Looting with 4 instances

How do you loot multiboxing with 4 characters and making sure you do not miss items?

I mean, every character sees only his items and not from the others.

Here's what I do and I'd be interested if anyone else has any tips/suggestions.

On my non-main clients, I turn off music and voice volume altogether. I set ambient volume to about 50%, then I jack up the effects volume to 100%. This makes it much easier to hear that distinctive sound of a legendary dropping on those clients while boxing.

Secondly, I create video source feeds on each of my non-main clients on the mini-map. Then on my main screen, I create a video viewer of each client's mini-map and put it in an easy to see location, like around the top of my screen or wherever. As you know, when a legendary drops, you get a big orange star on the mini map, and this will catch your eye if you can see everyone's mini maps. Always make sure to watch each video feed closely after an elite, champion or boss fight. If you're running a stacked layout, you could even create a dxNothing window on a secondary monitor and stretch the mini maps out to where they were very large and the orange star would DEFINITELY be seen when it appeared.

As far as normal rare (yellow) items, after an elite, champion or boss fight I will swap to each instance and see if there's any i want to pick up like a ring, amulet or one-hander. But I never check my client machines on trash.

Also, kinda unrelated to "loot" but worth mentioning, i try to gear each of my clients with pickup radius gear for gold. That way I know I'm pretty much getting all of it just by normal playing.

Hope that helps!

I was reading that ***** was bannable (and that some that used it got hit in the recent ban wave) since it read memory for loot and allowed you to play in a way that was "unintended" by the devs.

Am I wrong about this? That sounds like an ideal program for boxing, almost too good to be true. And I'd love to use it if there's no danger of violating anything.

Yes that program is against the Diablo 3 TOS

I've been using said program and ive yet to be banned but i guess i wont encourage it.

There is no way to successfully loot without a 3rd party software at this time that Blizzard does not deem bannable.

The only realy way to loot is look after every big pack. It's easy for WD to do but harder for other classes that dont group up enemies.

If focused strictly on Legendary items just do a run then check the map at the end.

If you don't mind backtracking to pick up items: clear an area; open your map on each account; search each map for a legendary icon within the area you just cleared.
