Thanks for the PM.  Nothing is changing very much from the variable world.  I recommend you going through all your Rules in the "Rules" tab and de-selecting everything that has a "Log?" checked.  This will prevent the "History" tab from getting too large and this might slow things down.  You can also check your history tab and see how many items have been cataloged over time.  If the number is large, then removing the logging might speed things up a bit. 

Actually, there's a variable at the top of the script called "%use_history" that you can change to #FALSE to turn off all history collection.  You might try that first instead of unchecking everything to be logged.

If that doesn't work then I'm at a loss.

How many rules in total do you have?  Also, are you running any other scripts in parallel with the looter? 

I have seen sometime when loot time increases as run time also increases, but not nearly what you're experiencing.

The real only thing that we have control over is the size of the variables that are accumulated over runtime.  You might want to take a snapshot of your vardump (Tools/VarDump) when you first start the script, and then take one when you start experiencing slowness.  Then compare the sizes (in bytes or lines) of the 2. 

It's been a while since I did an analysis like this.  Feel free to PM me your results, but don't post the actual vardumps because there's account specific information.

Also, there's an older version still posted.  You might want to try that and see if it works differently.

Hey, yesterday I started gathering information for a new plant tender written in OrionUO, and decided to read through this topic for information. I'm surprised this still works to some degree... This was one of my first scripts, and writing this is how I started learning EUO... Got a nostalgic vibe reading through this... There was so much information about plants and everything that I used to know that I don't remember anymore... Such a weird feeling...

Anyway, thank you everyone for the testing and all the changes suggested throughout the topic. Will come back here after I finish the OrionUO script...

Sure take you time TM, preview mode is very useful as i dont want the script to loots tons of stuff and i can go thru preview and select which item i really want to pick up.

 

Take a look at it making sure everything is logged.  I think it's actually working the way I designed it.

One strategy for getting tritons, and making money from them, is to have up to 8 high seas enabled accounts, EJ or paid. On Beacons, Each character that takes a shot gets a mythic box. But you only get one per toon. So if you use 8, you get 80K points. Get 1 triton every 2 beacons.

Triton is a pet redeemed from points doing High Seas content that started about a year ago. You turn in chests for points. You get these chests from doing the orc beacons or pirating ships. Turn in the chests (I forget the exact name, but they have several named levels) which are very colorful but are not a container you can use.

These points get turned in to a NPC near the bank at Buc's Den. You also redeem the pet there.

You will actually get a statuette of the pet. You have to double click the statuette to redeem the pet. Make sure you redeem it somewhere in Tokuno. This allows you to add the samurai based skills to the pet, if you decide to go that route.

Tritons have high wrestling and resist, so no need to use scrolls for those skills usually. I think wrestling can be as low as 110's, but as high as maybe 130. Resist spells is much higher - going to 170+. These have the healing like cu sidhes - so make an excellent tank in many situations. That is the short definition.

In order to learn to do the beacons, you can always create a character on another shard to join someone to show you how to do it. There are several of us who can do that and would probably be willing to help. Shared knowledge is kinda what this place is about - IMHO.

Google Shadowguard. YOu will need a Frost dragon or WW or Cold Drake for Belfry. For other rooms, a Firebeetle with rune corruption, armor pierce, and frenzied whirlwind. Scroll Ninjitsu as high as you can. Rest 110 will work. For roof, Triton with Chiv, Repel, AI, Feint. Makes it super tanky. Run consume. Preferred couple with a discord tamer, but any good cast/heal tamer.
