Rare mobs farming

[sainter222]

Hi, Last night I decided to make a HUGE Northrend Gatherbuddy path so that it will fly around all the areas that rare mobs have been found and ping when it sees one.

I spend a few hours working on it today and while i was testing it, i actually spotted a rare mob with my own eyes YET the gather buddy wasn't beeping and it wasn't saying "rare mob found" in the text box.

I have definitely ticked the box for "rare beast beep", In the past i have found Skoll and Vyrgosa but for some reason it isnt working for me anymore.

Q. Do the rare mobs have to be in a certain RANGE? Because my path is a little high (yet u can still see the mobs below)

Q2. How does this feature work? Does it scan ur temp files or something or does it press tab to find mobs? I dont know, maybe if i know the answer i can maybe change my profile to adapt.


Id love some help because i would like to finish this profile but dont want to if its not going to work.

wth a giant penguin?!
and maybe that giant penguin isnt added to the database? im not sure

 

[twolf]

oOo? awesome that your doing this and hopefully you get the help ya need, cause this would be awesome.

I too have noticed sometimes it beeps sometimes it doesnt, though I take off all in-game sound. Not sure if that has to do with it.

Someone help this man

 

[xvampx]

i dont think they have all rare mobs added to their database

 

[sainter222]

Hmm, if i create a HUGE list of all the rare mobs can one of the devs please add them in?

If this is done this profile will be truly EPIC

Gb has a rare mobs option already

 

[sainter222]

Tony i know it has a rare mobs feature already, i have killed Skoll and Vyragosa with it.

But it only works some of the time and i dont know why. I need a way to fix it so it works ALL THE TIME so i can finish this profile.

fyi you are on HB section
thats why i posted that Gb has a rare mobs feature

 

[sainter222]

Yea i put it in the wrong forum but tbh GB will join Hb soon anyways, i still need an answer tho.

GB rare mob feature isnt workin 100% of the time and i need a fix somehow, i will help build a list of rare mobs if thats what the devs need.

is there something wierd on your debug?

moved to Gb forums

 

[sainter222]

Well I am reading the Log and it does say

[13:46:18:493]:Will alert if a rare beast is seen.<br>

BUT when i was flying over a rare mob (King Pin) it wasn't detected, if it was it would have said something in the log.

So im thinking, does it have to be in a certain range of the mob? if so what range is that? Or is there a list of mobs it scans for? Is the list incomplete?

 

[Tony]

yeah there is a specific rare mobs list
forwarded to Hawker

Make a list of mobs with wowhead pages and I will add them.

There were a couple more like Skoll + Vyragosa but they do work because gather buddy has picked them up in the past.



Hawker, now i know this is being fixed im going to continue making the profile but i have a question.

If the mobs are say 50 yards below me but i an VERY HIGH up in the air, does it not matter how far i am away from them, as long as the mob is visible? Just want to check so i can make a high profile (less chance of being seen and less chance of getting stuck)

 

[twolf]

Sweet man, BTW off chance there could be a way in the future to change the alert sound in GB ? Just wondering.

I don't know if hb/gb is affected by it. But to see a node on your minimap in the game. It has to be no further then 60 yards away.
