ShaneMag85's Large Dinosaur Bone Grind

[bobbydk]

Hey nice profil will try this later

Thx.

The 1.5 version (without waiting timer) is really good! The former versions had the issue of getting stuck in the water/hill interface, but changing the hotspots to the left side of the island in the 1.5 version made it really good

In 2 hours, I managed to get 481 bones on my offensive guardian druid (doing roughly 65k dps), so I guess its about ~240 bones/hour if you are alone on the island as I was!

this profile can handle big one？

 

[csl5707]

Test the without timer one
30kill/hr
0death
awesome

 

[csl5707]

OK, reported by somebody, there are too many people. can make a profile in the back of isle, the grinding area is too small.

 

[blacka_bro]

testing it now.. was testing it first on my monk ilvl 491 didnt stand a chance against 2... now im testing it on my lock ilvl 502 with voidlord tanking works great

Can anyone make a map on where to start this profile? It seems that it only tries to kill Primal Direhornes Hatchlings (As I am a retribution paladin, i can only kill one and I have to use many cooldowns to keep me up).

 

[ShaneMag85]

Ok i'll try to answer all of the above

This really depends on your char, his gear etc. my char takes around 5 mins to kill one, pretty low geared dk, so it just depends really.

this profile can handle big one

Again this depends on your char. my blood dk easily wipes if he takes on a large dino, but he isnt too well geared.

OK, reported by somebody, there are too many people. can make a profile in the back of isle, the grinding area is too small.

Sorry to hear this however yes i agree the grinding area is small, and in probably the most farmed location on the isle, but i think if it was anywhere else most people would struggle, and the bot would pull a lot more of the large dino's. the profile has been written with safety in mind, maximum kills - minimum deaths. But regardless of where it grinds, a lot of people are farming the bones and so you are still going to have this issue of people potentially reporting you. this is why i only use this profile overnight, i usually have the island to myself with no interuptions, no whispers, no reports

Can anyone make a map on where to start this profile? It seems that it only tries to kill Primal Direhornes Hatchlings (As I am a retribution paladin, i can only kill one and I have to use many cooldowns to keep me up).

I will try to get a map up of where this grinds, however until then its fairly simple, start at either factions flight point on the isle for best results. It should only kill hatchlings - thats the intention anyways it shouldnt be pulling any of the larger dino's or any of the zandalari guys.

Hope this helps you all

how does this work for a monk or a paladin ?=

It seems that for a paladin, unless your protection it won't work. It might be able to kill like 1-2 but then you gotta wait like 10 minutes so that you lay on hands cd is available, its just too much to handle.

Guess i need more damage output. I am a little undergeared though. 90 fury warrior

 

[ShaneMag85]

You defo need a tank spec for this, maybe even a healer spec, wouldnt have thought many dps specs will be able to solo this with the bot. Safest bet is a tank spec though, im using my blood dk, ilvl 430 ish so he isnt really well geared, he survives good enough, he even survives 2 at a time if all cd's are up. but his dps really suck 18k ish so it takes him a while to get each one down. i run the profile overnight with minimal problems and get just over 1000 bones a night based on around 6 - 7 hours of farming. but its one of them you need to just try it and see, different classes and specs will see different results and i will try my best to keeps as many people as i can happy

Tested it again with these results

Guardian druid (ilvl 500+):
Runtime: 2 hours, 2 minutes
Bones collected: 466
Primal eggs: 1

Protection warrior (ilvl 478):
Runtime: 1 hour, 3 minutes
Bones collected: 190
Primal eggs: 0

Brewmaster monk (ilvl 498):
Runetime: 1 hours, 22 minutes
Bones collected: 298
Primal eggs: 1

This is a great profile, provided that you are alone on the island (monitored it 90% while running to ensure that I was alone)! If you go as a tank, the damage output should be high if you want to get more bones/hour. The druid and monk accidently got aggro on two of these Primal Direhorn Hatchlings, but due to the somewhat high itemlevel, there was no issue with killing both. The warrior never experienced a double pull, so I got no info on that.

Also, make sure that you have some good defensive talents on (like second wind on warriors) before you start to ensure high survivability. I haven't died yet from this profile, but some new hotspots would be nice in case someone is using the same profile

About to test v1.5 With timers as a 509 Ret Pally, will post results!

Great informative post as for the double pulling issue, i get this on my dk also, even though he is only ilvl 430 he manages well so long as all his cd's are up. Im going to test something tonite which will hopefully abolish any chance of double pulling. If successful i'll post an update Im thinking something along the lines of trying to use a ranged attack on a hatchling every hotspot to ensure the bot doesnt accidently run past a mob and end up pulling it on the way to the next, resulting in a double pull. If this works well i might be able to add some more dino's

So...I was killing oondasta today, and I was thinking man, this profile isn't going to work now, because oon respawns every couple hours now, and the route that the profile runs, is going straight through, where they pull oon down to the gy. Gonna be lots more people too. Just thought id point that out, if no one else has yet.

Edit: I was also using v1.3 I think, so idk if shane has made a new route from that or not. haven't tried the other versions.

Admitedly this profile is awful to run during the day, you need to run this at night when noone is about, i pretty much have the island to myself at night which allows a smooth endless grind

so ive made some changes and wow, been running this for half an hour now and not a single double pull, will defo be able to add more dino's i think. will post a release when its ready


OK ive put a 1.6 beta release up, i havent fully tested it yet so test and report - the pulls are now individually written into the profile using your class's common short cooldown ranged ability, example being frost fever for dk or ice lance for mage. so this should abolish any double pulls. ive also added 2 more dinos, if this is successful i'll try to add more so we get a more realistic run. wait timers have been completely removed from this profile. have fun

Awesome job! I usually run the profiles in the morning at work (since people are sleeping or working/at school during those times) and that ensures me that I'm almost alone on the island. Profiles with different designated areas would be great (one farming south, one east, one north and one west) so you could choose another spot in case another botter/non-botter is farming at the beach Maybe that's too much work, I dunno, but I will definitely try the new version as soon as I get time! Keep up the good work, soon I got my new dinosaur

I see your point but the problem is safety, this is probably the safest place to farm in terms of k/d ratio. cant really go around the back due to the massive trex's patrolling the outsides, its too risky. im having a play with the 1.6 beta version, ive now added another 2 dino's and im hoping to have it going to the other beach properly very soon, so when finished it will hopefully be farming at least half the island going to release 1.6 now
