Hiya folks.
So I'm working on a Horde 15-60 profile. It's a fork of Tuba's profile (awesome work Tuba). I essentially stripped out any quests that seemed too buggy and added in as many low hanging fruit quests as possible.
This is a low hanging fruit profile, meaning I'm not going to spend a lot of time with CustomBehaviors and minimal time with Quest Overrides - that being said there are a lot of quests in the 15-60 range that fall into this category (for example, you do get the Winterspring quest achievement with this profile).
Again, this profile was a fork from Tuba's profile. I did not write the majority of the lvl 1-40 content. Why didn't I just submit my changes to the other thread? My answer is that I believe there should be at least 2 branches in the development of a profile, one stable and one experimental. By the way Tuba constructed his profile it seems to me he likes to play with a lot of the new toys (CustomBehaviors, macros, custom lua) - and that's awesome. That's a requirement to move forward in the development process. I do also believe there should be a stable branch where only basic quests that don't require much scripting are included. That's where this profile comes in.
My hope is that someday when the HB developers have time they will take both branches and create a "One Click to 85" profile for each faction, but until then I think it'll be a healthy thing to have two branches.

What I'm looking for:
Known Issues that need fixing or will be removed (increasing grind time):
I plan to post an update within 48 hours that will get your chars to level 60 via Silithus questing.
Also, just to reiterate, this is an ALPHA quality profile right now. With your help, my hopes is that it will be completely AFK'able in a couple weeks.
I do not accept donations, but I do welcome bug reports. With that, enjoy.

Goals:
- Get from level 15 to 60 with no user interaction - Don't use any CustomBehaviors outside of what's packaged with HB
- Modify all grinds to use at least a quarter of the zone applicable. Grinding in one pumpkin patch for 2 full levels is no good imo. This is already done for most grinds in the profile.
- Construct the profile in a way that HB can be restarted at any point and the profile will still work. I want this profile to play nice with Mixed Mode.
- Integrate convenient training sessions so that the user can uncheck "Train New Skills" and still get every ability they need in a reasonable amount of time.
- Only use one continent (Kalimdor). Travel time and buggy transports are the enemy.
NON-Goals:
- Levels 1-15. Yes, I left in a bunch of Quests from the original fork, but no I am not going to lay a single finger on them. Please don't post any level 1-15 bugs here.
- Eliminate grinding completely. This is not an achievement profile. In order for a questing profile to eliminate grinding it needs to complete obscure quests with a lot of custom code. That's not what this profile is for.
Current Status:
- Levels 15-55
TODO:
- Silithus (55-60)
- Remove all EPL quests and replace with Thousand Needles (once HB has stable underwater navigation)
What I'm looking for:
- Profile writers to test this. This profile is not meant for people who don't know how to read and write portions of profiles (yet).
- Bug reports of buggy quests, preferably with solutions. Even if you don't have a solution please post, as I may just remove the quest.
Known Issues that need fixing or will be removed (increasing grind time):
- I can't find the object ID for Krom'gar "Elf Killer" for Barrier to Entry
- The NPC follow code for Gorat's Vengeance
- The quests from Feronas Sindweller - need to figure out how to kill the mobs that spawn even though the quests don't have a KillMob objective
I plan to post an update within 48 hours that will get your chars to level 60 via Silithus questing.
