Image Designer Archive

heres an Image design macro ive pulled together for myself over the past couple of days....
It can be used either on yourself or a friend, simply edit the target name as necessary when you start. Ive found the best set up is to have 1000 mind, 500 focus and a healthy shot of muon gold. This will give you 10 mins quality grinding time, and will furnish you with either 15,000 or 3,600 ID experience (depending on if you have a mate or are working solo) per run, followed by a short 5 minute crash whilst on your muon downer. Only one real point to make, and thats that if you are grinding on a friend, DONT click anywhere on screen or target anything etc, by all means chat, but you can lock out the ability to ID that person, or yourself till the next server reboot if you accidentally lock onto another target, or loose the lock on your partner mid session.
Call the macro ID then enter the following:-

./target self;
./im;
./imagedesignSetValue eye_color 8;
./pause 3;
./macro ID

the "target" can be either yourself, or any named player..
In order to be a little more user friendly, change the value of the eye color to match whatever your current victim has, this value can be found by starting an ID session, and looking for the number under the color palette, which should display the current option the character has.
I found a 3 second pause was adequate to allow someone the time to click the accept button, without draining your mind to the extent that you are incapped once the muon you are using wears out.

It can also be handy to write a "timer" macro to let you know how long you and your buddy have left before the session ends (when the muon downer kicks in) the one i used was something along the lines of:

Timer
./ui action toolbarSlot 01; ***stick your muon in the F2 slot***
./macro ID; *** calls the ID grinder macro for you***
./Pause 60;
9 minutes remaining;
./pause 60;
8 mins remaining;
......
./pause 60;
1 min remaining;
./pause 50;
10 seconds remaining;
./pause 10;
Muon rush is over, ending session;
./dump

as you can see, the timer is also used to invoke the ID macro, and use your muon, so its pretty handy all round.

Total time to gain Master ID using a macro:-

7 hrs (approx) with a grinding partner (using approx 28 shots of muon gold) 29hrs (approx) solo (using approx 116 shots of muon gold)
