Guyz does anyone know any tool for extracting Quest IDs from any WOW Database like wowhead or thottbot?
I know I can hand-parse them by opening the lua of Lightheaded but I was hopping something more automatic or delicate.
I wanted to make a profile that would have all the Quests except the one I wanted, blacklisted.
I know that would make a hell of a big profile file but this could, at sometime, lead to a 1-80 full questing, minimum Grinding profile that we could use.

I have found some perl scripts that could do the parsing from wowhead but I hoped for a better sollution. Maybe Parsing the MPQs or the Cache DB could be more efficient.

Anyway if anyone has any idea that could help...I would surelly appreciate it.
Thanks
 
Isn't it easier to just blacklist all quest-ID's from 1 to 99999?
You don't need the names afaik, HB just reads the ID from the file...
Then you can start removing the ID's of the quests you actually want to do...
 
As a matter of fact, you are safe by just blacklisting 1 to 15000. That's about the amount of quests available at the moment.
 
Just write a small AutoIt or C# program that writes a blacklist of the quests 1 to 15000 except the quests you put in a whitelist.
 
Guyz thx for all the ideas and for the replies. I really appreciate it, and I hope I can give back to the community a working profile as soon as possible.
 
1-78 Blacklisting Quests

So I got a list of quest from style1one at This topic and also a list from all the quests that could be blacklisted with the help of this and compiled the attached blacklisting xml that has everything blacklisted except the ones that are specified by style1one in his post.

But I haven't tested it at all, witch is something I will do asap. So if anyone else want to test it and improve it, here it is.

Edit: Added all the bugged quests from blacklist.honorbuddy.net and also kinda sorted them by quest ID (I need to find a better sorting method though)

That list contains a bunchload of quests the bot cant do
 
This list is all the blacklisted quests, not the quest the bot should do. If there are quests that should be blacklisted and I have not put them in there you're more than welcome to put them yourself or pm me to update them for you.
 
They are fixing quests and the way its done now its ridiculous to make a 1-80 so just wait a lil longer mate;)
 
I hope you understand that this is not a profile, it's just a list of quests that should not be included right?
So what is the excact problem that will arise from me posting this xml?
Can you use it? Yes if you know what you'll be doing with it.
Is it logical to blacklist everything except the quest I want to do? also yes, at least from my point of view.
Is it usefull? I hope so. If someone knows what to do this thing can save a lot of time for profile making.
So, I will continue to refresh this text with more blacklisted quests, and since this is only for humans right now I will try to make some more alliance starter areas with the help of style1one's post.

PS: I was under the impression that we're here to help, and since I have little to none coding experience and since all those guyz here are contributing with lots of usefull stuff, I hope this can be of help to someone other than me. It was only a matter of Comparing files for me, but for someone else this could save a lot of time.
Again thanks, and sorry if this finally becomes as another useless post.
 
Keep in mind you're going to have to redo this for every beta as quests get fixed.
 
Yup I know, but for now I have not took into account the "bad" quests that are not blacklisted. I'm trying to be sure that all the quests from style1one's post are not blacklisted, but I will double check if any quest is bugged and add them accordingly.
