Greetings, Redguiders!

Some of you may know this already, but I figured I would share with you.

Necros get a spell called Sacrifice, most of you know that Essence Emeralds are expensive as shit because people have to level up toons and be willing to sac them and lose a lot of EXP most of the time full levels to get a good quantity of EE's. Essence Emeralds = Necro Rez just FYI

Anyways, if you have a necro or access to one, you can make quite a bit of money for selling EE's in the bazaar. I sell them for around 2k a piece on my server.

But Jigs, why would I sac one of my favorite alts down and lose a lot of levels to sell a measly few Essence Emeralds? Well, I’m glad you asked. You can sacrifice the person and rez them back. But Jigs, are you crazy? You cannot rez someone once they have been sacked. Well right now you can, you can use any rez to rez back the person you sacked as long as you rez them while they are on “Hover Mode” or aka “The Rez Screen”.

Here is the process that I recommend using:

1. Kill the toon you plan on sacking. DO not loot his corpse, because that will only make things longer for you having to re loot everything off the corpse each time you are sacked.
2. Make sure you don’t have any corpse of the mule you plan on sacking in the zone. I would suggest killing yourself on the mule, summoning to the lobby and leaving your full geared corpse there.
3. Move to a low populated zone. Do not do this in the open; it will only cause unnecessary attention.
4. Plugin MQ2Rez type the following commands, /rez accept on and /rez loot on

The macros below are pretty self explanatory. You will have to use the exact process above for these to work correctly.

Hm, guess I missed where someone had posted it before. That person never posted macros with it, nor was it really organized. I also made these macros to go along with it.

And simply reading my post you would understand "This brought it all together"

Also, it's not the same macro's, your earlier post looked like it accused the OP of C/P (C/P makes me a sad panda)
 
Just stating that this info is already available on the forums, I looked at the code, if I was saying it was C/P. I would have been like, CComp, ban this fool for C/P'n.

PL macro's are posted in one thread.

PL Locations are posted in another thread.

Making a post using the PL macros in specific locations with tips and stuff or going into more detail how to better use it = VRY GOOD POST (Makes me happy panda).

Someone coming in and saying "This has already been posted" = (Makes me sad panda)

Please...think of the panda's.
 
When this was first posted, I did this a lot. One thing I'm not sure that was mentioned (altho the macros do it) is that you have to rez the corpse within 60 or so seconds or you can't rez it. Even if they are still in hover mode, if you wait too long the rez wont take.

Fool? I guess, my best advice to you is this, when you have something to say make it a bit more clearer so it isnt taken the wrong way.
 
Zipzip did a much better job on his macros also. Copy and Paste if fine if you actully make it "better" than the original, but when you hack it down to 10 lines from 20 and not even check for Gm's. Makes me say, I wish I had the stuff hes smoken.
 
You realize GM checks are absolutely useless? If a GM is in the zone when you are doing something you are caught already. GM checks pretty much are used for spotting guides and the occasional GM who actually isnt hidden completely from MQ.

As far as your unnecessary comments, I guess I will ignore them. You are quite out of line though, I must say.

I guess my main complaint is that this site has degraded to rehashing old strats for new threads. Which sucks. Looks like the MOD's are condoning it as well.

Big difference between taking a minimally expanded upon hack and then creating a new thread with macros with explanation with the theory behind it.

This is the more complete post, it is what we like to see.

Rehashing posts would be posting the same strat of the same quality and adding nothing to the community but having double postings.

It's not a copy and paste job, it's original work, and it was done with best intentions towards the community.

That has always been the standard, and will continue to be the standard. Nothing has changed.

Correct CC. And on the topic of the C/P of macros, like it was stated before, if the macro has been altered for the better, go for it. It has been several months since I have checked on here due to quitting EQ, but as far as I know, Crystane has taken several macro's that I took and altered for the better for which I am sure everyone that has used them knows they are AWSOME. Nice to see that some of you still use that concept :)
 
Is this still working, or has it been nerfed in game yet . . .

Saves me time and a huge ton of grief, from loading up 3 accounts in WinEQ ( on a old and sluggish PC ).. that 9 times out of 10 crashes when i try loading that 3rd account on.

A simple YES its working / NO its nerfed would be just fine.
 
I haven't tested it recently, but I do believe it is still working.
 
I must say I have been enjoying this very much. There are a couple of bazaar profit tools bots on my server. Needless to say I sell them off in less than 2 hours to them but little do they know the Im the supply and there is no demand
 
I'm surprised this hasn't been nerfed yet, good to see that it still works.
 
I hope you weren't the one doing it in PoK Guild Lobby on seventh hammer. If so, about 5 of my guildmates reported you.

I'm obviously not against this sort of thing but perhaps it would be smarter to not do it in the most populated zone in the game?
 
I get an error message stating that it couldn't find the file D:\Program Files\MQ2\Macros\spell_routines.inc....when I tried to load it on the toon to be sacked. Am I missing where to download this file? Or should I have put them in the main MQ2 directory?

Great work, much appreciated Jigs :)
 
no i always try to use this in non populated zone ) and specialy not in lobby some gm camping there )
 
Thanx for intro to this mac. I am a fairly new user. I enjoy the 'rehasing' of all ready talked about hacks, etc. As a new guy I missed this first time around and sometimes by reintroducing discussion you find out that some folks have found a 'smarter' way of doing something. I've been playing since beta but I still haven't crossed the 65 level with any of my guys. Spent too much time on too many characters on too many servers hahaha. So I don't have any of those super items and epic clickies you ol' farmers have. I don't have a super guild that just pounds out raids. Based on the above intro'd mac, I acutally had to trouble shoot the mac cause it wouldn't work for me..no epic. So I had to figure out how to change the spell and stuff. Felt pretty good. Now if things go well, I'll start more learning projects from people intro and reintroducing specific topics that old farts all know about but I never even thought about. I can't wait for the soldier to get back (crossing my fingers for him). So far I can't make that trade macro of his work yet. Anyways, thanx for dredging the essence emerald back up. It worked fine. ))

i loaded this macro up with a necro, cleric and mule but the mule doesnt seem to be getting the exp taken from the sacrifice back. i killed the mule and summoned to the lobby then went to a different zone and ran the macro but when the mule is killed and rezed back the exp doesnt replenish. not sure if i will get all the exp back once i rez the first corpse with all the gear or not but doesnt seem to be working in the sense you get the exp back, atleast not for me.
 
skip the macro and try it manually. Necro sacrifice a toon. Then while the toon is still in hover mode, have cleric rez the toon and accept the rez and see if that works. You must be rezzed before the hover mode end for this to work.
 
thats exactly what the macro is doing. necro sac, too dies, cleric rez in hover mode, toon accept rez/loot and repeat but im losing exp each time although it is significantly less than you would from a normal sac i suppose. instead of losing about 10% for my toons lvl i only lose about 0.3% per sac but from my understanding you arent suppose to lose exp, but thats just my interperatation.

going to go out on a limb here and say this exploit isnt working anymore. ive read multiple threads and its really simple, get a rez and get the exp back even though you shouldnt. the only benefit now i see is that you dont lose as much exp from being sac'd as you would from a normally and that its all automated, you can set up 3 toons and sac without having to do it which is nice so still useful but it seems no more rezzing and getting exp back...although maybe im wrong. :)
 
LMAO if you are only losing 0.3% per sack then this is working correctly. You have to remember that you aren't casting a 100% rez. It's only a 96% rez. So you get back MOST of the Exp.
 
Having made thousands of EE's with this mac, I can tell you that Blueice is correct, you do loose xp simply because its a 96% rez.
 
Basically not an unlimited EE exploit as you lose a bit of the XP from rezzes. The 4% not regained adds up to about 25 sacrifice-rezzes exploit per 1 normal sacrifice. ie if you normally take about 40 sacrifice before the toon undings to 45, using the exploit you should be able to squeeze about 1,000 EE's out of the toon before the toon undings to 45

Still getting about 25x more EE using exploit means more easy money.

When I'm soloing with my main, I may log in my "sacrifice" toon (ranger, who only gets used for forage and for sacs) along to leech xp for a few levels or so. My sacrifice toon, my necro, and my brother's cleric are in their own guilld and I do this in the guild hall out of the prying eye's view and suck the EE's until my sacrifice toon hits 45. Repeat cycle as needed. Only the GM could get in the GH uninvited and if a GM shows up, bye-bye 3 accounts.
 
right ok i understand now, so correction it works great lol anyway thanks for the clarification makes perfect sense now.
 
i think this has been nurfed guys ... i tried to restock my EE's a few days ago and the alt that i was saccing was able to take the rez, but i didnt seem to get XP back for it, before, i was getting around 80 EE for price of one normal sac, this time i got about 5 EE and losta level :(
can anyone else confirm this?
