While checkpoints are in theory a good idea, in practice not so much. I would remove the check-points completely. But thats just how I would do it.
I am going to be hopefully finishing up with level 20-40 in the next few days. I just may remove a couple of the checkpoints. I know I must have a few checkpoints due to the <Runto X="" Y="" Z="" /> The first Runto which is explore fargodeep mine I had to try and remedy by grinding before and after it with a Checklevel at the the end of the final grind. Or when ever you started the profile it would do the <Runto X="" Y="" Z="" /> first.

Doing "Protect the Frontier", running past the bundles of wood for "A bundle of trouble", just guess that the way HB does it
While doing the quest "Riverpaw Gnoll Bounty" my character ran from where it was, right near Hogger, to Stone Cairn Lake, because there were more Gnolls there to get the quest item, is there a way to make HB stay near Hogger to complete that quest ? G
Yes, I will change that with a questoveride and hotspots. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Code: <Quest Id="11" Name="Riverpaw Gnoll Bounty"> <Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="782" CollectCount="8"> <Hotspots> <Hotspot X="-9780.446" Y="635.1569" Z="35.15413" /> <Hotspot X="-9819.123" Y="606.5964" Z="41.66023" /> <Hotspot X="-9836.355" Y="562.3217" Z="38.99374" /> <Hotspot X="-9885.78" Y="572.8737" Z="37.37601" /> <Hotspot X="-9903.907" Y="625.3672" Z="40.20579" /> <Hotspot X="-9941.146" Y="666.6293" Z="32.87022" /> <Hotspot X="-9997.52" Y="614.3365" Z="39.0306" /> <Hotspot X="-10020.5" Y="583.9022" Z="37.18447" /> <Hotspot X="-10053.65" Y="552.5541" Z="32.36492" /> <Hotspot X="-10100.38" Y="545.1695" Z="25.61214" /> </Hotspots> </Objective> </Quest> Quest Override Has been added. It will stay in the proper area now. Will change the download later after my nap. Also will add up to level 26. Just worked a hellish third shift. Up all night. Falling asleep writing this.
Hi, I started up a new Paladin, and HB 1.9.5.9 to test. Just turned lvl 12, all done with this profile. Have let it run mostly with me not present. Overall, it has worked very nice so far ! Good work. This is what I have noticed: *The quest for Bernice necklace, where you shall kill Goldtooth in Fargodeep mine - my paladin had serious problems with this, mostly wanting to be outside. I had to manually run up to Goldtooth. I would take that quest off the profile. *Sometime after fargodeep mine, HB says "turning in discover rolfs fate", but the paladin for some reason wandered through jerods landing, died over and over again. Recommend blacklisting jerods landing if possible at that point in the profile. *Also had problems with turning in quest "discover rolfs fate", due to the many murlocs of similar level as me. Died many times. Too many mobs. Have now lowered pull distance from 30 to 25, dont know if that will help. Eventually the paladin overcame the mobs before I made that change. *And right very now - the profile terminates at the point "Goal: Grind to level 12". So it will not continue on its own: Goal: Grind to level 12 Could not find quest with ID 52! (Or could I: False) Could not create a performable quest objective for objective with ID 118! Could not create current in quest bot! From what I can determine my paladin doesnt want to turn in any of the completed quests under the heading: <Grindto Level="12" /> but instead bugs out at <!-- Quest Kill Link= http://www.wowhead.com/quest=52 --> (Protect the frontier) a quest you most often get when you turn in a quest that is listed beneath <Grindto Level="12" /> in the profile to Guard Thomas. Perhaps the order of things in the profile isnt entirely correct, or it needs to be directed more tightly ? I'll let my paladin rest at this point if theres anything different to do to the profile so we can see if the changes help. I suppose I could pick up the quest "protect the frontier" manually, but that would defeat the purpose of the profile i think. Thanks for all the work so far ! Looking forward to the continuation.
I am going to hold off on the next part of this release. Going to review the issue's you have mentioned. Start with some fresh new toons and put some time into this.. Plan on pulling an all nighter to get this 100% flawless !!
Thank you for the time you are putting into this, Maria! I am going to create a character and let it run using this profile and will report back later. +rep
Huge Changes. Almost entire new questing order.. Rearranged 40% of the quests. Added a ton of safety net blackspots. Blackspots to force HB to use my path instead of defaults. Running much smoother at lvl 13 on current mage testing. Level 20 I will Release the updated version. Its so much better, more cautious than before.
-UPDATED - Its Still running on the mage test character. So far its lvl 15 without problems.. profile is still subject to changes.. Only trouble I see is if you stop HB between level 13 and 14 it will do the Runto over again which is for Explore Jasperlode Mine. Try to avoid stopping profile between these levels. If you must stop it and have already done the runto I suggest temp disabling the runto Like So Change this <Runto X="-9099.729" Y="-566.0981" Z="61.18112" /> To This <!-- <Runto X="-9099.729" Y="-566.0981" Z="61.18112" /> --> File Save As Save as .xml Load Profile in HB again Even at level 14 The murloc are still a pain !! For the 2 quests over there. Discover Rolf's Fate and Bounty on Murlocs. You may get a triple pull. You May die a few times on these 2 quests. You can't really blackspot because you need to kill them for Bounty on Murlocs.
Any idea on when the new version comes out? I am intrested in doing what I can to help if I don't have "hb" problems that affect profiles. I had the quest in my book still per your posts above, however that wasn't the issue. I had to re-do HB and it worked fine after that. But a newer version would be amazing!
The newer version is the current download. I've only got a chance to test and proof over lvl 1-16 Gotta Proof over 16 - 22 and there may be changes. Lvl 16-22 Is there and should work fine. I just wanna take another look at it for improvments.
The changes made sound great ! To help you with this very interesting profile, as I stopped earlier at lvl 12 with my paladin, do you think I should restart with a new lvl 1 paladin or just hop on your new version with my lvl 12 ? Perhaps this new version of the profile isnt compatible with the old one so to speak ? I am thinking of running the profile again tomorrow evening (thursday).
Because I don't use subprofiles and I only use two checklevel. This profile will always start at the last quest it didn't do. So no matter your level or when you starting this profile. It will be sure all the quests are done !! If you hand leveled a character and skipped any quests it will run and pick up the quest you skipped and do it. It will skip any quests you have already done. I just started it on a level 22 warlock I had and first thing it ran to do a few quests in the 14-18 range that i had never done and then it ran back and picked up where it belonged. If you want to run this on a higher level character just to do the quests you can also. Just remove the 2 checklevel after the Grind to 12 and grind to 14. I have to use them 2 checklevels only due to the damb runto. (Not sure if this will work but thinking about trying a use item to avoid the need of the runto. Will need to do more research and look into this. Maybe like Use item Shiny Red Apple at the location needed for the runto. Just need something all toons should have by then ) Wish I didn't need the runto or a fix could be made, but its for explore jasperlode mine. I found a way to do away with the explore fargodeep mine runto. I also just finished testing this profile to lvl 22. On a mage and rogue. Works just perfect !! I changed around a few more things and added more blackspots to level 16-22. I changed the location of the 20-22 grind and added blackspots to keep it from wondering into the lvl 24 wolves. The Grind from level 20-22 is the spiders and wolves on the north west bank of duskwood along the water. Your first pass on melee characters is a little ruff you may get 2 to 3 targets. So expect to die a few times. After that first pass it should be cake. I am trying my best to get this to be a one click 1-60 profile that any and all classes can do. - New profile has been uploaded -
Have continued with the new profile, starting at lvl 12. Is now lvl 19. Have a questing question at this stage. For example my paladin says "goal: grind to level 20" even though it still hasnt done parts for for example "The people's milita". This objective has only been partially done: <Objective QuestName="The People's Militia" QuestId="13" Type="KillMob" MobId="589" KillCount="15" /> <Objective QuestName="The People's Militia" QuestId="13" Type="KillMob" MobId="590" KillCount="15" /> So I went and grinded those mobs manually, and then started the bot again. And it still said "goal: grind to level 20". Then I turned that quest in manually, but the bot still says the same. Then I looked into the profile, and perhaps we are intended to grind to level 20 before beginning on for example the above quest ? I'd suggest starting doing that quest a bit sooner than level 20. Same comment on these: <TurnIn QuestName="The Defias Brotherhood" QuestId="135" TurnInName="Master Mathias Shaw" TurnInId="332" /> <Pickup QuestName="The Defias Brotherhood" QuestId="141" GiverName="Master Mathias Shaw" GiverId="332" /> <TurnIn QuestName="The Defias Brotherhood" QuestId="141" TurnInName="Gryan Stoutmantle" TurnInId="234" /> <Pickup QuestName="The Everstill Bridge" QuestId="142" GiverName="Gryan Stoutmantle" GiverId="234" /> I'd suggest doing these on the way to level 20, not after. But perhaps as it is now is in order to do it in a safer way. Overall - Nice work.
Ya, I had to do that quest later in the profile due to the Defias mobs hanging all to close together. Rogue's were getting it handed to them in testing. It did parts of that quest due to the running around required to do the other quests you end up killing some of the defias guys for the quest objective. Also Casters were having a problem. It would kill a target then run in to loot and pull multiple targets.
I had my bot running well, im level 14 now when im at west fall flightpath lumber mill my bot wont fly to stormwind it will just click the flightmaster npc over and over all night in the log it says "continue to stormwind" and click npc to interact it just interacts with him over and over and never takes flightpath. also since im night elf ill need to remove some lines of quests in this profile to run it due to human only quests i cannot pickup or?
Tested on a trial account made 10 lvl 20 toons in about2 19 hours total botting. works great. Do you need help making it 1-60? I would be more than glad to help speed it up in my free time not working on my plugin.
Anyone wanting to help can feel free to do so. I don't mind it at all. This weekend I have done nothing due to av weekend. I don't have another HB so mine is tied up trying to level some toons this weekend. Beside that I got a pretty full plate with work and my 19 month old daughter. Just shoot me a msg. Lord you can do away with the contiue to stormwind if your having troubles with that. <!-- Before and after -->
