There may be something around here already that does this, but I couldn't find it when I was looking and I had a bunch of mules that I needed to get to level 10 so I wrote this. The description from the mac is below:

Code: 
| :::Description:::
| This will take a character from level 1 to 10 using the red wine quest and the money in your shared bank. When
| done, the character will go deposit any money they have left in the PoK shared bank and log off.  You can do this
| starting in either Crescent Reach or Plane of Knowledge and it will go get the money from your shared bank.  You
| could also start in Blightfire Moors or West Freeport if you already have the money on you.
|
| I built this because I had a bunch of mules that I wanted to be level 10 and I didn't want to have to do this
| over and over.  Just drop a couple thousand plat in your shared bank, log on the toon (skip tutorial) and
| /mac level10
|
| There's very little error handling and the mac just stops if something goes wrong (but you can fix whatever and
| restart the mac to keep going).  It also has hardcoded delays which are probably bad, but feel free to fix
| it if you don't like it.  You also probably shouldn't run this if you're KoS in Freeport.
 
So, I keep getting an error when it's attempting to navigate to Lady Shae or Swin Blackeye. Invalid nav destination: Swin Blackeye or Invalid nav destination: spawn name Lady Shae
 
To troubleshoot, try navigating to the spawn manually assuming you are in the right zone.
for example:

Code: 
/nav Blackeye



PS I do not use this macro nor do I use MQ2Nav just saying :)
 
ive found some problems with Mq2nav since I came back of holiday last Wednesday so am assuming there was an update. Doesn't seem to work as good as it did, I/e doesn't like it if the NPC or Zone line is too far away.
Before I went on Holiday, for example as soon as I zoned out of Lobby and clicked on find MQ2Nav would set path and take me to any toon or zone line in PoK. Now it wont. it either says cant find npc ot too far away and I have to move closer before it works.

BTW this mac will take your toon upto 20 reasonably quick ( will take them all the way to 50 if you have the patience lol)
 
Knightly updated Level10.mac (Get a char to level 10 with Red Wine) with a new update entry:

Update Spawn to be by ID - other minor updates

There are probably a lot of things that can be done to improve this macro, but it's not really something I use a lot -- so, I just fixed the errors that were happening as a result of the Nav changes and made some other minor fixes. I tested this from Crescent Reach, but I only did it with one character (versus the 8 I did before) so if there are other problems please let me know. :)

@Narrock Thanks for the report, there were a couple issues I found and fixed, but that one was an issue with /nav spawn name "Whatever" so I just switched it to navigate by ID instead.
 
Ah, it appears that when I cleaned up some of the code I took out the check to make sure you have enough in the shared bank.

I'll fix it in the morning, but yes -- 2000p is about right.
 
can use this code to replace buy.inc

would still need a check to see if you can afford all the wine or buy as much as you have money for.

Code: 
    /delay 3s
    /invoke ${Merchant.OpenWindow}
    /delay 5s ${Merchant.ItemsReceived}
    /invoke ${Merchant.SelectItem[=Red Wine]}
\\check to see if we have enough money to buy 4000 wine, if not figure out the amount we can buy and change 4000 in the next two lines to that amount.
    /while (${FindItemCount[=Red Wine]} < 4000) {
        /invoke ${Merchant.Buy[${Math.Calc[4000-${FindItemCount[=Red Wine]}]}]}
        /delay 5
    }
 
no, i hate buy.inc with a passions!, id rather rewrite the same code a 1000 times than use it.!
 
So I found Buy.inc was Horrible So i went ahead and Modified this it use Mq2autoloot to buy The items and it makes it run a Million billion times better P:) here is my version if anyone wants to try

i know they nerfed the exp given by it a while ago.
Or is something else not working?

I usually just use the tutorial mac to get a toon up and rolling. Needs some attention but runs well.

This macro works well in Live, but it is not working in Next.
 
I thought I would try this macro, and I'm on Next.

Initially found it did not work, but..

1) I manually travelled to West Freeport, although MQ2EasyFind /travelto "West Freeport" should work (just not tested.)
2) Macro bought 4000 wines (I had pre loaded character with 10K plat.)
3) went to Lady Shae, but wanted to pick up a full stack of Wines....but all is not lost!
4) Read @morisato comments above re Buy.inc and Autoloot (I currently use Lootly), so looked at code and changed the one line; from "/call Buy "Red Wine" 4000" to "/autoloot Buy "Red Wine" 4000" (I needed to disable Lootly and reload Autoloot.) - now I did not properly test the Buy.inc, so it may still work (I just wanted to see if I could add in morisato's bit;)
5) To overcome the "trying to pick up stacks!", I headed over to @BigDorf's NeriakWine.mac and read his lovely Overview, where he explains each step (wonderful!) Thanks to him, I injected a "/ctrl" at the beginning of the line; /itemnotify "Red Wine" leftmouseup, where the mac is handing over the 4 Wines to Lady Shae, and that little hickup was sorted.
6) Noticed a lot of time spent waiting, so personally trimmed down a few of the "/delay" statements (some were 30s!) and the mac is banging out Wines to this drunken NPC at a fair rate...although tbh xp even at level 3 is slow!
7) I was thinking, if the xp rate was ok at 10, I could also play with the macros imposed end level of 10, as thats just the simple "/varset LevelToObtain 10" to change

Look I'm no coder, just wanted to feedback that even a nub like me can sit down with a coffee and look through some of the simpler macros and help the community with getting things working for all.

Hope the above helps to implement an iteration of this Level10.mac to benefit the community.
 
Is there a Level 1 INI files by any chance ? I know we can customize it , but just wondering if anyone made a list of starter INI files for all classes
 
here is a partially fixed level10.mac, it wont run you to freeport cause of the way it has implemented the movement system, but maybe one day it will.

but the turn in system is now ligthing fast, and umm does not use buy.inc and also should work if you have the wines in main inventory slots and not inside bags.

I have been using this macro now for 7 or 8 months with no problems, but now I am encountering an issue with it.

Whenever i run the macro it seems to be working fine for about 2 or 3 turn ins, then it keeps getting stuck and/or ending the macro leaving my character standing at Swin Blackfoot or Lady Shae and will not do anything until I restart the macro command. Is there a way to fix this at all?

UPDATE ----------- Everything seems to be working fine with the macro now. Maybe it was just a bug or something going on.

------------------------------

I do have a question though, is it possible to make the turn in rate faster? What I mean by this is how would you have your character hand over 1000 bottles to Lady Shae faster because currently it takes about 4 seconds or so between each 1k bottles that is handed over to her. Also would like to know if there is a way to make your character buy bottles of wine faster as well. Thank you
 
Just tried to use this for the 1st time, had to start it in west freeport as it would not travel from PoK, but it seems it does not work for Gnome Rogues, the bartender will not sell anything to a Rogue.

Sneak and stand behind him?
 
On test they put the NPCs back in but removed exp reward so really no use for this any longer unless you want to only improve faction.

For no particular reason I wanted to give my trader some xp, why do I feel bad they are level 1 for years...shrug. I did the CR Librarian quest and read it had been scaled back in reward, I had done it before and brand new character gets to 12..that is now Level 3-4, and it tells you in the reward window. A little sad, but ah well.
So I figure I'll head to Freeport and visit Lady Shae and do the red wine quest with Level10 macro. Done that plenty of times too...well she has been temporarily removed for xp exploit..figured I'd let others know. The other NPC is Neriak one. This is what they spend time on...I would imagine its TLP'ers complaints? I guess its worthless now for the macro.

Lokar To`Biath & Lady Shae removed | EverQuest Forums

I'm not sure if it was a bug, but when the NPCs for the red wine quests were removed, it caused the Paladin epic to become inaccessible. This is because...

By the way look at the nutty people liking the removal of something as low level as the wine quest..serious...?

Both NPC will be back, no xp.
