2. Open the PB window by clicking the 'Bot Config' button in HB
3. Select one of the profiles in the profile list on the left side of the config window and press 'Load Profile' button (or double-click it)
4. If the profile has any settings attached to it a new tab named 'Profile Settings' will be loaded in the right side of the window. Adjust the settings if needed and close PB's windo
5. Press the 'Start' button in Honorbuddy

How do I make profiles?

Refer to the guide included with PB.


Want to help localize Professionbuddy in your language? Here's how:

Browse to the Professionbuddy/Localization folder and make a copy of the Strings.xml file.
Rename the Strings.xml copy to Strings. LANGUAGE-REGION.xml or Strings.LANGUAGE.xml where Language is the 2 letter language code and REGION is the 2 letter region code.
An example is Settings.en-US.xml and Settings.en.xml. Append only the language code unless there is allot of discrepancy in the language from different regions.
You can get the language and region codes here Language Codes (Internet Explorer)
Once you have correctly named the the file you just open it and convert it to your language.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: Why does PB use so much CPU power?
A: PBs CPU usages depends largely on the PB profile that is currently loaded and running. It's core uses very little CPU. Any function that needs to read a memory value from wow under the hood can be expensive. e.g. Mining.Level (at the time of this writing there is a bug in the GUI that makes it use allot of CPU when it is open, so close the GUI when HB is running for max performance)

Q: Why do I get the error, System.Exception: Unable to load NameOfTradeskillHere ?
A:This is usually caused by a WoW Addon, for example Elvui. Disabled the conflicting addon

Will ask my question again.

Hey guys, I'm new to professionbuddy really.
I'm just using the AHBot and been looking up in the profiles a little.

What I want, is that PB buys the herbs/ores that undercut my auctions, and post them again as the same price I am selling them.
Is that possible to realize, and if, how?
Anyone who can help me with this issue?

Use "Buy Item From AH' action with 'max Buyout' set to 1 copper less then your selling price and a 'Sell Item to AH' with 'Min Buyout' set to your selling price.
Put those in a while Condition="true" along with actions to withdraw from mail.

Hello! How can I use variables in PB profile code for some calculations? I've tried, but calculations with user settings worked only =(

Can anybody give me syntax example of declare and use integer/float variables? Like that:
var1=true;
if((bool)var1)
var1=Hasnewmail

I'd be very grateful =)

you can not declare any global variables but you can make use of these static variables var1 - var9.
Since these are object variables you can assign them to any type. You just need to cast them to the type that it contains when checking it's value.

Hey highvoltz, thanks a lot for getting those coordinate issues fixed, it's actually working now. For me this was pb's biggest flaw to date and now it's gone.

I 'm having issues with my druids and GB2 as of late. No matter which class I use, they gather about half of what my pallies gather and it seems to be due to the bot not dismounting properly most of the time it finds an ore node. Now I thought pb could make me work around this. I'm usually not the type to ask other people to do my dirty work for me, but this is kinda advanced bot programming for me, since there's a huge gap between my c# skills and say, yours.

My idea was this: While all conditions=true I let the bot gather as always. While not I let the bot check which conditions arent true, then let him go mail, repair and get food on one hand and if the fullbags criteria arent met and a node is in close proximity (say 5 yards) it will wait a short amount of time (not ingame, just delay the action) and then (if the bot is still in flight form and close to the node after a second) change to anotehr form. I know you know how to handle these wow objects very well since I've seen your fishing profile and you'd be helping a lot of druid owners out if you could make this loop work somehow. Basically its a check if theres an ore node in 5yards proximity which I expect to be really simple one line programming for you... *blush*

Also, does anyone have any idea on how to implement the api call "durability, ,= GetInventoryItemDurability(slot)" into a while loop? It should basically look like this: while weapon slots current durability *2 / weapon slots maximum durability > 1 --> gather. I'd implement this in my whiule me.freenormalbagslots>1 loop with the && operator. If either condition isn't met, start the repair/mail routine. I'm willing to play around a little, I just don't know where to start with these two issues and any help would be greatly appreciated.

be sure that if you do help, im gonna study the results thoroughly and itd be a major boost for my c skills. If it wasn't for all these real life obligations I would've gotten into c++ long ago (i know its not c#, but c++ would just be lovely to know).

Hey Highvoltz, I posed these questions when you first released PB and I am faced with it again. I suspect I do not understand the WHILE loop and IF statement but hopefully you can help me. I am trying to write simple scripts and posted some here for people to use: Jewelcrafting / Disenchanting for profit

As described in the post, the script will create an item and disenchant it. It creates two of an item but it should only create 1 of an item. It also give me DE errors, despite the fact that it shouldn't try to DE if there is no object because of the IF statement. Help?

Try putting a 'Wait' below the 'Cast Spell'. The ObjectManager doesn't update instantly so InbagCount() might be returning old results if used right after items in the bags are withdrawn/added.
