Ok, considering the fact that this can be found at www.eqtraders.com and ya'll are bound to find out... There are about 6 different merchants that CHEESE can be done at:

Fungus Grove (Luclin)

bottle of milk, water flask, rennet , Snoworb's Dairy Diary - Cen Snoworb (-1216, -988)

Plane of Knowledge (PoP)

water flask, bottle of milk, rennet, Snoworb's Dairy Diary, Wandering Drogard's Brew Book v.1, Wandering Drogard's Brew Book v.2, Brother Dreymoon's Meditations - Ferin Lightfoot (-110, -166), Amile Pitt (-297, 803) , Peras Glickon (-59, 1530)

bread, water flask, bottle of milk, rennet - Vuli Ironstove (-20, 249)

Shadow Haven (Luclin)

water flask, bottle of milk, rennet, Snoworb's Dairy Diary, Brother Dreymoon's Meditations - Granger Kenforth (16, 1166)

the fact that some of you never thought to check eqtraders disappoints me.. but oh well... have fun..

Fungus Grove?! That may be a good spot, not many people in there last time I was there.... /em changes the macro to do it based on current target.

Even with cheese back, I would think the changes to vendor buyback prices would only make this profitable for a short time, until the vendor starts paying less.

Of course, since that behavior is almost certainly logged, and because the GMs are no doubt using cheese as a snare, I don't think it's the best way to make plat with MQ.

id think it would be best to do this in a zone that is OVER crowded. If EVERY single person who comes into a zone sells endless crap to a vendor then id think it'd be harder to notice one guy rackin up the cash. PoK for example... everyone and their brother goes thru this zone... its like the albequerky(sp) of everquest.. and mostly high end players selling massive amounts of high end monster parts.

just a thought.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Since the recent changes, selling a large amount of the same item to a vendor will cause that vendor to slowly decrease the buyback price. I'm not sure on what sort of decrease it is, and how many you need to selll or how quickly it goes back to normal, however.

I got bored one day, so I decided to run this macro for a long time. A LONG time. No, I didn't really care if I got banned or not.

So...I ran if for about 26 hours straight until I went LD.

Never did my sellback prices decrease and never did my purchase price increase. Maybe I just have really high charisma, or maybe it's a farce. I dunno.

<edit>If it's not one thing its about 15 others<edit>
My only problem was caused by the shifting of bags following UI change....they were overlapping. Macroing again...smooth like buddah.

So...if you believe in kharma, it's happened to me, hehe. Following the last couple patches, cheese works for me for about 4 mins, and then it stops.

I've noticed lag has gotten high, but it freezes in the same place regardless of where I do /makechese2 or not....so....yeah.

It'll go along nice and speedy and wonderfully, and then it just stops. Granger's still there, I can still click him....shift is still sendkeyed cuz I have to press it again so I can /endmacro, but....yeah. Weirdish. Old UI, crappy res, everythings turned off. Me no knowie. Anyone have any ideas?

No errors, no crash, it just stops. And I *think* that maybe one of the reasons the lag continues to build after it stops is because it's taxing the processor as it tries to continue, I dunno.

My comps weird. GeForce 2mx 200, pv 1.5, 256 mb ram on a cable connex. Weird. Any hints are appreciated. I did not alter code one bit, it just stopped working.

~Malachi

Oh, and yes I do have the correct offset for rightclick and everythign else works perfectly.

Cheese isnt even slightly profitable now. Maybe this thread will die at last?!?
