[Mining] w00ts Full Cobalt - Zul'Drak+Grizzly Hills

-w00ts -
FULL Cobalt
A GatherBuddy Profile for farming Cobalt ore in Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills
-----------------------------------------------
Update Oct 6 2010
Big Update. I went through and edited the profile piece by piece while in game. It should now mine TWICE as fast considering I took away about HALF of the height through the entire route. Some area's it was getting as high as 600 z axis. Those areas were dropped down into the 200s!

Update July 28 2011
I updated this profile to work with GB2. You can find the new profile here.
-----------------------------------------------

This profile will cover every mining node location in Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills. This profile is for farming cobalt ore, and you will also get some saronite along the way as there are a few nodes here and there.
​

This is a very long run. I have posted a picture of the exact route it will take.
​

I run this on a 2.5k gs DK and I rarely ever die and have never been stuck(that Ive seen). Ive got about 40-50 hours put into this profile. So if you see any problems, please give give me the coords and tell me what exact it was doing and what it was stuck on so I can fix it.
​

We profile/plugin/cc creators do not get paid to do what we do. We do it because we enjoy doing it and we like supporting this community. If you want to pay us back, you know how you can do it.

31 nodes in 1 hour.. it seems a bad result..very bad (((

 

Yea, that seems strange. Must have a slow mount or something. Here is my report. Forgot servers go down or I would have had a full 8 hour run.

[7:15:41 AM:236]: Cobalt Deposit: 115
[7:15:41 AM:332]: Saronite Deposit: 5
[7:15:41 AM:436]: Rich Cobalt Deposit: 9
[7:15:41 AM:533]: 129 nodes gathered in 2 hours 7 minutes 18 seconds.

 

Or maybe someone is out farming. Some days I can gather a few hundred ores in few hours, other days I get only a few stacks...... so it may not be the profile, but competition from other miners....

And that is why profiles should be paid! LOL I know for a fact that there are at least 9 other people between horde and alliance that are using the stormpeaks profile farming herbs and it is really getting old. I would gladly pay for profiles and I hope that more profile makers consider this as cataclysm hits. I do not want to have to fight some retard that knows nothing of how to play the market just tank the prices of everything so that nobody makes any money.

 

Was on a 280% mount so that wasn't the issue. I guess there must have been others in the zones at the time, does seem a little low on reflection. Have to say the profile worked well though, no problems except my low count (ore lol)

 

Beefcake all your herbs belong to me!

and I'm all up for paying for profiles.

Morga

 

WHA? Oh so you are the person spamming trade "WTS Lichbloom FREE PST" ???

LOL I will have to watch out for you Morga!

 

trying now will post soon

 

Finally got to run it for more than 2 hours. Turned out pretty damn good.

Thanks w00ts!

I will try it in a few days!

 

My toon keeps trying to mine stuff under water can anyone help me with this problem

 

Same issue with this profile, getting stuck same water every time

 

Give me the location so I can add it to a badnodes. Ive been running this profile for abou 14 hours today and havnt gotten stuck once, so I dont know which area you all are talkikng about.

 

Here is one of the spots where i was this morning

 

Ya I woke up this morning to see that the bot was just swimming in water in the same spot after gathering around 60 deposits.

 

Maneuvering towards Cobalt Deposit: ( 4128.13, -3959.53, 160.662 )

This is the cord for that cobalt that gets you stuck in water.

 

I guess that node is just never there when I am running it. Ive been running the grizzly hill profile nonstop trying to find that node location coords. Try adding

<bad_location><name>Cobalt Deposit</name><waypoint>4128.13 -3959.53 160.662</waypoint><comment>Underground</comment></bad_location>

to your badnodes.xml

Sorry for the issue

------

-edit-

I went ahead and changed all the hotspots in that area. When coming towards that part of the map, it should continue straight over that giant ass broken tree thing, and once it gets past the little pond itll head East. Hope it fixes any issues.

Please let me know if there are any other water spots that have issues. I am running this profile non stop trying to find any problems, but if they happen, I dont see them.

 

Eh sorry for the newb question but how do I load this into GB?
