Issue: It's not waiting for my toon to actually kill the Invading Gnoll Pup before returning to PoK.
Running via Next on a lvl 15 monk.

Have to look at it.
/while (${Combat}) {
/delay 1s
}
Probably should be
/while (${Me.Combat}) {
/delay 1s
}

Apologies for delayed follow-up... Correcting that line in the macro works.
I'm running into some other bugs too. I'll make time later to run through it again and document them.

 

[Cannonballdex]

Not sure what could be wrong other than killing the invading gnoll. I've ran this 100 times without problems. That's what happens when you test with a level 115 then someone runs a script with a level 15 haha.

This worked really well! I ran into a couple of things that could be done better, but overall good macro.

Short term fixes:
1.) If you have a merc already, you get stuck at the mercenary quest since you can't complete the hiring step. This eventually times out and moves on, but it shouldn't.
2.) Once you do the merc task, you might want to suspend the merc so it's not costing money.
3.) Most windows are closed, but the zone guide is left open.

Mid term fixes:
1.) You can read the tasks to see what steps are needed rather than assuming the tasks were accomplished.
2.) You can select the rewards, I don't know if this was a choice or not -- but since there's not multiple, there's no choice to be made.

Long term fixes:
1.) I believe you can get all the tasks at the same time, you don't have to do them linearly. This might speed things up quite a bit as there's a lot of traversal between zones that could be done in parallel.

Overall great job though, didn't have to much and just watched my character run through all the tasks!

Couple more notes, the killing of the gnoll runs to a specific spot rather than navigating to the spawn (there are three) and if that is down you’re stuck. Better to navigate to the spawn.

You don’t need the meshes in the first post anymore. The ones in the mesh repo work (and I uploaded one of yours).

Are you using the latest one? It should be /nav spawn invading

This macro I agree needs some work. Usually I would make these when I have 30 ish toons I want to do something and rather than manually do them, I try to make a macro and as I am testing it, I get through a few toons successfully and let it go.

As you can see by most of my macros I only have half a clue about what I am doing. I appreciate the feedback and will eventually revisit my resources as learning permits. I look back on some of my first macros and say to myself, wow this is really messed up, I can't believe it actually worked. LOL

 

[Knightly]

Yeah, you want /nav spawn npc invading to avoid navigating to a corpse. Also possible it was killed while navigating to it.

No worries, I wasn’t expecting (or needing) fixes, just wanted to make sure it was documented so you knew in case you were doing more work on it later.

 

[Cannonballdex]

Funny thing is, that came up about the corpse in my testing, so I added /hidecorpse all before the navigation, but that probably wasn't the best choice, it's what I was thinking at the time. Then I thought what are the odds that there won't be an invading gnoll up when I get there. lol

Cannonballdex, used the macro tonight in POK on six toons, I staggered them to attract less attention. Worked pretty great!

The first toon to finish completed all of the quests. The rest failed to purchase the adventuring bottle from the market. The macro would come to an end on all and the Using the Market was still at the purchase stage. I completed this step manually by providing a zip code. I'm not sure if this is a known feature of the market or not.

My only issue is that I haven't been able to find out how to finish the quest. Hailing the npc just opens the quest select window but doesn't complete the quest.

Yes, the zip code can be required to verify an account. If this happens you would have to start the macro again and it should skip the bottle the next time once you already claimed one. Really nothing I can do with the zip code requirement as I wouldn't want to just automatically enter a zip code there to continue.

in the overview
If you have never made a purchase from your account in the Marketplace
| you will need to purchase a free item and enter your zipcode before running this macro or the task won't finish

 

[EQ74]

Sweet. I missed that in the overview. And the account that had no issues is my old account, so it makes perfect sense.

Again, I appreciate the macro and think it works great!

Just wanted to say I appreciate this macro. It works mostly great. I did a couple of tweaks to it. It should accomplish the Giuild tour now and it checks the accomplishments to see which tasks need to be accomplished. It still runs all around the zone instead of doing it in parallel though. Again I like it a lot.

@goku551 I haven’t used the POK mac in a few years. I saw your update/tweak. Do you use the regular meshes. Or do you use the meshes that CBD listed in the post from 2021?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I liked this macro in the past and was hoping to use it again.

Thanks.

hello, I know you not asking me, but I am also try to use this. works almost perfekt for me too. I use normal update nav mesh from navmesh updater in mq. not old ones from this first post 2021.
when I am using this, character gets almost all items in the "task" list in description. then return to tutorial zone "Arias" NPC. but character not get things like house and many other items in "tasks" list.
I am still very happy to use it. just give you my feedback thinking maybe you know how to fix so it get every task. ty!
