When I came to the boards looking for a combine program, I was not very hip on what can be done with smithing. I'm a tradeskill noob and an even bigger MAC noob. For anyone else in my shoes, here was my noob path to tradeskilling from 183 to 222.
I got smithing up to 183 by working on the mistletoe sickle subcomponents. When I hit 183, I started working on Enchanted Velium things. I got to this point MANUALLY!! I knew there were programs to assist but I do not have an apptitude for development and most of the tradeskill stuff that I had seen was complex and way over my head so I stuck with the old-fashioned way and clicked: combine, auto-inventory, repeat...
This really sucked so back to the boards I went and tried to see if I could pull some pieces out of code and make something simple that I could understand. Mixed in there I read through the manual of the different commands, buttons, etc.. Whiz over my head.. I'm a herdware guy. "If it doesn't work, beat the hell out of it.".
During my searching and reading I stumbled across the two programs below. Below are two programs that I used for my toon to work on his smithing. I got them from the boards.
Below my story on velium to get my skill from 183 to 222.
Most people sell the velium bits for 25 to 20p each. This is pretty much the norm for our server. Farm the shit out of the bazzar for Huge, Large and Small blocks/bricks. Most people sell those for 100 to 20p. A huge at anything below 100p is a steal:
1 Huge = 2 large = 4 small = 8 small pieces (w/ no fails)
Velium weapons can also render Large and Small blocks/bricks. I will gobble those up at 25p or less each and break those down into velium. Requires a Velium Smithing Hammer.
Armed with a smithing chisel and a buttload of velium in your invenotry, open up a forge and select the entry to break down the larger pieces into smaller pieces starting highest to smallest. ie: Select large to break down huge and so forth. Start with the large and work down to small pieces. Sorry I had to give that example, you know there would be someone that would ask.
simplecombine.mac
Code: Select all
#turbo
Sub Main
:restart
/delay 30 ${Window[TradeSkillWnd].Child[COMBW_CombineButton].Enabled}
/notify COMBW_CombineArea COMBW_CombineButton leftmouseup
/delay 30 ${Cursor.ID}
/call AutoInvAll
/goto :restart
/return
Sub AutoInvAll
:autoinvall
/if (${Cursor.ID}) {
/notify COMBW_CombineArea AutoInvButton leftmouseup
/delay 1
/goto :autoinvall
}
/return
Once you have a bunch of small pieces and enough temper and spells you ready to start making the Enchanted to skill up to 222.
SimpleDestroy.mac
Code: Select all
#turbo
Sub Main
:restart
/delay 30 ${Window[TradeSkillWnd].Child[COMBW_CombineButton].Enabled}
/notify COMBW_CombineArea COMBW_CombineButton leftmouseup
/delay 30 ${Cursor.ID}
/call AutoInvAll
/goto :restart
/return
Sub AutoInvAll
:autoinvall
/if (${Cursor.ID}) {
/destroy
/delay 1
/goto :autoinvall
}
/return
Because the enchanted are Lore, SimpleDestroy will make the combine and destroy the results.
I used the simplecombine to mass make whatever as long as you have the ingredients in inventory. I know there are other more complex smithing macros but this is quick and easy.
Now I'm working on the mistletoe things. That is expensive! 65 combines and I'm up to 228.

I'm trying to get close to 300 to do DoN race armor. I'm really thinking that it just might be cheaper to buy everything but I'm a dumbass and am pressing forward.
