Research can be such a pain in the ass. I was thinking it could be simplified (not by me, this is above my skill level).

The big time sink, besides farming pages, is placing the 8+ items in the ts container. Searching through your inventory, clicking blah blah. What if there was a selection box that had all the common ts items names (Vendor bought) in it. Then if you click on a link with the name of the item you want (that is in your inventory), it would be moved into your TS container.

This would be very similar to the Guild portal selection macro. You click on the item name and it buys the piece and hands it to the portal guy.

Thoughts?
 
I use two macros the first I call ccombine.mac This is short for container combine. IE a in inventory fletching kit or other item.

You edit the macro. Set the items, save the macro. Then open the container and hit experiment. Then you run the macro with the materials in your bag.
IE: /macro ccombine.mac

The second macro is for environmental items such as a forge. I call it combine.mac

You edit the macro. Set the items, save the macro. Then open the environmental container and hit experiment. Then you run the macro with the materials in your bag.
IE: /macro combine.mac

One of these days when I get off my lazy butt, I am going to write one that combines both of these into one file, but this works for now.

These are both slightly modified versions of macros written by other people

Make guidestones :-)

http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=5991&menustr=035000000000

Trivial at 402 and only two items needed, one looted, one purchased. Portable container.

considering research has the most recipes to learn it would be hard to automate. you will need close to 5k or more recipes to get to 350 skill unmodded. Last i checked it was in the ball park of 5700

I am not looking to "Automate" it completely. I am looking to make it easier to put items in the container. The issue is there are like 50+ Vendor bought items. It sucks clicking through bags and stuff to select one of each item (up to 8 total) and placing them in the container. If One could select it from a list (similar to the guild portal stone selector) and put the vendor items in by a simple click into the container then hit combine (after putting in the one rare item in by hand).... This would be a HUGE time saver.. HUGE. Considering it takes 50+ combines for one skill up point. Think about it, at 50 combines and 8 items per combine that is 400 items you have to hand select out of your bags to put in your container. My hands hurt thinking bout it...
 
thing to do is look at the alchemy potion macro and see how its laid out. it would involve the find in inventory window finding the tlo to get the item then put that item into the container.
 
I was thinking more like MQ2Portalsetter plugin. Where the names would be items and be placed in container when clicked on. If it had a configurable table for ts items and container to use..... THAT WOULD BE GOLD.

With Alchemy potion macro, you would have to manually type in all the recipes. Which does not seem very productive use of time, considering you could proably make in game items faster.
