Plvling Zones lvl 1-70 (BARD MACRO)+(PLVLING)

Jumjum

I have a level 17 that I tested for about 20 mins this morning in Field of bones, everything was working great(but is was only about 20 mins)

still trying to tweak the target mac to work better for the lower level(thnaks Siddin and Redbot)

Hope that helps

let me know if you find out more
 
Field of Bone is great for lvl 12-18 I just started out in the arena north of the old rib cage. Everything is social. Then.... the 6th anniversary struck. FoB was full of people where before it had been me, and some lvl 8 monk. I moved to LoIO at 18 to the undead tower(near the windmill). This would have been great at 19 or 20, but at 18, the mobs resist a little much so it was slow going at first. No traffic by it though, even with the scavenger hunt going on. I stayed there til 31. Level 30 or so, I had to work snare into my macro when the mob got below 15%, or some of the goblins and iksar would run.

Another note, in FoB, I'd use the heal song, and warp back to target if I was at 100% health just to max out my defense and dodge. A little risky if someone is watching I suppose, but I hope worth it in the long run.
 
Im having a little trouble throwing in player / gm detection in (both) and the radius etc, does anyone have a working copy of this that would be willing to share with me? I'll be using it in HoH until i hit 65, thanks again in advanced!

(Btw i dont know what to set the radius at, was thinking 200-300 so i /warp succor /sit camp desktop before they get the chance to have my character on sight.
 
In addition. If anyone has the "target.mac" they can add it would be much appreciated. I have tried copying the one and pasting into notepad then putting in macros folder and can't get it to recognize file.
 
Got it thanks..guess the older version of Notepad at work wouldn't save it properly. Not sure why that is. I redid with mine and it worked fine. :o
 
Can anyone post loc to start kite in Jaggedpine. I cant seem to get it right end up getting stuck on rock tree fire pit or tent pole / tent. I tried 65 circle at north of fire facing east but if i get hit at all it moves me alittle and i end up getting stuck. Thanks
 
Kind of weird, I used to get hit alot but never would move my circle radius. What its suppose to do is keep you to that radius, so if you get forced off a foot or two, it will realign your character on the circle. As far as what your saying, i would just try a different circle. What I did was aggro the ones that would aggro me by range and pull them away, then i went in and started my circle and its kind of a trial and error. Just make sure when your trying your circle you dont run into the aggro'd ones as their coming back, thats a big mistake :)
 
Yea, I just hope people over-look and forget about it and it becomes the bard galore macroing grounds :)
 
I was looking for a spot to AFK PL (with my 65 bard) some lower lvl toons (43-55). PoV is good once they hit 55, but i need something i can do to get them to 55. Nadox seemed incredibly slow, and Dulak is way to populated on my server to AFK macro. The one thing that i haven't tried is PoN nightstalkers....does anyone have a /circle radius and center that they can toss me? I like to try to perfect my circle before I start kiting, but they see invis.
 
Nightstalkers seem to be camped all the time. Have you tried PoD? Plenty of places to hide there. I try to keep /circle on 45 so that mobs don't get out of range. Just make sure you have /nostun cause it hurts if you are kiting a lot of mobs and one stops you.
 
Can anyone give me a hand or tell me if there is a new target.mac for the afk bard macro? I do not knowanything bout making macros or even where to begin the twist macro works just fine...just cant get the targeting one to work or i dont even know if it is in Siddins latest post of mq2
 
http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=16&highlight=target.mac

Go to link and select the Code and Copy.
Open notepad. >Start>run notepad
Paste in blank
Save as target.mac

If you do have file where did you place it? I believe it goes in /macro folder but I'm not at the computer atm.

To run it type /mac target

I set two hotkeys, one to load, one to unload
Something like this.

LOAD
/plugin mq2twist
/plugin mq2moveutils
/plugin mq2warp
/docrack nostun on
/docrack noweather on

UNLOAD
/plugin mq2twist unload
/plugin mq2moveutils unload
/plugin mq2warp unload

Also hotkeys
Circle on
/circle on 45

Circle off
/circle off

Target
/mac target

Endmacro
/endmacro

OHOH
/warp succor (incase you get beat on)
 
Anybody still having luck in vxed? I tried for the first time tonight. Set the hotkeys and warped to the place that racecar said, but got aggro and beat on before I could do anything else. It's pretty late, and I don't feel like doing the CR, so just camped to try again tomorrow.
 
I have modfied the Target macro to stop running if no target aquired. makes you look less silly when there is nothing to do if someone is around. it also checks health and warps you to succor and then zones out to nearest zone. you will have to edit that part depending on where you are so that you don't crash EQ. but once health gets back up it sends you back in for more death. the command for it is currently:

/mac Target <CenterY> <CenterX> <CenterZ> <Radius>

this way you just make a short hotkey for it. I will put the code in when I get home. but it is just an edit of Zeds Target.mac. might need to clean it up a little what I want is to add the adjacent zone to the command line. then I could detect current zone and store it in a var. but I have been unsuccessful so far at that.

edit - ohh I also added working code to not target sergeant sticky buns at the vassal camp. been running for 15 hours no dead me!! yay :D what I would like to do is edit it so that there is a notargetmob.ini to read from and an add command that you could use to edit the ini. but that sounds more like plugin thing
 
Got it working on the second try. I know it's supposed to be afk macroing, but I sit here watching it laughing.
 
jmustful -

any particular spots in PoD? Sure enough, PoD on my server is usually completely empty, but i'm having trouble finding a spot. I tried the V-shaped island place, but there's really no safe place to park an alt, and the spiderlings path through there - necromancers with snare, root, mezz, nukes and DoTs..../shudder.
 
In PoD, once you zone in, follow the wall to the right(lev helps). The last island(peanut shaped) has some Vetri Flys(lvl 51) on it. I usually ran across it agroing them, then vear(sp?) left and grab some more Vetri flys from the next island and continue across the water to land. I'd manually do a few circles to bind them up closely along with a few Rat adds. Once they are all close together I'd go back down by the shore, near a rock on the wall and circle on 60. I was able to stay there for a few hours until I ran out of Fly and Rats after which I would pick up some Malerians that could snare me so I would have to zone out and start over. You may be able to find a better spot to circle since you wouldn't be able to afk there for more than a few hours without running out of the Flys and Rats. Good luck.

/agree that's a good spot use to be able to AE swarm kite them. Only problem I ran into was the flies tended to dot and snare. (See /warp kiting to help on this.) Gate will wipe dots...I've been down to 3% while gating and landed in home with no dots and 2% hps. Otherwise, warp succor and start again.

Other spot is the blobs and plague rats (not sure what they are called) heading along left wall. If you see spiders, that's too far. The blobs and rats are easy and to kite and don't cast on you. I keep circle under 70 or you lose speed running up hill and will take a hit. The spiders all cast but if you work your way to castle past them, you can do centipedes also.
 
A tip for those doing Vxed, make sure you warp up while under Kazuimi's (divine Aura).

The mobs will aggro on you so you definitely want to have DA up while you start your circle.
 
Theres been a coup;le of times where I messed up and had to succor then restart. If Kazumis is down you can invis in and do it also. Just be quick to start your circle. I always use kazumis though it it's availible.
 
Hello Everyone, I play a 70 rogue, and currently dont have much time to work on AA's but I have access to a lvl 70 Bard very well geared..Would you recommend using vxed as a good place to PL for me or is there another place I would be better off? Dont really know how to play a bard or really know there songs worth a crap heh..so any help would be very much apperciated..thanks

CrazyHorse
 
I have to say I still recommend HOH for aa's in Valorian Guard camp (not spirits they summon) There are 6 mobs plus Aton that will respawn in the time it takes to kill them all. Very little risk of others spotting you in that camp...however now it's public :)

The aa's come at a rate of 5-7 ticks per kill once in awhile you get a 9. It is easy to stop and loot every now and again to farm Spec/Ether Parchments as well and items that sell for 100-200pp to vendors or lore items that have 1147 tribute.

So the main reason I suggest this zone is that it is away from the crowd and doesn't affect anyone and keeps the attention of MQ2 down.
 
Okay here is what i did, Reactivated my 54 bard =D after finding the afk bard macro. I threw him in Dulak, there was a room i circled in got me to 55 and xp slowed down, think most of the mobs were light blue by then.

Lvl 55, was rough but i have not read about the vassel camp in PoV, so instead of that camp i found an area on the castle side of PoV to circle. The spiders and golems were lvl 61 and 62 hard to kill with a ton of ressist. I twisted 4 dots and 1 resist debuff (lvl55). Did this to lvl 60. I belive it was lvl 60 that these mobs in PoV start to run >_< spiders and golems, big trains would come back and kill me. So i said enought with PoV imma go look for more camps since this macro kicks butt and does what it says it will.

Lvl 60 HoH, I flagged my bard a WAY back for HoH. I tried the a few rooms in HoH.... didnt go well because they summoned. I saw a post by Sidden, Loc 1382 1215.35 . Sidden you ROCK. I have been swearing by that loc. Jess need to watch out for those RARE times when people raid the villagers. So yea lvl 60 circle on 40, 1382 1215.35 mac target twist 4 dots and selo or regen. got up to 65 and started AAs with the 60s line of dots. Same AA xp at 60 61 62 63 64 65. Was ticking 6% ever kill in those lvls, I have tested it, IF the previous lvl got more XP in AA then i would have deleveled and ran AAs. Its a good thing that 65 gets the same AA xp because there are stronger dots to use then the lvl 30s dot line. At 65 with all the new dots and the Muramite War drum, Critical affliction 3 i drop about 125 per tick 250 crits. so It comes out almost perfect for a nice cycle of non stop killing. Its very rare that there is nothing els to target. And again ya, at 65 im still getting 6% aa XP. So i have been doing that loc with those songs for a while. and will be doing it for a while more =). The newest AA i purchased was Instrument Mastery. the first instrument mastery got my damage from 125 to 134. So if i keep increasing it there will be faster kills because there is more damage being put out.

Well thanks for reading this! and Thanks for all tips guys hope it helps. Sidden and Infernal you guys ROCK. Gonna keep reading this forum so i can have an idea on where to go to next after a good sum of AAs are spent =P
 
Dam lol i reread that post like 5 times before i posted it and only now i see the mistaked =/ . Well with the drums 1 song tick does 125. and can crit for 250. After twisting 4 dots its about 500 a tick, If you have Critical affliction 3 you AVG 1 crit per tic of 4 dots. so you are like twisting 5 dots. Sometimes all 4 dots can crit in 1 tick thats 1k damage in 6 seconds >_<. But ya sorry i needed to make that clear =)

GL everyone
 
I got my Instrument Mastery to lvl 3 but don't have expansion for Afflication. Is there another way to get crit songs?

Current dots are 146 and I do camp with Anton. I believe if you just kill the 4 on the sides you will be fine but as soon as you pull from Anton side you risk being killed by the Invisible Hand (must be a MQ2 detection thing). Also mobs won't appear to respawn. That started after last update.
 
The invisible hand thing is also in other areas. I am thinking that its detecting a person in the same spot/radius for a given time, looking for repetitive behavior, who knows... Maybe like anti-camper in some quake servers?

Do NW Redroom it has 6 mobs so is better I just got done with HoH never had a problem there. /warp 1382.46 1215.55 -115.00

Then /circle on 120 1382.46 1215.55

But for even better exp (almost 3 blue a kill for 5 min kill at 65) get GoD and go to vexd. I use racecar's macro but changed circle to 70 cause I kept hitting torch thing. But other then that follow his directions exactly. I die once and awhile but the exp is well worth it. I went there at lvl 65 with only like 50 aa and had about 5500 hp. Now I have 6000ish and do great hardly ever die.
 
okay, I have been playing EQ for a long while. and I bought the expansions when they came out but I have never been to any GoD zones and don't know how to get there. I know this is not the typical usage of this forum. but how do I get to vexd exactly, and also what is some good gear to have. I am lvl 65 and only have 2k hp?

Vxed - The Crumbling Caverns and Vex Thal are 2 different zones. I am assuming you mean Vxed since Vex Thal takes a key that is made from 10 rare shard drops around Luclin. Vxed is instanced zone in the GoD expansion that you get by talking to Apprentice Udranda at (250, -750) in the Barindu zone. After you recieve the expedition follow the purple line on your compass will point the way into the dirt ravine behind her that leads to the entrance. GL(most this info was takin from Illia's)

Vxed is off of Barindu. You only need one person to start it, but you must have progressed far enough along in GoD progression to request the trial (requires smith rondo or the 4 sewers I believe).

You can try just running up to the apprentice woman and saying "Vxed" without the flags and see what happens.

I had the same question myself a few weeks ago, this should definatly help; or you can go to pages 6-7-8 and read up on all the posts on vxed on this thread.
 
LordMage you need way more hitpoints than that to survive in Vxed. If the misguided beluded creque flurried on you one time, you would be a goner. Get yourself some magnetic armor, boots of slaughter, armguards of repentance, dragnor's commoner ring, iron guantlets of protection, terror chain earring. Not sure what you have, but most of that you can get or buy in the bazaar at a decent price. Anything with hp's is what you want. Also make sure you have a good drum, get the muramite drum if you can, forget the name, and put a bloodstone of the dance in your ranged slot as well. Anyone else please feel free to chime in.
 
Muramite War Drum - however a few DoN missions at about 250 radiant crystals gets you a nice drum with a 31 mod...forgot name on that one hehe.
