Hello, I have made a script for training Magery from 50-100 using the Razor Scripting options. With this script you will not need to worry about wasting regs or having to setup multiple macros based on the spell you need to cast for gains. As a new player it can be kind of odd having a third party assistant such as Razor while playing a game. This script will also introduce you to some capabilities of Razor. Much of the setup of this script can be applied to other areas of the game to improve quality of life while playing the game. First you will want to start off by setting up a few restock agents: (navigate to agents in razor then click add and use the in game target to target the regs) Restock Agent 2 Restock Agent 3 Restock Agent 4 Restock Agent 5 Next you will need to create some variables for the script: (navigate to scripts in razor, click options then click add and use the in game target to target each variable) myspellbook some spells allow you to cast on your spellbook, doing this will not require you to heal yourself with another character. mycharacter this variable will be used to target any character besides the caster, this will let you train resist on a character that needs it if the one casting it will not be using that skill. regs this script will require you to have all your regs inside of a container in your house or bank, it will use the restock agents to take one of each reg for the spell you are casting. add the container your regs are in as this variable. Alternative Targets This script is customizable, depending on your needs you can adjust the targets within the script, simply adjust the lines that say: target 'variable' to your needs. Just be sure not to adjust ANY lines with the 'regs' variable or you will break the script. The End! Code: if skill 'magery' = 100 overhead 'It is about goddamn time' endif if mana < 35 overhead 'Out of mana' skill 'meditation' pause 15000 endif if skill 'magery' < 60 restock 02 // Razor > Agents > Restock-02 > Add Black Pearl, Bloodmoss, Spider Slik target 'regs' overhead 'Getting regs' wait 3500 cast 'mana drain' waitfortarget 2500 target 'myplayer' // Razor > Scripts > Options > Add any character other than yourself elseif skill 'magery' < 80 restock 03 // Razor > Agents > Restock-03 > Add Bloodmoss, Nightshade wait 3500 target 'regs' overhead 'Getting regs' cast 'invisibility' waitfortarget 3500 target 'self' endif if skill 'magery' < 90 restock 04 // Razor > Agents > Restock-04 > Add Sulfurous Ash, Spider Silk wait 3500 target 'regs' overhead 'Getting regs' cast 'flamestrike' waitfortarget 3500 target 'myspellbook' // Razor > Scripts > Options > Add any character other than yourself elseif skill 'magery' < 100 restock 05 // Razor > Agents > Restock-05 > Add Bloodmoss, Ginseng, Garlic wait 3500 target 'regs' overhead 'Getting regs' cast 'resurrection' waitfortarget 4000 target 'myspellbook' // Razor > Scripts > Options > Add Spellbook within your bag endif replay
I used this for 3 of my characters after the recent resist event. GM magery has never been easier, thanks for making this.
I love seeing skill-gain automations shared, thank you for getting this out there! And thank you for doing it in script format-- our forums have an overwhelming number of macros that are difficult to understand without cut/pasting them in, so it stands to reason that most readers won't take the time to consider the contents thoughtfully. In that vein, please consider the following a code review.... that is, I have some suggestions that might improve what you have here, but I support the thrust of what you're doing and how you've done it and would like to see it adopted Suggestion for simpler script-setup generally: have your restock agent restock all materials needed for the entire script. E.g. in the case of magery, have a single one which restocks 10x of all 8 reagents. Restocking only takes ~600ms per item moved into your inventory(500ms + your ping time). If you're restocking 3 items, the 3500ms wait you have baked in here could be shortened to 1800ms or so.... Seems trivial, but over the course of several thousand casts it'll save you several hours. The timeouts in `wait` could be tuned-- 3500-4000ms is neither low enough to save time, nor high enough to account for server saves without doing something weird. Generally speaking, you want to either wait forever (Razor times out at 60 seconds anyway), for 16 seconds (to allow for a server save), or the exact amount of time you expect if you need really tight timing for some reason. For skill macroing, I'd recommend just going with the 16000ms delay to allow for server saves. This script will attempt to cast resurrection even if you don't have enough mana: it meditates if mana is <35, but it may not recover to >50 in the 15 seconds of meditation. I suggest changing that block to: Code: if mana < 50 skill 'meditation' pause 10000 loop // <--- this will cause it to check again if there's enough mana, and re-meditate if still not enough This script will keep eating up reagents even if you've GM'd magery... it prints an overhead message if you're at GM, but keeps on casting. I suggest changing the last line to: Code: if skill 'magery' < 100.0 loop endif Finally, if you're optimizing for *time* rather than efficient use of reagents, you're better off casting spells as soon as you're capable of succeeding even a small fraction of the time. For my characters (which I usually get to GM resist in an event before I've decided what template they'll be) I do: Code: vendor trained -> 50 (shown skill): lightning 50 -> 60: paralyze 60 -> 70: energy bolt 70 -> 80: flamestrike 80 -> 100: resurrection All spells targeted at my spellbook because again, I'm getting resist elsewhere. This does cost more than if you cast flamestrike all the way to GM, but it's noticeably faster.
Ahh I see, it does have a check for magery < 100 before casting res. It'll loop indefinitely, but it won't eat regs.
Appreciate the response, This script is purposely imperfect. I once had a friend who wouldn't try UO because he "didn't have a computer science degree". This is to show someone without any experience they can fumble through a lot of this to accomplish what they are trying to do. You could condense this script a lot and make it much more efficient but it will GM your magery in about 2 days or so. Perfect for a casual new player and it also introduces them to creating agents in razor and calling variables they've added in themselves. Many things could change such as setting the variables within the script instead of doing them manually. You do seem to have a good understanding of programming and I appreciate the well thought out response.
@shinra tensei question for you. I copied everything exactly as shown with the exception all targeting is my spell book. However, when I am running it (current shown skill imagery is 56) it'll go to cast Mana Drain and follow up with a Flame strike. Now, I believe that shouldn't be the case right? It should continue to spam Mana Drain until I cross 60 then move to invisibility. Any thoughts as to why its casting Flamestrike?
