ULTIMATE macro for the ULTIMATE Bard Kiting well its good any way

Ill sum it up here the mac has you starting in Nedaria's where you use
/echo You have entered Nedaria's Landing
to start the mac going it then gets the Expedition and zones in to The Forgotten Halls kites till it is kicked out then it gets another one.

As with any twist mac you need to change the twist stuff not to hard pm or email if you have questions. also in the comments i have (what i think is) a good explantion of the workings of it. Also your mouse needs to center screen when you start to try to zone in to The Forgotten Halls and be on the rock. VERY IMPORTANT near the bottem it say /dzremove YOURNAME make sure that is your name, in the near future i will make more of this automatic but i am trying to get this to you as soon as i can.

|This was Hacked up by Pugs ~,~ 
|This could be made much better but this works.
|To use this macro Make a hotkey that says
|
|/echo You have entered Nedaria's Landing
|
|Then start the macro and press your hotkey in Nedaria's.
|You must have warp for this to work correctly
|Soultakers is what i use if you use other you
|will have to change the command to your warp's syntax.
| also /echo end will shut down the macro and zone you out of the halls.

i reasonably sure i could do this for the vxed macro if you live through the entire thing. Any one intersed?
 
Its been running now for me for about 40 hours continuously. Works like a charm so far, no deaths, and I dont have to worry about restarting the expedition every 6 hrs or less. Only thing I modified was circle on 26 instead of 21.

curious what lvl and how much xp ya been getting if you dont mind?
 
lvl 65 and about 4.5% aa per kill. I tried the vxed macro that tone made and my crappy equipped bard keeps getting his rear handed to him in no time at all. so exp here is about half as fast as vxed and once i get enough aa's ill hit up don for some armor and then hit vxed for faster aa's/quicker PLing. so far took approx 12 days played to get from low 30's up to lvl 65 with a few deaths that i ate. its slow but its consistant exp where you dont have to sit at the keyboard and watch. only good piece of gear i have is a muramite war drum, and i use the mask that has a 14 stringed mod to help with healing
 
I play an awesome monk and an awesome cleric, but honestly, i suck at bard, but i'd really like to get this working on mine, he is level 54, i have gotten pretty much everything working, but i have no idea what songs to put in what slots, would appriciate any help.

It looked almost like it was getting agro before any song initiated, but it was trying, just getting interrupted.

Thanks
 
Ok this is what i use Selos in slot one then DoT DoT DoT DoT, so it would be like
/twist 1 2 3 4 5
1= Selos
2= Dot
3= Dot
4= Dot
5= Dot


Tuyen's Chant of Ice, Tuyen's Chant of Poison, Tuyen's Chant of Flame, Tuyen's Chant of Disease
Are the dots that you could use.

You shouldn't get aggro till the second song is cast if you have selos in the first slot.
Also MoveUtils and Twist is need.
 
Just edit the twist command in the macro in both places and tailor it to what songs you have up so that it twists selos 4 chants and a heal at the least. Its a good idea to put selos first before you start doing anything to piss the mobs off though.
 
38-54 in about a 5 days in my spare time only :) 53 gets a bit rocky but the mac can handle it.
 
thanks pugs

I took my 13 bard to FH

and had a few minor issues.. because it was late and i was tired... but finally got it all working

I forgot to load mq2moveutils

now i am going to try grping with little higher toons to get little higher mobs

lvl 7-9 mobs for a lvl 13 toon is not exactly a decent run

8-)
 
Have had some problems with my 13 bard in FH, seem to keep on getting expeditions whereas the mobs will run. Mob runs, macro targets new mob, gets agro, old mob still is pissed and comes back, etc, etc. No deaths but slow xp. Hopefully this will speed up soon. THink it might be a lvl things because almost all of the mobs are light blue to me, maybe lvl 14 will be a step up in the FH expedition level.

Any advice on gear that needs to be bought and at what lvls? I only have tutorial armor on him which is good for the level, just wondering how long I can hold onto it.

Thanks,
T3

Just dinged to 14 and all mobs are dk blue again. 13 must be one of those levels where the level isn't balanced the best in FH. BTW- thanks for the macro.

-edit- update
18 is close to impossible down there, everything is light blue and green no matter how many times I restart the adventure.

ok this works like a champ .. i was having one minor problem ..

when i am using a 66 bard... he was smacking the walls

so i edited line 49 and 92 to read

/warp loc -580.50 162.80 2.15

used to read

/warp loc -573.50 162.80 2.15



for those just starting with this macro do not forget to edit your twists on line 52 and 95


OK now one more question.. when getting new instanced.. does anyone else have problems with getting an instanced full of greens?
 
only time the instance if full of greens is if i have my 68 shaman in the group with the 65 bard when the bard zones in first. if the shaman zones in first its all good, no idea why this happens though. and the problem your having with hitting the walls, try circle on 21 instead of 26, works much better


EDIT

if the bard is solo i can leave this running for days and it works great.
 
i just edited the loc a little.. and no problems now.. the circle is a little more centered in the room

when grped... I the bots do not zone in with the bard.. after first set.. but i think i forgot to do something.. will go over it once more
 
Little note-
I left this running afk and thought no problem, well, turns out I died and when I came home (16 hours later) my dumbass was running circles in the POK. Went to get my corpse which I thought would be at the zone out of FH. Nope. Was right below the little freak who gives out the expedition. Thought it was weird that I died there. After looting, went running along my way and low and behold, a drop that should have given me only a few damage killed me for 20k. Even though I had no encumberence on, the drop still killed me. So, when looking back at my original death, the drop from the warp made me little bones go splunk. That will teach me to carry 100k in plat on my person. Fixed my macro soon after to ensure quiting in the POK so I am not running around like a jag for 16 hours as well. :)
 
I always get the expedition with the highest level toon I am going to go in with and invite my group afterwards, then I invite them to the exp but do not accept with ttons until the first and highest level toon is inside the FH zone, at that point I join exp and enter. It always gives me DB's sometimes even some whites and yellows for the lowest level in the group. :D
I haven't tried this exact macro yet but I will and I'll let you know how I do soon ;)

You could always have <noencumber> on then you wouldn't die from taking a step LoL :cool:
 
The sub that fires when you die should now take you out of game better now. but the one i had in whne i was running did work for me before and this works for me now if you still have problems let me know.
 
/sigh SOME Asshats have a guild on a server.. its just them and their bots...

Infront of FH ..a bunch of toons...

4 of the toons are running into the walls.. for going on 12 hours!!!

/sigh some peeps are gonna ruin it for the rest of us!

*** EDIT ***

Ok so right before i wrote this.. i had logged rez bot in .. who happened to be parked at ZI for FH. Read above...

I log in my baby bard and mage for a little 6 hour EXP run in FH

and two GMs are staring at these toons...

I about Crapped my pants!!!!

eeekkkkss

and with that.. good night

Is there anyway to make it automatically camp you out when you enter POK?
 
Sub Event_PoK
/echo sorry i don't know how or why but you died.
/circle off
/twist off
/delay 45s
/sit on
/camp desktop
/q
/endmacro
/return

yes thats what this does....

thats why u have to change where u are bound .. in this macro ..

SO when you die and zone into POK... it turns everything off.. and camps

8-)

wow neat mac works like a champ wouldnt work at first but finally overcame my noobness
 
I am not sure this is mentioned anywhere.. but lvl 65 is highest lvl mob u will get

still nice 8-)
 
The macro works well for me, but there is only one problem I have with it. After the six hours is up and I get kicked out of the zone, when the macro warps me back to the expo giver, /keypress forward and /circle are still going, so I end up in some odd part of the zone and can't continue to run the expo.

I'm going to try and edit the macro to make it work for me once I get some time off (boo being in the Navy!). Also, I have never programmed a macro before, but when I get a day off I'm going to try to make a subordinate macro for the toon I'm powerleveling. I'm going to try and make it such that the powerlevelee (My 56 Berserker) will automatically zone into the expo, warp to a specific location, face the direction I want, then assist my bard and throw axes at the rat we're killing. He'll summon more axes when he runs out and will stop trying to assist if he runs out of axe components.

Armysoldier, do you happen to be on the Drinal server? I see Nauk, the half retarded Ogre warrior that everyone hates, and a bunch of people from his exploiting guild Triage standing outside of FH just running into the walls all the time. With our luck he's gonna get this nerfed for everyone :-(
 
http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=3165

has a VPLVL.mac it does what your saying but for VXED

should be very easy to edit that to work for FH

i will take a stab at it once i get to FLA monday night



I stopped using the FH mac and started just using target.mac...

i set up the hot keys with info from here...

BUT since i get the instanced with a higher level toon .. (gets higher lvl mobs)

it works better.. and when i zone after 6 hours.. it camps

6 hours of white-yellow mobs ROCKS



the problem with auto getting instances.. is if your bard is not the PLer.. and is the PLee

if that makes sence

8-)
 
That makes sense. In my case, the bard and zerker are at the same level so it doesn't matter which one of them gets the expo.
 
If you using the target.mac just cause it can /camp desk when you are done with the expidition just add this code in with the FH macro.

In your events add...

Rich (BB code):
#Event Zoned "#*#You have entered#*#"

just put this at the end of your macro

Rich (BB code):
sub event_zoned  
 /delay 5s  
 /sit  
 /camp desk  
 /endmac 
 /return
 
ADD LOOTING TO FHAFK MACRO

REMOVED - TOO MANY DEATHS DUE TO POOR CODE (on my part) AND SOME CORPSES NOT ROTTING.

Trying to rework and hopefully will have something better to post.

Sorry.

Not happy. I must be doing somthing wrong here.

First A WARNING.
Only use this in first person view.

The view i was using would not click into FH. After about a minute it would warp me off world. This resulted in 5 deaths.

I don't know where your all getting all this exp but I don't see it.

I getting pounded by the rats in here.

I managedd to make some use out of this by grouping with my cleric and setting cleric up with healer.mac.

This works a bit better but I don't dare leave it afk.

All in all this is not bad. I would like to know how the rest of you are getting such great responce with it. I look forward to seeing later releases of it.
 
/plugin mq2setspell

/setspell "spirit of eagle" 15

i think it helps smooth things outa bit

Also Ihave found that the AFK bard in FH does a little better if you have sometype of HP buff

your gonna get beat on ... if my 69 bard has HoV on .. he is fine.. if not .. i will come back and sometimes find him dead.. lol

same with my new bard.. lvl 22 now.. but with out temp .. sometimes.. he is dead when i return ..

but change the FH make so that if you enter PoK .. it camps u out.. Gotta have that rez.. lol

FH can be like pound me in the ass prison if the songs aren't arranged right. Some things I changed in my macro were instead of just warping to target in nedaria, I warp to a loc that I know is good and also modified the warp to the stone because it would drop me a few units on the warp. With that drop, if I was overweighted, I would slam through the underworld to my 20k death.

Try different twists per kite and see if twisting in a different order helps keep the DPS up. With mine, I was trying to snare them to slow them down and also trying to heal at the same time but the time per kill doing that was around 10 min and also would only be able to kill one and then would need to rest. Just try doing simple speed-dot-dot-dot (replace dots with nukes if you don't have them yet) has yeilded great results with a great drum and I can not stress that enough, the drum makes all the difference. If you are still nuking, try speed-dot-amplification-nuke-nuke. That one seemed to yeild the best DPS consistantly at lower levels.

You might also want to try setting the circle radisu to 25. SOmeone else had theirs at 26 but when doing that, every once in a while a rat would want to get gay with me and crawl in my ass. (not that there is anything wrong with that, just not my cup of tea)

Can't say that exp has been all that great, but for not being in front of the computer it is great. Loot isn't good either, but the plat is not bad for day-today living (food, drinks, rezzes, buffs, hookers from Siren's Grotto, etc)
 
are you sure that your using the nostun plugin? ive gotten around 150 aa's or more including alts and 60 or so lvls between my bard and alts that i have lvled in here. everyone has a problem with mobs at 53 conning even and red.... WHO CARES...... thats more exp. my bard has only died in here like 3 times from lvl 35 to 65 and TONS of aa points. My bard never has hp or any sort of buffs at all. Just use the best drum thats available to you for your lvl and your golden.

What more can you ask for? This is a private expedition.... NOBODY can see what your doing. Exp might be slower than you can get in a grp, but YOUR NOT AT THE KEYBOARD what else can you expect for lvling while your asleep???

Agree with you
 
I love FH ... FH is my friend 8-)

i am going to try pling in here,. with the 65 dru .. just to see how fast i can go from 1 - XX

8-)
 
thers a flaw in the
Sub Event_PoK
/echo sorry i don't know how or why but you died.
/circle off
/twist off
/delay 45s
/sit on
/camp desktop
/q
/endmacro
/return

it can fail to log you out and leave you runig in circles at your bind spot.

this is code from the Lance173 rework of the bard mac http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=374

Sub Event_PoK
/echo sorry i don't know how or why but you died.
/keypress forward
/twist off
/circle off
/delay 45s
/sit on
/camp desktop
/q
/endmacro
/return

i addid the line /keypress forward so you will stop running and it fixed the problum.


I am no expert by far just somting that i ran into a few times
