[Request] EfficientFarmer

[vboom]

Holy crap I really need to stop making threads when I'm extremely tired. Anyway, I will re-write what I wrote below in at least some form of a coherent post.

I use GB1 to level my professions for mining and herbalism using the low level profiles such as 1-70 etc. My problem is I have been noticing lately when I get into those odd zones where it's 230-315 or what ever, and I'm chilling at 238 herbalism that the bot will /very often/ (maybe 100 times a night?) go after something that's clearly out of my herbalism skill range, ie: dreamfoil requiring 270. Again, I think it would be quite simple, just scan your professions level and have it blacklist any nodes 10 levels higher than your current skill point. There are often very high gaps, ie: 230-315 zones with dreamfoil being 270, just have it skip those types of herbs.

Would it be able to create a plugin, addon, or even integrate it to the bot. Why if I have 231 herbalism would my bot take the 9 or 10 seconds to try to gather Dreamfoil which requires 270 or higher? My idea is simple, scan your professions. If your herbalism is xxx then blacklist any herb higher than xxx. Rescan every 2.5 minutes? It would increase the efficiency of /leveling/ mine/herb if it skipped over the one's the toon isn't high enough to gather. Plus, I would assume if they could track it, it would look silly to be going after 1000 dreamfoil, many times the exact same one when it gives a clear message what level you have to be to get it.

You can manually disable herbs and minerals in GB2, are you just too lazy or what?

Did it really need the "are you just too lazy or what?"

well to be honest he somewhat has a point, the main problem is going in and pulling proficiency levels for every herb and programing them in. but then again, ive never seen GB1 do this, so the code might already exist just needs to be adapted. what i suggest is instead of making a thread to get people to flame you, is make the request in the Gatherbuddy2 section.

Well, you can call it lazy, but I support the OP. I mean, sure, you can do it yourself but having such plugin or have it coded into GB/HB is ofcourse a lot better.

I really see no point to this =\. Not to flame, or, anything hah. But really, what is the usefulness in this? >.<

The required Levels /Skills can be read from the object, no need to hard cde all skills to nodes/herbs

I've leveled my herbalism and mining with GB2 and I never seen it try gathering nodes that it couldn't, due to skill level. It always ignored them if its skill was too low. Not sure what your issue is.

Noted, but luckily for me I have 100% resistance to fire damage, thus flamers are a non-factor in this thread.

You jelly?

I'm about as lazy as you were to read the post. The point of the post was to make my bot leveling mining and herbalism more efficient by skipping nodes too high for my profession level. Rumor has it disabling mining and herbalism completely will really help me out with that issue.

To keep my bot from spending an hour trying to collect something 80 points higher than his current profession skill allows him. Thus faster profession leveling.

So now your a troll? Anyways there is no point to this spend 2 sec manually blacklisting. #2 Gatherbuddy auto-matically blacklist nodes it can't gather now, so after one circuit w/e your problem is won't happen anymore.
