Yeah, stop anything more than powerful reforging and the artifice potions.

Boy for the life of me, I can not find the right link anymore. I thought that one was it. I just searched my history for the last two months. I can't remember the details, but I used a DC or a Copper runic hammer, Here is what I can remember:
Dull Copper/Copper Runic (any higher will likely give you two mods, then you'd want to change around the settings and my experience hasn't taken me there)
Powerful Reforging -- Beefs it up
Grand Artifice --Guarantees a name
Inspired Artifice --Lets you pick
Then choose vampire for instance and you'll end up with a HxL. Keep doing it, and you'll eventually get a single HML leech. The thing is, you need to watch the DI. If the DI goes up, then you've actually split your reforge and now you can only imbue 3 items. You also will burn through charges because you'll end up with HLL, HSL mixtures as well. The goal is to beef one up above the cap, then imbue other properties. The armor is more difficult, and I believe that thread I linked you talked about how to make armor.
Out of my experience
I think if you use a bronze/gold you can
Powerful
Grand
Inspired
Exalted
Sublime(opt)
And you can get two stats with super boost. Again, it will burn charges because you'll get split the power into mixed properties but it will be possible to get only two. If you want to choose the two stats, you'll have to use sublime. Otherwise you can roll the dice with just one. I'm not sure if you get a decrease in power for choosing or if the tradeoff is solely another charged burned.

I just got a 48 hour temp ban for using X miner.I am considering another account, solely for mining. So while in the 2 day trial, they have removed the ability to mine color ore? Crap. Was completely ready to run like 3 temps at a time. I guess iron ingots still sell
I'll have to start a 3rd account to sacrifice to the GMs so I don't lose my aged account.
Sounds like you where not choosing suitable mining spots. As with all resource gathering and nearly any resource gathering script you use. The odds of getting banned if the script isnt total trash is just down to the actual spots you choose to gather resources in.
GMs dont go looking for people to ban, people page on you. So in order to not get banned, dont be seen by other players. If you mine in xcave and always see joe blow in that cave its probably time you stopped mining thier .. espeacially as ive seen people do for example mine in right corner recall to middle then recall to left corner .. thats just asking for a banning. So aviod players and you will never get banned even if your scrpt buggs out and you walk into a wall for 4 hours.... do that around players and your done for.
Thiers a thread around someplace on this sort of stuff
I was using Twinkle McNugget's miner which auto ignore runes you see people mining at. The funny thing was it was like 3 in the morning, and I was at my computer with the miner on the second screen. I never saw anyone, and his miner never picked up anyone on the status- Makes me wonder if someone hasn't been spotting me over the last few weeks and pieced it together (maybe a scripter himself, what a dick) and left someone hiding. I don't want to risk my almost 6 year account, so I'm probably just going to pay for a macro account. One I can afford to lose. I was going to create 3 temp accounts (I imbued 3 LRC/MR Str suits) and run a miners on them and just keep passing the stuff off every week and a half or so until I had enough ingots to last me a while- but it seems according to this thread that I would only end up with Iron ingots.

I found a great discussion on runic reforging. The general idea is this: Runic reforging, which will use up your runic charges, will allow you to sort of choose the properties you get on an item. Here's the deal, there is always the chance of the BS 'brittle' and 'cursed' and what not problems. What is useful however, is that reforging will give you properties with intensities not normally achievable with imbuing (i.e. Hit Mana Leech 81%, Luck of 175, etc...).
There are a lot of options- The more you pick, the more charges are used up. I've never reforged with a copper or a bronze, but I might try some things out to test it. The trade up is also this, in the simplest manner, so to speak, is that the more items you also choose, the more 'diluted' the results. For instance, if I pick the best options with a DC hammer, my intensities will be low and I'll probably end up with a negative like -100 luck or brittle. The cool thing is that if for instance, I choose only one of the options or a couple, I can get a pretty fantastic template for imbuing. An example would be trying to make a sword with super high HML, I can use a couple of the options and get a clean 80+ HML sword. That gives me 4 more properties I can imbue. The best write up to explain it, I found here:
http://stratics.com/community/threads/reforging-how-to.264020/

Scripting Chat / Re: Best Practices, Design Patterns and General Coding Conventions
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:54:41 AM »Code: [Select]
I for one, really really really like lua as opposed to the euox scripting language.
I hate to do this and wonder if I'm breaking a taboo, you should also check out easyUO's openEUO forum. A few guys over there like Snicker7 and ximan are excellent lua coders, from what I can tell.
In terms of good coding axioms, I try to practice lua script writing as if I were writing in C++. I like writing modular functions so I can copy/paste them into new scripts as needed and know that those functions are going to work as intended. One axiom I code with is avoiding upvalues in functions. If you're not entirely sure what an upvalue is in lua, you can check out the lua page http://www.lua.org/pil/6.1.html
in short, I avoid this at all cost
[code]
--some code
local resourcebagID = UO.LtargetID
--blah more code
function GetRegs()
--blah, ScanItems/GetItems or some appropriate call to a FindItem sub.
if FountItemContID == resourcebagID then
--blah
end
return
end
In that example, resourcebagID is known as an upvalue. It was defined in a local scope that the function was defined in. In lua, if you do not define a variable it will look in the parent scope for a definition. I prefer to send all variables in as arguments and define all function constants within the function itself.
Something else I do, is create a function for each simple task I want to do. Then create functions for each Macro task I wish to do, and then use a main driving loop that is nothing but function calls. Keeps your thoughts organized and much easier to track down bugs in the script. For example:
Code: [Select]
function MoveItem(id,dropbag,stack)
UO.Drag(id,(stack or 1))
UO.DropC(dropbag or UO.BackpackID)
wait(1000)
return
end
function MoveAllOfType(Type,Col,contID)
--Appropriate finditem call for Type/Col
for k,v in pairs(AllItems) do
MoveItem(v['ID'],contID)
end
return
end
Now I can use those subs when ever I want in any script. A bod sorting script, Looting script, etc and if they fail to move something, then I know it's a consequence of something else, not those functions.
I am also a comment happy fella. It makes it easier to understand your own work later, as well as for others to learn from you.

Take alook around.. explore .. ask question and get involved
Well, I came here to learn some things, and I've already answered so many questions I once had.
Why does miffy post TrailMyx' scripts and who the hell is TM?
Why does Josephaj always post things as 'ENs blah' (also, nice modGUI for openEUO, except I'm too lazy to keep adding the files- Cheffe should take your help on a better GUI :p)

Hi Everybody!
I've tooled around here on the boards a bit.
From what I can tell scriptUO is easyUO with added functionality? I'm still trying to get my orientation here on these boards. Is there some documentation wiki?
Also, I noticed the openEUO forum. Does script UO use lua scripts or is there a version of it that does?
I've moved far into openEUO scripting as opposed to easyUO.
I hope I draw no parallel's or assumptions here that offend anyone.

I just got a 48 hour temp ban for using Twinkle McNugget's miner. I am considering another account, solely for mining. So while in the 2 day trial, they have removed the ability to mine color ore? Crap. Was completely ready to run like 3 temps at a time. I guess iron ingots still sell I'll have to start a 3rd account to sacrifice to the GMs so I don't lose my aged account.

Not only did they post it in an old thread, but they even spelled something differently to bypass the Filter.

Interesting... this was suppose to be in the script miner's thread. Sorry manwinc, not sure how I got over here.
