There are many,well alot vxed macros but i havent seen any that gets expedition on its own. Of course this macro is based on one of the AFK Bard.

For this macro uses MQ2Twist , MQ2RWarp (or alike) ,MQ2Cast and MQ2Moveutils
This macro must be started in Barindu at Vxed zoneline without Expedition or already inside Vxed and killing mobs
Spell make up is
1 Selos
2-5 Dots
6 Regen
7 Kazumis ( DA )
9 Selo's Song of Travel
If you dont have nine spell gems just mem Selo's Song of Travel in 8th gem and change in the macro the /sing 9 parts to /sing 8
This macro does use cacophony aswell but only if you have a hotbutton of it on 4th position of the your main hotbutton list. Macro does /keypress 4 , basicly at begining of each mob the macro trys to use cacophony ,it makes a very good timing on time spent killing a mob and doesnt use the ability when mob is already at 20% HP.

And here is a very simple macro i use for my alts to site next to camp and leech the xp. You char will be out of agro range so even if your bard dies alt wont.Character using this macro must be infront of the vxed zine line (hole) when he is being added or gets the expedition

Rich (BB code):
#turbo
#event Expedition "The direction to the entry to your instanced zone(s) have been marked on your compass."
#event barindu "You have entered Barindu, Handging Gardens."
#event dead "You have been slain by#*#"

	/echo Got expedition. Making ready to zone.

	/keypress up hold

	:vxedloop
	/doevents
	/if (${Zone.ShortName.Equal[Vxed]}) {
		/echo Waiting 60s before Warping
		/delay 600
		/warp loc 181.13 -135.53 485.46
		/face heading 230
	} else {
		/goto :vxedloop
	}
/return


Sub event_barindu
	/echo In barindu waiting for new Expedition
/return

I use an afk bard macro in vxed occassionally, and I still have problems with the named getting dotted and eating me. I might try this out, but I'll be honest... I might be hesitant to because of the use of cacophony at the beginning of the mobs. If you get the named targeted and you lag a little there might be a decent chance of you insta-dotting the named.

anyway, i'll try it and see what happens :) thanks man.
 
I have never done any of the vxed macros but have thought about making a custom one for my own situation. Any input that would help with this would be helpful.

#1 I do not want it to automatically get mission. I would start mac manually before going to bed and before going to work.

#2 After 5.75 hours I want macros to camp toons to desktop.

#3 6 lvl 70 toons will be in expedition.

#4 Brd,Rng,Enc,Clr,Pal and Dru

#5 Bard runs macro like what is posted here to pull mobs.

#6 Pally will heal brd if her health drops below 70% and defend himself if attacked.

#7 Enc,Rng,Dru will assist Pally if attacked

#8 Clr will run standard healer mac

The goal here is to as safely as possible get a little exp during the time I can not be at the keyboard. I would rather get 2 aa's per day with a 1/1000 chance of getting banned than 20 aa's per day with a 1/100 chance of getting banned. Also I believe this plan will greatly reduce the chance of anyone dying during expedition.

What I am looking for here is input positive/negative on the feasability of my plan.

Also are there any cleric macros available that will target members of the group and if they are a corpse, rez them? I would like to add this to my version of Yammers mac.
 
What would be easier (to me) is if your bard got low, you set your healer up to heal him, then succor to zoneline with cleric, fade and warp back to where he was before. That's what I do manually but I don't have it setup to do it automatically. :)

You clearly missed his whole "I don't want to get banned" plan. LOL Warp, succor and fade while AFK probably increase your chance of getting shown the door by quite a bit.
 
Thx for the input eqisdead

I would prefer not to warp in case SOE chooses one of my accounts to do a log check on. If I only had the Brd and the Clr it might be worth the risk to keep the Clr alive. If the pally gets aggro I feel confident he will keep it till the mob dies. Adding a rez sub tho would pretty much guarantee I would stay up for the full expedition.
 
So you're going to try to kite mobs at the entrance then? Since without warp you can't get up to the circle usually used by bards to kite (unless you run up and fade agro and all... but that still leaves your bots at the zone in).

**edit** to add more info...

Additionally, you'd have to give a little more info. Like I mentioned above, you're going to have to set up a spot to kite this stuff. The problems I see you running into are:

a) You need to find a spot to kite where all your bots can be sitting outside of agro range, but inside healing range for the pally.

b) It needs to have few enough mobs that if you get hit on a respawn that triggers a heal from the pally, you're not kiting 5 or 6 mobs (that all bumrush your group and wipe you)...

c) It has to have enough mobs that you're not wasting time by only killing one mob every 5-10 minutes in order to avoid problem b).

d) If you do happen to get all the mobs dead that the bard trained your group with, then you need to figure in having to move the group back to their original spot, and having the bard restart his circle and target mac, which is probably the easiest of the issues to overcome, if I had to guess.
 
Do most of the mobs in vxed see thru invis? Most of the group would be invis unless the situation got hairy. I could set up enc mac to mez any mob in range with aggro on pc other than bard/pally (using HoTT info)...

I used to have a nice spot in Rcod but I traded the spot to someone, stupid stupid deal but I honor my agreements.

If someone wants to recommend a nice location where single pulls are fairly consistant (a few doubles are ok) then I would be happy to work on setting it up.
 
anyone thought about making one of these for wizzies now that they have insta cast nukes?

insta burn down till your mana pool is about gone then evac med, rinse repeat?
 
workin on something for roots for wizzy, but this is bad place to afk hehe, but if anyone knows a instance where kiting exp is decent at 75 would be appriciated..
 
OK Think Bard now with insta cast spells .... different then spell casting everything is done on the move with relation to an escape route if needed ... Can see it now a wizzy doing circles and casting ... omg lmao

Why not circle and twist like a bard ... your doing the same thing except your twist is one spell gem not 3 or 4 ..... Down side is manna Bards do not use it when kiting ....
 
Wondering if someone can help me out with this. Everything runs great except it doesnt seem to get the expedition for me again after I have been booted. I have come back twice now to my bard sitting outside the vxed entrance still singing.

Anyone have any clues? I didnt touch the code at all just copied and pasted it into a new mac.
 
Havent used this mac latly, but just tested it and i see the problem.Mac no longer targets stoneshifter when he zones out so but next npc in the valley which is to far away.
I will try to fix it asap.

EDIT- Cant test atm but i think it should work
 
Curious if anyone could tell me how much aaxp you get at 70 using this? My bard is 65 atm and im getting 9 to 11% per kill so I make about an aa per hour but im starting to die a bit more than I would like to heh. Only have 4k hps unbuffed, thinking about pushing to 70 in there and seeing if I can live a bit longer but not sure if it would be worth it if the xp drops off alot at 70.
 
At 70 you get around 2% from the 64 mobs, 4% from 65mobs and 5% from the 66mobs. You wont be killing so much faster either, at least i dont think so. So if you want fast xp its prolly still better at 65.
