• 1. Wait for someone else to do it. In those days this worked but I suspect these days no one ever does this quest especially on some servers.
  2. Wait for some other newbie player to aggro it and when they realize they can't kill it and run away and Anglie chases them, go to the mound.

This series of multiple waypoint files will complete all of the quests in the Howling Mountains zone.

New human characters should use the first set of files to complete the quests available to single classed characters.
At the end of this series you will be in the Varanas Class Hall where you can choose your second class.
HM_01_SingleClassHuman

After choosing your second class as a human, you can then run the following files to take you back to Howling Mountains and finish the zone.
This part of the quest series starts in the Varanas Class Hall after you've picked your secondary class.
HM_04_TravelToPioneer
HM_02_DualClassHuman

For Elf and Dwarf characters that are using Howling Mountains to level their second class, use the following files to complete the entire zone in one session.
This part of the quest series starts in the Varanas Class Hall after you've picked your secondary class.
HM_04_TravelToPioneer
HM_03_FullZoneElfDwarf

Yesterday I decided to give the new Howling Mountains quest line a run and I had some issues.

First thing I did was I was going to try running an elf that I had through it on a second class. I have a level 19 Druid. I took him to Class Hall, chose Mage as his second class and attempted to run the HM03 file and it kept erroring out saying "This waypoint file is for a dual classed Elf or Dwarf character. (Line 2 of onload section). So after commenting out the first 3 lines, I went to run it and it was trying to run to the first quest to accept. I didn't realize that HM_04 should be run before HM_03. I manually ran him all the way to Pioneer's Colony.

noobbotter wrote:The section around WP 97 - 100something took quite a while for it to complete. It was having trouble capturing the red pincer cave crabs.

noobbotter wrote:Some of the travel points seem to need adjustments on the travel type because it will take the time to mount up, start moving to go turn in a quest and then attack something, then run until the next waypoint.

noobbotter wrote:The mage kept running out of mana so I had to stop it, edit the profile for keeping mana pots, go buy some, edit my lootit filter, re-buy some, and then resume in order for it to not pause after every other fight.

noobbotter wrote:I never did finish running it all the way through because I ran out of time, but I will gladly test with more. Some of the other things that could really help with running this:

Is there a good preset default profile to use that will properly use the correct skills and level them up as he levels? I had downloaded a fresh copy of the default profile and it did not auto level skills. Also adding specific settings to it for auto-selling might be helpful because bagspace did fill up and I had to manually remove/sell some stuff to keep it going.

noobbotter wrote:I had to go in to lootit and make adjustments on old low level stuff that I had previously set to drop in order to be able to complete some of the quests. Adding functionality to detect Lootit and auto set specific items to not drop (as well as enable autoloot) would be a really good functionality.

noobbotter wrote:I also went in and started a new human knight character. It seemed to run very well but like the other waypoint, I had to manually do things to keep it going (level up skills, clear bag space, etc...). A sort of side question, with that new knight which I've never really botted one before, I was trying to get it to use priority casting and set some order to it's attacks but the only attack it wanted to do was Holy Seal. Even with setting Priority casting to true, and having Holy Seal as the lowest priority, Holy seal was the only attack it would do. Here's what I had in the profile for skills:

Code: Select all

<skills_knight>
		<skill name="KNIGHT_ENHANCED_ARMOR"   	hotkey="MACRO" priority="100" />
		<skill name="KNIGHT_HOLY_POWER_EXPLOSION" hotkey="MACRO" priority="90" />
		<skill name="KNIGHT_HOLY_SHIELD"    	hotkey="MACRO" priority="90" inbattle="true" hpper="15" />
		<skill name="KNIGHT_PUNISHMENT"     	hotkey="MACRO" priority="85" />
		<skill name="KNIGHT_HOLY_STRIKE"    	hotkey="MACRO" priority="90" />
		<skill name="KNIGHT_HOLY_SEAL"      	hotkey="MACRO" priority="80" />
		
	</skills_knight>

Any ideas on how to optimize the attacks of a low level knight (no elites)?

Moving to waypoint #75, (-1209, -10024)
Moving to waypoint #102, (-1349, -9960)
We try to find NPC 110066:
We successfully target NPC Gyor and try to open the dialog window.
Quest completed: Lost Material
Quest already accepted: Warning
Quest already accepted: Warning
Failed to accept quest: "Warning". Please fix, then resume.
Go to sleep at 08/18/15 11:12:28. Press Delete to wake up.

When I looked at it, the quest was not already accepted and when i manually accepted it, the waypoint was able to continue on properly.

I've been trying your waypoints for a new human character and I've had some problem:

On waypoint #245 The bot always stop with an error about the GetSupplies() and the bot stop. I can't find any information about the GetSupplies() function on the wiki and in the userfunction from you and Rock5. Anyone can tell me where I could find more detailed info on function with the bot?

Thanks
