Dualboxing at astralwow grants you with x5 exp from quests and x2 from mobs, you can also wear heirlooms this will increase your exp gained to x6 from quests and x3 from mobs (+ guild perks!). But how to do it?
1) First step is to make 2 accounts i assume that you already have one. Now you have to make second account using invitation code from first acc.
You might have to wait 1 day for your bonus exp. If it still doesnt work make a ticket about it.
2) Now when we have 2 accounts we have to get good software, most of them isnt free, here is download link to really good dualboxing sofware. There isnt much to set up and all is straight forward.

3) Next thing is setting up macros to speed everything up. Some examples with explanation.
Fast invite if you are multiboxing.
Big button
As you can see, this macro targets your focus, follows him, assists him, and then does a stopcast. I hit this ALL the time to make sure my guys are following, assisting (latency sometimes screws up assisting if you just use it in conjunction with your spell you are casting), or if I want the group to stop casting.
Place this macro on all secondary toons to accept quests/rez/etc:
As you can see, it accepts group (the invite dialog box still hangs around, but it will go away on its own after a few minutes if you dont want to click it), accepts shared quests, accepts trades, and rezzes if you have the accept button up on your toon's screen.
Now you need your damage spell. I'm going to use 5 Priests (what I play) as an example:
Make a macro for assist/smite:
Notice the nodead and harm qualifiers there. Adding these guys in prevents errors and also allows you to do nifty things like making one button do multiple things. Here's a quick example, but this one would be a macro for the main priest, not the secondaries:
This little beauty will smite an enemy, heal a friendly by simple mousing over their portrait or toon, or rez a friendly by mouseover. These are the reasons you WANT to use qualifiers.
So now I'm back to these 5 priests.
I simply put my smite into the quickbar for my main (try 2)
put my assist/smite macros on all my secondaries in the same number 2
put my accept macro on all the secondaries on the quickbar (try = )
put my "big button" on all the secondaries quickbars (try 1 )
throw my group invite on my main somewhere out of the way
and I'm ready to roll...
I hit my group invite, = to accept on the secondaries, F2 to target my group leader, F11 to focus my group leader on my secondaries, 1 to follow/assist, and I move out to go kill. I find a mob and hit 1 to assist the focus and stopcast, and hit 2 to assist and smite.
Congrats. You are now a Multiboxer! Enjoy all the other newbies in the zone freaking out at your mighty power.
