TiMi's Guide to Forensics

Thought i would post this simple guide as a few people have been asking the best method.


Training Forensics Evaluation:

0-30 - Train from an NPC healer

30-45 - Trained on various corpses while i was hunting;
Razor Macro:
UseSkill Forensics
Wait For Target
Target By Type 2006 (corpse)
pause 10.25 seconds

Once You reach 45 you can train directly on an npc, i chose the town crier

45-GM

Razor Macro:
UseSkill Forensics
Wait For Target
Absolute target (target the town crier or which ever npc you choose to raise off)
pause 10.25s


Now you can go hunting thieves

Tagging to add to the big guide later on, thanks!

In the 30-45 stage, can you target the same corpse multiple times for gains? Or just once?

Negative, you can only gain off a corpse once, which is why i chose to move to an NPC at 40+

Regards
TiMi

That must have changed because I worked a ton of Forensics in the GY killing things and running the macro on last target after manually targeting each fresh corpse.

I just reskilled myself at a shrine and macrod on my own corpse to gm.

just the once matron?

You can res while criminal at an ankh. So I found an ankh in town, and macrod attacking a nearby blue (could be a tame, or a friend), calling guards on myself, then forensic'ing my corpses.

ah ok, ill check on this more

This is a little late, however you CAN gain multiple times off of the same corpse. Just kill, and eval until decay.

What's that point of forensic?

Standing at the ankh, death by corpser

Razor Macro:
pause 10.25 seconds
UseSkill Forensics
Wait For Target
Target By Type 2006 (corpse)
pause 0.25 seconds
Target By Type 0ECC (bones)

loop

I wonder if there is an easier way, perhaps zombie body parts, human body parts, bone piles, something non decaying

Here's an alternative. It doubleclicks the ankh for you and attacks nearest non-friendly

Code:

!Loop
