You've discovered RedGuides, an EverQuest multi-boxing and scripting community 🧙♀️⚙️. We want you to play several EQ characters at once, come join us and say hello! 👋
- Thread starter Denethor
- Start date
I haven't run it in the last month or two, but nothing in-game has changed that would have rendered it inoperative.
Do you have DeneCore installed?
How did you install EpicReq? (Manually or via the launcher?)
How did you install DeneCore? (Manually or via the launcher?)
What is the output in the MQ2 window from starting it? (PM me a screenshot if you want)
What class are you running it on?
Do you have MQ2Nav installed / working?
Do you have the meshes linked in the Requirements? (https://github.com/BDeakins/DeneCore-Meshes)
Downloaded everything manually. MQ2 nav is up to date and works well. I’ll post some screen shots this evening. Thanks for replying
I just tried to run the macro with my Monk ....and he stops in Faydark and goes not further.
I reinstalled Denecore, EpicReq, and MQ2Nav, and Denecore Meshes Still getting stuck in the same place. ****UPDATE: I have done everything that I have read that others were told to do. I have done everything but install MQ2VeryVanilla all over again. /macro epicreq ....Monk takes off, gets floaty potions if needed and runs to Greater Faydark and says heading to South Felwithe and does nothing from that point. Something else I just noticed is when I hit the find button, it still has the destinations for POK. ...Not sure if that is something causing it to hang up. I just realized something ....not sure it will help but he stops at the point where he is suppose to get the mission and return to PoK

Thank you very much. It is most appreciated. I am learning fast, but could not figure this one out. The next logical step would be for him to get the mission ...NOT!
Actually, next step is to shrink, THEN run to Felwithe. I'm betting you don't have a recognizable shrink clickie, and there were no Philter of the Ant for sale in your bazaar?Thank you very much.

Hi @Denethor , Having some trouble getting this going. I'll post the MQ2 Window below, mac starts up and immediately spams whats in the pic, it keeps it paused and says line 55 is the problem. I have deleted Epic rec folder and .mac, deleted DeneCore folder and had Launcher reinstall both. and also put the Navmesh files in MQ2Nav. The character I'm using has a Denecore file and I use it fine for Explore.mac. I also deleted it and let EpicReq make it again, but it never gets that far I think. I get the same error message. It also does not allow me to /end the macro.
it looks like the macro unloads mq2posse - do you use a hud or a react or something else that is checking an mq2posse tlo? ${Posse}
that's what im saying. the macro unloads posse - but you have *something* that is checking a ${Posse} maybe like a hud or a react which will cause that error to spam
Medic, in attempting to solve my issue I ran this on another computer and found myself in the same exact spot you mentioned in your picture (but with a Cleric). The fix was I had forgot to copy the navmesh @Denethor asks for, not the normal Navmesh from the launcher, the ones he has listed from the link above : https://github.com/BDeakins/DeneCore-Meshes
Let me give that a shot and I will let you know how it turns out.@Sic and @Denethor I tried by unloading MQ2Hud and boom, off he went running again.
I have all the required items necessary and he is still stuck like chuck. Will read on.
After a grueling many attempts, I was able to get my Monk to take off and do his thing .....RIGHT UP TO THE LAST PART OF THE QUEST IN The Plane of Sky. Their he stopped and will go no further. Not sure what to do at this point ...that was hours of running around to only end at the last step and go no further. Any help would be appreciated. ****UPDATE - EQ locked up and when I brought everything back up, it said "Heading to PoK to start over. SERIOUSLY?? This group of very smart people do not get enough thanks for what they do and have done. I see way to much disrespect and complaining from people on these discussion forums. They have no idea what it is like to have to spend hundreds of hours creating a Macro of Plugin to make it easier on mainly the group player. Well, I am not one of them! I appreciate everything you do and for helping me with my issues whenever I ask without any ill will regardless of the question ...be it stupid or an intelligent one. Thanks guys and I was wondering how I would make monthly donations to the team????

Medi - Each class has an 'event' they have to perform along the way in one zone or another. (Warriors have their's in Butcherblock. Clerics is Dreadlands. Monks - It's PoSky.) The macro does NOT do the class event for you. On the Overview page, it tells you:
"⁃ Macro will END a short distance from your class event.
⁃ Move forward to trigger the event (you will zone into an instanced version of your current zone).
⁃ When your class event ends, wait until you zone back to the regular version of zone.
⁃ Once you're in the regular version, just restart the macro. /mac EpicReq "
You need to do the class event, but restart the macro.

Yes, mine was on Level 1 in Plane of Sky ....however, I had to do it manually because he would not do it while the macro was on. I finally got it done. The Monk once he got there and got the first emote ...he runs and jumps off and goes back to FreePort. I got it done. I can live with it only leaving me to do the event, which more the Monk, is very long with a lot of fights. But, it was funMedi - Each class has an 'event' they have to perform along the way in one zone or another. (Warriors have their's in Butcherblock. Clerics is Dreadlands. Monks - It's PoSky.)

Still looking for some input on what might be wrong with the end of that quest. Thank you!!!

This macro does not take me to south felwith from faydark as you have to go to north felwith first. secondly it takes me to the overthere and tried to use the translocator except the translocator does not work you have to get on the boat and this macro does not put you on the boat. I have to pause the macro then get on the boat to get to timorous deep, once there the macro does not resume it just hangs. in order to restart the macro I have to go back to PoK and then the same problem occurs run to the overthere to sit eternally on the dock.
edit: after the third attempt at running this macro it put my toon on the boat and is working correctly now not sure what the issue was. Ill post back if there are more issues.
edit 2: route to cablis east is broken it wouldn't take me through the swamp of no hope it claimed it couldn't find the path but running a cnrl+f and selecting cablis east works fine then upon getting to cablis east its ports me back to PoK without getting into the tunnel for the flag. In addition could you change the translocator from the overthere "The macro has brought me here 3 times already"to the one in butcherblock ? that on will respond to your /say text and translocate you to TD \. Not sure if this is intended to be this way but once I reached acrylia caverns it ran me through grimling and shar val to get to PoK to head to shadeweavers rather then just using the gate.
and edit 3: after the macro has finished we are missing the following updates..... everfrost peak, the emerald jungle, and cablis east. and of course since all the updates were not met it obviously didnt take me back to the npc for the turn in. I will try it again on my shaman to see if its just as buggy but as it sits now not only do I feel this should not be a paid for macro but with the amount of baby sitting it required i could have just ran it by hand "there were many many location where the autonav just hung up on clutter and the like" However your explore.mac was fantastic so 1 outta 2.

Let me tell you what I did as the same thing was happening to me. This might sound like overkill, but it worked for me so maybe it is not so crazy. I was really frustrated. So, this is what I did. I deleted my Meshes, Denecore Meshes, Denecore, MQ2Nav, MQ2Autoloot, MQ2Easyfind, EpicReq and Explore. Make sure you hit the "Watch" on all those mac and plugin pages on redguides. Reboot your PC to make sure everything in the background was closed. Again, make sure you are watching on all the pages that you need for this EpicReq.mac - An Epic Ornament Achievement Macro. Load up your launcher and let launcher install all those things you deleted. Once that is done, load MQ2 with EQBC2 and start your /mac EpicReq and this is where I pray it works for you to like it did for me. Good luck and Be Safe.
****UPDATE - I am almost 100% sure you have to begin your quest in PoK. Someone tell me if I am wrong, but for my Monk that is what I had to do.
It didn’t work out of the can for me either, and wanting the cleric weapon aug, I had to do this 3 times over. Cleric I am pretty sure is not Dreadlands, it’s Timorous Deep. Takes about a billion years to swim to quest mob, then Mac ends. After doing the meat of the quest (the class specific event), restarting the macro DIDNT pick up the travelling journey from the TD or BB egress point for me.
I ended up reordering the travel ‘flow’ in the macro for cleric. YMMV.
PS you need the right meshes, otherwise Bad News Bears. Cabilis will be miserable fo sho.

I am not sure what is going on. Doing my SK Epic Ornamentation Quest and nothing is going right. Been at it for 2 hours now and he still has 7 out 16 zones to go too. He need to go to Everfrost Peaks and was in Permafrost and he gated back to PoK. He was one zone away from Cabilibis East and went back to PoK. Was in Field of Bone and didn't go to Swamp of No Hope, Emerald Jungle. Now he just can to the Arena, to Lake Rathtear, turned around went back to the Arena and then back to PoK. This dude is making me dizzy. I really don't get it. I don't know whether to intervene, or just let him run around like a chicken with it's head missing.
****UPDATE: With 6 zones left to go, it went back to PoK and said this mission is complete or something to that effect.

Hey Guys, tried 3 times to run this macro on my SK, without the success I was expected ....oh wait , it didn't work . I started in PoK and it started off ok and then it would go to a particular zone and they go back to PoK. It was in the appropriate connecting zone put gated out or jumped from the, I believe the first island, in PoS and land in West Freeport. This then zoned in to W.FP back to E. Freeport and lastly to the P.O.K book and out and then took running. I said ...ok nothing but time, we'll get'r done. Had 5 zones left and left fight and it would always do the Shrive thing and then through FP and back to POK, rince and repeat. My monk would do his either, but I just cancelled the macro in Plane of Sky ...killed a dozen or so mobs and got my weapons. SWEET! No I want a sweet SK. Thanks guys

Thanks guysUnable to get any of the Epic Request Ornamention tasks done. So far it was the Monk (2 times) Mage (2 times) and now I have failed the Shaman on try #1 What am I doing wrong. It stops and starts but ultimately returns back to PoK and then Lobby and stops there. HELP OBIWAN ...YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE.

@Denethor I was able to get it working after several tries, but fyi your meshes are a bit problematic. For example, it won't work in navigating from Cobalt Scar to Western Wastes and again in WW to Watcher Scots. I had to use the VV mesh updater to restore the build meshes.
BTW I did it twice last night and it ran to Shar Vahl and Hollowshade twice in both times. For some reason it returned to the zone after going there already.
And to all who use it, don't leave it unattended. PoK pathing is screwed up because of all that stupid anniversary junk like tents. You will get stuck as your toon runs through PoK. Of course this is not the mesh's fault

I didn't think that CS and WW to Watcher Scots was an issue with the Epic Ornamentation Quest. Maybe I am not understanding what you are saying. I have not been able to complete any of the Epic Request Macros on any of my toons, they each mess up in different places but I have yet to get any of them even close to finishing.
Sorry all, I haven't been getting alerts / notifications of updates to this thread. I didn't mean to leave anyone abandoned / unsupported. I just wasn't getting notified of new posts.
Anyone still having an issue, let me know. And again, sorry if you feel I wasn't supporting this. That wasn't my intent.

No I'm saying after I run Epic Request, I go and do other things, like Zland mission. And using Dene's mesh is a problem. If I try to travelto WW, I get an error. After replacing them with the standard mesh, it works fine.
My meshes aren't necessarily for general use (although many of them work just fine for such). The meshes are there for use with the macro, as Wired420's meshes don't always work for what the macro requires. And at one time, about 50% of the 'standard' meshes were actually mine.... Meh...
I have been having the same issues as this quest, on some toons, will not even go get the quest form the Guest Giver. It will run through zones seemingly aimlessly wandering around. For example: My Shaman started in PoK, went to get invis pots, then went through Felwithe Stone to go and get the quest. Once the quest was obtained he started going to zones that were in the quest by in no particular order. Then when it got to the zone, the 3rd zone it got to, was the zone that I had to complete a particular event is and the macro ended pending completion of that classes particular event. I had to go and look this up the event on Allah and for the life of me, I could not even begin to find where that event began so forget trying to complete it. I really am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but there is something seriously wrong with this macro.
I am having the same issue. Some zones have no mesh after installing Denecore' Meshes. Sometimes I think about how spoiled we have become because of the great and hard work of these guys writing these macros and plugins. Please do not think this goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
I am having issues with this simplistic part of the macro. In actuality, my Shaman is running around like a chicken with his head cut off. If you stop the macro and restart it ...Guess What? You got it, he starts all over from the beginning regardless of the fact that your toon may have already completed those zones. Trying not to complain but rather letting someone know what is going on.
