Help with Pindle Bot - No luck after 9,000 runs

[RunsWithScissors]

Hi all, I am relatively new to botting. I setup d2jsp using the faq and guide posted in this forum. I am using the Pwnage Pindle bot, and thus far have had no luck. My sorc has 606%mf, and I have let her loose on about 9,000 runs.

Is this normal? I will attach my run log, and the snagit.ini I am using. Am I having bad luck, or is something wrong with the way I have everything setup?

Any help you can offer is appreciated. I am really gunning for tals armor.

Here are the results thus far:

[raDixGhost]

its all luck man dont worry.. iam at 22k rite now and the last good item i found was at 14k and that was a gf

 

[Ferd]

Thats all you got out of 9.5k runs?? Damn, Im glad I switched to meph runs. Attach your snagit.ini file, unless you know you have everything in there that you want.

 

[RunsWithScissors]

I have had pretty good luck with Meph runs, but I want a couple of items that meph can't drop, like IK armor and Tals armor, wouldn't mind a WF either.

I will let it run another 5000 times, and see if my luck improves.

no luck ? i would be happy with those things coz me too i find crap or my bot crashes over night .. at least u gain soem exp too

~~ 400 posts jeezup :doped

Eh?

@coolmission: I read somewhere else in these threads and found a great idea. In your D2jsploader.ini, there is a variable called timetorestart. Its cancelled out, but if you take out the ";" and put in a time for about 30 minutes (converted to ms), you wont lose more then a half hour. I have dial up, so this really helps for when I lose connection in the middle of creating a game.

It should look like this:

TimeToRestart=1800000

Once it hits 30 minutes, it will wait till you finish the run you're on, and then restart.

 

[RunsWithScissors]

Ahhhh!

I am now at 17,000 runs, and not a single WF, Grandfather, Tals Armor or IK Armor.

Anybody else have luck as bad as this? My Sorc is at about 625MF now.

 

[Ferd]

My sorc was runnin at 630. As posted before, its all luck. I did get Ik Armor a few nights ago, but since then Ive only gotton charms and a gaze. If you're lookin to find mass loot, switch to MBM. I filled a few accounts with decent unid items. Youll have to keep a closer eye on your bot because youll have to mule a lot more often. Running meph, you will get enough items to trade for those good ones that drop from Pindle.

But then again... I am running Pindle, cause I want those drops.

 

[raDixGhost]

yea i think if you can leave your computer on for like a day leave pindle bot on, if you can only afford to bot couple of hours get meph bot.

 

[_CM]

i can only run bot on weekends coz then i have a flat rate ... that sux ... but pindle is a b*st*rd best he dropped was eagle and 3 x tal armor but after that , best i found was eth hellsalyer (after 2 weeks)

 

[Ferd]

Damn, thats weak. Only decent items Ive gotton was an eagle, Ik armor, goldstrike, and a hellslayer. All of which Ive gotton off Hell Meph with the exception of Ik armor. All I want is a wf and a gf... maybe a couple rals armors, then Ill be happy. Lol!

My sorc runs 690 MF, does runs in about 8 seconds, and I have only found 1 windforce in 35k runs.

[glow=orange]WAIT DAMNIT. IT WILL COME, SO STOP POSTING SUCH FREAKIN USELESS THREADS.[/glow]​

 

[RunsWithScissors]

Ferd, thanks for the info. It helps to hear that I am not alone

Patience is a virtue it seems, I will wait!

I run Pindle bot while I am at work (A damn 10 hours or so a day), and then Meph at night (significantly fewer hours). So far, Meph has been very good to me, with several Vamps, Shakos, and more Skullders then I can shake a stick at.

If I ever get IK or Tal armor, I will post a screenshot here to celebrate.

@ kao , stop flaming man , calm down , this is not the right place for it ....

 

[PunkInDrublic]

You pick up a lot of crap X[
I skimmed my snagit down to only the worthwhile stuff.

Don't worry, I'm at 10k, and no wf or gf yet for me.
I've got the upper end of 800 MF as well. I got a schaefers early on, but nothing that great since then.

Oh, I DID get an Ohm though. That is 100% luck though. (As opposed to MF, which is 99% :\ )

 

[Kao]

Coolmission: That wasn't a flame. It was to all the idiots who make these threads. (No offense)

 

[KillerMe]

Right now I have 815% MF. For the past couple of days I have only found 1 Storm Shield (Mephisto I run), and nothing else good. I check my log to find out it picked upa crap jewel, a crap charm, and about 10 rejuv potions

 

[evilfrog331]

holy crap 22k runs.... how long does it take to do that?

 

[mjm69]

So far Ive done 33k meph runs and 8 k pindle runs and I have found a shit load of items, like at least 10 of everything meph drops (i.e. shakos, vamps, skullders, etc.) plus like 5 valors and storms, and I found 2 grandfathers, 2 valors, tal armor, ik armor and a lot more from pindle.
