[RedFaction] Horde Questing 68-80

[Liferose]

General Info
This was a Chinese profile made by alen521, posted by jwddx, and updated further by Giants for english translation. Not sure who to give full credit to so they are all sharing the love . It will grind you to level 70 and then will quest up to I think level 77 and then will grind the west of the way because it can't reach any more quests.

Expectations
Food and Repair Vendors
Every Mailbox
Dalaran Class Trainers (TBD)

Instructions
1) Get a level 68-70 level'd character
2) Load the profile at Warsong Hold (Theres a Zep in Orgrimmar)
3) It will now Quest/Grind you to level 81 (If you don't stop it at a preferred time)

going to try it out right now! thxs!

Man, you just stay 1 step ahead of me. Very nice.

One thing that could be looked at. The reason it stopped at 77 (according to the thread) was it avoided Stormpeaks and Icecrown because of no flying. With flying being added, it would be possible to do quests in those zones also. Btw, one change I made to the original, and now to yours was:

<AvoidMob Name="Nerub'ar Corpse Harvester" Entry="25445" />

Because otherwise my warrior would just follow around on the ground while those things are flying above oblivous, until finally dieing to whatever aggroed us on the ground and was ignored trying to reach the Harvester.

Testing now, thanks.

It will cause too many false bug reports since people without Lifetime (flight diabled) will be posting crap like the bot keeps running into stormpeak's mountain because most people are bone idol to read the profile description.

Yes but I intend to include something to get it from 77-80 but i'm not very sure yet. Might release it as a separate profile or commented out within the profile.

*New Update* - Only for Melee classes trying to kill a flying mob it can't reach, helps save time!

Not sure how ranged characters go, but on my Warrior it definately needed some baby-sitting for the first handful of quests around Warsong Hold. Not this profile's fault, just nav issues with HB around the ledges (seemed to jump off a lot before/during/after combat, and get stuck if it tried to fly around). Since moving past that and out into the areas nearby its been flawless so far though. Probably with melee guys worth keeping something of an eye on it for the first hour or so of running.

Right after saying that... Got killed a couple of times while watching at a little alliance camp with 2 level 72 elite Alliance soldiers at: <Hotspot X="3112.177" Y="3837.62" Z="22.56961" /> I stuck in a blackspot of <Blackspot X="3113.088" Y="3839.642" Z="21.06745" Radius="17.13605" /> and it seems to be avoiding it ok now.

 

[bjsaust]

I had to manually do "Find Bristlehorn" as HB couldn't navigate to him.Maybe because he's in a cage and you can't get exactly to him, just nearby?

 

[bjsaust]

"Burn in Effigy" - failed to burn one of the ships (Kur Drakkar), so I had to do it manually. What I noticed when I tried to do it manually was I landed mid-ship and got an error saying I had to be at or in front of the ship to use the torch. I moved forward a little (still on the deck of the ship) and it worked, so maybe the location is just a little out in the profile.

Meshes in the area work fine. What do you mean by fly? Seems to be a CC issue if its falling off ledges not the profile fault.

I also had to do this manually, it is a HB meshing issue.

This either works or doesn't work for certain people. The bot can't check if it actually completed the useitem sequence so I might give it better run-to's and possibly have it do it 2 times just to be safe.

For the first one, I don't know if its a CC or HB issue, but melee combat seems to jump and run around a bit. For instance immediately after a kill it seems to run to the side a bit. The ramps in the area are slightly out from the ledges, so it seems (for me anyway) to jump or run off the ramps and then get itself all confused. As I said, not an issue with the profile, just a heads up for anyone using it on a melee that they might need to monitor it for the first little while until it moves past that area. By flying, I'm using a flying mount, it does sometimes try to fly, but maybe thats just doing the jumping thing again when it happens to be on a flying mount. Might work better with a ground mount instead.

[edit] it could also simply be that I have almost 400 latency so might get move confused for me in combat than most people.

Don't use a flying mount is the first step. Honorbuddy can't fly yet! It only supports not dismounting lifetime members on flying mounts so you can use plugins like AB. I know it is a CC issue because if it was a mesh issue it would be happening to me also. Since its not your CC is doing something that is causing it to move around in unwanted fashions.

 

[bjsaust]

Yeah, I only just read about the flying mounts, so I'll change back. Got all excited when I read it supported flying.

Not sure whats going wrong, I wasn't watching as this happenned, but came back and he was repeatadly trying to pick up a quest that wasn't available:

<PickUp QuestName="A Mission Statement" QuestId="11864" GiverName="Arch Druid Lathorius" GiverId="25809" />

Its not available. I can't see on wowhead any requirements for the quest, so not sure why not. That said I searched the profile, and can't see any other steps for this quest in there (objective or turnin), so maybe its not necessary?


Another one I didn't see what happenned, but somehow with:

<TurnIn QuestName="The Abandoned Reach" QuestId="11870" TurnInName="Hierophant Liandra" TurnInId="25838" />

I ended up in combat with her instead of turning the quest in. I had to res manually and turn it in. Might just have been something flaky.

 

[bjsaust]

The quest "Preparing for the worst" becomes a daily quest, so this morning when I started the bot it ran all the way back to Borean Tundra to do that one quest again.

 

[yayo]

Bot just stood still when it came to the part where it had to deliver the "Find Bristlehorn" quest. Also with "Cruelty of the Kvaldir" he was standing still, I moved him a little bit around and after that he managed to pick that quest up. Apart from that, great job Liferose!! <3

EDIT: @ the quest "Find Bristlehorn" he wasn't managing to create the path to get to the quest NPC

 

[aidsman]

I can confirm the Burn in Effigy bug, I had to redo it myself manually, however i was lucky enough to babysit it at the time, so I caught it early.

There is one other quest, where you kill Scarlet Onslaught, and collect scarlet armor and weapons. The bot rarely picks up these "weapon caches"

I had the exact same problems as Bjsaust. Running fine now again. "Find Bristlehorn" i had to run char next to cage to get him to accept. At "Burn in Effigy" my char burned 2 ships and got stuck in trying to turn quest in. Only problems, the rest is going super sweet so far .
