[Midsummer Festival] Easier Torch Juggler Achievement

[vailidiot2]

So, a basic way to do this achievement would be to assign your Juggling Torces to a button on your action bar and to press that like crazy while clicking on the floor underneath your character. This may work but there are many people who cannot click fast enough. This simple guide will make things easier for those people who do not click to get this achievement.

PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT make up for server lag as Dalaran is the most crowded city on most servers. You can make this achievement easier on yourself by finding a less populated place in Dalaran where you can save yourself from interruption if you do lag.

The main tool that we will be using to make your life easier is this script. Copy and paste it into your chat box as if you were using a "/emote":

/script SetBinding(";", "CAMERAORSELECTORMOVE")

This is a simple script that will set a key on your keyboard to act as the left button on your mouse to click. Don't worry, your left mouse button will still work and click and this will only effect your game until you log out. In the above I decided to use the ";" key because I do not use it for any other binds. You can change this to whichever key you wish. Using this script is only temporary and if you wish to keep it assigned permanently, in case you want to click without using your mouse for whatever reason, you can enter in the following script:

/script SaveBindings(1)

So. Now that we have a key acting as our left mouse button (Again if you just copy and pasted my example script, then ";" is your new left mouse button) simply move your cursor over your character. Make sure you have your Juggling Torches somewhere on your Action Bars (I used the bar for the number "1" key) and spam your Juggling Torches and your new left mouse button (Again, my ";" key). I was pressing at an average speed, not so much spamming, and I have this achievement on all my characters now.

This is the easiest I could make this achievement with my knowledge of scripts and macros. Maybe someone can further this a bit more and make things even easier. Here is the foundation for it though and hopefully this simple script can make everyone's Midsummer Festival a little bit easier. Enjoy :wave:

TIPS

• instead of the ";" key you can also use your " ` " (" ~ ") key as it is right next to the number 1 key.
• use the "/script SaveBindings(1)" after the script to assign a new mouse button if you want to make this achievement easier on all your alts so you do not have to re-enter the first script.

Wow this really helped thanks alot dude! rep

This is the best way to get the achi. But indeed you need to still find a place where theres not too many people hanging around to get it!

Another way I may add, is, that you should levitate, then do it. The torches take longer to fall thus, you can throw 40 really fast.

As I said on a previous thread, you dont need a macro besides /cast juggling torch if you want. Put the torches on the hotbar, zoom all the way in so you are looking through yourself at the ground, then just spam the hotbar number and the mouse click. I get this first try on all my toons using this.

If you still have trouble getting this achievement you can use this AHK script to get it. Just put the torch on your action bar at the "1" key, put some weighted object on your keyboard to hold the space bar down while you go do whatever you want and eventually you will get the achievement.

space::
send 1;

1,100 views in about a day. Nice. Thank you all for your replies.

Enagic, the levitate trick would help but you need a priest to get that, even if the priest is just in the group to cast it on you, still need to go through the trouble of finding one and the distance is not that big of a difference.

Shammy FTW, the main point of this was for the people who could not click fast enough as there are MANY people out there who cannot.

Nathekian, AHK is an amazing program, incredibly amazing when used in the proper hands. The problem with that is not everyone wants to download and install it. This thread I made was to provide a simply way to make the achievement easier for the masses without using any other programs or needing to download something. Anyone who plays WoW can use this simple trick.

Again, this is something new I came up with to make things just a bit easier with a very simple trick. I wish more people would reply to this thread with feedback.

If you mount up at Krasus' Landing then fly off down to the right there is a little floating island. Never usually anyone there so this is the perfect place for it.

First off, +rep for the guide, it helped me get the achieve! =D

Now, I followed the steps in this guide and I still couldn't click fast enough or there was too much latency so I decided I'd get auto-it to do it for me. Just follow the steps in this guide, make sure you zoom in the camera all the way, and look on the ground right beneath you. Then run this script(copy+paste it into notepad then save it as a .au3 file (ex: midsummer.au3); make sure you have auto-it installed and double click the .au3 file you just created):

HotKeySet("{F6}", "TogglePause")

Global $Paused
TogglePause()

While 1
Send("{1}")
Sleep(10)
Send("{;}")
Sleep(10)
Wend
		

Func TogglePause()
$Paused = NOT $Paused
While $Paused
sleep(100)
ToolTip('Hit F6 to pause/resume...',0,0)
Wend
EndFunc

Enjoy! =)

this is what I did, though it took me a few times of readjusting the delay rate. I made two macros, 1) /script SetBinding("2","CAMERAORSELECTORMOVE") and dragged the macro to my "2" hotkey; the 2nd macro was /use juggling torch and i set it on my "1" hotkey. Now it might be wrong to do but I used my G15 and setup a macro key to press 1 then 2 repeatedly with a 35 millisecond delay. default delay was 25 and i slowly brought it up to 35, and hit the 40 torches with 3-4 seconds to spare. just make sure your cursor is on yourself and no problems, didn't get the item not ready error like i did with 25-34 milliseconds.

There is an addon called Juggler
It's really nice and easy to use.
Just open the addon in game, and hold your mouse on your char, then just start scrolling with your mouse :P
