Recruit-A-Friend Quest Profile and/or Bot

[hackersrage]

Hello,

Been scouring the forums here for some time and would really like to know if there is something available for Questing with Recruit-A-Friend XP. Grinding is a pathetic way to level when you can gain upwards of 300k from a single quest hand in (27k for a lowbie quest hand-in).

Would be really awesome to see two bots in party, picking up and doing the quests at the same time. If one bot finishes the quest early, then it waits at the quest giver or helps the other bot grind out the task at hand.

I am looking for something that would assist two characters working in tandem and leveling together using this technique. Since Recruit-A-Friend XP stops at 80, this means that the quest profile would not need to pass level 80. You would also be "skipping" a lot of areas due to the increased speed at which lower level quests go grey.

Kick's profile is decent, but there doesn't seem to be anything core that would allow for bots to communicate with each other (of course this would require a multiple instance license key from you -- so this would probably mean even more sales).

Please let me know.

party mode questing is not supported as when questing was written it was only meant to run 1 character at a time, and running 2 in a party causes a whole host of problems.

one thing you can do is battlegrounds, since the party bot supports it it would be a good way to get exp without actually having to grind.

@CodenameG -

Thanks for the idea, but having done many runs via RAF, questing is by far the fastest, and even faster on RAF. Grinding BG's is almost the worst exp in the game -- next to grinding green mobs that are 1 level from being grey.

One quest, say -- normally worth 8k for a talk to, takes 10 seconds - 3 min to complete. On RAF, yeilds 24k xp for two toons -- so technically, 48k xp earned. Even the highest level BG doesn't gain that over an hour, let alone a couple short minutes.

From experience, popping out 80's by hand in 1-2 days per pair with 40 grantable levels (so 2.5 level 80 toons every 1-2 days - 5 toons in a 4 day period), I would think that utilizing this capability with HonorBuddy would be just dandy, where I can load up entire accounts with around a total of 96 (combined) level 80's in the 3 month span, taking tuesdays off.

If there is anything I can do to assist in perhaps adding this feature to the core, let me know, my knowledge is in the VB world, not C# so much (always found the syntax of C# a bit excessive). I don't really have a lot of time to peruse your API, but should be some sort of communication bridge to allow two clients to communicate with each other, and adding a pause for distance/alt combat check, would work well. Loot can remain as group loot, thus allowing both bots to loot the corpses. Maybe add an "OnQuestComplete" trigger so a check can be made if the other bot has "sync" with completion status.

If you have bots in party mode anyway, and they are following and doing combat, it really shouldn't be much more work to add a small UDP/TCP server (or OLE) for communication between the two. Let me know what you think --- I do see this as a fantastic opportunity to hop on the toon creation board. --- fastest botter ever !!
