Question about Begging skill

Do you still get skill increases by Begging you pets? I know this used to work a long time ago, but I tried it again and spent all night and not one skill increase. I even threw a couple points into it to make sure. After 8+ hours not one increase seemed strange to me. I was in the bazaar, but I don't think that would make a difference. I would appreciative if someone had some information about this.

Yeah, I know it's a worthless skill, but what the hey.

I believe they patched that out a long time ago. Yes, at one time it did work but does not any longer.

Was at roughly the same time they made beastlord pets get summoned by spells instead of by ability.

What I used to max Begging and it is a decent hate producer too...

Code: Select all

Sub IncombatDoAbilities
	/if n $char(ability,Disarm)>0 /doability Disarm
	/if n $char(ability,Kick)>0 /doability Kick
	/if n $char(ability,begging)>0 { 
		/attack off
		/doability begging
		/attack on
		}
	/if n $char(ability,Forage)>0 /if $char(state)==STAND { 
		/attack off
		/doability Forage
		/attack on
		}
	/doevents
/return

OK, thanks for the reply. I just knew something had been changed. Really silly for them to fix a bug like this that just effects a worthess skill when there are so many other things in game to worry about that really need fixed. Oh well.

Not a completely worthless skill. I use two different autofighting macros. For the first, I simply hit and bash or kick. For the second I hit, bash, kick, taunt, disarm, and beg.

The first is for generic fighting, and mostly used for assisting the main tank. The second is designed to generate aggro for pulling mobs off the casters, or for the rare occasion when I'm main tank. Beg definately increases aggro, and you never know, one day the thing I'm killing might actually hand me money... (whack! whack! Die Orc... and oh, by the way, can you spare a few coins?)

One of these days I gotta work a couple fast stuns in there as well, 'cause even if they don't stun they certainly piss mobs off.
