Raising Provo seemingly taking forever

[iand1821]

I've been macroing provo from 0.0 for about 3 hours in the Brit stables and have gained 16 skill so far. My musicianship is 100. Is this what to expect from provoking? Seems like it will take weeks at this pace. I am not close to 700 skill yet so that's not the issue.

My macro is:

Useskill provoke
wait for target
target cow
wait for target
target pig
pause 10 seconds
loop

Buy it up to 28 or whatever you can. It gets "stuck" under 20 with GM music. It'll GM in 12 hours. And that macro stinks. 2nd Target should be yourself.

If you fail to provoke the creature the delay is 5 seconds, not 10.

So add a check "If Sysmsg = fail, pause 5000ms else pause 10000ms"

Should save a few hours/days worth of macroing.

I did the target self, plus the fail check for 5 second delay, and both times I GM'd provoke, it took 48-72 hours (leaning more toward 72 in my memory) of straight, non-interrupted macroing. Some people claim it takes 12 though!
