Please leave your logs in comments so I can see how others are doing with these profiles. If people seem to like it I will make more in the future. Also please remember that I do my gathering with the following. A) A Druid and B) Mist Piercing Goggles.

I have another profile for this.. shorta track, very similar.. each of them skips node like crazy.,. flys right over them.. ui unchecked " avoid elites" and there is no one around so i know they arent being ninjad..I just dont get why my bot misses a bunch.. its frustrating.. its not just this profile its another that i have tried in this exact same area.. any ideas?

same exact thing, i watched my druid in flight form, fly past herbs, some of them were bc of the mist piercing goggles but still, they flew right past them

I know what you mean. I am going to check into it today after I finish up my midterms. My plan is to get the coordinates and manually enter them in the file. As for now it is still working extremely well so I am not complaining.

Stupid gatherbuddy.. skipping a lot of nodes

 

[pbvinny]

u say this is flying mount friendly, meaning optional? or required? Can i use a ground mount?

Yeah I have no clue if that is a profile problem or rather a issue with the Gatherbuddy itself. If I can get the node coordinates I can try manually entering them but that will take a great deal of time. Like I said before I have no issues with the short track I can't speak for the long track as I find the short track to work much better.

I have never tried with a ground mount nor do I ever want to. You can try to but I would advise against it as the path does go through some water.

As I stated above I have no idea what is causing it to skip nodes. If I can figure out how to stop it I will.

Yeah, it seems to be a general issue with the bot.
Overall the bot ran very smooth the whole time, and I imagien the farm would of been crazy if it was working without skipping.
A solid 5 star I'd say

Only problem is Fool's Cap has from 200-250g/stack on AH to 75g/stack on my server

 

[ababik]

how do you get this data plugged in to your hb?

 

[Dandy]

[Gatherbuddy2]: Gatherbuddy has been running for 0h 19m 28s. Collected a total of 39 nodes.
[Gatherbuddy2]: Fool's Cap: 24
[Gatherbuddy2]: Ghost Iron Deposit: 9
[Gatherbuddy2]: Rich Ghost Iron Deposit: 2
[Gatherbuddy2]: Trillium Vein: 2
[Gatherbuddy2]: Green Tea Leaf: 2

Just a quick test. I can tell this profile would be an absolute gold mine if GB2 was working properly.
I don't think Im lying when I say its skipping 80% of the nodes I see on the map.

 

[TheDo]

Bot Config --> Gather Tab --> Bottom right Status Report

 

[Tygone]

It skipped like crazy and sometimes it wouldn't even pick up the herb after 3 attempts?

 

[Bumboclot]

I've been using the Short Track here and there... I do notice most nights of botting I wake up to seeing a WoW crash error, so somewhere along the way its getting stuck. There is still plenty of mob fighting in this profile... it seems like the Dread Wastes is terrible for aggroing things. But 396 Fools Cap nodes after 6 hours is still worth it!

 

[hutnik]

GB2 is intentionaly blacklisting nodes under water, (you can find that in logs, something like "blacklisting underwater <herb>") and doesn't care if its ocean or just small puddle. It's mentioned in every Fools cap thread. Hope Devs will fix it soon.
