine
/use Pustulant Spinal Fluid
/use Abomination Reanimation Kit
/use Ebon Blade Banner
/use Tainted Essence
/use Writhing Mass
/use Orb of Illusion
/use Darkmender's Tincture

... and map the one below to a common key on the slaves:

/use Flesh Giant Spine
/use Pustulant Spinal Fluid
/use Ebon Blade Banner
/use Tainted Essence
/use Writhing Mass

These macros don't cover all the bases, but they don't usually break anything, either, as long as you watch what you're doing. You can work out more robust macros to fit your setup. Thanks to Heffner for reminding me to include these.

This guide was compiled using 5 Druids on a Normal (non-PVP) realm in quested/crafted blue-quality gear. For non-group quests, all Druids were spec'd Moonkin. For the two group quests, a Feral tank and Resto healer were used (dual-spec). Please send any inquiries or corrections to Chilkoot on Medivh. Many thanks to the members of dual-boxing.com for the valuable contributions!

Yeah all fun and cool but I dont think a term gold/hour should be used since dailies can be done once per day and some people preffer to do that kind of trick "ALL DAY" to have a drastic income once in a while. Nevertheless you forgot to inculde that its just doing all dailies by all your char with in fact has 1k g but divided by 5 characters.

[Greythan]

Wow, great post.

I'm Horde, so there'd be some adjustments, but this is a really great guide. I know doing something like this takes a lot of time. I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of a lot of the community when I say.... thanks!

You're out to lunch.

Show me OP's inference that you could make 24k in a day. Oh, he never infers that?

Show me he inferred you'd make 5k across a five man team. Oh, he never infers that?

Show me where a community member took the time to put a useful post LOADED with information. Done.

Show me where a second poster took nearly no time to nitpick said post. Done.

I *think* they're pretty much the same, except "The Solution Solution" would be "Volatility" for Horde. I'd go check it out, but the good folks on Orgrim's Hammer tend to shoot at me when I go to borrow sugar

1) NTY im on a diet.
2) You didnt said that striaghly but you made it look like with the gold/h with is missleading and confusing.
3) What does a cow has to do with monkey? I said the cash is divided thats all
4) http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/in...ard&boardID=11 [11 stickied threads]
http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/in...ard&boardID=35 [ another 11 sticked threads]

pretty much in every forum part there are usefull threads LOADED with information by comunity members.

5) proper understandable english plz.

Very nice post. I'm not far enough along to do these dailies yet, but ill be sure to reference this post when I do.

[Chilkoot]

I've edited the wording a bit to be less missleading , but I think it's pretty clear that we're talking total income here, and as it's based on dailies, you can only do them once per day unless you have multiple teams, which many posters here do.

In any event, constructive feedback and edits are always very kindly received, as I've only really been doing this circuit on my own group, and I'm sure there's lots of ways to improve it. I'm looking at the dailies in Brunnhildar Village right now, but they don't yield as much coin, and the goal of the guide is always to keep earning at the 1000g/hour rate, whether your run dailies for 30 minutes or 90 minutes. It may show up as an optional section in a later revision.

One tip with the quest "Leave our Mark"
On your salves make a macro:

/assist <main>
/use <whatever the banner is called>

You get credit for each member that way (5-man team gets 5/15 per kill) That way you only need 3 kills to get the quest done, and you'll get that many just clearing your way in to do Shoot 'em Up

Unless you fly straight to the harpoons, but finding 3 mobs really is a non-issue.
