1. Setting up Honorbuddy

Setting up Honorbuddy for mining is quite simple. Start Honorbuddy and click [Bot Settings] on the Status Tab. Now check "Harvest Minerals" to make your toon harvest while questing or grinding with any profile.

You can also check "Ground mount farming mode", but you may need some special farming profiles then. Check out this forum to get them.

If you want to force mailing the gathered items, insert the name of your recipient to the "Mail Recipient" field. For further informations go to "4. Mailing".





2. Plugins

Basically no plugins are needed for successfull mining. But they can make life more easy. I recommend to use:

TidyBags 3.0 by LiquidAtoR
It turns your motes and crystallized into primals, eternals and other things to save bagspace.


3. Tools

Never forget to take your tools with you! Also they should be protected against vendoring. How to protect them I will tell you in "5. Protected Items". One of the following tools have to be in your bags:

- Mining Pick
- Gnomish Army Knife


4. Mailing

To set up mailing first insert the name of your recipient to the "Mail Recipient" field. See "1. Setting up Honorbuddy".

The "difficult" part is to set up the list of items you want to Mail. Therefor you need to edit every profile you are going to use! For some reason the devs didn't seperate it yet, like the protected item list.

HowTo Edit a profile? It's not that difficult as I stated.

- open the *.xml file in a text editor of your choice (wordpad, notepad etc.)
- hit [strg] + [f] buttons to look for a string
- look for the string: <forcemail>
- insert the items you want to mail</forcemail>

Example for all ore and stones:

<forcemail>
    <!--Copper Vein-->
    <item>2771</item>
    <!--Tin Vein-->
    <item>2775</item>
    <!--Silver Vein-->
    <item>2776</item>
    <!--Gold Vein-->
    <item>2772</item>
    <!--Iron Deposit-->
    <item>3858</item>
    <!--Mithril Deposit-->
    <item>7911</item>
    <!--Truesilver Deposit-->
    <item>10620</item>
    <!--Thorium Vein-->
    <item>23425</item>
    <!--Adamatite Deposit-->
    <item>23424</item>
    <!--Fel Iron Deposit-->
    <item>23426</item>
    <!--Khorium Vein-->
    <item>23447</item>
    <!--Eternium Vein-->
    <item>36909</item>
    <!--Cobalt Deposit-->
    <item>36912</item>
    <!--Saronite Deposit-->
    <item>36910</item>
    <!--Titanium Vein-->
    <item>37705</item>
    <!--Rough Stone-->
    <item>2835</item>
    <!--Coarse Stone-->
    <item>2836</item>
    <!--Heavy Stone-->
    <item>2838</item>
    <!--Solid Stone-->
    <item>7912</item>
    <!--Dense Stone-->
    <item>12365</item>
</forcemail>

As you can see it's quite simple and you can add more items like gems, primals, motes, ethernals and crystallized.


5. Protected Items

Protecting your items against vendoring is essential. I lost many valuable materials because I forgot to protect them and wasn't able to buy back since it's limited to only a part of items I sold.

I attached a full list to protect your tools and items you willl get while mining. I also added all bars, just in case you forget to deposite them and start grinding.

Place this file to the base directory of Honorbuddy (do not rename it!) or add the content to your existing file.
