Help with Poison Macro
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 9:34 am
I'm almost positive my macro itself works fine. I manually watch it apply poison to my dagger, refill my poison bottles, etc. I was a little concerned that over 30 potions or so I had only gained .1, but figured that was just bad luck. I saw myself heal through a poisoning (by a GM healer), so I knew I wouldn'g die.
The next morning I checked, and of course the Connection is Lost from server shut down, but lo-and-behold I've gained .2 points only! I figured I must have crashed early into my macroing (I started at around midnight). I login and all nine of my poison kegs are empty!
I know for a fact this wasn't a case of a friend to the tower looting me or anything strange like that. I changed the locks and locked the doors prior to starting my macro (also did a detect hidden...I've had some regs and gold looted recently so I'm really paranoid now). It just comes down to nine kegs of poisoning a dagger only yielded .2 points.
I started by purchasing my way up to 28.9 (21.7 show real). Here's the only thing I can think that went wrong: I used Greater Poison. I thought I read that was ok, but I'm guessing it wasn't. I manually tested this by apply 10 lesser poisons and seeing no gains, and then apply Greater Poisons, I eventually saw that .1 so I just assumed that was at least an ok way to go.
Do I have to use Lesser poisons at this level? I'm not doing any alchemy. My friend is making me the kegs.
Thanks in advance for any help.
