ok, so what happens when you hit one of those highly annoying 'you have found a rich source...' or 'you have located a ..' deals. is that what the ui action toolbarslott00 is for? i thought that just kept repeating the macro. i personally set one up like this

/sample

/pause 345 (to use up all action)

/stand

/pause 400 (to regen action)

/macro [macro name]

oh and by the way does anybody know how to stop a repeating macro without going in and removing the command to repeat.

Fanof, stopping macros is /dump as in "Dump macro."

It repeats the macro indeed, but when you get that annoying "found a rich sample" it will just "skip", and at the next run, you will keep getting samples (altough you will have a lot of "Rich sample" windows to close when you come back.

To stop the macro at anytime, either move the button to another tool bar slot (so the /ui action toolbarSlot00 hits an "empty " slot), or type /dump

Actually, after gathering the things for Chef, i came up with an idea. I noticed that if you do that macro, in the long run, by sitting/standing/kneeling, the character will eventually move. A small bit at a time, but over a whole night, you could end up on a spawn of red mobs (and come back with your character "sampling" in a clone center...) SO

I made an adjustment to my macro. I brought my mount with me, and told him to Stay. Then i scanned for the ressource. I added in my macro a /follow command (after the stand, before the sample) with a /pause 3 after... then selected my pet... and started the macro So if you character goes farther than 30 meters from the pet, it will walk back to it, making it impossible for you to wander too far

i have to wonder if either im doing something wrong or if this xp im getting is a joke on the devs part. I am working on survey 3 and start to wonder why when i am getting more units in my samples that i am NOT getting more xp per unit. I can get 1 unit in a sample for 20 or so xp but when i get a 5 6 or 7 unit sample i only get 30 or so xp. hell, even when i hit a huge :S 36 unit sample i still only get about 40 xp.why is it that in every other skill tree the higher up you go the more xp you are able to get but with surveying it stays the same. i guess i am complaining since survey 4 takes 10000 xp, but at the current xp i am getting that is a VERY LONG TIME having to spend surveying. so like i said am i doing something wrong or is their something amiss in the surveying equation.

Your not doing anything wrong, its Dev's logic.

Bah Here, gonna give you the trick.

Macro this :

------------------------

/stand;

/pause 4;

/sample;

/pause 3;

/sit;

/pause 28;

/ui action toolbarSlot00

----------------------------

Then put this macro in the first slot of your tool bar. Go to somewhere with a good % of ressources, scan for it, then hit the button. Go to sleep, and when you wake up in the morning, TADA !!!! 10k xp !!!!

With a macro it took me an afternoon to grind my way to Surveying IV (max xp of about 34 for any one sample). I just kept checking back every so often to see if I could go and get trained in a level.

Use Jedi-Indrilia's macro as it includes the sit command which will help you regen action quicker.

I also migrated stats specifically for being able to sample as quickly as possible, I'd recommend it. I was able to sample at maximum speed.

Finally, as was said above, using this macro you will shuffle forward over a period of hours. To prevent this I just faced myself into a harvester so I couldn't wander off.
