Is it possible to solo RaF?

[fhm]

Hey guys
I am currently playing on a super low pop realm and I want to make a kind of a change, cuz the AH is dead, trade, general - kinda everything
I came to the idea to use the RaF thingy, but since all of my buddies are /cba, I gotta play on both accounts myself ...
Is it even possible? I mean ill be making same race, different class characters, lvl till 15 and then im going to use the LFG tool. That's my plan, but through those dungeons is it possible to play with 2 chars at the same time, cuz i think the /follow command breaks quite often and im talking about looting the mobs for the quest items etc etc...
If there is anyone who solo RaFéd himself, pls give me hint
Thanks for your time anyway <3

Yes, use this:

AUTO HOT KEY / WOW (Vith's script) - Gaming - AutoHotkey Community

Its free and works well, i've used it to 2 box and also 5 box. Set up assist macros on your second character that assists your first character so it helps with dps, like for example

/assist Your main character name here
/cast spell here

Yes, soloing RAF is possible. I even tested this with connected realms and it seems to work well, except for the summon friend feature. When you use Summon Friend and the character is on another realm, the cast completes, and no summon is received. However, when you do this on the same realm, there are no problems at all.

My advice is this:
To keep the same experience levels, avoid completing any class quests, kill mobs only within 100 yds of each other, and create what ever races you want for either character. The exceptions to races are those that start in a unaccessible zone like Kezan or Pandaren (Summons are not available until those beginning areas are complete). The same also goes for Death Knights, they cannot be summoned out / summon someone in the starting zone unless it is another death knight at similar quest progress.

Also, keep in mind that with RAF, you will be leveling about 3x faster, so kill credit quests are the best, collection quests sort of suck if you are interacting with objects to retrieve the quest item, but if they are found on the corpse of something you kill, it's not so bad because both characters get quest drops. If it is a quest that you have to get something from a crate or something, AND the crate doesn't disappear when you loot it, then you might have to wait like 10-15 seconds between looting it to avoid the error: There is no loot.

I hope this post helps anyone who can use it.

Yea, people use it since years. Myself started multiboxing in the patch 2.01 (late 2006), when I got fed up from lvl60 gankers, messing with my lowbie hunter, and leveled it with pvp geared lvl 60 catty in stealt on follow!
Still I cant forget how ppl get surpriced, when attempt to gank my hunter, and got pwned with the OP cat

Multiboxing is gives much more fun and entertainment if you are felling handycapped while playing only 1 character at a time, or if you need to explore more opportunities ingame.

Yep!
I always solo RAF.

Just refer your own email and then you can even use your boa's on both accounts

Running two accounts doesn't take much.. I did it on a crappy computer.

by far the best way to grind out new high levels.
