Diary of a beginner. 52 atm, hoping till 60 :)

[NOFX]

Intro: My diary, started at level 52, so obviously late, but just wanted to try openbot out, and tell you guys how it went for me .

Day 1: After I finally downloaded and installed it right (This took quite some time, as I'm not the brightest at this kind of thing ), I got straight to trying to map.I didn't leave it idle at all today, as I was scared I made some mistakes.
Try 1- failure, not quite sure why, but it was a bad area to start with so I wasn't dissapointed.
Try 2 - success! Well... after a few noob questions on the forums. I made first map in Western Plaguelands at Dalson's Tears. I think this'll be nice in a few levels, but not yet . Paths very well.
Try 3 - I did it again, yay . This map was one of trash spider and bear mobs in Western Plaguelands. There was usually about 2-3 people logged on at a time within the entire area on the horde side.
Start LvL: 52
End LvL:53.2
XP/HR: ~31k, pretty damn bad for this level probably, but only ~3k behind questing for me (bad leveler)
Loot/Money: about 4g worth of greys, two greens, and some assorted spider silk.
Deaths: 0 (would've been 1 if I had not been there)
Notables: LOTS of trees around here. I was lucky to not get stuck more than once, especially with my first day of openbot.
Overall: Decent, lack of people was probably best feauture. Also was hard to get adds besides the occasional one. Switching at 55, first I'm going to sleep.
Note to self: Don't make it cross the road next time, idiot . I set the pull range to 20 yds instead of the usual 35 to make it a little less twitchy (he usually can't pick a target at that range in tighter places)
Issues: twitching, probably my fault and not openbot's, although I have yet to locate the problem.


DAY 2: Checked up on it semi-regularly
Loc1: same as yesterday
Start LvL: 53
End LvL: 54
XP/HR: ~32k
Loot/Money: same as yesterday, 11g, also got 20+ ironweb which sells 6-70g/stack
Deaths: 2
Notes: Two power outages today, and guildie made me quest with him

Issues: Some twitching, lots of jumping, iceblocking during resting. Going to get new routine.

Loc2: The Dalson's Tear map I set up, it didn't work for some reason...
I placed new hotspots multiple times, dead and alive, and even stood there to hope it worked. Will try again tomorrow .

Update: Got it working and set for 2 hours tonight as I've been on much of the day.
Issues: Profile runs up to guys before shooting them. Still iceblocks occasionally.... getting a second new routine. Also won't bandage unless I click. A few more problems too, overall bugged more than default routine.


DAY 3: Wokeup at only 70% to 55 with broken gear
Loc1: I tried the Dalson's map again.
Start LvL: 54
End LvL:55
XP/HR: ~22k, horrible, moving to new Loc
Loot/Money: Some greens, ~7g of greys
Deaths: 4, 3 from my guy trying to res, then he gave up
Notes: Found death problem, my guy jumps right into other groups when feared .

Issues: Routine seems to be working I hope.

Loc2: Lumber Mill
Notes: Accidentally started with broken gear. Decided to go to original Loc near repairs.

Loc3: Back to original spiders/bears for money
Start LvL:55
End LvL:56
XP/HR: ~18k, worse but I just wanted the ironweb silk .
Loot/Money: same as Day 1, also Plans: Mithril Spurs
Deaths: 0
Notes: I think I can hit up LM now that I'm 56, although I may copy KuRIoS and go to Winterspring.
Issues: Nothing new.

DAY 4:
Loc1: Went to highbornes in Winterspring
Start LvL: 56
End LvL: 58
XP/HR: ~35, the best so far
Loot/Money: 2x Icy Chill Formula, 3x Star Ruby
Notes: I liked this place a lot =]. Went to Outlands and did 3 quests for some upgraded gear.

Loc2: Elementals in Silithus (copying KuRIoS again )
Start LvL: 58
End LvL: not sure yet
XP/HR: ~33k, good as well
Loot/Money: Essences, etc.
Notes: Left it for over night, already about to hit 59. Hopefully tomorrow I can give the update that says I'm done .

DAY 5: Woke up and I was 60, yay!

A bit hard to read...
Perhaps Center the day, and make it more
Try 1
notes for try 1

Try 2
Notes for try 2

You get my point... Looking forward to read more, though. Is it a druid you are botting?
(Looking at your profile saying Tauren horde druid)

[Obama]

kind of hard to read but its an intresting diary.

[pixie12]

Dark blue text ftl cause you have to focus to read it

[NOFX]

I changed some colors, and I will try to make Day 2 more readable. I'm trying to do this on a mage, but was originally going to try it on my druid, sorry for the confusion. Changed status to mage .

Is it already to glide again?
nice diary btw

[iradiation]

hmm nice im gliding a undead rogue to 70 it should be sweet im using glider
best part is i use pather which doesnt use waypoints and isnt stuck on one path pather uses hotspots and basically hangs out in that area and goes to repair while mapping the area if it runs into a tree it goes arround and remembers the tree thats why i use glider.

just my 2 cents... or mabey like 25$ worth lol(glider)

[NOFX]

Any clues on why hotspots wouldn't work for me on openbot? When I try to start that grind I get "There is no LocationSpot that fits for the Toon. Grind is stopped. Force switch was TRUE." Then an "Error: Not enough mapping data to NULL. Iterating to Next Hotspot" although I have literally covered every inch of the area by now... 2 hours at trying to make this work now.

[NOFX]

Update: Diary halted until I fix openbot.

Update: Pre-mature halt . It's up and running baby.

[Hemorrhage]
