[N - Rep] Escape from Durnholde Endless Farm (Keepers of Time rep)

Version 1.2 (April 9, 2012)

Bot to Use: QUESTING
Location: Escape from Durnholde, Caverns of Time (Tanaris)
Rep gained: Keepers of Time (~1000 rep per run on Heroic)
Repair: YES
Mailbox: No
Quests: No
AFK: 100%

No special plugin required! Start this INSIDE the instance (preferably on Heroic mode).

This profile will farm the first portion of Escape from Durnholde over and over again until you stop the bot, so that you can get rep with Keepers of Time. It will clear out static mobs in the Keep and down in the prisoner cabins, then exit and reset the instance. It PURPOSELY will not blow up barrels and kill Drake so that you can chain-farm the trash on Heroic mode (15 vs. 8 rep/kill) over and over. My tests averaged about 70 kills, which is about 1000 rep before bonuses (560 rep on Normal mode). It will NOT change the dungeon difficulty, so be sure to set it correctly the first time (Heroic, unless you're locked out of it for today). This profile will check after each run to see if you need repairs, and if so it will fly to the repair vendor outside the instance before the next run to vendor/repair.

I recommend running this with loot set to Off to speed up the rep gain.

If you find any Blackspots, please let me know so I can add them to the profile. And let me know if you are clearing it too fast and hitting the "You have entered too many instances" message. I can manually add delays to avoid that if necessary.

Known issues:
None so far; please test!

Change Log

• v1.1 - Tweaked portal coords, improved moving down the staircase at the cabins to prevent stucks.
• v1.2 - Tweaked portal coords and staircase logic with Wierd's additions to improve reliability (Thanks Wierd!)
• v1.3 - Fixed repair check so now it only repairs if any gear is less than 30% durability

Code:

<If Condition="(Me.FreeBagSlots &lt; 4) || (Me.LowestDurabilityPercent &lt; 3.0)

Might want to change 3.0 to 0.3 or less. Well...unless you want to run to vendor everytime

Other than that good job

 

Thank you for catching that! It was a cold medicine coding for me... -_-

I updated the profile here.

after closing Firefox and revisiting this post, i was able to download.
Thanks for sharing

 

Try again. You tried to d/l it the very second I replaced it with a new version.

 

Nice work Zikke - I've been looking for a KoT profile and will try this out tonight!

 

Trying it out tonight! Thanks +rep

 

Very nice! I'm currently using it to grind Undercity rep. I'm experiencing two issues:

- It likes to get stuck just above the stairs east of the entrance bridge. I'm not sure what's going on, but I imagine a couple carefully-placed waypoints would fix it in short order.
- It attempts to reset the instance before exiting the instance. This obviously fails, and when it does exit and re-enter everything's already dead.

Thanks!

 

I just experienced the same issue. Will keep an eye on it. Otherwise great stuff Zikke as usual.

 

Ah, they all take a bit of tweaking. That's what the testing is for, so thank you! I will adjust the portal coords and that should fix that issue.

Regarding getting stuck on the stairs, does it get stuck going up the stairs or down them? On the "going up them" part at the end, I used special waypoints and the "myCTM" command because there is a mesh issue there. But I didn't do that for going down the stairs, which I can add.

 

Just on the way down. Sorry I didn't clarify.

 

I just uploaded a new version (1.1) with new portal coords (inside and outside) and also new navigation logic for moving down the staircase near the cabins.

 

Is this soloable ?

 

The mobs in it are level 65 on Regular and 70 on Heroic. Any level 80+ should have no problem with it.

 

Still having issues with the stairs down to the cabins so i tweaked it a little.

Remove these 2 lines from just Above the CustomBehaviour Forced Dismount Tag

Code:

<RunTo X="2119.129" Y="91.74796" Z="52.44773" />
<RunTo X="2142.084" Y="73.95625" Z="65.46286" />

And add this in its place

Code:

<RunTo X="2161.392" Y="85.853" Z="67.61457" />

it runs a little wide to get to the top of the stairs but it does work for me.

Only issue i cant seem to get to work is after it resets it wont zone in, it needs another step forward.

other than that great Profile.

*EDIT*
think i fixed the zoning in coords try this one

Code:

                <CustomBehavior File="MyCTM" X="-8330.519" Y="-4056.648" Z="-208.0898"  /> <!-- moves into instance portal if not already inside -->

 

Had a lot of trouble with rezoning in 1.0 and issues with stairs down to cabins with 1.1 but the above tweaks seem to be working well, thanks for this profile Zikke you made the BC rep grind so easy.

 

Nice - thought you wouldn't release this..

 

Great profile there Zikke, thank you.

Thank you for those changes aswell wierd, works excellent now.

 

I uploaded a new version (1.2) with Wierd's additions. Thank you for testing!

 

I actually wasn't going to if I had to code the whole instance, which is a pain with the escorting and the pausing at different areas, but then I realized I was overthinking it and just cleared trash, which is easy and reliable, and allows Heroic-mode farming.
