Efficient use of potions

[Melkor]

I'm looking for a more efficient way to use greater strength potions.

Right now I keep the Keg in a bag of holding. I'll make a few pots up, use razor to auto un-equip/re-equip. Then I'll just 2 click pots as needed.

Any way I could improve this?

Thanks

what is your duration, how long does it stay up?

I do it exactly the same way you do it

To be honest I've never timed it, it's a decent amount of time though. I know "Enhance Potions" increases the amount of STR you get, however I'm not sure if it extends the duration as well.

Thanks Gaara, perhaps this is the most efficient way. I'm fairly new into using pots, but I'm enjoying it and find it a benefit for sure.

With EP , its stays active around 2 minutes

I think EP only increase the amount of Stats that you get from drinking a potion . Probably the duration of those pots dont follow the EP.

Just thinking out loud, nothing tried must less tested...

I was thinking maybe combine it with another buff with similar duration/s. A little positive over lap never hurts.
Skipping that for now and focusing on your original question (sorry)...

If you only used one bottle (one bottle in all your bags) the serial id should be the same for a recycle macro. What about a macro that filled said bottle and drank it, letting utility manage the weapon dis/rearm. Done. Rinse and repeat. One button, less space. Thoughts, what did I miss?

Hiya,

The effect of the stat potions lasts for two minutes. Similar to the effects of stat boosting magery spells. The spell will be overrided with the effect and timer of the potion. However, if you cast Bless, only strength will be overrided.

Ever since I got my bag of holding, I've been thinking I should write a script for EasyUO to do the potion gulping for me, but this far, I've been busy with other scripting projects of mine, so I can only provide a barebone that hasn't really been tested too well yet. However, if someone wants, here's a base to work from for EasyUO:

Code: Select all

set %KegBag BGLWNPD           ; Set ID of the bag where the g-str potion keg is, this bag needs to be open every time a potion is poured from the keg
set %PotionBag #BackPackID    ; You should change this only if you use an organizer that moves the potions inside another bag from your main backpack
set %Str 248                  ; Set your own str here, if you're using several weapons, set the highest str without bless spell or str potion effect
set %WeaponTypes XCP_YTH_     ; List here all the weapon types you're using, currently Yumi and Halberd
set %Wait 8                   ; If the weapon un-equipping/re-equipping hangs, increase this value

finditem XUF C_ , %PotionBag
if #FindKind = -1
{
    finditem WUF C_ , %PotionBag
    if #FindKind = -1
    {
        event ExMsg #CharID 0 20 Cannot find empty potion, halting!
        halt
    }
    finditem QMJ C_ , %KegBag           ; Warning! Only have g-str potions inside this bag, filled potion kegs still share the same item type and this script
                                            ; won't pull out the potion type from #Property
    if #FindKind = -1
    {
        event ExMsg #CharID 0 20 Cannot find a potion keg, halting!
        halt
    }
    set #lObjectID #FindID
    event macro 17 0                    ; Fill that empty bottle from the g-str keg
    wait 2s
}

while #True
{
    if #STR <= %Str
    {
        finditem %WeaponTypes C_ , #CharID  ; Find your weapon, paperdoll myust be open
        if #FindKind = -1
        {
            event ExMsg #CharID 0 20 Cannot detect the weapon, halting!
            halt
        }
        set %Weapon #FindID
        finditem XUF C_ , %PotionBag        ; Find the g-str potion
        if #FindKind = -1
        {
            event ExMsg #CharID 0 20 Cannot find a potion, halting!
            halt
        }
        set #lObjectID #FindID
        exevent drag %Weapon                ; Un-equip the weapon
        wait %Wait
        exevent dropc #BackPackID
        wait %Wait
        event macro 17 0                    ; Use the potion
        wait %Wait
        wait %Wait
        exevent drag %Weapon                ; Re-equip the weapon
        wait %Wait
        exevent droppd
        wait %Wait
        finditem QMJ C_ , %KegBag           ; Warning! Only have g-str potions inside this bag, filled potion kegs still share the same item type and this script
                                            ; won't pull out the potion type from #Property
        if #FindKind = -1
        {
            event ExMsg #CharID 0 20 Cannot find a potion keg, halting!
            halt
        }
        set #lObjectID #FindID
        event macro 17 0                    ; Fill that empty bottle from the g-str keg
    }
    else
    {
        wait 5
    }
}

If I can make a suggestion about drinking pots, Yoda made a script ( EasyUO ) that have this function .

Its very cool and helpful

Hope it can help you

The angelic faith spell is awesome when combined with potions.

[Melkor]

The only problem with Angelic Faith is you can't be on a mount, so if you use a Yumi, no double shot special.

I'd love a simple easyuo macro to chug a str pot every time i need one. Nothing fancy.

[Sailor Jerry]

The following is UOS tried and tested. I assume the other utilities have something similar available.

This pours from the keg then drinks. The utility handles dis/rearm. Previously I was thinking of using bottle id but that didn't work as they get a new id when they change state. The following works with any quantity of empty bottles.

useobject 0x4180ce89 (the keg)
pause 500 (let it pour)
usetype 0xf09 (drink it)
pause 250
msg '[e yell' (express your inner Hulk while it dis, drinks & rearms you)

The entire process is complete 1-key 1-second.

[Sailor Jerry]

the durations don't align well, IMHO this combo wouldn't be inefficient even for the boots on the ground, wading into the melee type.
