Looting

I have a question on looting.... 5 boxing collection quests sucks rock... but maybe that is because I am not aware of an easier way.

Currently, when I kill the MOB, I walk up next to it will all 5 toons, turn on broadcasting, and then loot by putting my mouse over the corpse hopefully getting all 5 toons to be over the corpse at once. Whoever gets the item gets it. It is the fastest way I have been able to come up with but i am relatively new to WoW.
Is there a macro or some other way that you people loot body items for quests on all 5 toons? Like push one button and it broadcasts to all toons to target closest dead body and then loot... Idunno, something like that.

Re: Looting

There is an 'Interact With Target' key bind in the general keymap. You'll have to bind the 'Interact with target' function in the keymap of all your toons to an available key (I use ctl-alt-shift-J), and bind the key function in Isboxer to a button as well.

Select the corpse on the master, press the key (and hold for 1/2 second or so makes it work more reliably for me), release the key. The appropriate toon should run up to the corpse and loot it. If it has rollable loot, all toons will run up and all will get the loot roll window (which I haven't solved yet)

Re: Looting

Thanks for replying amigo.... question:

Ok, I did Keymaps - General - Interact with target. I made the hotkey Alt C -

After that, what do I set up under Advanced or Step 1 or 2.

the Alt Cd oes make all 5 instance target the corpse, so got that far... but cant fgure out what to do past there and don't want anything to get messed up.

Re: Looting

The first key you want is /assist MainCharacterName Since I havent started with the keymapping in ISBoxer yet, and I have low levels starting I just mapped all assist macros on non-main characters to the "-" which is by default sent to all. Then I set = to the keybinding in WOW for "Interact with Target" which is used for the equivalent of right-clicking on Quest givers and corpses.
I target the body with Main and hit "-" and "=" and they all try to loot. Obviously I will soon add other keys to the mapping and set it up on my G15 keys or somewhere else because those are hot buttons.

I hope this helps a little.

Re: Looting

It got me on the right track, thank you.... however, click to move has to be enable for this and that isnt what I want.. let me try to explain better:

I have a 5 man team
All 4 follow the main
When I kill a MOB I want to walk up next to the corpse and have every toon target that corpse and then loot... hopefull with just one key stroke (but two is fine also). .. so any toon in range of the corpse will looy without moving or having to be controlled.

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Looting

http://isboxer.com/wiki/WoW:Quick_Start ... _with_NPCs walks you through this. You need to have recently run the wizard to have the required mapped keys set up automatically in ISBoxer.
