What is the property in the XML to prevent it from waiting on GP, or does that not exist?

Also, ExMatt, you said the flight stuff is going to be on the back burner. What would you like us to do if we find potential bugs with it now?

 

Try to move hotspots or add in MoveTo or FlightPathTo to compensate... feel free to send the problem areas to me, from xyz, to xyz is enough info.

Edit: the xml... umm currently its only a property of the rotation itself. I need to rethink/rework a small part of that logic.

 

EXMatt the SVN path of the orderbottags changed, on purpose? (shall I a switch the checkout path)

 

Yes, on purpose, I had to do some major refactoring, reduced my projects into a single project, and at the same time, allowed me to reorganize my code.

 

Alrighty, so all files are now in ...../ExBuddy/OrderBotTags
?

 

No, they are in ExBuddy.

Edit: If you aren't using source control to get the files, you will need to remove the old files completely or you will have duplicates.

 

Put Exbuddy in Plugins folder.

 

Gotcha, will switch the subversion tree then, thanks.

 

Has anybody had much success using y2krazy's churning mist profiles for gathering ephemerals? Was thinking of using it to get me some aethersands. It uses the DefaultCollect rotation and I'm just wondering if that's the best one to gather high rarity items...any thoughtS?

 

Should work fine, profile is made to gather either/or though

 

Most things don't use the default or "stub" rotation unless disableRotationOverride is true or the override happens to return the same rotation. The "stub" rotation is meant to give rules to for GP/Time + cordial management. So for collecting, it suggest 600gp and 30 seconds from start to finish. This allows me to determine different strategies for cordials... mostly the IfNeeded or Auto cordial time specificaiton.

I still really haven't got ephemerals down perfectly as there are lots of different ways people like to collect them. I am trying to come up with better options, but I would probably use RegularNode as my default rotation as it is now 0 gp req, 0 seconds. Set cordial time to Auto or AfterGather. I will try to help as much as I can if you have questions on a profile.

 

Alright - I'm going to try to make some simple changes to y2krazy's profile as suggested above and if they happen to work out I'll give expanding it to other areas a shot....or as Tishat (may have?) suggested maybe just make it a hierarchical profile rather than an either/or one.

 

Feel free to use anything you'd like and share it with others.

 

Will do good sir! THough expect garble to come out first as I am definitely not very good at this

 

Speakiong of which y2krazy. Did you make your hotspots around the ephemeral node's themselves or around the whole area? Reason being I'm just doing some surveying around Idyllshire and there only seems to be one ephermeral rocky outcrop appearing on the profile creator.

 

There is only one spot at each location it always spawns, afaik, never seen it move at least.
And Hierarchical is how I would preffer it, yeah, do GP free rotations on lvl 56 items if there is no hidden items, and a high collectability rotation on the hidden if there is one. I'm not saying you should do that if you have another preffered method of gathering ephemerals though. Like straight up just mass gathering low lvl collectables will yield you plenty of crystals/clusters, but I don't think you can get HQ sand unless you do an 8/8 rotation on the hidden items.

But You could maybe also gather low lvl items, and do hiddens if they pop, and then go back to low lvl stuff while waiting on GP, and/or pop cordials.. Or you could just not use cordials and not get a lot of hiddens out of each ephemeral timeslot.. There's lots of options.. But the CordialTime="" Might work for switching between choices like that.

 

Awesome....I think I've mapped out one set of hotspots in Idyllshire....

I think this place might need stealth by default. Does ExBuddy allow me to do that for ephemeral's? It wouldn't be exactly the same as StealthApproachGatherspot I'd assume?

Also this RegularNode badboy works like a charm

At first blush this might actually be a bit more work than expected. Basically these are the steps I think I need to do:

- Map out all ephemeral nodes and nearby mining locations with hotspots
- Identify "default" items to mine in nearby mining locations for the non-ephemeral nodes (I think y2krazy's profile has a few of these missing which makes the bot go haywire blacklisting nearby nodes)
- Hand hold the bot on flight paths to each core location (churning mists seems to destroy the flight navigator)
- Write the profile
- Worry about stealth etc. and what to do if the bot doesnt' have enough GP. I suspect this is a bit of a furphy though because any heuristics that allows it to ignore the ephemeral depending on GP would probably have to come from Exbuddy.

 

Use gatherStrategy="TouchAndGo" and it will just skip the nodes to repop your ephemeral... no thinking required for other items.
TouchAndGo, will also blacklist the furthest nodes from you in the hotspot, so it will always go to the closest one. (and should only blacklist long enough to move on to the next hotspot...it is designed for Ephemeral farming.

 

Oh right - so by going back and forth on non-ephemeral nodes it repops the ephemeral?? That knowledge bomb.

 

Yeah, you only need to touch 1 node in 2 groups, usually there is 3 groups
