Archeology Blacklisting not working

[15outland]

hi

Ive used the blacklisting option before and never had any problems, but now with my level 82 paladin, I want to blacklist all mount hyjal and uldum dig-sites, but he seems to still be going to Mt Hyjal and uldum dig-sites, I've even checked twice to make sure there blacklisted and they are, but i can't figure it out, shouldn't there be specific area blacklist, so it doesn't go to that area @ all...

I dont know if it's even needed, but my log View attachment 20-10-2011_12_31 PM 39880 Log.txt

if there is any available non-blacklisted digsite it will go to a blacklisted one

 

[15outland]

So how do i fix this, he keeps dying from mobs at these locations, I've never had this problem before...

 

[primo]

if there is any available non-blacklisted digsite it will go to a blacklisted one

what tony said duh

do some of the blacklisted yourself, that wil fix if for a little while

 

[15outland]

what do you mean blacklist yourself, how can you sit there and expect me to understand when you can't even make it clear what and how to fix it, jesus...

I've blacklisted all the digsits and artifacts using bot settings, if there's another way to blacklist then im unaware of it.

 

[Tony]

there is no other way to blacklist a digsite

but how comes your toon cant handle most of the digsites?
grab some decent gear

 

[15outland]

He can handle MT. Hyjal, but I don't see him handling 2+ 84/85s in Uldum. (Also given the fact most dig-sites there revolve around large mob groups)

As a temporary fix, I've just set to do Arch in Outlands. (I don't want to wake up and find it dead and crashed again)

 

[Tony]

how many of the digsites are with more than 2 84-85lvl mobs,but again as a Pala(decent gear+good CC) should handle them

 

[15outland]

Well, again, I've been watching it run, and he does pull more then 2 sometimes, he is mainly geared with cata quest items, and yet, he still dies, or gets stuck trying to fly back from graveyard, I'm not looking for an argument, but I personally just don't like it botting there, given the same out come every-time.

I was just saying, why have the option when It really doesn't work properly, but at the same time, even that doesn't make much sense, given I've botted a hunter 80-85 using ArchBuddy, and blacklisted those areas. and he doesn't go there at all, so I don't know why it is now.

there is no argument
change continent

There can only ever be 4 dig sites up on a continent at one time. There are 4 dig sites in Uldem alone and I think the same number in MH. If you black list all 8 of these dig sites then eventually you bot would need to stop digging altogether because you will eventually have nothing but blacklisted sites. Archbuddy is working correctly in that it is blacklisting your requested sites and not digging there, however, when there is nothing but blacklisted sites available it will move to a blacklist site in an attempt to free up a non-blacklisted zone. If it did not operate in this fashion then the bot would have to stop and wait for you to manually go and clear these zones before it could continue.

Your easiest option is to simply move to Outlands or Northrend for the rest of your leveling until you hit 85. There will only be 1 or perhaps 2 sites that you may need to blacklist and there are no mobs there that can kill you even if you are wearing junk gear.

Cheers for that, I moved to Outlands

Just throwing it out there, after a couple more levels move your toon to Northrend for a while. You will find all the rare items quickly and earn a bunch of acheives for various finds. IMO it makes it look like you are just a regular player trying to complete all the Archeology acheivements in all zones.
