Frustration setting in, can't make DB loot

[foam_follower]

Hi there.

Forgive this old fart for asking but I'm getting frustrated to the point of regretting making this purchase. The bot has so far cost me 262000 gold in repairs and hasn't picked up a single stack of gold, blue or yellow items. I've read

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...es/54474-tips-get-you-started-demonbuddy.html

&

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...guides/54086-item-rules-quickstart-guide.html

& even tried the recommendations in

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...port/62061-demonbuddy-wont-pick-up-plans.html

It's clear I've missed something here something but despite trawling the forums I'm at a loss and seriously considering canceling payment for this bot.

Honorbuddy works great. Very happy with my 3 licences. It's helped me rais my 85 tally from 19 (Self leveled) to 31. Made me 600g too.

I would welcome any advice on how to fix this issue before I give in and ask for a refund.

Hey, I'll post a few examples of the loot rules here:

1st: pickup gold only

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ItemRules name="Default Item Rules" useRoundedValues="true">
  <!-- The order in which item rules are evaluated. Typically, this is fine for almost all rule sets. 
  However, you may want to switch things around sometimes if you want to force-sell things that may match keep rules. -->
  <Priority priority1="Keep" priority2="Salvage" priority3="Sell" />

  <Categories>
    <Category ruleType="PickUp">

      <!-- Pick up gold, at least in stacks of 100 -->
      <ItemRule itemName="Gold" stack="1" />
	  
    </Category>
    
  </Categories>
</ItemRules>

This next one focuses on looking for gear with at least 23 MF and GF.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ItemRules name="Default Item Rules" useRoundedValues="true">
  <!-- The order in which item rules are evaluated. Typically, this is fine for almost all rule sets.

They will work with the latest version of DB.
The second profile listing is specifically for Inferno.

Thanks for posting those. I'm going to get the old grey matter in gear and see if I can get some understanding going. I'll report back later with my experiences.

Does the second set you posted behave like the old DB. Where it picks up all the blue and golds etc, id's the golds/legendaries when full and puts them in ur stash and sells all the blues?

Ok I'm having good results using the previous version of DB but no so much with Demonbuddy 1.0.834.197. Guessing I'm going to have to read up on how to use

Rule stat="quality" value="Magic3" etc because I don't seem to be having much luck in the latest release. I can get it to loot gold but pretty much nothing else.

Previous version, everything seems to work as described.

Info appreciated here if anyone has any.
