Ok so I am fairly new to all of this and have been trying to figure it out on my own so that I'm not bugging you guys without trying!
I have run into a few errors that I require some help with.
First, I have created a return path that runs to Varana, sells, (and is supposed to repair), but whenever my character ressurects, he just goes right back to the normal waypoints, not the return.
Second, Do you all have any tips for newbies to the game? I am trying to figure out the best way to make some start up gold to get some not so crap gear.
Thanks alot!

Are you sure you named it properly? It should be named the same as the normal waypoint with '_return' after it. Are you sure it starts at the spawn point?
Either way, you have a problem because, when returning, the bot doesn't execute any lua code in the waypoints so you can't repair anyway.

I can't think of any faster way to make money for a newbie than my miller's farm egg script.

Thank you Rock5
I'll try that out after I get a few levels.
I have some pretty awesome gathering paths that I know i can make money from mats, but this might be a faster and safer way!
If i can add anything to the community just lemme know. I know we aren't to post our gathering/hunting spots to prevent multiple users using the same exact spots.

No mats can match the money making potential of Golden Eggs. And you can even run it at level 1.
Before Miller's Ranch I was lucky if I could save 2 or 3 million and I've been playing since beta. Now I can make nearly a million overnight.

You should use a good loot filter addon, so you don't pickup useless junk. I use Lootomatic but everyone has their favourite.
Once setup properly you shouldn't need to sell your stuff more than once every cycle around the waypoint file so you should pick the closest waypoint to the closest store and put in your 'check to go sell' there.
Besides in Varanas I think the next closest store is in the camp near Twilight Mine. I don't know which is closer for you but at least you can kill things along the way to the camp but in Varanas there is a lot of running with no profit.

Got ya cool and thanks once again.
Im still trying to work out the bugs with the "go sell" aspect, should i enter that into my normal waypoint and create another file for the sales path, then have to it back to the normal path? thats the only part im confused on.

The easiest and initial way people do it is to have 2 files. First create your main waypoint file that harvest or kills and loops back to the starting point. Lets call it farm1.xml. Next pick the closest waypoint to the merchant and start another waypoint file. Head to the merchant target the merchant with Num Pad 4. Then head back again. Lets call this file repair.xml. Now at that waypoint of the first file you do some checks, either checking your dura or how full your bag is, or both then load the repairs file. eg.
Code: Select all
<waypoint x=nnn z=nnn>
if conditions met then
loadPath("merchant.xml")
end
</waypoint>
And at the end of the repair file you reload the main file. eg.
Code: Select all
<waypoint x=nnn z=nnn>
loadPath("farm1.xml")
</waypoint>
