Getting stuck in auto-hunting.

[LuisMenethil]

Hello again, guys.

I would like some tips on how to auto-hunt more efficiently. Several times I leave my dwarf hunting a specific mob and after a while she gets stuck behind somewhere trying to reach the next mob.

Is there any way around this problem? I'm hunting for books in North Enchanted Valley.

Same problem.

The basic idea is to delimit the hunting area by using an anchor character so that you farm always near the anchor. This can be done with macro in at least two ways:

1. Farm for a while then retreat to the anchor.

2. Put anchor char to sit down with autohunt on and you assist him with macro. This option is kind of buggy, at least for me.

 

Example for 1:

/autohuntingoff

/target Buffer

/attack Buffer

/delay 1

/authuntingon

/delay 8

Hunting a specific mob is more complex to setup.

/autohuntingoff and /autohuntingon
I didn't know about these commands. Thanks.

Thanks. Can you teach me how to hunt a specific mob too?
