Spellcast and Autoexec are both specifically designed so you can't automate stunning. You would need something further for that.

If you haven't been using Autoexec, I'd recommend getting it and using it. Lightluggage would also be useful, I'd imagine, because it's probably annoying to have 4 characters with 3 beetle shells and jaws each.

Yeah, consolidating inventory thus far has been somewhat of an annoyance, but nothing unbearable. I will look into LightLuggage.

I did not realize that about the stunning. I suppose that does put a damper on having a box dedicated to stunning.

I know its already been touched on before, but the exact details of how to get the various Red Procs on various job combos hasn't been explained. I figured i'd bite the bullet and list it out. I've only listed the WS's that need special weapons, merits or gear to gain access to. Hope someone finds this info useful.

NIN/WAR:
--Sunburst (Staff Skill 150): NIN gets 144 Staff Skill natively, need 3 merits, or the temperance torque
--Raiden Thrust: Only problem with getting this WS is finding a Polearm that a NIN can equip. Currently the only two in game is the Pitchfork and Pitchfork +1 from the Halloween event. If you don't have it yet, put it on your todo list for this coming halloween.

NIN/WAR is unable to get Freezebite (Great Sword) and Shadow of Death (Scythe), not because of a lack of skill, but simply because of a lack of weapon that NIN can equip. Should a "All Jobs" Scythe and Great Sword get added to the game, NIN will have 100% of red procs.

WAR/SAM:
--Tachi: Jinpu (Great Katana Skill 150): Skill isn't the issue, but like Raiden Thrust, just need a great katana that WAR can equip. The Hardwood Katana/Wooden Katana/Shinai/Lotus Katana are the only 4 in the game, and all come from the Feast of Swords event.
--Tachi: Koki (Great Katana Skill 175): WAR/SAM at 99 has 150 GTK skill, and needs to make up the 25 skill difference. You can do this with any combination of Merits (+16), Bushinomimi (+5), Justice Torque (+7), Kengo Hachimaki (+5) and the Fazheluo Helm (+5).

WAR/SAM is unable to get Blade: Ei (Katana, no skill), Cyclone (Dagger, Not allowed for WAR/SAM) and Energy Drain (Dagger, Not allowed for WAR/SAM).

WAR/NIN:
--Blade: Ei (Katana Skill 175): WAR/NIN at 99 has 150 Katana skill, and needs to make up the 25 skill difference. You can do this with a minimum of 7 merits (+14), Hope Torque (+7) and Kanja Hachimaki (+5). Also the Training Burin is also the only katana in the game that WAR can equip.
--Tachi: Jinpu (Great Katana Skill 150): WAR/NIN at 99 has 139 GTK Skill, and needs to make up the 11 skill difference. You can do this with a combination of merits(+16), Bushinomimi (+5), Justice Torque (+7), Kengo Hachimaki (+5) and the Fazheluo Helm (+5).
--Tachi: Koki (Great Katana Skill 175): With a base of 139 GTK skill, you need to make up the 36 skill difference. To do this, you MUST have a minimum of 7 Merits (+14), Bushinomimi (+5), Justice Torque (+7), Kengo Hachimaki (+5) and the Fazheluo Helm (+5).

So to bring the conversation back to the OP's questions and comments about dual/trio/quad boxing... While WAR/NIN can have all of the Red Procs... it can be a major pain in the *** to get the equipment to make it work. When I trio box, 99% of the time I find NIN/WAR plenty for my Red Procs. With quad boxing, simply bringing one of your other three characters as WAR shouldn't be to hard to make happen.

Exactly what I was looking for.

This is incredible information for the new player.

Thank you so much!

Kukulkan is very very easy if you have a nuke build on NIN:RDM can also do it the same way, but it's a little bit more difficult to keep shadows up/not get hit by the nasty en-poison.
If you are 4-boxing it with either of the 2 jobs it should be just as much of a joke as Briareus. You just REALLY need to be ready if you think shadows are going down to try to start curing.

I know you are just starting out and your jobs probably won't have the same gear/atmas as in the videos, but it shouldn't be really any harder, just might take a little longer.

These will definitely come in handy!

I enjoyed your narrated video. I am looking forward to a narrated version of one of your solo videos. I think it will be very insightful for a new player such as myself.
