Release Heroic Gear Helper 1.2

[GoldenFrog]

GoldenFrog submitted a new resource:

Heroic Gear Helper - Better Visibility Into Heroic Armor Sets and Associated Achievements

Whether you are an Achievement Point Nerd or trying to track down dropable visible ornamentations - it can be annoying. This utility will help give insights to your current status, as well as simplify equipping, unequipping, and searching bazaar for missing sets/pieces.

Ornaments may only go in appropriate Armor pieces by armor type. "Plate" ornaments only in Plate or Scalemail gear, etc...

Marketplace Gear Achievements
Achievements for Marketplace Gear may still be...

Anything you create I'm on board with and look forward to trying.

This is awesome.



Will it be able to deal with the non-class persona generated achievements. IE: Having the chain achievement when you're a leather wearing class.

It definitely does. But only for the Marketplace achievements (i.e. out of crates). The dropped gear such as from Raids do not award achievements for non-class gear.

Well, it is somewhat different from my experience, as my character is 8 classes.



The achievements are hidden until earned or on a class that can use them.

This definitely works for Marketplace ones.

But that's fascinating on dropped gear because on a large number of times I have tried exactly this (for many years) and never got it to succeed.
There have been threads discussing that fact on the DB forums.

How are you accomplishing this? With Shaded Hopperhide or other similar "neutral" gear?
And is this for any gear older than Laurion's Song raid?


-- Is it related to Persona? I never considered that fact until now. That would most likely work but a pain in the butt to work through.

Yes, it is related to Persona. Anyone who bought the base LS would theoretically be able to have all the arch types.

With Persona's the achievements are shared by character name. Which is why it sucks a little to level up persona's as you can't use the achievement XP if you already did them on your character.

When you switch/swap to a persona, the character becomes that class. Shared achievements, trade skill recipes and level, inventory.

I have not tried the older other than NoS (as I normally wear the swirling shadows. I have a few pieces I can try and update. Wasn't really trying to I saw your Lua, which would seem to make it easier to track.

 

[stuff]

Okay, I just played around a little bit.

- I changed over to my enchanter persona. I was getting checks for Lcea gear. I didn't have a full set so as soon as I took them off the check went away. This may be a bug with EQ.
- Partially completed achievements are still hidden if the class is not your current class. Expected notwithstanding the previous note.
- I was able to complete cloth copperleaf and cloth swirling spirits on the enchanter.
- Heroic_Gear does not recognize the enchanter (see pic). Even when pressing the reload button. This may be a MQ thing with personas.

 

[stuff]

And just to be thorough:



This is the achievements from the Enchanter. I also did an echo to see if MQ saw the enchanter.

I think EQ save the achievements to the character just like tradeskills. My "character" knows all the trades, even the race/class locked ones. From the BST I can /output the poison, tinkering and alchemy recipes.

Thanks a ton for the information. I'm not looking forward to messing with this whole area of persona's.

Side note: As an achievement wh*re - I'm wondering if a thousand new points are suddenly available as your other persona gives different General (class, AA, epic, armor) unlocks. M'eh... I'm not leveling some new character up anyway.

From a script perspective, I just didn't code (or blocked) the non-Marketplace items to only "Current Character Armor Type". I'll add a check-box to toggle that for anyone messing with Persona.

Beyond that, we obviously can't react unless EQ is giving us correct information.

I've never made a Persona, and my main (with all the achievements) only has one /claim for persona slot. Guess I'll use that and see how it works. Wizard time! ... or... enchanter! or... And see what's available.

Have to be careful what avenues open up 'cuz I'll easily fall into the rabbit hole of farming/acquiring the 6 other armor classes for each of those 42 non-Marketplace sets. And who wants to waste time on that.

Yes, any class specific achievements are shared. Leveling spell/skill, epics, etc.
