To set Vtank to loot hiltable daggers.

Thought I had it right, but im starting to think not.

Have maxdamage set at <= 4

Mindamage set at >= 0

All i've found so far are 0 damage ones. No 0-1, 0-2m 0-3, 0-4.

Anyone know if this is correct?

I think Melee weapons are done by max dmg and variance, then again, I could be wrong, I also have noticed a lack in melee weapons being looted.

Think you are misunderstanding me.

I just wanna make sure I have it set properly for hiltable weaps. I have no problems looting regular weapons.

And you have to make a setting for it to consider variance. Without the setting, it doesn't take it into account.

bc, does vtank's looting system have anyway of checking for the word Ivoryable in the description?

if the description (somewhere includes that phrase on 370+ daggers/short-swords, then it is a hilt/tinkerable weapon.

I just looked at a 420 wield one that is 0 damage and it doesn't say ivoryable anywhere on it. I don't think it says that until after the hilt is applied.

I can get it to pick up the 0 damage ones. Just haven't seen any of the higher ones so im not sure if I have it set correctly.

I think 0-2 is highest for a hiltable dagger.

I -think- that if you right click an in item that's in a critter corpse you can see the stats before deciding to pick up the item.

Does that help?

Can we get a ban for this guy posting inappropriate responses on help topics?

Nobody cares that you don't like third party programs Shojimbo. We care even less about your thoughts on UCM. You obviously don't need to even browse this forum. Why do you keep posting here?

If I WASN'T using a program to loot, then this would probably work.

Now please, unless you have something to ADD to the thread, stay off of it.

the 400 and 420 hiltable daggers do NOT say ivoryable (that was the old key phrase to know to pick them up) ALl I have mine set for is a max dam of 6 and a wield req of >= 399

It seems to loot them fine for me

Um... Inappropriate response? I will double check later today, but I am quite certain that if you right click an item, you can see the stats.

I didn't say that I don't like third party apps. In fact, I use quite a few of them including Alinco3 for looting, but I always manually check items on corpses just in case. UCM? I never mentioned anything about UCM, but since you brought it up, do you know that regardless of the opinions of those who do not know how to actually play the game, and rely on Vtank or LifeTank or whateverTank to do it for them, this forum is not a showcase for your UCM prowess. In fact, I bet you never read to ToS or CoC for this forum where is it clearly stated that it is forbidden to discuss and/or assist with UCM.

Why do I post here? Well, I read and post to this forum for all kinds of game related reasons. I don't, however, come here to ask for assistance in getting my computer to play a game for me. I've probably helped more people here than you have posts.

By the way - UCM violates Turbine's ToS and CoC. While you think you are being slick getting characters to level 275, then not knowing what to do after, keep that in mind. Then I can just LMAO when you come whining about an unfair ban on you account wink

This is a utilities forum. Regardless of what they are used for, people come here for help, not sarcasm. If you can't add anything constructive to a post, then don't add anything.

And i've been playing this game for over 10 years, i'm pretty sure i'm fairly adept at playing it manually.
