WTS a Macro [AFK Exp/Loot Macro for Necs 63+]

Vayeco Dynn · Post by **Vayeco Dynn** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 5:31 pm

I'm not sure if this is allowed... I couldn't find anything in the rules about it. If not, go ahead and delete it.

I recently created a pretty nice experience hunter macro for necros lvl 63+. Just leave it running and it will farm exp and decent loot for an indefinate amount of time. Usually runs over 24 hours before something finally goes wrong and the char dies. Will probably need to be tweaked to suit your character's needs, but I can help out with that.

Also, I'll sell this with my level 70 nec, 75 AAs, if you're interested. I'm quitting EQ again, school is starting.

EDIT:
Okay... I'll sell the code at $10 per person to whomever wants it, since it doesn't like people are willing to pay much more than that for a macro nowadays (even though this is probably one of the best necro macros ever made). The only terms are that you are not allowed to redistrubute the code, or portions of the code, without my permission. It is camp specific, so I'll keep a running total of how many people have bought the macro.

Total Buyers: 0

I started using it at level 63, and I only had it running for a little over a week and a half before I quit EQ. For the record, I quit EQ because I'm in college now and didn't want to risk it interfering with my studies.

The offer still stands by the way. I've gotten a couple offers for $10 but refused them, so aim higher if you're interested.

Shouldn't this be posted in the "What not to do" forum section. If your using this product and you cannot write your own macro's then you've got some pretty serious issues.

People being paid for thier services is nothing new around here, or anywhere else. Do you think the dev's do their work out of the goodness of their heart? I know for a fact dkaa barely has a heart.

I used to have one but it shriveled away from too many stupid questions.

Why not sell multiple copies of it for $10/each stead of a one shot deal of some higher figure? Offer it for a limited tme and at the end of that time if you haven't ordered a copy of the zipped code you're SOL

Or, since it's apparant that the going offer is only $10 and you obviously have some other value in mind just come out and say "For sale for XX" and be done with it.

But the longer you hold out for this arbitrary higher value, at the rate EQ is being patched and changes made, your code is going to be oudated soon and you'll have an even harder time selling a worthless, unsupported macro

Its probably location specfic so selling alot of copies would / coudl run into issues.

My appologies then. I just thought the devs didn't want people profiting off of the program is all.

From what I've seen only the precompiles w/o source as per the GPL licensing model is the big no no profit wise. But active hacks are also taboo on these forums, free or otherwise. So if its your original work, or you have permission from those you have derrived you work from, selling it shouldn't be an issue. Good luck.

Pssst, hey guess what?

Anyone interested in this super macro should consider simply donating sufficiently to the devs of this project (who keep it going) and earn VIP access.

The VIP forums contain information, plugins, and macros with which you will be able to do anything short of Active hacking. You would also very likely be able to actually LEARN how to modify existing macros shared freely in the VIP macros forum so that you can turn around and try to sell them just like the individual that started this thread.

Finding sweet spots in game to utilize these tools (particularly while AFK) isn't rocket science. The best way to locate them is to look for yourself on your own server instead of going to a spot which is actively being "sold" and shared with who knows how many people.

Just my 2 cents. Hell, simply using search and looking through the non-VIP macros forums can get you all the information you need to make a decent script. Put in some effort and share your work with others and those with more experience will be much more likely to help you out. There are several very awesome macros in the VIP forum which were started and managed by individuals initially which have now evolved and have been refined due to the combined efforts of those that utilized the macros. IMO you are much more likely to get a quality macro by going that route, then by paying $10 bucks and hoping for the best.

I agree that the VIP forum is definately worth $10 and has a LOT of great resources (particularly the tradeskill macros).

However, 90% of this script was made from scratch, and took a lot of time to develop. There's no way you'd be able to put something together that achieves the same level of perfection as this macro using snippets from the VIP forum.

Here's a little more detail on what my macro does (previously written for an auction I never got around to setting up):

The macro does some pretty neat things. It obviously keeps your character buffed at all times, as well as keeping a pet summoned & buffed at all times. Its killing method is aggro kiting, using smart mob avoidance. The macro is smart and knows when to feign death if things aren't going too well. The macro even splits mobs on its own by feigning death. The macro is fairly efficient as well... On my necro, I usually am at 100% hp/mana after each kill. Of course the macro loots the mobs it kills, and the loot that drops is pretty decent for making some extra plat while you AFK level.

The macro will also beep if you recieve any tells. The macro will also exit automatically if a GM enters the zone (but honestly the macro is very low profile - runs in a very non-busy zone, and actually emulates a real player's style quite well).

There is and I have.

Granted, I don't have your macro, but I do have a macro I tailored for my own uses which does everything you mentioned that yours does. Additionally, mine co-operates with other bots I operate simultaneously so if one runs out of loot space one of the other picks up loot-duty.

Honestly, with all the work that has already been done and refined and supplemented with plugins it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to produce a script that does all of these things.
