Farming White Iron Nail

[s018mes]

Farming the White Iron Nail is done by killing the mobs in the newest zone. But the White Iron Nail doesn't drop off the mobs but off a WHITE BAG that drops next to the mob. The chances are very very low that a WHITE BAG drops so it requires a lot of killing. However, can the bot continuously scan for that WHITE BAG and when it appears, loot it?

I have this in my profile onleavecombat.

Code: Select all

    if player:findNearestNameOrId("Gift Bag") or player:findNearestNameOrId("Mysterious Bag") then
		local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/giftbag.log";
		local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
		if file then
			file:write("Date: "..os.date())
			file:close();
		end
        player:target_Object("Gift Bag")
		player:target_Object("Mysterious Bag")
        yrest(1000) -- If not enough time to pick up bag, increase it.
    end

Since I have never ever seen a bag drop I still can't confirm if it works or not and I guessed the name of the bag to be 1 of 2 names.

Spent many hours farming tergothen and never seen any bags drop.

I want a staff of wandering too

Thanks I will test it out

You are on the wrong server... I have now given you one, currently have 4 in the bag. sometimes as a simple thank you for all the help here

[lisa]

I was going to ask if I got the name of the bag right but I assume it is different for your client language lol
Maybe if you know the Id of bag ?

[s018mes]

CONFIRMED.

This code works.

I have proof after running it for 1 hour. I picked up a Bay Ring.

Thanks!

German Name "Geheimnisvoller Beutel" ID:105930 // ID:105982 // ID:105984

[lisa]

Are there specific mobs that "drop" the bags?

I have been farming for a few hours again and nothing =(

[M4gm4]

some ppl´s mean on the beach,, i have found my last near tadarn under a cage from a prisoner

edit:
in the German forum they argue, whether it is a mob drop or simply respawn.
after a few write that they have already opened bag 40-50, I think that it is yet so well that they respawn

[M4gm4]

ok, I just farmed by hand. about 30 minutes - 3 bags.
checked via rom / getId I'm at all. it was always the ID 105930
after the first click, opens the bag, and still has the same ID on 2nd click he lootet then.
I let the time run now with your code snippet to see if he picks up.

And there are definitely drops. if a bag is so round, it's only because someone has forgotten him.

I have change code to this

Code: Select all

edit: Gift-Bag is from the joda quest or ?

edit2: yes, it works, while I was here in the forum, he has found and collected:)

edit3: a good spot seems to be perfect the silent pass

Code needs some work, it seems to not collect all bags for some reason.

My log showed 35 mysterious bags appeared and I had 9 items in my bags.

I did notice while watching once it said bag was there and it would harvest it, moved slightly and then didn't get the item and bag remained on ground, it then continued on. I just manually clicked it so not sure if it would have gone back or not.

Seems alot of the log file times are soon after each other so I think the bot didn't collect them and so kept logging the same bag when it killed next mob.

Might need to add in loop to keep "clicking" bag until it vanishes and have a time limit on the loop.

[lisa]

I figured out issue tonight, you need to click bag and then click it again.

testing this

Code: Select all

    if player:findNearestNameOrId("Mysterious Bag") then
		playalarm()
		local filename = getExecutionPath() .. "/logs/giftbag.log";
		local file, err = io.open(filename, "a+");
		if file then
			file:write("Date: "..os.date().." scout")
			file:close();
		end
		player:target_Object("Mysterious Bag")
		yrest(1000)
		player:target_Object("Mysterious Bag")
		yrest(1000)
   end
 

you click it and then it becomes lootable, not sure if that code will work or if better to have second click as an actual loot.

[M4gm4]

had written it is 2 times

ok, I just farmed by hand. about 30 minutes - 3 bags.
checked via rom / getId I'm at all. it was always the ID 105930
after the first click, opens the bag, and still has the same ID on 2nd click he lootet then.
I let the time run now with your code snippet to see if he picks up.

I've been two hours in silence pass, and nothing, not a single today

[M4gm4]

ok, it's important to change the location. I went to another place, and, behold, two bags in 15 minutes ... Apart from the last 2 hours I almost 10kk with monster cards made​​, the way I've found.

what struck me, what's wrong with the logs, there are too many entries in it. partially in the rattled around 10 seconds

still a question, how can I send a message in the channel when he picks up a bag? so I can monitor it ingame?


edit:I just received my first purple drop out of the bag. Recipe - Large Shield of Warding

[lisa]

With new code I picked up every bag that "dropped"

Code: Select all

Date: 01/23/12 01:14:09 
Date: 01/23/12 01:41:25 
Date: 01/23/12 04:17:30 
Date: 01/23/12 04:47:53 
Date: 01/23/12 06:03:47 
Date: 01/23/12 06:35:42 
Date: 01/23/12 08:01:44 

2h 30mins between 2 of them and 1h 30 mins between another 2, drop rate really sux.

[M4gm4]

ok lisa , but theres another problem,,,

I added

Code: Select all

sendmacro ("DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME: AddMessage (" | cf0ffff00We have found a Gift-Bag| r ') ")

and thus seen that all objects are logged in the log.

atm i´m on the beach, and all Fishing rods will be logged


and another question: how can i add the looted item to the logg ?

[kuripot]

what area is the perfect spot???

[M4gm4]

taaaaaattaaaaaaaaaaa jaayyyyyyyyyyyy Fertile Goddess Star Stone dropped


perfect spot,,, where many mobs , not humans, best creatures

[lisa]

what area is the perfect spot???

Wish I knew, it seems very random. I currently have chars farming the entire map. Drop rate of bags is very low.

and another question: how can i add the looted item to the logg ?

A few things come to mind.

1. start event monitor for system when it finds a bag nearby, loot item and then add the looting system message to log then stop monitor.

2. Do a "scan" on bags to see which slots are empty when it finds mysterious bag, then do a scan after it loots and compare the 2 records for slot numbers and the slot that isn't empty anymore has the new item, then just add the details to log.

3. Something simple I haven't thought of yet lol

[M4gm4]

ok, log files are still correct. The problem is, when the bag is further away than a mob, then it deletes the target, and increases the closer mob, thus keeping the bags are.
Is there a way that he does not do that?
