New Player Arc

[Masscre]

Anyone got the new Golden Fishing Rod?I know TM is dying to get his hands on one of these rare boys.

[TrailMyx]

Indeed I'm interested in that!

How does one secure this item?

[NObama]

I call MacGuffin.

[_C2_]

Can the process be scripted to get them?

[Masscre]

You can get this item by speaking to Hepler Paulson "The Salvage Master". He is in front of the Sons of the Sea in trinsic but only on the Trammel side? I do not know why it is only trammel? Get the quest from him. Buy lots of salvage Anchors (they weigh 25 stones each). Get on a boat and enter Deep Water. Once in deep water open the plank and walk out on the plank unless you plan to fight with magery or a distance weapon. Now toss a Anchor and wait for the monsters to come up. Sometimes you get a single water ele, but you can get up to three monsters at a time(Leviaton, water elemental, sea serpent). Each time you drop and anchor you get a chance at a special (sunken ship planks, Golden Rod, )

I believe this part would be easy to script C2.

There is also more to the ARC. I just have not had time to do the rest yet.

Gave it try today, bought 500 hooks, loaded them onto my orc boat hull and sailed out nonstop dropping them. Didn't have to kill ANYTHING. after about 10 mins.

Sounds pretty damn scriptable to me...

Very scriptable. I just got another one.. So far I've gotten one every batch of 125 hooks.

Basically my method so far has been, just throw them out as fast as I can. Using Assist UO macros for this.

Code: [Select]

usetype! 0x14f7 'any' 'whatever container holding hooks'
waitfortarget 250
targettilerelative 'self' 5 false

I have that macroed to a hotkey... You could even do something like target relative (which I'll try in a few mins.WORKS, Updated.) to throw it for you...

Now to deal with the speedhacking monsters chasing your boat... You only need to target and attack them for them to stop and slow down... For this I was using another Assist UO macro.

Code: [Select]

getenemy 'enemy' 'criminal' 'gray' 'nearest'
attack 'enemy'

That's about it.. No need to kill ANYTHING, just troll for your golden fishing poles :>

Also it helps if you turn in the planks you get to the salvage master, that way you dont fish up anymore.
