[Orderbot] Ephemeral Fishies ;)~

Public Version 1.04, Updated 11/26/2015

*************************READ ME*************************************
ALL END POINT FISHING HOTSPOTS WILL NEED TO BE ENTERED YOURSELF.
THE PROFILE WILL GUIDE YOU TO THE AREA TO FISH, AND YOU NEED TO ENTER THE COORDINATES OF THE SPOTS
WHERE YOU WILL FISH.

Use Notepad++ or a similar editor to open this xml file and change the line numbers indicated. To get
the coordinates of where you are standing, simply open Profile Creator (Big Button on the right side
of RB) and look in the top right area at the coordinates and enter X, Y, Z and heading (R) into the
profile. It will look like this when you are done:

<FishSpot xyz="441.9, -23.7, -61.9" heading="1.76" />
***This is your ^^^X _^^^Y_^^^Z _______^^^^R from profile creator.

The profile Tour Guide will notify you what to change when you run it the first time as well if you are new to editing code. Look for cyan ****** text ****** in your Rebornbuddy log when you arrive to fish. Open the profile in Notepad++, make the changes, save, reload, good to go.

The line numbers you need to edit or comment out are specifically noted when the profile is run(shows in your RB log). They are easy to find in the code as well.Let the profile run, stop it when Tour Guide tells you to make changes, make the changes, save, then reload and run. Alternately, if you know what you are doing with coordinates you can make the changes for each location in advance. Be sure to remove or comment out the "Moveto" lines that precede each Tour Guide line when you make the changes.

>>>NOTE<<< If you delete the lines instead of commenting them out, you will need to find them without using the provided line numbers.

Happy Ephemeral Fishing.

WHAT FILES DO I NEED TO MAKE THIS WORK?
Notepad++ (or another text editor)
OrderBotTags from ExMatt, get all of it, it's all good.
NPCRepair.cs
Skywatcher plugin from ExMatt

WHAT BAITS DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
Giant Crane Flys OR Red Balloons (Both get restocked automatically) (If you don't have these, but have blue scripts, the profile will buy them for you.)
Brute Leech, Goblin Jigs or Stonefly Nymph (I don't recommend the Stonefly Nymph, but you can use it if you really want to) Profile buys Brute Leech, you provide the alternative baits if you want.
Bladed Steel Jig (Provide your own, bring extras)

WOW, OK, WHAT ELSE?
You will gain blue gatherer's scripts a little at a time, making more than you spend on bait. Profile will now automatically
buy tokens with the extras so you don't cap. Only the Illuminati Perch are turned in to purchase baits(Giant Crane Fly and Brute Leech).
You need a little gil for repairs.

SCREW THIS! THAT'S A LOT OF #$%^ TO DO MAN, BE COOL AND GIVE ME YOUR COPY!
No. You probably stood on me when I was fishing last release. That's pretty rude. I want to look at my own hot ass, not yours. But seriously, it's better for all of us if you have your own unique fishing spots.

FINE! WHAT DOES THIS EVEN DO FOR ME?
This profile will run for days(I've done it) if you start with an almost empty inventory. Depending on your server's economy that's a lot of gil from sands, crystals and clusters. If you have CUL desynth, even more crystals, gold pieces, and materia IVs.
Automatic aetherial reduction and culinary desynth on selected fish(see configuration below) should keep your inventory pretty much under control for a LONG time if you start nearly empty.
The entity Fishie_Id contains a list of ID numbers of fish to automatically use desynthesis on. You need CUL desynth at a high enough level to be able to use this feature. If you don't have the required desynth level, set DesynthEnable to "0".

[HR][/HR]

I probably forgot something. I usually do. That being said, I've tested this all afternoon and evening. When you first start, depending on the time of day, it may repair first thing in Sea of Clouds. This is intentional as I forget to repair when I'm fishing other places.
I hope you guys enjoy this profile as much as I do. After you set your own personal hotspots you will have a profile that is quite solid.

View attachment [MyEphemeralFishiesPublicV1.04.xml Vendor/repair hovering issue has been resolved. Needed plugins will be enabled by default to avoid common issues associated with not having plugins enabled. Whilom catfish will now be desynthed to conserve inventory space. No other outstanding issues currently.

View attachment Reduce and Desynth my Fishies.xml A small file for when you are done fishing and just want to simply reduce and desynth the same fish you would if the profile were running. You can enable/disable either function, and set a separate list or use the same list as the main profile. This has Illuminati Perch on the list by default. Don't have collectible Illuminati Perch in your inventory

 

Oooh nice, thanks a lot =)

 

Does it need all Folklore books?

 

It's Pteranodon, Caiman, and Illuminati Perch, no books required if I remember correctly.

 

I know this profile is provided as-is, but a quick suggestion: Brute Leech is more expensive than Goblin Jigs as it's a blue scrip bait vs a crafted lure, but it's way more effective in catching Illuminati Perch. I edited it for myself to use Brute Leech.

Otherwise, runs well, no complaints here! With this and the BTN/MIN ephemerals I can work the Aethersand trifecta!

 

Good suggestion about the Brute Leech

If anyone wants to implement that, just change the following code around line 166:

Code:

<Baits>
          			<Bait name="Goblin Jig" condition="Core.Player.ClassLevel &gt; 57 and HasAtLeast(12706,1)"/>
					<Bait name="Stonefly Nymph"/>
				</Baits>

change it to:

Code:

<Baits>
          			<Bait name="[B]Brute Leech[/B]" condition="Core.Player.ClassLevel &gt; 57 and HasAtLeast([B]12711[/B],1)"/>
                                        [B]<Bait name="Goblin Jig"/>[/B]
					<Bait name="Stonefly Nymph"/>
				</Baits>

I'd be interested to see if the blue scrips keeps up with purchasing both Giant Crane Fly and also Brute Leech. If so, it wouldn't be hard to add in code to purchase the Brute Leech bait automatically as well.

Would just need to add in this around line 37:

Code:

<!ENTITY ShopPurchase2 "BruteLeech">
			<!ENTITY ShopPurchase2_Count "99">

and then this around line 150:

Code:

<ShopPurchases>
                                                        [B]<ShopPurchase shopItem="&ShopPurchase2;" maxCount="&ShopPurchase2_Count;"/>[/B]
							<ShopPurchase shopItem="&ShopPurchase3;" maxCount="&ShopPurchase3_Count;"/>
					</ShopPurchases>  

 

Unautomated, if you're buying both baits it's 120 blue scrips per 50 each. That's three Illuminati Perch; in ten minutes you can maybe catch 12-15 of them since Brute Leech gets them at about 45% while Goblin Jig is 28% (plus mooches). I haven't tested it out yet, but your blue scrip upkeep should be way more than enough to purchase both baits and tokens.

 

ExMatt added tug types to his fishing set, I added this to the profile (copied from ExMatt's illuminati perch example profile)

Code:

				<Collectable name="Illuminati Perch" value="826" />
				</Collectables>	
[B]			        <PatienceTugs>
				        <PatienceTug moochLevel="0" TugType="Light" />
					<PatienceTug moochLevel="0" TugType="Medium" />
					<PatienceTug moochLevel="1" TugType="Medium" />
				</PatienceTugs> [/B]
				<Keepers>
					<Keeper name="Illuminati Perch"/>
					<Keeper name="Sweetfish"/>
					<Keeper name="Hinterlands Perch"/>
				</Keepers>

Also, thanks for your work!

 

Nice add in I love it when a profile evolves.

I'll update OP after I test it to make sure the changes all play well together and grab the new tag.

 

This looks amazing.... i can't wait to get some water clusters at the very least.

Note:

You shouldn't need the HasAtLeast part of your bait conditions, it checks that on my end

Actually it checks level now too.

Code:

			if (BaitItem == null || BaitItem.ItemCount() == 0)
			{
				return false;
			}

			if (Core.Player.ClassLevel < BaitItem.RequiredLevel)
			{
				return false;
			}

			return conditionFunc();

 

So, I've tried both patience and chum, and I'm not really seeing any noticeable difference in collectability values, which isn't really a big deal, but it does mean that water clusters is pretty rare in comparison to everything else.. Anyone have any better results with the other ephemeral fish maybe?

 

When it comes to collectability values, you are only going to get what you get, patience affects HQ rate, and chum affects speed of catch, everything else is totally random.

 

fair enough, I didn't think so either, the thread post just suggested it, so I was messing with both to see the difference

 

The fishing window for caiman is a lot shorter than pteranadon, so you end up getting a lot more ice clusters in the end.

 

You might be on the wrong forum complaining on this one! =).

Or maybe they thought since there is a 5am mining node in Thanalan with water.... balance!

 

So uh bladed steel jigs are going for 11k on my server and goblin jigs 2k each. Is that ridiculous or am I missing something?

 

It's a market? I sell a few bladed here and there if the market is empty'ish for between 25-50k.. Never bothered with goblin jigs.. Not sure what you're implying though.. I mean if you think the prices on your server are off, you could always check the prices on the materials it takes to make the two, and figure out stuff.. For someone trying to make rl money doing this, you're not really putting in a lot of research time are you XD

 

Oh I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, I don't mind either way. B)

Also, jigs last quite awhile. Just buy the mats and craft them yourself or have a crafter buddy do it.

 

NICE. I'll take a look at that tonight when I get home. Thanks for the info.

Also, just saw your latest update... desynth and reduction? Just...wow. I won't have to use my keyboard macros anymore

 

Hmm. I had a lot of coincidences, or didn't pay enough attention probably. It seemed I got lower values for reduction using chum over patience. Like mining, we want 2/8 or 3/8 for the most clusters if I remember correctly. More than that and we get sands instead of clusters. I could be totally off base on this line of thinking, but that was my hypothesis when I wrote the comments.

Are you saying higher HQ chance has no correlation to collectible quality? It seemed like if I had an HQ fish it would be higher collectible value, thereby being higher on the reduction value. Again, just a hypothesis and coincidence possibly. Data set too small.

Yep. The other water cluster fish are a PITA to get to and catch. Small windows, weather, etc. I wanted a reliable source of water clusters that I could hit the switch on any time.
