[AutoAngler] Giant Mantis Shrimp/Reef Octopus (Dread Wastes) v0.2

This is a simple AutoAngler profile to farm the Giant Mantis Shrimp and Reef Octopus pools located around the southern coast of the Dread Wastes. This is my first every attempt at creating a profile for HonorBuddy, and it literally took me about 5 minutes.

I have tested it, and it works rather well. It does have a repair NPC added for vendoring purposes; I also wanted to add a mailbox, but I do not know of one usable by either faction near this location.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them, and I'll do my best to fix any issues.

Version 0.2
  • Added mailbox in Klaxxi'vess, use at your own discretion.
  • Removed vendor tags to hopefully prevent selling non-gray items.

Version 0.1
  • Initial Release

I tried it for an hour or so and when bags got full it went to a vendor and sold all the fish it had caught, maybe a confsion with a mailbox or something ?
 
It shouldn't vendor common aka white quality items, per the:
Code: 
<SellWhite>false</SellWhite>
In the XML, I had to reupload the XML file, so make sure that line is set to false in the XML file.
 
Hmm i dunno, i came back to my game and the bags were full and i moved the character accidently, it then ran to the vendor and all the fish had dissapered..
 
You can try removing the vendor all together, that would be a workaround although not ideal. I hesitate to put in the mailbox located in Klaxxi'vess simply because its such a high traffic area. I'll still look around to see if I can find another mailbox closer to the farming area.

EDIT
I decided to go ahead and add the mailbox in Klaxxi'vess, people can disable mailing if they're hesitant about it. I also removed all of the vendor tags except for the one for junk (gray) items, hopefully it will stop the vendoring issue.

Removing vendors from the profile will not stop it from trying to vendor when the bag full criteria is met. Even unchecking Find Vendors Automatically doesn't keep it from vendoring. The only way to ensure it won't vendor your fish but will continue to vendor other white trash is to add the fish to the ProtectedItems.xml. This is not the responsibility of the profile writer. There is a pre-existing Protected Items.xml installed with HB that contains most mats, potions and other stuff we don't want to sell. Its been updated for many MoP items. However, the fish aren't there.

Open the file in a text editor, I recommend Notepad++. Its pretty easy to see the syntax for adding the fish. I'd make you a copy paste list but I don't have time right now. They actually want me to work at work. (The nerve!)

Here's one to get you started:

<Item Name="Giant Mantis Shrimp" Entry="74857" />

Get the entry numbers from wowhead.
 
ty! very good profile

2 sessions today, this is the last one:
AutoAngler[2.102]: In 0 days, 1 hours and 16 minutes we have caught
AutoAngler[2.102]: Giant Mantis Shrimp x116
AutoAngler[2.102]: Reef Octopus x63
AutoAngler[2.102]: Sealed Crate x10
AutoAngler[2.102]: Spinefish x7
 
Is there a specific place to start this bot? I'm in Dread waste and all I am seeing is Spinefish pools, which I don't need as much as the Giant mantis Shrimp and reef fish.

I only fish Giant Mantis Shrimp and Reef Octopus, fishing ratio 4:1. Started profile from nowhere, are you sure you are in Dread Wastes and not in Krasarang Wilds ? :) Seems you are the only one with these results.

Oh, forgot to say thanks for this great profile ! :)
