NEWS - 2026-03-28

I think I've reached my breaking point.

Bliz has decided they don't like "combat addons" filling the gaps of their poor UI and encounter designers and have taken increasingly draconian actions to stop many of them from working.

MultiTool is not and never was really a "combat addon" it started out as a tool to help multi-boxers, and shifted to being more just 'quality of life tools' for folks questing together.

However, the extremes that Blizzard has gone to to protect "secret data" has caused so many errors and headaches that I'm kind of done. I can maybe make MultiTool functional enough for a few key things but honestly, I'm tired of fighting them.

If Blizzard ever gets their collective head out of their arse on this matter, maybe I'll go back to trying but I'm kind of just done. I play WoW to escape from the horrible daily nightmare that is 2026… I don't need to fight with the API just to get basic stuff to work again after they break it.

Good luck.

SUMMARY

MultiTool: A set of quality of life tools to help make folks who quest together's lives a bit easier.

Rebooting the Addon

I stopped playing Warcraft several expansions ago, but have gotten back into it, thus I resurrected this addon.

Been active in fixing bugs from API changes since I last updated.

Added my first new feature in years: Auto Accept Invite for in my own guild

Its a new option (on by default) that if auto accept group is true AND you've selected the guild override option, it will not bother checking whitelist

I'll add more of this and likely battlenet friend stuff soon

New Repo Home

I have nothing against curseforce/wowace but I never cared much for the subversion repo used by wowace.

This addon is not officialy hosted at my github

There are going to be quite a few quick checkins there if you want the latest

The addon itself will continue to be updated at curseforge

HISTORY / INSPIRATION

This addon was originally created to assit me with multiboxing (using 2 or 3 accounts at once) WotLK phasing made multi-boxing harder and harder as it constantly broke follow etc. I stopped multi-boxing but found that this addon was still very useful for folks questing together and for the few little quality of life enhancements like auto sell gray and auto reject duel etc, so I kept it going

As someone who used to dual / triple box all the time, I have found a lot of little bits and pieces in the addon world that help take some of the drudgery out of multiple invites, turnins, quest gossips, yada yada. Often times, I find I am installing a whole addon just for one small feature, leading to a lot of overhead. I decided that Enough is enough.

This addon was inspired by Smurfy's MultiBox v2 which has a great collection of really useful stuff. If MultiBoxer was Ace3 or used a more lightweight approach, I'd probably just contribute and/or make a fork. Instead, I've decided to try my hand at a ground-up, exactly-what-I-want, lightweight Ace3-based addon.

I'd also like to acknowledge "Zanthor's Quest Broadcaster" for giving me a road map for quest gossip cloning.

ABOUT 'MASTERLESS' TOOLS

A lot of the available addons for multi boxers seem to use the concept of a "master".. Makes sense I suppose, after, all, you tend to play one toon (master) and have all the others (slaves) follow you and do stuff when your master does.

This is all well and good, but I often find that when not in combat, (quest pickup/turnin, flight masters, etc…) I may want to be taking lead on a different toon. (cuz I happen to be on that mouse/kbd for some reason).

So, I designed a system for flightmasters and quest givers where all you do is open the npc dialog on all your toons, then pick the option on ANY ONE and the others follow you.

NOTE: I deliberately do NOT clone quest reward choices on the grounds that I run three different classes and want to pick that myself. I may put in an option for "total clone" where that is allowed, but for now, you gotta pick your rewards manually.

FEATURE ROAD MAP

I've got a LOT of little things I'd like to do with this addon over time. Some of these may be impractical or not really end up being what I wanted. They are listed here somewhat in the order I want to build them in.

• Warn on losing AutoFollow - Implemented v0.3.05 This was due to a suggestion from jst-one from www.dual-boxing.com forums

• "Follow Me" - Not Started Any toon in group with the addon can send a "follow me" command and the others will attempt to /follow them… this will probably ONLY work out of combat due to Blizz security

NOTES

There are probably many things I can't think of at the moment, but this is a good wish-list.

If I can figure out a way to do it, I may set this up as individual modules so that one can quickly enable/disable parts they want or don't want to save performance and to try and isolate the parts from each other as much as possible
