You're close, but there are some misplaced elements. And for Grinding profiles, you don't use QuestOrder or SetGrindArea--you just use GrindArea.

Try recasting your effort in terms of the Starter Grinding Profile. Keep the tags in the same order and context as in the Starter Profile. If you need a description of what some of the tags do (and the associated gotcha's) look here.

cheers,

It's an effort to make a profile for a repeatable quest in Halaa.

i need to grind to get the gun power to turn in for research tokens.

that's why i set a grindarea to have somewhere to collect the gunpowder.

I've set the order of the elements but i still fail at this.


Could not find quest giver NPC with ID 18816 in database.
Could not create current in quest bot!

is it because it's a repeatable quest and i am flagged as if i made the quest allready ?

EDIT: I see now that i might need to use questoverrides for this.

But still i don't understand the questpickup error.

There are two quests called "Oshu'gun Crystal Powder" from this NPC (ID 18816) for Horde. The "Oshu'gun Crystal Powder" with ID 10075 appears to be the one she gives you if you've never done the quest before. The "Oshu'gun Crystal Powder" with ID 10074 appears to be the repeatable one. So, it looks like your profile is using the correct one.

The problem lies in the quest mechanics for this type of 'repeatable quests'. You don't actually 'pick up' the quest, you just turn the items into the NPC for quest credit. Since quest ID 10074 never is actually in your quest log, your Objective is failing with the error message (basically, its saying "there's no quest in my log for this objective"). Same with the turn in, Honorbuddy can't turn in a quest that isn't in your log.

It will probably be a while before Honorbuddy gives us some 'profile writing' machinery to handle quests like this. So, I see two options...
1) The turnins may be possible with plugin support. However, I lack the knowledge to help you with this at the moment.
2) You could arrange for your profile to just farm the crystal powder, and turn them all in manually yourself.


A quest override will not help you with this. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

cheers,
CJ

So dropping out the questpickup does not help either ?

So basically there needs to be a bagcheck to see if i have lets say 70 powders.

if variable check for 70 = true then

turn in quest 7 times.

hmm . too bad i suck at coding
