Thanks...currently comparing keeps 2 versions. I think rrrix's latest parameters are working much nicer than they originally where. Since we aren't specifically looking for the entrance to level 3, it is a viable option. I was only able to run a quick 20 minutes on the random explore, but it did a good job and had very little backtracking.

Current running mine and will let it run for a few hours and then run the random. Not sure if Crater 2 will be as forgiving but we'll see. I'll focus on keeps first and see what happens. I know rrrix's has made some improvements so perhaps I can return to a full explore if the backtracking is minimized. It still won't be super thorough, but more thorough than my hunt for the exit.

I'm no expert, but have you considered Gardetto's approach? Seems like a pretty darn smart way to find a path with close to 0 dead ends:

With Crater 1/2 and Keep 2 I took another approach. I pre-cache the exits of each of the locations. With Crater 1 and Crater 2 I simply WP in than WP out. With Crater 1 I take it to Tower of the Damned which it clears than goes up the stairs to Crater 1. Once inside Crater 1 the new TrinityExplore now knows the WP location and will move towards it. To improve this even more I utilized "Priority" scenes that will only exist along the path of the exit. I also used "Ignore" scenes of dead ends that the bot should never go down. With Crater 2 I used a similar tactic. When finding the Crater 2 exit though it goes to Heart of the Damned. At Heart of the Damned I simply just go up the first 2 flights of stairs and back down to Crater 2. Heart of the Damned is very underrated area. It produces some of my best IPH. With Keep 2, the bot WP's into Keep 1 and simply goes into Keep 2 than back out again. Do a quick elite check at Keep 1 than head off to Keep 3. Keep 3 is manually plotted through the use of IsSceneLoaded. Keep 2 I once again utilize Priority and Ignore scenes for the entrances and dead ends.

I actually did awhile ago, and it was the inspiration for how it works now.

I'm sure Gardettos has updated his profile...it looks private now so I can't see what changes he's done. Originally there was a lot of code and Keeps 2 was a full explore, only Crater 2 and Keeps 3 was manually plotted.

Also, you can't pre-cache Keeps 2 exit without doing Keeps Level 3, so that won't work for my stuff (and isn't necessary). It's a bit of bouncing around between portals just to do the maps, and from the sounds of it there was still an occasional stuck here and there anyway. Maybe it's all fixed up, dunno. Can't test personally :)

That said, I don't pre-cache any exits and really don't have any issues finding exits and do so quite quickly. Been running my Keeps 2 for this comparison now for nearly 2 hours now, 34 back-to-back runs, no inactivity trips. You will get stuck here and there, but it finds it's way out. Long term, this had been the best solution.

Hence why I am doing another test to compare my version to a general explore/clear. The general/explore should eliminate stucks entirely, but at the time it was still slower and less efficient. Maybe it has changed now though. I'll know by tomorrow and will provide comparison stats.

If the random explore wins, I'll put my foot in my mouth, pat Xenetron on the back, and update the profiles. I've got no problem being wrong and making the best profile I can with community help....and as always, profiles open to the public to do whatever with.
 
OK so rrrix has made great strides with the Trinity Explore with the past few patches (yay!). I definitely don't recall it performing as well as it did tonight. With that said, I ran both versions for about 3 hours a piece. 600k gph with mine, 615k random. The random version the stats had dropped from about 645k gph and was falling, but I imagine it would plateau around 600k ish but that's still good because we don't have the weird stucks and we get to kill more monsters.

So I think I will migrate Keeps 2 over after I run some tests with the code inside the main profile.

Currently doing a Crater 2 test now. Bot runs FAR better with the improved Trinity Explore just from the first few runs. That map in particular it used to fall apart on. So far, I think I'm going to be eating my words! Hats off to Xenetron!
 
Magi - it depends what you class as better :) the simple fact is, that the mobs in k2 have the highest drop chance in the game of "white items" - or legendaries, if we're talking about luck. Whilst it will be very hard to determine based on only a few hours, I can tell you that currently all the top end-geared characters farm mp10 keep depths 2 ONLY.

I currently sit on 450k dps with archon, I farmed my way to paragon 100 from about 93 a few weeks ago using your profile, and I was averaging around 50m xp an hour and 900 items per hour. Since i've discovered this method of farming keep depths 2 COMPLETELY, I've been doing that with a friend on mp10, and a bad hour was giving me ~3-5 legendaries.

Now, I don't think the bot can handle mp10, as it has it's errors every now and then with champion affixes and what not, so the next best thing would be to add it in to your profile :)

I thank you for the links and I should give it a shot.

Ah and before you mess around with A2, decide if it's worth it, as that place is actually pretty bad for loot, but amazing for XP. The reason being is that 80percent of the mobs are spiders (large packs of them albeit) - which give really high xp, but have a very low drop chance for an "extra white item" - and something like 0.00001% for a legendary. Just go try it out and farm some spiders :P

Thank you Magi this is awesome :)
 
good to know Xenetron! I'm not really on the up and up of that info so I appreciate the valuable insight. I can attest to legend drops in Keeps 2...I found running Keeps 2 indefinitely I was getting far more legend drops than VotA ever did. I always liked that place even when I used to "play"

In any case, I popped in full explores for Keeps 2/Crater 2 into Ultima Magi Extended and ran for 10 hours on MP1:

Had 2 inactivity trips.

Now running my current V2 version (no random explore) and see what it does for gold and loot. I'm only picking up legends pretty much.

Your welcome to test it out for yourself too if anyone wants to:

Will report back in 10 or so hours on how the current version compares to the updated Random explores.
 
very nice profile! tested all of them, occasional stucks but mostly good, getting 500kgph or even 600k+ sometimes if you can trust the DB g/h counter, tough i calculated it manually aswell and seemed to be about right :)

375 % GF (valors included)
Paragon 33 at the moment
80k dps whirlwind barb
34k health 500-600ar
 
nice! Yeah I'm averaging a bit better gph with my current v2 vs the random...almost 4 hours in:

AnttiR - check your Trinity Logs and look for RunStats...will give you an accurate eph/gph....item drop is screwed up but picked up looks accurate I think.

@Magi - I've just tried this and I really think it's better already after the first few games. However, on the 3rd game, I got stuck for about 2 minutes in AC2. If I copy the A2 code from v2.0 into v2.1, will that remove the explore random part? Also, am I able to copy the piece of code for Skycrown battlments from say, Ultimate Skyhigh Extended and add it into your profile, will that work?
 
Yup that will remove the random crater 2 part. Also, you can add skycrown as well. If you put it on the end, you can just have it follow after Keeps 2 and it should be pretty much plug'n'play
 
What's the piece of code to be added that logs you out after, say 2 deaths? Or well, not logs out, just leaves and starts a new game? Anyone know?
 
Well after a few hours of trying to code my own route, I failed miserably and now i'm heading to bed leaving it on v2.1 :)

Magi, my final request is this: Start @ Skycrown Battlements > WP to Tower of the Damned Level 1 > WP to keep depths lvl 2 > Log out

I'll chuck in a donation if you could make me a version of that :) Many thanks for your continued support.
 
for money I'll do just about anything lol...will try and do something up tomorrow. Just played some ironman hockey against Randy Cunneyworth and I'm sore. Won 4-3 though so he can suck it lol!

FYI, the tag for death handling is at the very top...the TrinityDeath tag thingy. I think I have it set to 10 or 15 deaths...can't remember. -M

Tried it for a couple runs , seems to work pretty well

Using trinityexplore it seems to occasionally instantly leave keeps 2 saying it's fully explored. Not sure what the issue is there.
 
So which of all those profiles is best for XP ?
Would like to para lvl with my barb (176 k dps, can do mp 2-3)
24 % speed
 
(Raoha)
===== Misc Statistics =====
Total tracking time: 12h 43m 11s
Total deaths: 8 [0,63 per hour]
Total games (approx): 26 [2,04 per hour]
Total XP gained: 281,4 million [22,12 million per hour]
Total Gold gained: 7333,8 Thousand [576,57 Thousand per hour]

works well :) got two nats ring at night :>

Magi, thanks for the runstats tip :)
 
trying it now, thank you, i believe this could be the best for loot.

btw, how are people getting on with teh keeps 2 only runs? I'm having insane success with it, 1100-1200 items dropped/hr, 3-5 legendaries, farming on mp5 as archon wiz.
