i start the mission by saying accomplish and then say ready to sintal and it zones me in
Click to expand...

This is your problem.

1) Start the mission by saying accomplish
2) Target Sintal outside the mission, and Hail him. He will insult you but it will update the first part of the mission.
3) Target Sintal and say Ready to zone in and run the macro.
 
after getting mission i have tried hailing sintal he does insult me but task does not update
 
iam doing this with 3 peeps in group...is thre a minimum of peeps u need in group?...i would think just 3 since it gives mission with 3...just tried again and just get insults the task will not update when i hail sintal
 
not invise...he speaks to me rudely so i know iam not invise..first objective...speak with sintal about the summoning altars..i hail but this first task will not update..it stays 0/1...upon my hailing him he just speaks rudely and no update..i have no problem with updates on any other missions i do...they update just fine iam just boggled on this one
 
You can't be FD or have Div Aura/Garrier/Harmshield on either.

If you have 3 people in the group try having someone else in the group hail him. It doesn't matter who. does. Then just have the character that is going to actually do the work inside say "Ready"
 
i have tried that...if i can just get it to update before i zone in iam good...but i cant get it to update...just done the lost notebook no problem..not sure why iam having problems with this..thanks
 
Try having a different toon in the group hail him. It can be anyone in the group, doesn't need to be the person running the mission.
 
i wish it was that easy....i am so boggled over this.i get mission by saying accomplish and when i hail sintal i cant get a update...i just dont understand.i can zone in and run macro then i get a update on the other part but cant get one before i zone in...get this i invited someone else into my group and asked them to hail sintal for me and it worked for them...just so u know iam just useing 3 bots of my own...so guy droped group and i zoned in and ran mac just fine and the stone part updated...but when i had to go back in and hail the inside version i ran into the same situation as outside...bah

Does anyone by chance have the actually number locs for each alter, I am rather stupid and can't get the macro to run for me. But I can warp to each alter than warp out easy enough with the loc for each, I have already gotten one alter and its loc is... -53.50, 430.64, 5.00. If anyone can drop the number coordinates for the other three alters I would greatly appreciate it.
 
I believe the altars change locations each mission, you have to target the altars then warp to them.
 
Ah,ok. Well then can anyone tell me the comman to target each then, like in the lavastorm MM the command to target each gnome is /target A_Gnomish_Hostage01....02..03...etc. Thanks in advance, I would try the macro but any time I try and copy and paste it to word pad then to Mq2 it causes my everquest exe. to crash.
 
I can not get the macro to run. I have had no problem getting mission. when I try to run the macro I get a error message that says it can not parse the open bag command. Here is the code for the macro that I cut and pasted into wordpad:

|sabotage.mac - 5 Jan 2006
|By Persnickety

Sub Main

/declare i int local
/declare bag int local
/declare slot int local 22

|-- Opens all bags to access the stones
/for bag 1 to 8
/if (${InvSlot[${slot}].Item.Container}) {
/if (!${Window[pack${bag}].Open})
/itemnotify pack${bag} rightmouseup }
/delay 1
/varcalc slot ${slot}+1
/next bag

|-- Warp to each of the four altars and turn in the stones
/for i 0 to 3
/target npc altar0${i}
/if (${Target.ID}) {
/ctrlkey /itemnotify ${FindItem[=A Dampening Stone].InvSlot} leftmouseup

/notify GiveWnd GVW_Give_Button leftmouseup
/delay 20 !${Window[GiveWnd].Open}
/delay 1
/notify GiveWnd GVW_Give_Button leftmouseup
/echo Altar0${i} finished. }

/next i

|-- Warp to Sintal and leave the instance
/target sintal
/warp target
/delay 2s
/say leave

/echo Zone back in and hail Sintal for your reward!
/endmacro


I have been using text document format for the save. Is this right? Any suggestions. Just want to hook my peeps up with ears and a few trinkets but getting really frustrated.

You have a couple line breaks in yours that werent in the original posting. I attached the mac file to this post, see if it works for you.
 
The attached file is nothing new, its just for the person who was having trouble with copy/paste and saving the code from the very first post in this thread. So if you are able to do that, you arent missing anything with the attached .mac file. =)
 
Also! I just noticed that you said you saved in wordpad. You need to be careful when doing that. If you choose the wrong format, it will insert a lot of unnecessary formatting junk into the file. I think wordpad defaults to saving as rich-text format, which will totally mess up the macro for our purposes. You're better off using notepad, I think. But if you must use wordpad, make sure you save it as a plain text document with no extra formatting.
 
i still cant get first update after hailing sintal...bah..:(
i have been boxing 3 or 4 characters when getting the mission,i tried inviting another person to my botted group and when they hailed sintal it worked fine,then they dropped group,well...that was cool but after i ran macro u have to zone back in and do the hail... and u know it...still would not let me hail...come on peeps figure this out for me :)
 
Well I tried changing to notepad but I couldn't load the plugin, I am using Codecasters pre compiled version of Mq I am not sure if this would have anything to do with it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what i would need to do besides just copy paste and stick in Macro folder as my friend had told me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Save as somename.mac in notepad. Then save this file into your macro folder inside the release folder. Then in game do /mac whateveryousaveditas

Ok yeah this is not a plugin, a plugin must be compiled and will end up witha .DLL extension. This is a macro so when you copy and paste it into your notepad make sure you save it at SABATOGE.MAC or FRUITY.MAC or whatever.MAC then just /macro Sabatoge or /macro Fruity or /macro Whatever to run the macro.
P.S. with a macro that does not end but stays running you need to type either /end ot /endmacro to stop it.
NOT /unload /unload will unload macroquest for you
 
Thanks, the new version works like a charm. Incredible. I will remember not to use wordpad in the future for cut and paste operations.
 
/sniffle

Guess tonite is it for this one. I never did get a good run of wands like some, but I have 8 or so stashed on corpse banks.

I have had a lot of trouble with camped mobs at zone-in. I finally made a hotkey to /warp loc -1278 468 46, which is by the "Recluse Canyon" exit. The exit doesn't really take you to Recluse Canyon, it just dumps you at normal zone-out.

So as soon as realize I'm getting hit...

1) Warp hotkey

2) wait 5 seconds, hit /fade

3) scroll up on map to verify if the chest is clear, wait until clear

4) /warp succor, loot, and exit.

BEWARE! The summoned drachnid will appear there at random, so you cannot go afk inside the mission. Don't even switch screens for more than a few seconds or you may die... Using the 2 warp hot keys and fade, you can stay inside until you can loot. better than zoneing in and out over and over...

Sometimes I'll go 10 mission without a hitch, then some !@#$ sits and camps Sintel.

GL to all...
 
I have been boxing this with 2 70's and a 68 and I seem to only get normal mission...how do i get hard?
 
Well -- I will share my break-down of the last 48 Missions that I have kept track of. I have done this mission about 20 times before I started keeping track of it, I think I recieved about 6 Wands in those twenty time. However, the last 48 missions I kept track of I recieved:

Hardened Drachnid Chitin Boots --- 25

Molted Drachnid Chitin Helmets --- 30

Voodoo Wands -------------------16

Bloodforged Plate Greaves --------14

Augs ---------------------------- 27

For a total of -------------------- 112 Total Chest at the End!

(I have kept every Item I recieved from the mission to sell slowely after the missions get "fixed".)

It was a fun Ride while it lasted --- WOW --- (Not to mention, I have done this mission to equip all my alts with the Earrings and the Charm spot along with getting helm for my Druid....

Thanks for a Great Macro!!!

Ice.
 
i bought DoDH few mns ago so here is stupid newby question :
where is taskgiver and how do i reach his zone?

thks folks
 
There are several taskgivers in several zones Dreadlands has 2 or 3 and swamp of no hope has some, POK has a few. Best way to figure it out is find the ones in PoK . There are 2 for sure that if your 70 will tell you you are to high for thier tasks and give you nams of other taskmasters to seek out and what zones they are in
:cool:
 
I think they meant the DoDh missions, like Sabotage.

To get that one you need to talk to Cali-something.

Just /zone westkorlach, /tar cali and /warp target. (Yes I am incredibly lazy. Even with 2 accts under suspension I refuse to run anywhere through DoDh)
 
And let us say goodbye, to this awsome mission, now you have to kill an XX amount of spiders to complete =( and no more multi chests
 
This one was a real gem. I spent the weekend selling the mission completion rewards and chest items since the nerf was coming down today, made about 800k in a weekend, in addition to all the attunable items I've got saved on my alts for selling post-nerf :)
 
Sorry, I am a hard-core Wizard and couldn't find my ass in Norrath without using a TL spell... :D

Seriously, I use "Undershore" Gate/Portal/TL as appropriate, cast lev/invis and/or Travel Song (since I use a Bard to run the mission), /speed 3, and run NW diagonal until I find Stoneroot Falls zone-in (it's a cave). Once there, I leap over the ledge, point straight down, and corkscrew my way down and NorthEast to the taskgiver (middle of East Wall on the cavern floor). It's a long way down so enjoy the view on the way, lol.

Course, this is all theoretical for me. There's no way I can solo the mission now...

I will inventory my loot and post results later. I can say for sure that I got more legs and less wands during my runs than Iceman did. Like half as many wands and twice as many legs.

What would be interesting to me, probably to all of us still reading this thread, is what prices are you getting for these items now that the mission is nerfed? I'll bet those still selling stuff for 5K are gone by the time I get home tonight, and these items will be on the rise for 6-8 weeks before the prices stabilize somewhere around thier true market value in relation to other items. POR will have it's own items which may affect bazaar prices further, of course.

The legs seems to be worth about 40K on my server, though I haven't tried to sell any yet. For some reason, Melee legs are in short supply in that HP range on my server (Caster legs have finally come down some in price). Everything else is in the 15-20K range, just guessing, except for the wand.

What would you say--100K? 150K? 200K? The Voodo Wand has much better stats than the Dagger of Thought (same proc), and does not have the negative proc modifier, ~BUT~, the Dagger has better damage and has lower level requirements. The dagger goes for at least 100K.

Since this is a caster item, stats are more relevant than damage ratio, so I would think the wand is worth significantly more than the dagger.

Anyway, I am just speculating on the fly. I don't yet know what my prices will be. Please post your thoughts on this, since I suspect I was one of the very few on my server farming the 65-normal drop table. The bazaar has been flooded for 2 months with the higher level drops, while I have yet to see ANY of the wands, etc. for sale in my bazaar.

'Preciate it...
 
Have the loots changed? the spiders dont hit for that much when you have shome shrouded down. This is still doable. And if you shroud the guys down get mission then unshroud will the mission still be lower level?
