Ground Spawn Finder

Losingteam · Post by **Losingteam** » Wed May 28, 2003 7:39 pm

Alright. I have seen other ground spawn finders, but they wont exactly fix my problem. I currently have 3 buttons set up. 1 lists all ground spawns in zone, another targets a ground spawn, and the third faces me towards the spawn. I have already made about 30kpp in 4 days this way. BUT, to mazimize my finding capabilities I need to have a way to block certain ground spawns. There are a total of 30 of the item on the ground at one time, although I havent been able to pick up 10 to 15 of them because they are stuck in trees. So basically need a macro that will target only those ground spawns that are not stuck in a tree. I was thinking maybe adding a filter to the macro to EXCLUDE those that are within a small radius of of the loc I got when I was next to the tree that the item was stuck in. If you need any more info, or ideas, or whatever. Respond here and I will explain in further detail. If your interested in making this macro let me know and I will tell you even more details. (zone, spawn name, etc).

Going to add on to this already. LOL. After reading other posts I decided its safe to say that the zone I am in is Wakening Lands. I am hunting Yew Leaf, and every leaf has the same spawn ID. These are the only item in zone, but I need a way to filter out those that are stuck in the trees. I see ideas on other posts that refer to this idea.

The problem with ground spawns is that even knowing which ones to avoid doesn't help since the /itemtarget command always targets the closest one.

One solution to this problem is to modify your /items command in your version of MQ to not only give you the distance, but the x and y coords of each item. You can then write a macro that captures the complete list (use the the events feature to do this) picking out each item and their location. A list of item spawn loc's to avoid can be added to the macro as you find them since these will only change when the servers are reset. The macro can then just go to the x,y of the closest reachable spawn and pick them up.

You stated what I was thinking perfectly. Although I have no progamming background or knowledge so this feat would be impossible for me to create. I was merely throwing the idea out there that this is something I'd strongly suggest doing because just like me, everyone else can make an insane ammount of platinum in a short period of time. Even shorter ammount of tie if this 'macro' if you want to call it that was created. So any avid programmer out there looking to take up a good chalenge with great rewards here is something for you to do. :))

Just adding a post to keep this at the top of the forum hoping someone might come along and take up the challenge of making the macro that will fix this issue. Thanks

I thought about looking into this... then you talked about uber plat... then you bumped your own thread.

Well, I changed my MQ to do something that could be changed to do this, but since you bumped your own damn thread you're on your own hotshot.

Ok. I am sorry for bumping the thread. I thought by moving it up it might get more attention. I didnt realize that it would make people mad. That wasnt my intention. So I appalogize for that (sorry I cant spell appalogize I think). So just wanted to post Sorry. Wont happen again.

The sig is also enough to make me not want to read this thread. No offense, but it's true.

Ha, ha.

I put that site on my image blocking proxy months ago.

Those sigs are really annoying. No offense, L124RD.

Gotta agree with you there, those sigs get very annoying, especially during times of high traffic on my network.

Guess I'll have to take a look at the price of Yew Leaves in Wakening Lands though, maybe I'll be able to afford that horse :) Not to mention new armor... Luminant Heraldic is expensive stuff

Issue 1: Sig deleted. No longer going to be a problem for all of you.

Issue 2: Yew Leaf sell on my server for 100pp each. And the server I am on is very close to the top of the population ranked servers. Just collect Yew Leaf. Pop into trader mode, and between 5minutes to 2hours later they are goone. I have had people buy 80 at one time (Making me 8kpp richer)

Issue 3: Yes this would easily be enough PP for you to buy a horse and all the gear you couldwant. I have now made closer to 30kpp with this method.

PS: Mc, if your on my server and need money for a horse hit me up. Send me an IM or email or something.

Issue 5: Hopefully no more issues and now we can all go on living our happy lives. :)

Just to add. Black Pantherskin sells for 200pp, Haze Pantherskin for 1kpp, and sometimes I can sell Haze Panther Eyes for 500pp.

Salutations,
But I'm sure no one else would do that since none of you macro to gain platinum do you?

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Mon Jun 02, 2003 8:20 pm

Of course not... I don't know of any macros that actually turn a profit =)

Anyway, checked EQ Atlas, I couldn't survive there solo for long....
