Skinning, the first time about portal HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm,

I never seen this behaviour or lack of with skinning, but I have seen it with herbalism. The only way to get started is to login as the bot and collect the first herb manually. After that it works fine. What I suspect is happening is that the bots skill value is initally zero. So as it starts, If the requirement is one or greater the collection will fail. With a player it's skill level will slowly increase, even if it fails to collect. I will take a closer look at this and ensure that the bots start with a skill value of one for all professions or include code that will increase bot skill level should it fail.

With skinning it may again be a failure due to inadequate skill level. A player skinner will be told if it's skill level is too low, I don't think this occurs with bots. Better notifications required.. ;)

Okay, didnt know for sure. I know with herbalism you have to tell them to get one time , after logging them out to get them to collect, but with skinning, they always will without having ot "reset" them with "get". So I didn't know if it worked the same way.

and I wasn't trying to give you more work by posting this haha, just a good way to keep track of little things that might need attention! Thanks for looking!
