Best mode for boosting multiple low-level bots?

[TimeSaverZealot]

I'm not sure this is not the right forum section for this sort of question, but I did look at all other sections, and no one seemed more appropriate. I'm wondering, what is the best mode to use when a human-controlled character is boosting multiple low-level bots?

For Dungeonbuddy, you can't queue because the levels are different. And even in the Farm setting of Dungeonbuddy, not all the dungeons appear, so I assume the Farm setting has strict level restrictions, too. So is it Party mode, and I set the human character as the Leader? Or is there a better idea / mode / setting for this sort of thing?

For individual toons; questing with some occassional dungeoning.

For afking; dungeons for days.

You almost found it!

Its Dungeonbuddy with Farm mode, indeed!

Just set it up the correct way:

Tick the "Show All Dungeons", use Farm Mode and choose only the boosting dungeon:

Then set the Booster (Level 90-100 char I suppose) as Leader and list all the Followers:

And set ALL the Boosted characters as Followers, then fill the Leader's name too:

Make sure, you have NO Tank specced Followers, or this would slow it down, since followers would follow the tank instead

With this stuff you should expect the following:

Leader/Booster - - AFK Botting (Or you can manual play if you are not bored)
- It travel to dungeon entrance, enters and wait for followers to zone-in.
- Once all are there, would clear the instance and zone-out.
- Would wait for all followers to zone-out then reset the instance and loop above.

Followers/Boosted - AFK Botting:
- It travels to dungeon entrance, and wait for Leader to enter first, then enter
- Following leader, assisting in the combat too (if leader is brain-lagged, could die a few times), looting if setup, etc.
- Once dungeon is cleared, it would follow the Leader to the exit and zone-out, then loop the above.

P.S.:
The above works no matter if 1, 2, 3 or 4 followers are arranged.

Thank you very much for this, Aion. The problem is that I cannot always pick the right dungeon, whether in Dungeonbuddy generally (like all Cataclysm heroics missing except for End Time heroic), or in Farm mode specifically, maybe due to level or something? Or perhaps I wasn't ticking Show All Dungeons. Either way, there are dungeons that are simply not in Dungeonbuddy, like almost all Cata heroics, but please correct me if I'm wrong about this. Otherwise, I'm forced to use Party Bot for such Cata heroics.

Yep, from Cata, seems not all dungeons are supported:
But you can use the normal scripts (if present) for heroic dungeons anyway:

And when I pick Grim Batol normal from Bot Config, it spams this error message endlessly:

[DungeonBuddy]: No script found for dungeonId: 322
[DungeonBuddy]: No profile found for dungeonId: 322

You seems to not launch Dungeonbuddy properly.

Just follow the steps above:

Use Farm mode, with Grim Batol Normal.

Just tested it, while using Farm mode for Normal GB, in Heroic GB dungeon, and its working properly.

 

[TimeSaverZealot]

Thank you very much for this tip, Aion!

How do you set the dungeon to heroic, though? Manually first? And then the bot automatically resets it to the same, heroic difficulty, after finishing a run?

Yep, manually selected Heroic, had not noticed after reset if bot entered Hc or Normal indeed, but its easy to add the Heroic DungeonId in the default script as well.

I bet it is! I'm still trying to learn. So far, was only able to make my own Grind profiles for farming things by killing certain mobs. But I don't know how to edit dungeon scripts or develop them, yet. If you know a resource for this, please link it.

The best resource are the default scripts, shipped with Honorbuddy, within Honorbuddy\Dungeon Scripts subfolder and the [Bot] DungeonBuddy - A Dungeon bot forum thread. You can take a look in its archived version as well HB ARCHIVES: DungeonBuddy--DO NOT DELETE, since it gets archived every time and then.
