From author about money - 2

Hello, buddies! Since my last call, I got about $80 as donations. This is still not enough to live but is enough to feel that Levelbuddy is living and actual project. So I plan to keep working on it. At least I am going to implement the most required features and paid subscription. This will take about a month, so keep watching the site!

Why dual leveling?

Leveling two characters together in Classic WoW is faster and more effective.

Or tremendous faster if you have slow-leveling class like warrior. There are a lot of class combinations that have great synergy (like in arena). The rules of thumb are:

If you level ranged DD, add a mage. It brings free water, food, portals, damage, aoe damage, crowd control, and increased PvP power.
If you level melee DD, add a healer. You can run dungeons easily.
If you level a mage, add another mage. Nothing is better then a mage :)

All you need is a mate who is always online when you are online.

Or, you can use Levelbuddy.

How it works?

You run WoW client twice on your computer. Every key you press in one WoW client is translated to another WoW client. So you are playing both characters at the same time. This is called "multiboxing".

Is it legal?

Yes: official Blizzard answer and another answer.

Is using Levelbuddy difficult?

No. You just need these steps:

Make an account with minion character.
Make minion keybinds the same as main keybinds (damage, mounting, drinking etc).
Make assist and follow macros for minion (see Features setup).
Download Levelbuddy executable (standalone exe, Windows 7/8/10 only).
Run it (neither install nor tuning are required).
Play your main character as usual and enjoy the power of dual leveling.

Features

To improve your gaming experience, Levelbuddy provides several features to autocontrol your minion character.

Auto assist
When you left click on main (e.g. choose target), the minion picks your target up (via macro).
Auto interact
When you right click on main (e.g. interact), minion interacts with target as well. It also confirms interact command by voice.
Auto follow
When you press 'W' on main (e.g. forward), minion starts following you.
Minion run/stop
When you press both left and right button on main (e.g. run), minion does the same. This breaks following and interacting.
Click through
Left and right mouse clicks are not broadcasted (because it usually useless). However, when you double click by left or right button, this click is translated. This is usefull if you need to click some system window like invite to dungeon for both characters.
Same camera view
When double clicked, scaling and angle for in-game camera are defaulted for both clients. This is usefull if you need to click something in game world, like open chest or use portal.

Features setup

To use the features above, you need a small tuning for your minion character. Open WoW client for your minion character and setup the following:

Make macro
/cleartarget /assist YourMainCharName /point and bind it to F12 key. Every time you press left click on main character(e.g. choose target), minion gets F12 key and picks up your target and follows you. Also minion reports what target it picked up.
Open "Settings -> Key Bindings -> Targeting" and bind "Interact With Target" to F11. Every time you press right click on main character(e.g. interact), minion gets F11 key and interacts with target.
Open "Settings -> Interface -> Mouse" and enable Click-to-Move.
Make macro /yes and bind it to F10 key. Every time you press right click on main, minion gets F10 key and confirms that it got your command.
Make macro /follow YourMainCharName and bind it to F8 key. Every time you press 'W' , minion gets F8 key and starts following.
On both characters, make macro /script SetView(4);SetView(4) and bind it to F9 key. Every time you double click on main, both characters get F9 key and make their camera the same. With /follow macro your characters will stay together and have same eye direction, so with this macro you get almost identical screens.
(optional) On minion character, add /assist YourMainCharName to existing damage macros to make sure that minion always hit the same target.
(optional) Install "EMA" addon. It does a lot of useful things: auto accept and complete quests, track quests and items, check following and XP, and much more. This greatly helps to watch and control your team in game.

Also I recommend to bind your damage spells to mouse wheel (up, down and press) and do damage like browsing internet page.
