Herbing/Mining - Getting Pooned by high level mobs (AvoidMob Name saga)

[Muzzle]

Hello!

I'm very new to this business and this is my 1st post so go easy on me!

My problem is as such...
I'm levelling a Ret Pala with the obvious Mining and Herbing combo. To cut a long story short how do I stop my pala going after nodes which are surrounded by high level mobs that rip me apart?

To elaborate....

I'm using Dwarf/Gnome 1-60 Hawker fixed by deltasniper (which is great thanks guys).
So before I posted this I thought I'd look into it myself by reading the create profile/mesh sections and I see this line <AvoidMob Name="*********" Entry="****" />
I go to investigate this in the Hawker profile and its there with the name of the mobs that keep killing me...
<AvoidMob Name="Thundering Exile" Entry="2762" />
So it seems that the urge to mine/herb is greater than the urge to stay alive or follow this bit of code lol!! Sometimes it looks like a breadcrumb trail of nodes that lead the pala to death!

What I really want is my Pala to avoid nodes which have those selected (and very dangerous) mobs surrounding them yet still collect nodes that are in a safe place.

Is this possible???

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me out.

Well....
AvoidMobs is to avoid "pulling" the mobs, but the bot will defend itself when attacked by these mobs.

As to how you can avoid going there, you can create a few blackspots around the "dangerous" nodes, could be troublesome if there are many of those though =/

And welcome to the community =)

Haya,

Thanks for your reply.

I made about 6 blackspots all around the dam bit where the exiles are and still the pala goes in lol!
I'm seriously considering abandoning herbing and mining until the pala gets to 80 then go back for some revenge!!!

It may be my blackspot technique that is wrong though tbh as I don't really understand how they work.
Im standing in one edge of where the mobs are (whilst dead) and running through them to the other edge of where they are. Is it more of a perimeter thing?

Cheers,

Muzz

Mining herbing pre 80 is waste of time IMHO. Focus on getting 80 first. It gets much faster and trouble free after that.

Thanks for all ur help guys that put that 1 to bed I guess.

I'll storm my way to 80 then unleash gross payback on the filthy Thundering exiles.

That could be your CC. I've never encountered that problem.

Don't necro threads from 2010! If you have an issue post in Support section of the forums instead...

That could be your CC. I've never encountered that problem.

Not only could it be your CC but you should always always always post a LOG so others can see the issue and help rectify it.
