ks farming strats

[lisa]

my guess would be the value of
INV_AUTOSELL_NOSELL_STATSNUMBER
defaul value is 3, so if any items have 3 or more stats they won't be sold, try using that in your profile and set it to 4.

thanks a lot lisa, works great.

Did some testing, works awesome everything beside when my pets get bugged or somehow dissapears and it doesnt loot at all. It just kills and moves on. Is there anything that can check if your pet is summoned or got bugged/killed that can summon it again?
Also a small thing I noticed, happend just once, its when the bot is on the mount and doesnt manage to get into KS, its outside the portal entrance to KS, and the mm window says, "The loading screen didnt appear" over and over.
Anything that can fix this?
Thx for answers.
/H

[lisa]

you can find your answer in the ksfrogs script, pretty sure I mentioned that with all of the loading screens the pet gets bugged and there is a work around for it.

do this in onload

Code: Select all

eggpet = CEggPet(settings.profile.options.EGGPET_ASSIST_SLOT)

then when you enter instance do this

Code: Select all

	eggpet:Return()
	eggpet:Summon()

If pet is not bugged then you waste the 3-5 seconds to resummon it, well worth it to ensure you always get the loot.

Works perfectly, once again, thanks lisa.

And about the mounted thing, just don't try to go into ks mounted. Do a

Code: Select all

player:dismount() 

before going in.

With some mounts you can't go in at all so you've been lucky up till now with yours.

[lisa]

So you only want to use fireball and purg fire?

This is my M/P

Code: Select all

	<skills_mage>

		<skill name="ALL_ELEMENTAL_SPIRIT_STONE_ESSENCE"        	  		hotkey="MACRO" priority="70" />
	</skills_mage>

rising tide is there because the elite makes it an instant cast skill =)

thank you lisa, ill try this later and post my g/h rates.

[lisa]

When I do KS I change the skills though, with this

Code: Select all

	changeProfileOption("COMBAT_TYPE", "melee")	
	
	for i, skill in pairs(settings.profile.skills) do
		if skill.Name == "MAGE_PURGATORY_FIRE" then
			settings.profile.skills[i].AutoUse = true
		end
		if skill.Name == "MAGE_FLAME" then
			settings.profile.skills[i].AutoUse = false
		end	
		if skill.Name == "MAGE_PLASMA_ARROW" then
			settings.profile.skills[i].AutoUse = true
		end
	end

So purg is turned on, flame off and plasma on. plasma arrow on that char is enough to 2 shot any trash in KS though.

Just thought I'd post an update for mage G/H using KSmagma 5.1

As you can see that was over a period of about 20 hours, so can't get a much more accurate G/H than that.

As always just using housemaid luck pot, honor party and a pet with perfume.

[Budzer]

DK if it's official serv if so than current drop event ruin this accuracy, as this is only for this week....

Either way have got 65M/24h including taking new potions sending some staff and doing daily/minis, so i actually in 23,5h (something like that)...

[farmforever]

does the loot runes and zodiac pet make any difference
coz i saw someone using 3 loot III (36% drop) runes, main hand, offhand, and ranged weapon, and 3 different zodiac pet buffs all together, 20%, 50%, and 75%, and +16 wing.

being a rogue this should be awesome with his passive 20% what do you think ?
i wish i could test this.

the basic idea is to get a lv 55 r/s with maid pot 75%, 3 loot runes 108%, 16+ wing 33%, passive buff 20%. 236% flat for 24hs, and honor party (that i have no idea of how much it improves the loot) and 3 sets of zodiac pet for the 6 hous full buff 145%.

any idea of a server that i can have fast access to this setup ?

[Ego95]

This birthday event is great. My mage gets 3,3 kk/hour and my rogue 2,9 kk /hour

[lisa]

Aus seems to have missed out on the Tp and Loot bonus, get the 2X of xp is about it.

[farmforever]

im missing the pet perfume, cant find the ID of buff and item ID to cast, any clue ?

EDIT: one day pet perfume is the only one available on the server that i play

[lisa]

I do potions in profile.

Code: Select all

	<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[

Hey Lisa,

How is possible to take time 6-7 mins. I am using your bot script and runs take 20 min. There is something wrong

Putting this in RoM general as it is more about characters than actual botting, even though the chars are botting.

Ok so I have been comparing the profitability (gold/hour) of different types of KS farming.

All chars use housemaid pot and honor party, no other MF, not even + wings.
runs take 6-7 mins and stop before the frog boss, usually 150-160 items in bag
Normal mounts.

mage low geared
700k
900K -- added in character looting in areas with lots of mobs

priest OP
850k

scout OP
890k
RC1 - 950k

Could slow down mage so pet gets all the loot, defeats purpose of aoeing everything though lol
(done and gold/hour went up a lot)

current mage WP (16th Dec 2012)
tries to avoid first boss

KSmagma.xml

current ranged dps (not mage) (16th Dec 2012)
kills first boss

KSira.xml

current frog farm (16th Dec 2012)
goes in kills frogs, leaves out entrance portal.
Rinse and repeat until bags are full and then sells it to NPC.
Works well for mage with thunderstorm.
Uses Rock's gotoportal function.

The run time depends how quickly you kill and also how quickly your bags fill up, it is also affected by how much loot is deleted by the cleanbag function which gets rid of low value junk.

Remember I also designed this to run with specific things, pet to loot mobs (pet perfume), honor party, housemaid luck pots. If you have those 3 things then you need to look at how quickly you are killing mobs, with mage using thunderstorm the runs can be very fast. Of course a mount is important for traveling as walking is very slow.

There could be many factors as to why it takes longer for you.

[ograso]

My character is very powerfull and 77 lvl. maybe high lvl character is not so good I dont know exactly.

I have those 3 things as you said. perfume,housemaid luck pots and honor party att all. but maybe probably right about the skill which I use. I am using purgutory. I tried to to use thunderstorm but bot is waiting a mouse click when I use the thunderstorm.

I am using especially countmobs function for the effectively kill and I loot 2 bags(40-50 items). there is something wrong as I understand but I dont know where it is..

Can you give an exam for using thunderstorm skill..
