Problems botting an OLD character..

[Drunky Mcswervencrash]

Found a Shaman that I'd been working on when Glider went down, many moons ago.

Figured.. okay, what the hell. Let's move this level 62 into the Dwarf starting area, and fiddle with the questsettings.xml, figuring that there had to be SOME combination that'd allow a high level char to snag the quests and run them, right?

Well.. if there IS one, I'm a retard and can't find it. I KNOW this has been discussed before, and for the love of God's left nut, I can't find it in the search function.

There's got to be a way to make it work.. I've tried altering those numerics all over the damned place, but it'l just stand there 'refreshing quests' ad infinitum, no matter where I stand, and no matter what I do.

Anyone got any suggestions? Anyone have any fixes? Please?

I dont know the exact name but I think for the low level quest setting (in questsettings.xml or something) you have to set it to 80 or higher for it to pick up the low level quests.

 

[Drunky Mcswervencrash]

Tried that.. Set it to 80.. didn't work. Set it to 99.. didn't work. Set it to some absurdly high number.. still no go.

I dun' get it.

If there ISN'T a way to modify that file and get it to function, then perhaps it'd be possible to code in a level over-ride switch that, when thrown, will make it take every quest not blacklisted?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<QuestSettings>
  <!--The minimum level of quests. This is relative to your character.-->
  <MinQuestLevel>80</MinQuestLevel>
  <!--The maximum level of quests. This is relative to your character.-->
  <MaxQuestLevel>10</MaxQuestLevel>
</QuestSettings>

This should pick up all quests in a start area.

 

[Drunky Mcswervencrash]

Tried that... it didn't work, strangely!
The Shaman did it's normal startup routine... made sure the flametongue was up, and all. Then.. nada. Just 'Refreshing'.
Tried moving to the NE start, just in case it was a boffed profile.. and there it does the same thing.

No interesting info in the logs, either.. they just parrot the startup routine and end since nothing else is going on.
Though right now, it just crashed and I sent the error report to the crew. Perhaps that'll help... but I'm open to other ideas to try. Want to get my Shammy viable (IE: not having no quests completed) before I get caught.

Cheers!

And the thing is.. if you MANUALLY take the quest, it'll run it just fine. Will go and do it.. turn it in.. select a reward.. then go back to refreshing.

Yeah, this isnt relevant to what quest level you pick upm its what quest level you do them.

Oh, come on.. I'm not -THAT- big a retard! I know where the search button -IS-.. just couldn't get it to give me anything that WORKED. Hehe...

Change your wow settings so it can see the low level quest markers.

 

[Drunky Mcswervencrash]

Did that too, Hawker. Checked it so that the low-level quests would show, got the big ! right above their heads... still doesn't work. I can manually take the quest, then it'll run it, turn it in, select a reward.. and not accept the other quest offered by the same guy.

Is there any information I can try and find out for you that'd help? Literally, nothing shows up in the logs other than 'no activity, refreshing quests'.

Now.. with Screenshot and Logs

Got home.. did the usual. Downloaded fresh copy of HB questing beta.. new profile.. tried it again, still no joy.

So, without further adieu.. here's the log and a screenshot to prove I had the low level quests set up.
The profile being used was the one for the Nelf starting zone.
