      testing this with my DH, on the original he sometimes got stuck at lots of places. Tried lots of ranges 30,40,50,60 etc ... nothing helped, every ~10-15 runs somewhere standing around and watching the sunrise :< ... lots of babysitting was required.

      p.s. IMPORTANT / Request: if youre dying at this, hes stuck at beginning for me .. ofc the creator cannot test that cuz hes playin HC ;P but if some1 else could fix or test this, would be gr8 !

      Try the last XML I uploaded, keep looting off, and for double-measure set loot-range to 0 in the settings tab in DB. I use a kill-range of 25 - and it has worked with every class so far. I am also using the latest "test" version of DemonBuddy, and am using Belphegor's CC (which is updated in the latest test version of DB). I can't think of anything else that would make your bot be getting stuck at the beginning and not mine. Do you mean stuck as in not doing anything, or getting to a certain point and then never moving (eg the start of the bridge), or what?

      Just a thought - vecuk - do you have "Evasive Fire" enabled? I do know that the newest test DB really struggles if you get knocked back by anything (eg knock-back elites, or evasive fire making you jump back). If you do, then replace that skill with something else (try and avoid your character "jumping around" much). You could also edit the XML, and alter all the path-precision entries to be "pathPrecision="15"", except the last three (WP_022, WP_023, WP_024) which are best left at 2 to help ensure quest completions.

      I dld the version you uploaded today at 02:xx. And yeah i noticed yesterday that all shots where i jump around etc. are bad cuz then i get out of wp range etc. so i deactivated all of those.

      The problem i mean is, when my character is dying, happens maybe in 1 of 50 runs but if it happens, then he respawns and just stands around at the beginning of the route, well at the checkpoint where you revive after death.

      Ah yes, support for handling dying and restarting has only just been added to the latest DB, and this profile doesn't do anything special in those instances - it would need to restart the profile when you die (otherwise the path-finding is trying to reach the last spot you died near, even though you respawned at the start of the map - and that confuses the path-finding too much). I haven't looked at adding in any profile-abilities to restart the profile on death, but there may be a plugin that does this for the newest DB, have a look around the plugins sub-forum and see if there's anything that will do that! I've never died on this routine (from 12-20 normal, from 35-42 nightmare) - always geared up on AH first (searched for gear <10k, with vitality & prime-stat, and highest DPS weapons) and never had a problem!

      yeah youre right, i also geared up a bit on ah, but didnt watch enough on vitality and had mostly problems with the CC but now i found out good setup for DH and working nice.

      Till which lvl u use this ? lvl 20 ? and then what profile you use till 35 for doing this again on nightmare ? because i like this profile very much now its really fast if you turn looting off like you said and works really smooth !! :)

      Here's a post I just put up with my levelling/grinding "guide" with the bot in another thread:

      http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/56026-questing-bugged.html#post568463

      Slowly working on getting all 5 character classes on a new account to 60 with nothing but bot :D

      It seems every release of DB gets fussier and fussier with path-finding - and this route, highlands passage, is basically one long narrow corridor with bends and stairs in, which the DB path-finding struggles with more than you'd expect. Obviously the DB nav-server also seems to be crashing/going down now and then which I CAN'T account for with the profile... but I've re-wrote most of the waypoints again and added many more waypoints particularly around every slope and staircase, and added a little extra "fuzz allowance" too.

      So here's the latest version, normal difficulty again, just edit the XML in notepad to change it to Nightmare or Hell if you like or to enable looting. Normal will level you from 12-20 (or 21/22 if you want, though it gets very slow). Nightmare will level you from 35-40 (or 41/42, but again they get slow). Not sure what levels Hell will cover yet. I wonder if I should just put this in a new thread really, since I've changed most of it and people shouldn't really download the version on the 1st page anymore :p

      Quest 9,Imprisoned Angel,The Cursed Hold - Find exit to Highlands Passage, as soon you get to the bridge check point should appear.

      This is a great profile, I really like using it. Is there a way though if your toon dies to make DB restart the profile. Like others I find when my DH dies I have to stop and re-start manually and it's not much fun..

      Thanks for a great, simple leveling profile. I have had no issues with this leveling from 10-20. It's refreshing to come back to my comp after 30 minutes and have it running still instead of sitting in town or somewhere afk.

      1-12: Queen profile (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...ofiles/54316-act1-lvl-2-14-queen-running.html)
      - @ level 12, gear up on AH with level 12 stuff - go for prime stat as high as you can with some vitality, highest DPS 1-handed weapon (or 2 handed for demon-hunter as can still quiver with 2-hander), limit of 2k gold per item is fine at this stage -

      12-20: Highland Passage (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...s/54665-act1-lvl-12-18-highlands-passage.html)
      - @ level 20, gear up on AH again with level 20 stuff (I got some level 21 stuff too and kept level 12 stuff in a few slots til I hit 21 to put them on) - vitality is more important now, so go for highest prime stat with good vitality and a high DPS again, limit of 10k-15k per item more than enough -

      20-35: Core of Arreat, if set to normal (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...lly-afk-working-core-arreat-a3-nightmare.html)
      - @ level 35, gear up on AH again with level 35 stuff - always the same, highest prime stat with good vitality, and highest DPS available - a limit of 15-20k gold per item is more than enough -

      35-42: Highland Passage (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...s/54665-act1-lvl-12-18-highlands-passage.html) on nightmare mode
      - @ level 42, gear up on AH again - 20k per item should still be plenty

      42-50+??: Core of Arreat, now on nightmare mode (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...lly-afk-working-core-arreat-a3-nightmare.html)
      (I suspect Core of Arreat on nightmare MAY take you to 55, but might involve doing Highland passage on hell-mode for some levels, I didn't use DH above about level 48 or so)

      I wouldn't use that profile before level 50, and at that point it's better to run Queen in Hell mode.

      It seems they removed the checkpoint from here or some other kind of funky thing with checkpoints. Anyone else running into this issue?
