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

Im thinking the difference in the number of AAs is the factor here. This guy could have maxed skills or something to that effect. Epic weapon also. Im using karana drum and only have 8 AAs at the moment. DOTs are doing 89 a tick, and with luck and no missed notes its about a 9 minute kite.

Edit - PoV % and time for the zone comparison, for Infernals list.

Let PoV run 12 hours with zero on the AA bar. At about 10 minutes a kite, level 62, exactly 5% a kill, after 20 vassals you get 1 AA. Roughly 3 hours and 20 minutes per AA it seems. Im guessing there's faster zones, but I haven't tried any, and this one seems like the least amount of risk invovled.

I took Racecar's macro for never getting summoned posted previously and altered it abit to try to use it in PoV. Here is the changed version to include the three spawns you get that summon after you kill enough vassals.

Im getting an error: No such 'string' member 'equal'
in the mq2 window. It will still target the diseased guard, but goes on to stoptwist and /twist 1 2 3 1 3 4.

Could anyone tell me what I need to tweak to get this one running?

Thanks
 
The main problem is that you have multiple GainEXp subs. You can only have one. Put all of the nameds into the one sub.
For example:
Rich (BB code): 
sub event_GainExp
/stoptwist
/tar npc next
/delay 10
/IF (${Target.Name.Equal [An Undead Doorman]}) {
/target npc next
/delay 30
}
/IF (${Target.Name.Equal [Sergeant Terrick Burns]}) {
/target npc next
/delay 30
}
/IF (${Target.Name.Equal [A Diseased Guard]}) {
/target npc next
/delay 30
}
/twist 1 2 3 1 3 4
/return

Now, I see an immediate issue, in that you could conceivably target one mob you don't want, then get another mob you don't want on your target npc next. This never happens in Vxed because there isn't more than one type of mob that summons (with my circle).
 
Ok im having trouble hehe.

Can someone give me loc or exact spot in Halls of Honor to get AA grind xp?
I am not sure where exactly to go and i got killed in the first 15 minutes lol.

Help would be greatly appresheated! :D
 
Aye thanks, i got another one too, however i fergot the fellows name that give the info to me (dont be mad, im bad w/ remembering names :) ). I'll update the List in a few mins.

An Undead Doorman doesnt summon

I watched as he summoned me out of my macro about a minute ago. You ought not give out false info if you aren't sure. You owe me some exp grover.

Lieutenant Baelin Dwinn = according to Alakhazams doesnt summon

Undead Doorman = According to me - SUMMONS.

Sergeant Terrick Burns = summons.

Diseased Gaurd = summons.
 
can someone post a spot form 51 to 55 with loc and info so i can get my bard up only aa's i go is innate run 3

i would like to find a spot that i can sit alts that they can be safe to suck xp

can we get loc's for startin the macro's on your guide infernal that would prob help a bit
 
Yup, my bad its the An Undead Footman who does not summon. Sorry.

I'm level 54 asI type this running around the Windscorn (boat 5) in Dulaks. Experience is slow, but with a Karana drum and 4 DoT's it goes smoothly at least. No one goes to that boat so I haven't had a problem. Going on 2 days now non-stop with the macro. Got from barely 51 to 54. I expect to be 55 by tonight. With 0% going towards AA I'm getting 0.9% exp per kill.
If you want I'll post the center of my circle here when I get home tonight.

check my prior post about body guards in EW. This thread is full of good info if you read it all.

no prob grover - i was just playin. lost EXP is nothing to b!tch about anymore, since I level in my sleep now lol...


edit - just remembered something when I read the last post - 2 days running is around the time the server kicks you for being inactive. I am not sure what the actual time is, but twice I've found myself at desktop and dead, with the loggin screen saying something about kicked due to inactivity. Dunno where or if you can turn this option off at, but It would pay to stop macro, camp out and start all over again to minimize deaths from getting unplugged by the server.
 
Grab 3 AAs for Innate Runspeed and go to Nadox, i found it a great XP place at 55 - 62. :)
 
Heya, looks like the PoV 'Vassal' Camp has changed ALOT since I have been there last, but ohh well, I will try to make up for it with this information on it!

Location: Same as the first
Circle on 89 -872 793

Had to PL a couple toons to 62 and kept waking up to Greenday - 'Haha your dead, In loving memory of your demise!' Playing on my speakers..

Here is the what I use for a target, never much liked those /if target equals, then target something else..

That should keep you busy with mobs, had yet to run out of vassals!!

Ohh, and if you set up a looter in a safe spot, you can walk out with about 500p+, and a Eparchment an hour!! I use -900, 900 as my safe spot.. but to each his own!~
 
Your targeting macro works great if there is only one requirement to avoiding summoning mobs (> 67), but in vxed where multiple different levels and types can summon you, you are stuck with a targeting macro featuring NPC names.
 
Racecar or anyone else

Well, after my run-in with the law, I have given up on on HoH. So I moved onto Vexed. I have donr everything just like Racecar said and so far everything is working great. My question is where can I park my other toon so that he is close enough to get xp as well. Right now bard, is at the loc Racecar gave, very top room in the middle, and other toon is at zone in, and he is not getting xp. Is this a solo only zone, or is there a safespot that i can warp him to? Thanks.
 
You got busted in HoH Lang? You get petitioned? What was the result?
I have some tool tell me he has petitioned me a few times. Thing is I was there when he was telling me he was petitioning. And any time a gm has zoned in I wasnt afk.
I too will be headed to HoH soon and would also like to know where to park an alt.
 
You can park an alt in the top NW corner of the spirit room. If possible warp in your second toon invis to undead, or get the loc of the corner before hand.
 
Thx Race, but I am not that familiar with HoH. Where is the Spirit Room? Is that where Sid's HoH mac takes ya? Is there a loc?
 
Ah, I was actually referring to Lang's post and Vxed.

For HoH I would kite the red rooms (they are sometimes referred to as the north camp) and just place the people I wanted to PL on the stone alter thingy at one side of the room.
 
Any safe spots to park an alt in the vxed instance using Racecar's loc?

Can anyone explain to me how to go about and head to Vex Thal and how/what i need to get into the zone and where to go etc, I would like to add the zone info on the list if you guys could help me out. Thanks in advanced.
 
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)

Zepher
 
Ahh yes, Vxed, sorry about that, and thank you for the info.
Btw, does this need 3 people to start?
Thanks again in advanced.
 
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'll try this and see what happends, btw, do we have any type of offset that will let me zone w/out flag? Could strech this for higher end zones too but can try it on this zone for safety.
 
I have been living in Vxed this past week. You dont need any flags, just need to be levl 65 to get the expedition. Exp is good, just be prepared to die alot, so far I think I have managed to survive all 6 hours twice, most of the time I usually die 3 to 4 times. Not sure if I don't have my compass right on east, or what. Sometimes I get stuck on that one torch, to solve this problem I have been shrinking myself. What's getting me now is just random pathing I guess, man those mobs can wail on you.
 
And experience is still worth it? Im 62 right now in HoH, is it worth hitting 65 and going to Vxed (and having to watch your guy every 2 hours)?
I can answer that myself unless xp is INSANE in vxed.
Long 24-32-48 Hours in HoH and havent been killed 1ce, it sounds and probably is better in many different ways to stay 62 in HoH and get as many AAs as possible for all the abilities that dont require level caps.
Any Ideas/Inputs on this?
HoH > Vxed ?
 
Only problem with HoH.... Only takes 1 time for a peep to have a bad day and see you running perfect circles for 10 hours straight while he is grinding away in the other room, so he does a /who all gm and BLAMO. Vxed is nice a lonely, which is just the way you want it. As far as insane exp.... HoH isn't even close. The deaths you take in Vxed are just like the deaths in normal groups easily made up for by the shear amount of exp you wil get.

Besides at 63 you get better DoTs and at 66-67 even better...remember the higher you are the more HP's, mana, Spells you will also have which all equal faster kills. Not to mention the mobs in Vxed don't have any more hp's then HoH guardians do, or at least they sure seem to drop just as fast. ( been awhile since I did HoH). Now 2-3 years ago..HoH was the shit 8)

But it all depends on your playstyle really.. Me ... LVLs > all
 
I was wondering the same thing. Would Vxed>HoH? Grinding away in HoH atm. Lvl62 with 95aa's, bout 7 min a kill and 6%aa per kill. It just seemed slow compared to what the Vxed peeps were saying. Just last night I was contemplating the same thing - maybe I should just level to 65 and head to Vxed and worry bout the aa's there.
 
Yes im wondering, however, i hear in Vxed you die a lot and you need like what, 4k + HP to stay alive 50% of the time for the 6 hours? The 6 hour cycle is not the problem for me, its just the matter of being able to get better AA Xp. Is it better AA xp at 65? :)
I think im going to just add player detection on me for HoH but im guessing that will just drastically decrease the XP per/day so unless Vxed is better XP (in % per kill) i'll continue to do HoH.
(wish i was pofire flagged :) )
Btw does anyone know/remember how to get flagged for fire w/ the warp trick ? or did that take more than just a warp? I remember reading on something about warping just after the door (under it) and it would zone you into PoFire + PoFire Flag. Anyone got some info on that they would like to share please let us know.
Thanks again in advanced.
 
My bard is 67 using 4 dots, will have to time tonight how long it takes per kill. With two people in group doing 100% aa for both, I am getting about 2 blue per kill at level 67 and for level 65, 3 blue per kill. I do know that in one night 6 hours straight doing regular xp I got one yellow and half to make it to 67 with a 2 person group. Even if you do die 3 to 4 times, I still get 4 to 5 aa's every 6 hours. Plus the most important thing, no players to mess with you. That's what happened to me in HoH, some dude had a bad day, saw me running around dropping mob after mob and I get petitioned and a tell from a GM. So just depends, I will take Vxed any day, and not have to deal with a bunch of jerks.
 
Per toon, I get more aa's with the level 65 toon of course, but still even at 67 for bard it is still good.
 
Ok cool. That settles it then. Up to 65 and on to Vxed. Which macro is everyone using in Vxed, and where is the alt parked?
 
Agreed, that sounds much much faster.
BTW, I did encounter a problem in HoH, make sure you use Player Detection is all i will say :) I didnt get cought yet but i was petitioned. Since then i moved all my stuff to my 3rd accnt and will start that bard (lvl 26) and lvl him up also (using player detection ofcourse). I'll probably be grouping the new bard with a wizard, depending on if i want to use a wizard as my main or my necro.

So my tip for the month is: Use GM and Player Detection at ALL TIMES! :)
 
I made a bard to test the macro and everything but I am having trouble kiting at lvl 13.I set him up to run through an orc camp and worked good but was kinda slow...also had a problem with the casters healing the mob I was hurting and then the caster blasting me which made the kiting process even slower. Any idea where to go at lvl 13 to kite where no casters are at? or they dont run?
