Aenathel's Lazy Antiquarian Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.2.1

by: Aenathel [More]

This add-on allows you to scry for the best scryable antiquity, by rarity, in your current zone using a keybind.

You can choose to only scry repeatable antiquities and/or only scry activities up to a certain difficulty.

By default, Smart Scry only considers repeatable antiquities of Simple, Intermediate, and Advanced difficulty.

Dependencies
The following dependencies are needed for the add-on to work:

LibAddonMenu-2.0

1.2.1 - 2021-06-02
Fixed a display issue for languages that use control characters in antiquity names. Thanks DaBear78!

1.2.0 - 2021-06-02
Updated for Blackwood.

1.1.0 - 2021-05-29
Renamed Auto-scry to Smart Scry to avoid giving the impression that this addon automates the scrying process.

Fixed antiquities filter so wrong antiquities are not used in Smart Scrying.

Don't announce scrying of an antiquity if it cannot be scried because of being in combat etc.

Remove startup message and LibChatMessage dependency.

Add German localization provided by Baertram.

1.0.0 - 2021-05-24
Initial release.

It seems simple enough from here, but I know that "seems simple" and "is easy to implement" are not always the same thing. Beyond that, though, this is a huge improvement to the scrying experience, at least in the early days: it has made dealing with zones where I have a pile of scrying to do for lore and yellow leads while levelling much easier.

an the ^m or ^f is gone. Don't know if it's the best solution, but it works for me

I wasn't aware that would happen, but from what I can tell, your fix is the right way to handle it.

I'll get the fix included in the next release, thanks!

The German translations have been added in v1.1.0. I have also removed the startup message behavior. Thank you!

This issue has been fixed in v1.1.0, at least as far as I can tell. Do tell if you experience it again!

Also done in v1.1.0, thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for the translations! I'll get them added in the next release.

I see your point about startup messages. I actually agree that they are not needed, so I'm going to remove them from my addons as I update them.

Just need to finish setting up pipelines in Azure DevOps for my projects, I'm getting tired of updating addons by hand.

Awesome, that is good to know. Thanks!

That is definitely not intended, and I haven't experienced that myself.

Can you give me an example of a zone and antiquity that this happens with?

Autoscry as in automatically picking the best antiquity to scry in your current zone. I realize that the name can be a bit misleading, but it was the best I could come up with.

As Baertram said, any kind of automatic scrying would be against the Terms of Service, and probably wouldn't be possible using the available addon APIs, anyway.

If you can think of somthing that would help make scrying/excavation easier, without being against the ToS, please let me know and I'll consider it/see if it's possible.

Yeah, and automatically searches for chests and loots them, moves your char to the bank automatically and sells items to guild traders...

This add-on allows you to automatically scry for the best scryable antiquity, by rarity, in your current zone using a keybind.

Auto-scry seems to be a setting in the settings menu of this addon and means, like described, "automatically choose the best scryable antiquity from your given list".

If any addon would be able to automatically scry (which is not possible due to ZOs restrictions, for god's sake) this would be botting and the addon would be against TOS, as you could imagine/answer yourself
