Straholme Mount Farming Profile

This isn't completely automated. It will require you to open the two gates leading into the gauntlet. From there you can start the profile and it will clear the ziggs and head to Baron's room. It's not nearly as quick as doing it manually but it is something you can set and come back 15-20min later and see what you got. For some reason sometimes it does the ziggs in a random order which I haven't quite figured out yet. You will also need some sort of addon that loots BoP items as the bosses drop them and if you don't have it, it will probably get stuck looting.

Please feel free to give any constructive criticism.

*edit* Updated to avoid the boss with the key so you don't get stuck looting.

 

Maybe because you have random hotspots set?

 

Random hotspots are set to false. I almost think it has something to do with pull distance and possibly it gets closer to a hotspot and jumps to it?

 

I've been having a problem with the bot getting stuck trying to loot Barthilas over and over - since he always drops the Key to the City and it's unique, the bot will keep going for him. What's worse is that it will do that after the gate closes again, and just get stuck running against the gate. Adding two things seemed to fix that problem.

<AvoidMob Name="Magistrate Barthilas" Entry="10435" />
and
<Blackspot X="4053.833" Y="-3525.104" Z="121.9191" Radius="11.96724" />

The blackspot is just a good sized circle around where he's standing, it doesn't interfere with the actual route, it just should keep the bot from aggroing him by walking too close. I've only run it a couple of times since making the changes since the auth server is down, but it seemed to fix it.

 

Good idea, I didn't even think about it trying to loot the key over and over as it had just skipped the boss on my test runs.

 

Addon: "Passloot" is your friend.

 

everytime i run this it always misses the nek Zigg any idea why?

 

Well done ! A run through Strateholme usually provides me with 220 - 480 Gold, depending on prices for blue items in the Auction House. Using this profile is way slower (since, no matter what CC one uses, the bot is no good at using area spells), but still a nice way to get some gold. Also no one will care about bottish behaviour in an instance....

Thanks for sharing ! I hope there will be more like this

 

anyone else using this profile? i'm having issues with it clearing all the bosses. Seems to skip spider boss and it then just sits at the gate that won't open because boss and his little room isn't clear. if anyone has a suggestion please let me know. also having problems with bop items, even using the plugin interact which does open gates.

 

Missing Nerub'enkan for me too, obviously can't finish boss run.

Takes about 25-30 mins to get to the gates from when the 45min baron timer starts, probably 40 mins to run whole thing.

What is the trigger for the gates to open for the boss area, first time I ran this I completed the whole instance and the get was open, second time I came in by the service entrance (not sure if that makes a difference or not) and now the gates are shut. EDIT: Kill all acolytes in Ziggs to open gates, since it isn't killing spider boss the gates won't open.

you spelt Stratholme wrong in the tiles, took me ages to find this thread

Silence is deafening

 

Interact plugin works OK with this, there is some running at the gates and eventually it will open the gates though if you have the key.

Ran this by hand last night, 15 mins from start to finish using my paly with auotfight on and loot off, definately easier by hand, but you have to be there. I might just fix the profile up so it runs from start to finish, but I'd have to read how to make one again

I ran this as a hunter and problem i found it couldn't target the mobs in the ziggs, I changed my pull range to 10 and seemed to go in and kill mobs ok, I did redo the hotspots but last time I tried it was before the server went down for latest patch

 

Not sure where markfo gets 200-400g from either, all the good drops are BOP, lucky to get 100g after 2 runs. The mount is the only good thing about this farming, not much else. 6 runs and no drops, guys in my guild have done 300 with no success, guess I have a way to go

I am sure I could of blown through the mobs quicker before the patch with my ret paly, I just hate playing him now.

If you're wanting to hand farm solely for the mount, you can avoid most mobs and just do the zig. and do a run in about 8 min

 

whats the zig?

 

The 3 buildings you have to go in and kill the cultists to open the gate

 

Is there even a way to make a profile inside new stratholme? I tried making one with 2 simple hotspots and it wont move... tried this one as well and doesnt move. Any thoughts?

 

Well, why would you farm strat nowadays ?

 

i had to set the max level to 90 because before he sad this profile didn't fit to your character
