Why did I create this Thread?
Actually, creating HB profiles is incredibly easy. You don't even need the newest version of brain.exe.
The actual reason why I do this for you is this Thread.

How does Honorbuddy work?
The HonorBuddy bot uses a mesh system. An easy explanation would be: "It tells you, where your character is able to go, and where not. => no need of WPs". You can read more about this in the review of Kurios.


How to create Grinding Profiles
Now the interesting part begins. I'll use an empty template to explain everything in detail.

<HBProfile>   This is the start tag. It tells the bot, that this is a HB Profile.
  <Name>A Profile Name</Name>   This is the name tag. Nothing more to tell about.
  <MinDurability>0.4</MinDurability>   The mindurability tag tells HB when to repair. If one of the characters items falls below this number, hb goes repairing. (0.4 = 40%)
  <MinFreeBagSlots>2</MinFreeBagSlots>   This is obvious, I think.
  <SellGrey>True</SellGrey>   Obvious also. True=Yes ; False=No
  <SellWhite>True</SellWhite>
  <SellGreen>True</SellGreen>
  <SellBlue>False</SellBlue>  
  <SellPurple>False</SellPurple>
  <MinLevel>1</MinLevel>   The minimum level required to use this Profile
  <MaxLevel>80</MaxLevel>   The maximum level required to use this Profile
  <MailWhite>false</MailWhite>   Obvious...
  <MailGreen>false</MailGreen>
  <MailBlue>True</MailBlue>
  <MailPurple>True</MailPurple>

Now, we got everything, we need to setup before we're starting with the actual profile.

  <SubProfile>   This is the SubProfile tag. It's like a sub category in the HB Profile.
    <Name>A Profile Name</Name>   Again a name for the SubProfile
    <MinLevel>66</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>71</MaxLevel>   Important: If the char hits 71, the profile won't fit anymore. So it's actually 66-70.
    <Factions>1234</Factions>   This tag tells HB the faction of the mobs to kill. You can get the faction ID by targeting the mob and clicking "Target Info" in HB.

    <Vendors>   This is the Vendor Tag. It tells HB, that between those 2 tags it will find the vendors. Just c&p the target info of your vendor out of HB.
      <Vendor Name="Name" Entry="EntryID" Type="Type" Location="" X="X" Y="Y" Z="Z" />
    </Vendors>

    <Mailboxes>   Pretty obvious.
      <Mailbox X="X" Y="Y" Z="Z" />
    </Mailboxes>

    <Hotspots>   These are the Hotspot tags. Set up the hotspots in your grinding area. Just move there and press "My Position". Now c&p.
        <Hotspot X="X" Y="Y" Z="Z" />
    </Hotspots>

    <Blackspots>   These are the Blackspot tags. They're useful to avoid specific areas. Setting them up is explained in the Log window of HB.
	<Blackspot X="X" Y="Y" Z="Z" Radius="R" />
    </Blackspots>

    <AvoidMobs>   This is to avoid mob. That means Hb won't attack them.
      <AvoidMob Name="MobName" Entry="MobID" />
    </AvoidMobs>

  </SubProfile>   finally the SubProfile end tag. It tells HB that the SubProfile end here. You can set up multiple SubProfiles in a single HB Profile.

Now we finished creating the SubProfile. But as you sould remember we didn't put the HBProfile end tag anywhere. Let's add some stuff before finishing everything:

  <ProtectedItems>   This is the ProtectedItems Tag. Enter ItemIDs of items you want to keep. This allowes you to keep items wich would be sold (e.g. potions, arrows, bullets, etc.)
    <Item>ItemID</Item>
  </ProtectedItems>

  <ForceMail>   This is the ForceMail Tag. Enter ItemIDs of items you want to mail. This allowes you to mail items wich wouldn't be mailed. (e.g. leather, cloth, etc.)
    <Item>ItemID</Item>
  </ForceMail>
</HBProfile>   Yes. The end tag. You're done.

That's it for the moment. I gonna add a howto on questing tomorrow. Now you should be able to create at least some grinding profiles.

The HonorBuddy bot uses a mesh system.

You posted this 2 week's ago? You do know HB has not been using meshes for many month's now? you also should of posted this on the HB forum since it's a amazing guide and were lacking them

That's wrong.
HB 2 also uses meshes. But you don't need to dl them...HB does it automatically.

Btw.: I was very buisy the last days. Maybe I will add stuff about questing tonight.

You are correct but the way i said it made me incorrect, i mean with the new nav system we dont have to create meshes to run with profile's anymore.
You should also put in the new <GrindArea> </GrindArea> to update the guide and maybe Download a template from the buddy forum's and upload it here to make you Guide even better mate.

ugh, i search and search and all i find is this. It may be obvious as to what its for, but how do you get the char to sell all items in bag besides protected items? this profile im using cant do it at all lmao, im new to creating profiles, and i would like to know how to fix this. ive compared one that works to this one but i didnt see any differences.

Easy:

Put the Items, you want to keep into your ProtectedItems List and set Sellgrey,Sellwhite, Sellgreen, Sellblue & Sellpurple to False.

nah, it turned out to be vendor location. i just swapped it out with my new one and it started working.
