In the pure math department, your right Havoc. You basicly get better drops with an amped up DH running AGB. With that said, i see this profile as much more detect proof, and thus a better income rate for its "lifetime". As a side-note, its much more fun getting this one to work and watching Savage and Radonic optimise it than just using oneclick-wonder-AGB. I have one of each btw Edit: Love for Giles too haha
Actually Magic Find only increases the chances of a "white" object being upgraded. It has nothing to do with affixes or legendaries or anything. The game spawns an object, then rolls to see if it gets upgraded to Magic, then rolls again to see if it gets upgraded to Rare, and then again for Legendary/Set. Increasing your magic find does lead to more rares/legendaries, only because it provides more "chances" to roll them because more objects are turned into Magic quality than before. But it does not directly increase the value or affixes of anything. It's the exact same system that they used for Diablo II, which Blizzard went on record describing.
The main reason this profile is better is that it does not look as suspicious as 10k kills on the same mob. This profile stretches out over a vast area and it does run different locations each time, since mobs moves and the bot follows it. I am certain that this profile will be the most used after Sarkoth gets fixed / the reenabled max limit on games.
getting stuck in souther highlands, keeps wanting to run west off the map don't know if this is a common problem, (using 1.5.3 btw)
I don't need to apologise, i'm not saying this profile is shit or anything, i like this profile and i'm using it instead of sarkoth runs. I'm looking forward for a act2 profile and better combat routines for DB because the 4% chance of getting ilvl63 itens on act1 just sux.
Just to update people (and because the link in the very 1st post will want updating)... I've now updated the plugins I had made for this routine and posted them in their own threads on the plugins sub-forum. Be sure to update to these new versions (delete your old versions that had different names first). The two plugins are; [Plugin] Monster Priority Changer by GilesSmith ^^ This tries to improve the intelligence of the bot on long-farm runs, by ignoring "normal" mobs under certain circumstances, prioritizing spawners like wretched mothers, and continuing to attack shielded monsters if no other monsters are present rather than run away from them. [Plugin] World Object Handler by GilesSmith ^^ This is the old "ignore stuff" plugin, reworked and improved to be a little more intelligent, and not let your bot get stuck against a log or anything.
Works Like a charm ran it 20 times now , No Stucking and 0 Deaths Setup: Arcane Monk 650 Res 40 K HP 22k Dps Dual Wield 1800 LoH Wondering tho which Loot Rules are the best for this type of run ?? Currently using Giles_yellow_ilvl61_PluginRules.xml But does that include Rare Rings ammus cuz theyre lvl 60 ?
Im working on act2 profile also. I never farm act2 myself so i dont know which areas, please post which areas you think i should make. Something you didnt calculate when you predicted your out come of rares are that when you have 5 stacks of NV you have 100% chance to get an rare, which sarkoth doesnt(unfortunately ). I usally end up with pretty much the same amount of rares from this profile and from one of my 250GF/250MF DHs farming sarkoth. Though i tend to get more legendarys from sarkoth then this profile. As i still dont see the reasoning behind your post. Because it had nothing to do with making this profile better and its not like you need help either, you just bring a over all bad atmosphere to the post and thats not appreciate.
those are the loot rules that I use, but I modified it to pick up 55+ rings and ammys instead of what it was (59 or 60)
been using this profile for 2 days now. Yesterday I would lag at certain places and would run all funky in other which would slow the run down a lot. I switched to these new plugins and the difference is amazing. Not sure if its just me or not but my runs are going way smoother.
When i get home i can take some SS's of act2. By hand i do act2 from the begining until magda, i think a profile can do all until the last elite pack before magda, avoid random areas whitout changing quest step. I posted that because i getting sux drops and i'm mad but later i thought the batter way to improve my drop rate is making the run faster, by increasing my dps and using the guille plugin to ignore some mobs, so this can be helpfull for other who have the same problem than me. Sry if i caused this bad atmosphere, was not my goal.
is there any way to include the warden in the run? i know that random dungeons aren't supported, but the exit of level 2 is at 3 different locations. i was wondering if there is a possibility to choose from these 3, i think the bot can find the way from a to b in a dungeon or is it impossible?
It's not possible atm, but it might change. Mean while we have to tune what we got! Someone who had any trouble with northern highlands yet? And whats your thoughts of doing sarkoth in the end of the run?
running flawlessly atm edit: you could add the small cellar where the goblin can spawn near the first wp to the south/west sometimes there are champs aswell don't know about sarkoth though
Sarkoth is lootwise a waste, adds realism to the run though. So dunno, can always manually remove it, but dosent really matter much to me either way, takes 1 minute to run to him.
