Question - How do you manage bot groups during progression? (1 Viewer)

Kaen’s GiveOne and GiveAll buttons are magic.
Target the NPC, pick up the item on your driver toon, and press the GiveOne Button. All your bots will target the NPC, find the item in inventory, pick it up, hand it to the NPC, and echo it in your MQ2 window.
Combine this with an MQ2Event on each character that triggers on Quest Task Update, and echos into the MQ2 Chat Window which confirms your bots have all handed item in and got the quest update.

This is why stopped doing COV progression. All those turn in quests in CS made me quit.Mostly manually and tears
If the threshold to stop doing progression is COV, then abandon all hope now. Consider
** EOK with bombs in spider caves,
** TBM with flipping between the live and dead sides,
** COTF - Tower of Rot with grappling hooks,
** COTF - Bixie Warfront rubbing healing honey onto dead bixies,
** TDS - Caverns of Endless Suck having to slap a gimp mask on an assling,
** TOV with having to glue a harness on a spider, and
** ROS with navigating a sickly chokodai to a zoneline will literally cause you to ragequit.
Be prepared for some fist-gnawing frustration, coz every single prior expansion's progression sucked harder than COV.
Apols I wasn't infront of my machine when I originally posted otherwise I would have included the buttons inline. Here they are (for Dannet, some modification will be required for EQBC)
From one Hy to another, GiveOne and GiveAll (credit to Kaen01)
GiveOne
GiveAll
Note: apparently there is something screwy with itemnotify and peeling 1 item off a stack at the moment. not too sure but do some reading
MQ2Event Trigger and Command (shamelessly appropriated from CTWN)
Enjoy

I still hand in items manually although AutoLoot's quest settings makes it trivial to loot the correct number of items per character. And then I use a combination of things to help minimize the pain of doing quests on my teams of 6.
1. A button to pause all macros.
2. A button to remove all forms of Invis and Levi.
3. A button to Accept a task.
4. A button to click the Yes button and/or click a door or portal.
5. And most importantly, ISBoxer's Key Repeater, so that I can have all my bots type exactly the same thing as my driver. (I use an ISBoxer flashing overlay to constantly warn me that the repeater is enabled!) For example, as you motor up to a quest giver you pause any macro, drop invis, turn on the key repeater, type /tar some_quest_mob, hit the H button to Hail, then type in /say trigger_phrase, turn off the key repeater, press the button for Accept or Yes as necessary, Invis or unpause the macro.
6. A button to re-enable any macro.
7. And then using the Key Repeater and switching clients, I'll open the quest window on every character and select the appropriate quest so that I can rapidly cycle through each client (yay ISBoxer again!) and make sure they're all getting the updates I would expect. I learned about using the /status command in this thread so I'll be experimenting with that next time I do some quests!
