Multiclienting

Hey everyone,

now since vacuum farming aka ghost farming / busting is nerfed we need to go back to the roots. In other words: six client dom farming.
Now the question is: how does one run six clients with most efficiency? I personally only have a desktop computer and a notebook. Four clients is therefor not a problem.

My desktop should actually be able to run four clients, if not six. I've tried to setup two virtual machienes with VMware. I got four characters ingame, but they kept crashing. My specs for reference:

i5-2500 @3.10Ghz
8GB RAM
GTX 670

The problem might be my HDD. It still runs at 5.4K rpm. I was using VMware Workstation Player 10 or 12.

I've also tried Sandboxie. I was able to run four clients on my desktop and two clients on my notebook. I was using the free version, so I could only have one active sandbox. Else I would have tried to run all six clients on my desktop.

I know there is a software called ISboxes, although I have never used it. I should note that both, Sandboxie and ISboxer violate GGG's ToA and you can get banned for using it. However, I don't know the chances of getting banned when using it. I can't imagine that software like this is hard to detect tho.

TL;DR:
Six Client Dom Runs - How?
Virtual Machienes, Sandboxie, ISboxer, other software?

What do you mean by that ? i just want to start botting on poe, you can't bot anymore or ??
For your problem i think i have a solution just search multiboxing on trove in google there's a lot of tutorials and you can easily convert that to poe ;)

Vacuum farming was a method of stacking multiple tormented ghost on to several mobs to get alot of loot. They fixed this method with the patch 2.0.4.

My problem with multiclienting is that I can't (legally!) run six instances of PoE. This would require a virtual machiene, but my computer is just not good enough.

My question basically is if anyone here has experience with sandboxie and/or ISboxer. Using this software is against GGG's terms of use and therefor banable, but I don't know the chances of being detected.

I think that your chances are pretty high since you are using same ip/hwid/windows user for multiples clients, if they have any type of this detection you will get banned ( but it depends on them ).
If you have money to spend you can always buy a vps and bot from there.
In your case i would advice using new accounts and trade everything you got everytime to your main before logging off

Yeah thats what I thought too. The real problem is that I don't know how GGG is banning people. Let's say they find someone using ISboxer. Would they ban only this particular account or every accound with the same hwid or even every account with the same IP?

Also, it seems that they can't detect cirtual machienes so I guess they are changing your hwid. However, I don't know if sandboxie changes your hwid aswell.

Vitual machines change the hwid and the ip ^^
sandboxie won't change your hwid because it's the id of windows you are using :/
had a lot of experiences with a game company like GGG it was back when i used to bot A LOT!
They usually banned all the accounts.
You can't do much about it, but i like i told you always ALWAYS secure the loot you gain and for maximum security trade the loot between 2 - 3 accounts so it will make it harder to detect your main.
Also try using a vpn either when you are multiboxing or when you want to transfer the loot to your main.
Good luck ! ^^
