Epic Laziness

Release Epic Laziness v0.4.25

At this part it has just concluded giving the letter to Diddugu in Western Wastes. The way it is set up is to go from WW -> CS, to insure it takes the proper path to Shar Vahl. What I did not consider with this is that it is really stupid if you are using gate pots.
yeah no worries. and that is what i was doing.
 
For now I have it just removing weapons in both hands. Unfortunately at 125 a kick could still easily kill the dire mob. If this is a frequent issue I have some ideas.



I have not looked at it yet tbh.


I've done about 15 bard epics over the years and about 6 recently. I will tell you since 125 it's common to happen. I use to even just hold items to avoid punch riposte but the kick is hurting too much lately.

The thing to do is turn back to mob - and use a level 80 dot spell. It works safely. I've had too many long spawns wasted without doing it.

I have been hoping to avoid doing that, for a couple of reasons.

First it is just a pain in the ass. And second it would not be super portable between the classes. It will probably be the way it ends up getting done though.
 
ok small bug on the BL 1.5, went to kill Griplan Spiritleech and the mob died and dropped the essence needed but did not loot and continue with script. i looted it manually. and skipped to next step to continue.

Yep I'm aware. I just wanted to share unfortunately it used to work at 120 - mostly. But now it's 100% not working - I'm guaranteed to get one dead dire if not two. Honestly maybe a flag for it? At that level I just have bard do it solo. But that's me.

i have been doing the /autoskill kick to turn autokick off then placing fishing pole in primary and nothing in secondary before engaging the dire and have had no issues since i have done this.. bard is level 125 with no songs going.

Even turning off the /autoskill kick still runs a risk of one shotting the mob. If you riposte the Battlefield Vengeance AA has a chance to kick.
 
Lisie updated Epic Laziness with a new update entry:

Bug fixes. Added Paladin pre 1.5

Added Paladin Pre 1.5 quest.
Fixed an issue with becoming stuck in making yourself invis via hide/sneak
Fixed bad step numbering Shaman 1.5, likely caused the step 189-212 issue.
Shaman 1.5 ~step 51 fixed to use loom for combine.
Fixed bug causing /travelto command not being reissued if stopped.
Paladin Pre 1.5 steps 51-58 May experience issues due to the 4 pieces all sharing the same name.

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
What a great Idea. Have seen it first time just now and purchased it immediately. All my chars but main still missing their epic. Some of them have 1.5 done to a certain extend. Will they pick up where I left them last time?
 
Pal 1.5 pre quest, step 9 or 10, zones into PoTranquility, says moving to a loc, but doesnt, goes into a loop of saving step 9. if you skip forward to part 12, it continues on and heads to plane of storms.

Gets to camp spot, makes a camp, stays in Tank mode, so doesnt kill all the giants needed etc. quick manual slaughter, named becomes targetable, kill it, it loots and then carrys on.

The script will start at step 1, if you recall what step you left off at it you can find it in the outline tab and set the step directly to that part.

Grab the meshes for postorms and potranquility that were uploaded today to https://github.com/yb-f/meshes thanks. I had to make a couple minor changes to the meshes in order for those parts to work properly.
 
Made really strong progress on Rogue 1.5 and Paladin 1.5 today. Paladin will definitely be ready for release tomorrow. Hopefully rogue as well. But it will depend on how long testing takes.

Sounds good for me. Somewhere I took notes when I "worked" on the epics. I am sure I can find these notes.
As it was several month ago when I stopped last time, because I was missing some prelootable items, likely my bazaar-buyer got them in the meantime :)
 
I have multiple chars on different accounts which are listed in the overview. Am I allowed to run multiple chars contemporary to obtain their epics? Will any char use its own files to store any data which needed to be stored. Or may I expect interferences and it is considered to never run more than one "Lazy epic" at once?

Multiple will work fine. Although if you are trying to run multiple of the same class at the same time you may run into some long waits on respawns
 
@Lisie I had some trouble getting an item to drop so I grouped a Gold member to use the AoC and went in and got it.. If this was your original concept, it would work very well and stay in an instance, but would have to ask the user to group a Gold account to request the expedition from AoC. You probably know this.. 😁
 
Doing the Shaman 1.0 and have a rogue with me in City of mist at step 137 and it won't proceed. 1712687523041.png
 
a few things ,

1st , BARD will not click on tree in POM for cobalt scar
2nd Bard gets stuck in sirens grotto trying to get up out of the water
3rd Bard will not navigate to the lower area of dragon necropolis to loot the ground items for epic 1.5 nore back out. i had to pause it and afk and when i came back the script unpaused and was not where i left off.

Is the Rog grouped with the Shm? If not, do it. Then select the Rog in the Epic Lazi window so it will do a job. It will auto pick the doors for the Shm, and then both will run in (and later for exit) It was awesome to see teamwork.

I intend to make a config option so the user can choose between using the aoc, or entering the uninstanced version.

You can run with the rogue in tow to these locs and pick the locks: @Lisie hope thats OK to share that excerpt?

Of course :)

1. The default location that the character tries to reach to use the tree is slightly inside of the tree, so it is unable to reach it and just ends up sitting there running against the tree. I made a PR for this and it will be corrected in the next MQ release.

2. Occasionally MQ2Nav has a hard time with getting itself out of water. I've done what I could to help in places where this is an issue. AMS created some code that should help as well, I just need to review it and get it put into the script.

3. Get the latest mesh for Dragon Necropolis from https://github.com/yb-f/meshes

Shaman 1.5 - gets hung up on clicking POK stone to Shar Vahl.

This should be corrected in the latest version of MQ.
 
Sk has an issue after combining scabbard now its stuck in a loop for throne of hero's an hour wait and can not progress past since scabbard is already made

I'm sorry you are going to have to give me more information. Which quest for SK? What step?

If it is waiting on throne of heroes to come up again, it will loop waiting until it is ready then use it and continue.
 
No real bugs today, and was still waiting on Paladin and Rogue 1.5 testing so I took the time to clean up some of the code.

Please let me know if you encounter any bugs.
 
SK 2.0 Got it, Love it ! Never knew I needed it this much. I have a rather under geared not so loved SK, and his power level just went way up.

SK1.5
On another SK, this was my wife's main, so I am sad to say I screwed up something on the PRE 1.5, I hailed the guy. Its not your error Lisie, its mine. At some point something went poo-poo and I did not remember what step I was on, so I went to turn stuff in to Ribalt and hailed him, he would not respond and just keep handing everything back to me. So I went and read.. its a known issue.. my option is to petition a GM to reset, and thats not a guarantee it will work. Some people posted on alla and other sites , that they had to petition and a GM did reset, but told them they don;t have the right faction. Well, I see no known faction on this guy, so I cannot check it, my other option is to do the 1.0. This seems better than petition at this point. Sad face. Is the SK 1.0 in the plans? Also, please add a note that a user can see to NOT hail Ribalt. So others won't have this issue. The Lua should do all the 1.5 easy enough as it did for one of my SK, but as a precaution.

I recently finished an old SK and had issues. I had started it long ago and wasn't ever sure to be honest that this toon had done any. I farmed the 3 drops for 1.5 pre-quest and things were not working. I had Innoruuk's Voice in the bank. Never hurts to take a peak :rolleyes: Perhaps you have item/items banked that will put you back on course.
 
I just tried this on SK and as soon as I tell it to run, it crashed. DO i have to start it from a specific zone?
Tried it with Rogue and Beast and it doesn't crash but I get this error when I select begin. Tried to run it on Beast and Rogue in both new expansion, PoK and PoT with same results and same error
verified that all required plugin's are loaded.

Cheers, Tshadow

Took your advice and checked as a precaution. No items no 1.5 already done, hehe. I do have a globe for 2.0, that was nice, I had forgot. I used the Lua for the pre 1.5 and had never done it as I looted the items needed. All and other places did have posts saying similar issue about hailing. Really stupid issue.. and they know its a problem from YEARS ago...and they cannot or will not remove a hail check? HA.

I am getting the same error message with my BST.
 
Shaman 1.5 step 120. gave Swirling Fearl Essence to Irionu, did not receive the sealed note...have repeated twice and nothing. Up until the second time turning in, I used the Lua provided. Advice?
