[PB][INSC] Vendor-enchants with buying stuff from AH

[hutnik]

Shoulder enchants are no longer profitable after patch 5.3.

Most of the profile probadly still works. I won't update it any more.

What is this for?
This profile will:

• Buy herbs for <1,50g and Ink of Dreams for <6g AND/OR withdraw herbs from gbank AND/OR get herbs from mailbox
• Mill herbs you select
• Make inks from MoP pigments
• Make Scroll of wisdom if our cooldown is ready AND/OR make darkmoon card if possible AND/OR trade Ink of Dreams for Starlight ink AND/OR make those 18g shoulder enchants and vendor them (or send them to alt or deposit to GB) AND/OR mail inks to specified char AND/OR nothing (just make the inks)
• repeat

It can also:

• deposit ore in gbank or mail it to alt (in case you're sending all mats from your miner+herber)
• mail golden lotuses to alt
• deposit to gbank or mail Starlight inks away
• stop HB/relog when there're no more herbs (reloging needs HBrelog!)

For complete list of features, see settings screenshot below.

Where do I put this profile?
in your "...\Honorbuddy\Bots\Professionbuddy\Profiles"

How to start it?
Move your char (with at skills you want to use learned) to SW/OG/Dalaran
Fire up Honorbuddy
select Professionbuddy as botbase
click bot config
load INSC-HerbInkVendorEnchantShuffle profile
change settings to your liking
START

Settings (from ver 11):


FAQ:
What is the order of getting mats?
If AH + GB:
- empty GB first, then empty mailbox, then go to AH, while also checking GB every round.
if GB + mail:
Get herbs from GB, get all everything from mail -> do the shuffle -> repeat
If AH:
- empty mailbox first, then go to AH -> repeat
If mail:
- empty mailbox -> repeat
if AH + mail:
- same as AH only, because AH is allready checking mailbox

How does the reloging thing work?
Start this profile with HBrelog (no Arelog). When there're no more herbs (I didn't get any in last round), it will log character you specify and start whatever botbase/profile you ran there last time.

How do i edit the price at which i want to buy stuff?
Follow steps and edit that thing at step 5 (for green tea leaf for example)


How do i edit the price at which i want to sell inks?


I'm stuck in a loop of GB -> mail -> GB -> mail... withdraw -> deposit -> withdraw -> deposit.. or something similar
The profile got a little complicated in version 11. IF you decide to NOT mill all herbs, make sure you have "mail herbs to alt" or "deposit leftover herbs to GB" set to true. Otherwise the profile will not get into next stage, because you still have some unmilled herbs.
Check your settings and make sure you have it right!
This can also happen if your PB have blacklisted some herbs. See note below.

It's milling too fast and blacklisting herbs! HALP!
It's PB issue. PB is set to mill that fast, and if you have a little higher latency, you will not loot pigments fast enought, which will result in blacklisted herbs.
There's a way to slow down PBs milling, however, I DO NOT RECOMMEND MESSING WITH PB FILES, because it's generally bad idea and you could break your PB instalation, if you do it wrong.
How to:
open "...\Bots\Professionbuddy\Composites\DisenchantAction.cs" in some text editor (I recommend notepad++), find this: (should be somewhere around line 180)

case DeActionType.Mill:
        castime = 1000;

edit the number to higher number (1800) works fine for me.

What's that Send mats profile in attachments?
This can withdraw specific herbs or ore from gbank/mail, and send it to char you tell it to, then relog to char you want (needs HBrelog).
This is usefull if you're using only mail+mammoth in some far far away place in the world where nobody can see you

Known issues:
- If your WoW freezes to disconnect when trying to move into AH, change mount distance in settings to bigger number (60+).
- making Scroll of Wisdom may or may not work sometimes. Running the profile over reset time will probadly result in stuck.
- If you are huge (tauren) on huge mount, you may get stuck in the cloth above above doors of OG bank. Set mountdistance a little higher, so it run without mount, or set some smaller mount to use.

I were wondering about the fact that you buy all herbs under 1.5g, that can be up to 1.49*20=29.8 29.8g\stack. Are you sure that you'll be making money from vendoring the should enchants if you do that? I did some quick counting and I got that you had to buy under 24.75g\stack.

 

[hutnik]

lets say you vendor enchants for 18g (for easier math, its 18,75, so you make even more profit)
3 inks, that mean 1 ink = 6g -> 1 pigment = 3g.
you get on average 2,5 pigments from 5 herbs (except Fools Cap, which gives little more), that mean 1 herb = 0,5 pigments -> 1 herb = 1,5g Shadow Pigment - Item - World of Warcraft

with vendoring for 18,75g, its about 1,56g for herb. I talked about it on IRC and my math seem right

 

[smiie]

Yeah you're right, and a bit more optimistic than me. I counted 2 pigments\5 herbs

 

[noelpy]

fuck*n nice profile!!!! thx a lot. works like a charm <3

 

[Hawkiz]

testing, mailed 10k gold to my scribe..
i'll take a shower and post the results


*Update: it says "Moveing to sell enchants" but it just stands still outside the valley of honor AH :S

however, it buys and does the milling, creating the enchants.. perfectly..
but would there be a fix to the vendor issue? i went into settings "Find vendor automatically" but it didn't help

If it's "selling enchants...":
that's weird, there are plenty of vendors around, so it should be able to find one. The one next to fishing trainer is closest and works for me.
I don't have horde inscriptor, can you please try it in Dalaran? I do all testing there and there it works 100%.

Also new version:
mobile banking should be fixed
Scroll fo wisdom should be fixed

 

[Hawkiz]

@Hutnik
i fixed it by closing HB and restarting wow.exe..
however, i havn't done the calculations on it..
but i started off with 10k, and ive got 6.8k atm..
(note, i didn't change the prices, and ive got quite alot of herbs in the mail - i'll post a final result when i get home from the gym )

 

[smiie]

Would it be possible to add the option to mail golden lotus as well? I'm sending all my farm to the scribe but I'd like to have the lotuses on my bank.

[smiie]

Add the option to create darkmoon cards (daily just like the scroll of wisdom) And I'll send you 5$, you've certainly deserved it.

 

[Hawkiz]

its a neat profile (aint gonna be negative here at all!)
but! (there's always a but...)

the profit you make isn't THAT big, an yes.. i do appriciate the profile..
but i threw 20k on the scribe, and went out to do some shopping, and when i came home a few hours later i didn't have any special profit, about 2-3k gold. (Nothing special)


- the main issue imo, is as an example, i mailed 20k to the char.. it buys lots of lots of herbs (for 1.5g or w/e the standard price u listed it as)
goes to the mail, grabs the 50 stacks.. and then mills them, makes ink's (ive set it to mail the starlight inks to my banker, they sell for like.. 60g ea.)
and then make the enchants.. but then! it goes on to buy more herbs, even tho its loaded in the mail
so i ended up having 256 mails from the AH xD

 

[hutnik]

@Hawkiz
I know How many herbs it buys depends on prices on your server. Set the amount of herbs to buy lower, so your mailbox don fill up
One day, I may come with something like: "if i still have mail, don't go to the AH for new herbs..."
The profit: it also depends for how much you're buing the herbs, and it's server dependant. 1,5g is just around the "still making profit" point. Set the buying prices higher for better profit if you want, but there might not be enought herbs at that price and you'll have nothing to make enchants from.
The default values (buy 1200 herbs for 1,5g/piece) suits my realm perfectly. Herbs here are at this price only few times a week, and mostly only green tea leaf. So the default 1200 (60 stacks) is just enought to fill my bags for one round.


Conclusion: it's highly server dependant and everybody should edit the prices and amount to fit their realm.
