Thread: Merchant Grinding Macro (Yes, it is possible!)

Dumb Question?
Does this macro give XP if the vendors are yours? Or do you need a non-owner to use the vendors to get the XP?
You need to have friends (or pay people off) to run the macro. Vendor owners never get XP for viewing their own vendors.
I have been running this macro for a few days now. When I leave it for a little while and let it run, when I go back to check on it, my toon is out of the house andin the wild some where. Does the Sit and Stand motion make your character move to a different spot?? Has any one else have this happen to them??

ok another dumb question. how does this macro run in a ten min rotation? and can you give the best updated form of the macro out there?
thanks
It actually runs in a minute rotation so that in cases of lag a missed update doesn't hamper you too much. It also serves as an anti-idle running on such a short duration. I haven't done anything personally to modify this more since I first figured it out. There probably isn't a whole lot of modifications that will makea difference in this particular case since you can't speed up the timeframe for vendor view exp in any way.

yes and make shure your toon is faceing a wall or corner lol or you will find your self out in the wild lol
Yep, that was quickly discovered due to sit and stand in macros for some reason moving you slightly. As long as you aren't facing the door you are ok though.
If the house has an entry fee you'll end up out in the wild too eventually.

man I love this macro, I've been getting 40k exp a day which is pretty cool. should be able to master merchant in like 8 days.
Side question what should I get after mangement? I started on the first 2 boxes of ad? is that okay or sould I hit something else?
Glad to hear ya like it.
After management finish up advertising, then efficiency and finally hiring. When you can list vendors on the map you'll get additional random hits from people that see them on the map which helps a bit.
you can not, as far as i understand, it need to be a friend, or a customer.
50XP per ten min on the vendor refresh
150 per hour per Vendor initialized.
plus you get XP for someone in your shop, paying the Access Fee this is set at the min of 15 min.
all told somewhere it is posted it would take 23 days, with out someone helping you
that is placing a new vendor each time you can and only recieving the XP from the Vendors initialized.

How are you doing this. I ran 4 accts using the macro and only got a little around 10k of exp for 12 hours. I am only a novice merchant. Does the exp get better as you get more vendors?
Multiple people running it most likely. Each person running it tacks on 300 XP/hr provided they are running the whole hour. This is in addition to vendor exp itself which is 150/hr per vendor. Your total sounds a little lower than it should be though.
How many vendors do you have up? The total I came up with for 1 vendor up in your situation was 16.8k exp. 2 vendors which I believe is the max at novice merchant brings that total to 18.6k. If one of the vendors isn't in the same location make sure it is loaded on the server occasionally by running past it. The XP will update with all the missed ticks for that vendor.
Hehe, running this with 10 people nonstop my calculations came out to about 4 days.

That's pretty much a best case scenario though since it's unlikey you'd find 10 people willing to give up 4 whole days to sit in your shop running a macro. I actaully have 2 accounts macroing this during they day, then they play as normal, so it helps
they leave their PC on when going to work
you get 150 XP per Vendor max is 6 vendors.
which is 900XP an hour
