Credit Farming in 4.0

[lyvewyre]

So I've seen it mentioned here that there's some gripe over the level syncing due to not being able to over gear the area and thus bull-doze farm all day long.

Reading over the patch notes though, I've noticed that they've in a roundabout way given it back, via solo flashpoints. Someone more experienced with these could shed some light as to what can be expected, but it seems like a solid area to farm. Complete assumptions till it can be tested, but being instanced means minimal risk of being flagged and they can be spammed as much as we want (there's no entry restrictions at this point). They're designed to be solo, so a well geared bot shouldn't have an issue (otherwise, that's what Treek is for).

Obviously biggest issue is getting the coding to run them AFK, ala Dungeonbuddy for WoW. Is that feasible, or is the way things currently are with BW development mean the idea is dead in the water?

Instanced farming is Always best option to not get flagged and what not. BUT there is a resettimer / numbers of resets one can do.
I cant find the reall numbers of time or how many times one can reset, its nowhere stated.
Anyways we could do and create profiles which are perfectly build for this to farm, but then we encounter the next issue.
FPs need to be meshed, BW needs to handle transitions between zones, etc.
Its a good idea, but we need 4.0 to settle in and see what changing and what not, but this with dailies farming is in my oppinion one of the only options we got now to farm credits.

If we work together on that part, we all profit from it, and no one has competition from farming each others zones.

Can we as the normal users here on the forum help with the mesh?
If so, I'd love to help if I just get a little bump in the right direction with it.

Sadly no. Meshing is done on the Navserver.

See, that tells me nothing
But thats too bad, I'd love to help.

The bot 'talks' to the navserver. The navserver is a server at Bossland GmbH which determines the path your bot has to walk from point A to B which is given from your loaded profile.
Only on the Navserver is the data of the maps (maps are transfered into meshings). This data needs to be made from the gamemaps from SWTOR. This can only be done on the Navserver.
This has to do with, one among them, Security. That data isnt copied and used for other bots.
Hope this clarifies some.

Forget Instances, I tried few heroics, drops are nerfed to the ground, reset timer is crap, all the switches and zone changing messes up the bot also lvl syncing messed up the kill speed. Guess only way is grinding outside if you have a good spot. But I dono need to c what will happen when the bot gets online.

 

[lyvewyre]

Sounds like daily farming will be the best thing then. Need to get some strong profiles going for each planet, as they should give equal credits.

 

[Cryogenesis]

We just need to create profiles and chain them up together to do them in order. But well see in a few days...
First getting core back online is prio 1.

 

[pindleskin]

I did test some short instance back in 2.0 or 3.0 with a BW. And I reseted the instance each time manualy. In 2 hours I hit the max instance reset for that zone...
None of this matters due to level-sync nerf. It was on a low level planet.

 

[Cryogenesis]

Did you test by logging out and back in? That should be a workaround for the resettimer, ive read somewhere.
Lets get to 65 first and then see what the options are.
Still a good way to kill grinding for credits thow.
Even leveling isnt viable as every subber gets a lvl 60. And with the pace im in now, in 2-3h already at lvl 64.

No I did not test with logout. I am botting AFK. No time to logout/login and restart the bot specially over night. Need something that works on the long run. I estimate its 100-200 resets for that instance.
Already 65 hours ago

We need to see what the level adjustment impact is? I'm in Hoth at the moment and have been adjusted down to level 42, where I think the quest range there is 38-41ish. So solo grinding out heroics in Hoth probably not feasible, but keep in mind all heroics were changed to be 2+ so the difficulty of the groups is less. Might still be soloable, especially with full skill set.

 

[lyvewyre]

Just noticed all the heroic quests have "passes" that teleport you near to where they are, they have a 1 hour cooldown which is specific to each Heroic. Assuming the bots can handle the 2+ heroic content (that they overgear), if we can hook the bot into using the passes, might be an easy way to get credits.

EDIT: so just teleported to a Narshadaa heroic. Synced down to level 26, the mobs were level 21-22. Easily soloable, had companion tanking and he barely took damage. Char was lvl 42, so didn't even have full repertoire of skills/passives.

There are objectives and shit to use though. But if BW can be coded to handle the objectives as well as the teleporting to each, the hand in via comms so no need to run to hand in. It's just a matter of visiting the heroics vending machine.

EDIT2: Went back to check on old stomping ground where I was credit farming before. It's not a complete push over snooze fest it was previously, but I almost feel like it is quicker now that they've nerfed the 4 heroic down to 2+ heroic. Some healing was needed, but other than that, we all should be fine to go back to how things were before 4.0 when new BW comes back up imo.

Did you measure GPH?

So for solo FPs they removed the Resettimer, woot woot.
Now we have to see what gains the most credits and see if this is more viable then dailies.

From the Patchnotes:

Solo Mode
The following flashpoints are available in Solo Mode at the indicated level. All solo mode Flashpoints can now be repeated as often as you’d like per day. The Flashpoints prior to Assault on Tython are available in solo mode for the first time!

• Black Talon (Level 10)
• Esseles (Level 10)
• Boarding Party (Level 29)
• Taral V (Level 29)
• The Foundry (Level 29)
• Maelstrom Prison (Level 29)
• Directive 7 (Level 45)
• Battle of Ilum (Level 48)
• The False Emperor (Level 50)
• Assault on Tython (Level 53)
• Korriban Incursion (Level 53)
• Manaan Research Facility (Level 53)
• Legacy of the Rakata (Level 53)
• Blood Hunt (Level 55)
• Battle of Rishi (Level 55)

Darn, further down the line in the patchnotes:

• The amount of credits dropped from defeated NPCs has been greatly reduced.

Yeah I noticed most of my credits were coming from handing quests in, not from looting. Brute force farming might be out as far as maximising Credits/hour.

the truth is most of credit come from Stolen credit card ( stolen credit card->>item of Cartel Market->>credit)

 

[Kabeewm]

I'd like to not think like that.
Fine, Im a bot'er some even call it *****ing. But I would never go as far as stealing from another person like that. Thats like orginized crime stuff.

i m a bot'er too......i knew that ....EA should fix that!
