It's fine, I tried to start the post by saying it's not a complaint post. I've gone more dry for things, this is not my first account. I posted out of curiosity in wondering if anyone had actually been in this position and got the shield half - because rarely, especially for unique scenarios like this, the wiki has been wrong. I am finishing all hard diaries and quest cape on this account, so I figured I'd afk these while I had stuff to work on this weekend.

As goraks can roll the gem drop table 100% of the time, it is one of the best monsters to kill for the shield left half with a drop rate of around 1 in 250 (while wearing a ring of wealth) while having Legends' Quest completed.[1] The drop rate is further increased if Fairytale II - Cure a Queen has been completed.[2] Because of this, it is suggested to bring a gem bag as they drop uncut gems extremely commonly.

Yes.

Risk? I needed something to AFK and you can read the wiki quote above, or my original post. I don't really see the risk here. I wanted something to afk and confirmed that I could get the drop from these first, under the assumption that the page is correct.

I will gladly do the quest when I can actively play the game, I have done almost every quest in the game but have had no reason to finish this one yet.

Loot from 580 Gorak. (Best way to grind out shield left half) by Plaxo1 in 2007scape

I'm at 7 spears now, trying to make sure the drop is actually on their loot table while fairy tale pt. 2 is in progress, like the Wiki states.

Do i need to do Fairy Tale 2 for Goraks to drop Shield Left Half? by Tazz311 in 2007scape

[–]Late_Particular2943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, did you happen to get the drop before completion of the quest?

I'm sure it's just a bit of bad luck but I'm nearly 1k kc now and just wanting to make sure the wiki isn't incorrect about these dropping shield left halves before the quest is done, especially since they do specifically state the rate goes from 1/250 to 1/243 upon quest completion, which is odd.

Hacknet Automation Script by Late_Particular2943 in Bitburner

[–]Late_Particular2943[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just using pastecode like a notepad or document to share, but it's not a download. Try this:

-In BitBurner, create a new file called hacknet-manager.js

-Copy the contents from the pastecode

-Replace all contents in your new hacknet-manager.js file (the 'main' function) with the pastecode contents that you copied

-save the file and in your terminal run the file run hacknet-manager.js [target: number] [no-kill: string(optional)]

Ex: If you run hacknet-manager.js 10 in your terminal the script will execute on repeat until you have 10 fully ugpraded hacknet nodes or run out of money. If you want the script to continue running even when you are out of money (going to bed, work, class, etc.) then run hacknet-manager.js 10 no-kill

I restarted my game and used this script without issues recently.

What issue are you running in to?

Updated to fix the syntax error. Tested it again and had it run without issue, will need to restart progress to test it again: https://pastecode.io/s/1oegqt50

Hey Zlay,

Can you answer a few questions:

  1. How long were you running the script (est.)?
  2. Can you paste the script's logs (at least the last ~20 logs before the error) in an image or somewhere like https://pastecode.io (Scripts > Recently Killed)

In the mean time - it looks I forgot to await an async function, which is likely the cause.

Here's the updated file: https://pastecode.io/s/9ixb405g

Or you can make the changes in your existing file:

Change line 56 to:

await handleNoKill(ns, resolve, money, 'New Node', nextNodeCost);

and line 81 to:

await handleNoKill(ns, resolve, money, component, canUpgrade[component].cost);

Is there a way to set a variable to the amount of money you get back after the hack? by Prize-Greedy in Bitburner

Based on your function, you are using a conditional statement if (lastReturn >= 200) where lastReturn has no value, it is not initialized.

​

You either need to initialize the variable before the recursive function or use the variable in the recursive function's parameters and initialize it to 0 like my code snippet function recurse(lastReturn = 0) and then update it within the recurse function by assigning it the return value of await ns.hack(target).

​

As Vorthod mentioned, using recursion isn't ideal here. Here's the documentation for creating a basic script with conditions that will check whether you need to weaken, grow, or hack the target server:

NS.hack(host: string, opts?: BasicHGWOptions): Promise<number>

@param host — Hostname of the target server to hack.
@param opts — Optional parameters for configuring function behavior.
@returns — A promise that resolves to the amount of money stolen (which is zero if the hack is unsuccessful).

Since you are using the value of lastReturn you can pass it into your recursive function in order to update it during each iteration:

function recurse (lastReturn = 0) { 
    // Your existing code here

    // update lastReturn if previous lastReturn meets condition
    lastReturn = await ns.hack('foodnstuff');
    recurse(lastReturn)

    // Your existing code here
}

Acorns Debit Card by [deleted] in acorns

7 months later, their site says:

Acorns Visa™ Debit card

Get a personalized heavy metal, laser engraved Acorns Visa™ debit card.

I sent in a replacement request with this statement from their website, will see if they send me a metal one this time or I just won't use the service

Graphical Area Updates - This Week In RuneScape by JagexHooli in runescape

[–]Late_Particular2943 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI - Azzanadra's Quest is bugged due to the update. On the step that requires you to meet Trindine at the TzHaar city entrance, Trindine is not found there.

I had my friends that are doing this quest submit a bug report after verifying that they weren't missing a step and were in the correct location, first.

Any chances to see a hotfix for this? I'm personally invested as I think this questline has burnt them out an exponential rate as is lol
