Winterfin Clam Collecting

This 'questing' profile collects Winterfin Clams. Be sure and load it as questing instead of grind, because questing is the only way to collect items.

A couple of notes:

1. It will both pick up clams off the beach, and fight mobs it encounters for clams.
2. Use a potion of water breathing - this dives into the water frequently to grab clams.
3. It's OK if you've already completed the quest - the profile will collect clams regardless of the quest status. If you'll notice, there's no quest ID mentioned anywhere in the profile, though it's a questing profile!
4. No amount of 'blackspots' or setting the loot radius or anything, affects how far it looks for clams. It will go up to 45 units away to look for the next clam, even if it's already outside the hotspot 'grind area'.

Even though there are only 4 hotspots, which are 45 units away from the shoreline, HonorBuddy will dive under water, check the ocean floor, enter the cave, navigate to the end of the cave, even go to the OTHER SIDE OF THE WATER, looking for clams. It appears it's checking 45 units from 'the last collection spot,' not the last hotspot - so as long as there is another clam within 45 units, it WILL go over there and grab it. There's no control over this - it's awful, and fascinating to watch, at the same time.

Don't run it for more than the length of your underwater breathing potion - it WILL drown, even using the 'anti-drown' plugin. And don't go AFK for more than 10 minutes at a time, navigation errors will sometimes cause it to stand there and take a beating without fighting back, while spewing ' Could not generate a path to' errors.

This is mainly handy if you're farming winterfin clams, and can keep half an eye on it.

Here's one for Giant Clams at The Vile Reef in Northern Stranglethorn, which give Giant Clam Meat and Blue Pearls. It's even less reliable than the other one - it keeps getting stuck on underwater rocks, but at least it points you in the direction of the next closest clam. This is handy because they're underwater, and DON'T SPARKLE!
