    Question Anyone have any Elf City scripting advice?

    How ambitious would it be for me to want my second script to pickpocket the different clans of Elf City?

    By the end of next week I'll finally get all the levels required for elf city, and I'm curious at how hard it is to bot there.
    • Is SPS buggy with the small walk ways?
    • Are there frequent bot sightings within the city?
    • (And on that note) Is there a higher chance of being banned if you do bot in Elf City?
    • How many elf city scripts are already present for members with srl junior+? (I don't want to spam my way to 30 posts to find out XD)

    1. As far as I know, SPS works fine.
    2. not really? its all high level people, so they like to think no one would risk an account and bot there.
    3. probably not, unless its under 'bot watch' or something
    4. a few? @J_R; has an agility (i think) script and @Clarity; has a harp one. and hes been working on a sort of elf city AIO that does a bunch of stuff.

    I made one when there were only 4 clans that sorta kinda worked and found that SPS gets stuck and freaks out really badly in places like the bottom of trahearn near the furnace or in the Iowerth temple. I'm not sure that this is still true (or whether it's gotten worse), but I think it probably is. Some of the time SPS gets confused with the walkways, but it seemed to mostly work.

    The issue that made me drop it though was having a tough time trying to figure out when the clan was unpickpocketable (combined with the nerf, decided it wasn't worth continuing)

    I've never had anyone call me a bot while trying to make it either, the only real bots people are aware of in Elf City are the Seren stone autoclicker retards who sit there clicking vexes for 4 hours straight. I'd say you prob have less of a chance being banned in elf city since the 'useful' stuff is mostly afk anyway so you prob won't get reported.

    I don't think I can tell you anything about the JR Members section other than the fact that my Hefin Agility Course is there :P

    Is SPS buggy with the small walk ways? I never use SPS anymore, you can do walks based on other things like minimap symbols and NPC dot TPAs, it's also a good idea to incorporate mainscreen walking anyway.
    Are there frequent bot sightings within the city? Every activity is so AFK that unless your bot messes up in some obvious way (accidentally attacking NPCs and dying to them...misclicking once and being forever broken, etc) you will never be called out.
    (And on that note) Is there a higher chance of being banned if you do bot in Elf City? Nobody knows. No reason to believe it's any different from any other place.
    How many elf city scripts are already present for members with srl junior+? (I don't want to spam my way to 30 posts to find out XD) Thieving is currently not available in juniors.

    To help with navigation you can use crystal teleport seeds. Good luck

    So a non SPS bot is feasible... hmmmm.
    When I updated my cannonball script I did use minimap symbols... How does one use NPC dots to navigate? I didn't know that was possible, but that's epic if it is!
    Thanks Clarity!

    Others have covered lots of stuff but I'll toss in my two cents on your first question (Is SPS buggy with the small walk ways?)

    I find that paths comprised of only two or three points can present problems, my maps are perfect (thanks to BMWxi's SPS World Map project) and longer paths work fine, but short ones tend to veer off course pretty often in my experience.

    If you've got to walk somewhere that's less than one minimap-length away, I'd recommend looking into .blindWalk() or .walkToPos().

    Clarity, is there a thieving bot at all? If so, what's the reason it's not available to Jr? I was going to write and OGL thiever, if it's "allowed" (refer to question number 2).

    I wrote a simple one awhile back (Batch 1) for half of the clans for my own purposes, not really perfected for public release. It follows our old mainloop style though, if you're going to make one you should use your new mainloop style with obsLibrary. It'll be super easy with the map position functions.

    Nobody has monopolies on script ideas here. If you make a script you can post it wherever you want, regardless of whether one exists already. Usually people who want to keep their script reasonably exclusive post it in SRL Members+, SSRL+, etc. With the amount people who spam for Junior rank, it's not a very exclusive board at all, but I'm okay with that because there's a good percentage of juniors who are promising and helpful.

    OGL is not officially supported, that's pretty much it. There are no rules about where you can post OGL scripts or anything, it's just a different method, like reflection in OSRS. Our OGL tutorials just happen to be in members because the authors posted them there. ClarityDG will be a full public release.

    I generally like to keep high-level PvM/high-profit scripts exclusive, because I think those that have knowledge, contribution, and skill deserve them far more than John I-registered-3-minutes-ago-and-want-free-money-plox-without-learning-anything-or-contributing-any-scripts-and-I-will-complain-if-I-don't-get-my-way Doe.

    Thieving isn't a massive gamechanger gold farming script so the above doesn't really apply. It's just a random 99 skill. But for the tormented demons script, rorarii, god wars, corporeal beast, it would.

    Just pick something you'd rather not have to do yourself (stuff that you could do yourself but can write a script for should come later, ex. thieving), most of the stuff in elf city is pretty afk and writing a script for it isn't too bad unless you want it to be absolutely perfect :P

    A good thing to initially start with is harps as it's probably the simplest thing in RS to write a script for (find harp -> click harp -> wait a few secs -> find harp). Another suggestions would be a seren stone miner, two good easy things you can get working before trying something harder (you can get the basics from these and build them up into other tasks rather than jumping directly into a full araxxor script and going 'wtf im so lost nothing is working')

    I think the problem with pickpocketing here is that you can only do it a certain amount of times per day and then all the elves can no longer be pickpocketed. So its not really ideal to create a bot for this.

    It's most definentaly worth! The elves reset after twenty minutes. You can effectively hop between 4-5 elf clans and pickpocket them forever and ever and ever!



    It's not gay if it's efficient.

    Lol. It is definitely worth it to create a script for this, if I had more time maybe I would fix/redo my old one. Not to mention, it would probably have a few bugs that are rather unintuitive such as some clan workers randomly losing your 'pickpocketing aggro' when they get separated from you diagonally, by the meilyr musicians for example.

    The only reason it would not be worth it would be worth it is if you're not into the profit that you get from it, which for the fast xp rate and Jagex's recent buff, should not be the case, esp since its like 800k-1mish per hour counting the rewards from the clan and the gp. If you run out of elves to pickpocket...well you may just be bad because I've never had to thieve more than 5 at a time, sometimes even 4 clans only works just fine, back in elf city patch 1 my thiever had maybe 2-3 minutes downtime between the 4 available clans (when it didnt bug out :P).

    A thieving script in priff would be epic
    it would have to bank too though when inv is full which shouldnt be too bad.
