Is there a harvest bot that uses the new harvest tools? : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

It would speed up harvesting a lot, the T7 tools decrease harvest time by 2 seconds. When I go harvesting I always put the mining tool in one charm slot, and I switch the other tools with hotkeys depending on the node I need to harvest.

I don't see bots using this great advantage, why not? It doesn't take long to switch harvest tool, you can even put them on same hotbar with the harvesting hotkeys.

Well its just more coding that needs to be done and more setup at the user level. See the bot would hve to figure out exactly what the node is, then open up the inventory and swap the correct tool in, then push the correct hotbar button.
I doubt it would be all that hard to do for some of the programmers here, but its just another place where people will not know how to setup and another place where it won't work for everyone and another place for bugs to appear.
Its a great idea, but i think you'll find it may provide much less of a decrease in harvest time than you may think.

I've tried 3 harvest bots now, this is the closest I can get to getting any of them to work proplerly. I know people are using them without problems so it should be possible for me too. Please help me out here.

What macro are you using to switch tools? I can probably add that to Ultrabot.

I don't use a macro. If I remember correctly I put the pickaxe in the top charm slot, then I dragged the tools from inventory to hotbar and it will switch the tools in the lower charm slot.
So now I have the pickaxe in charm slot all the time because that's the most important harvest tool, and when I go near a root I just press the shovel hotkey and it will equip the shovel in the lower charm slot. So then I'd have pickaxe + shovel equipped. And when I move on to wood, I'll press saw hotkey and it will change shovel for saw. While pickaxe stays equipped in the upper charm slot.

This would be a great idea, all the program would need to do is to optionally call another number before it starts harvesting. It already calls the correct harvesting action dependant upon what it has targeted, we could just assign the harvesting charms to slots 7 to -, or 8 to = if you want a gap between them. The script could swap the charm over as it targets the new node it is approaching.

Would that be fairly easy to impliment slam?
