I heard some people wanted to sacrifice runes in big quantities? UPDATED #2

EDIT:
All the extra options people asked for have been added in!

We have also figured out what caused the bug some people experienced:
The bug where the sharding stops or skips certain runes is caused when meanwhile you're sharding you're also performing other actions with your account on the website. Please restrain from doing this and it should work just fine!



It took us a bit but we have an awesome desktop application in order to sacrifice runes in big quantities.

How to set it up:
- After downloading the file you’ll have to open the zipped folder.
- In the folder you have to extract the Poxbros_Mass_Shard_1.7 along with the "Files" folder which should be in the same directory as the .EXE

A few things to note:
- You will need to log in using your Poxnora information so that the app can add your checklist (the information is not stored anywhere).
- After logging in you will need to wait around 30sec for the app to load.
- The speed of sacrificing runes depends entirely upon your computer's latency to the poxnora.com server. In tests we have seen sacrificing speeds of anywhere from 10 per second to 1 per second! So, if you’re sacrificing big quantities of runes, be sure that you can leave your computer on for a long amount of time (as it can take up quite some time!)
- Sacrificing your runes is irreversible!
- Most of all enjoy the way to mass shard all your spares, haha!

Some notes about how to use the app:

You can sac runes in one of two ways by changing the mode with the radio dial:

1. Mass Sac: In this mode, you set a threshold and sac all runes in excess of that threshold of selected rarities (C/U/R only - we didnt want anyone accidentally saccing their exos). In this mode, selecting a rune's individual checkbox means to skip the rune during the mass sacrifice.
2. Manual Sac: In this mode, you can individually select runes by checking the checkbox for the rune, selecting the rune's row, pressing F2 on your keyboard, and then entering a custom quantity into the first column.

Note that Mass Shard follows the same rules that the rune forge does: Can't sack Le/Li runes and cant sac runes from the current release set.

 

This is great, nice work. If you're planning any future revisions, would you add the ability to sac by faction? I don't play FS, KF, or UD and always end up sharding them unless I trade to Poxbox.

 

I'll take a look into it, depending on the cost for it, I might add this option!

We tried our best with this one, haha!

I understand, but there was no real way around that. As stated in the post, the information does not get saved anywhere, so it doesn't really get shared.

The login creds are transmitted directly to poxnora.com via HTTPS. The creds are never written to hard disk or saved, and are certainly never "shared" with anyone. You can easily verify this by monitoring web traffic on your PC with Wireshark or Fiddler while Mass Shard runs and you will see the only place Mass Shard communicates with is poxnora.com. In that regard, it is identical to your web browser.

 

Fiddler is great, I haven't tried sharding yet since I don't have anything to shard, but I did open it up and login, as @newsbuff said, poxnora.com is the only destination and it is all HTTPS. I tend to use fiddler whenever I'm trying out a free application someone provides.

 

Um, this is ridiculous... (-ly awesome).

Thank you.

 

I've been throwing my lvl3s up on the trader temporarily so they aren't part of the forge. Seems to work well. I downloaded this but have no idea what i'm supposed to do with fiddler so I will wait a few days for some more feedback before I start using it. If it is legit (probably is) it's a pretty great initiative.

 

It currently does not take CP into account but it skips all runes that are in a BG

Feel free to test it out with an alt if you're not convinced!

If some people already used the application, please feel free to post feedback in this thread!

Just put them in a BG. Mass Shard automatically skips runes that are in a BG.

 

kids these days


what will they think of next

 

He said he was adding them to trades, I think this at least is a bit easier for him.

 

I trust PoxBrothers as much as the next guy, and I have no reason to speak against him, so don't take this the wrong way.

Elephant in the room: Has anyone tested app in a controlled environment? I want to be sure my log-in information does not get copied, stored, sent etc.

I have a bud in the NSA that could do this but he's probably too busy spying on me.

 

I have a virtual machine I test free apps in, and I use Fiddler to make sure nothing wonky is going on. This was good.

 

The only thing I'd advise then, if you ever update the app, to test it again after the update.

 

I am considering of adding in the option to shard per faction and to add an option not to shard CPed runes (full CP).

This will probably be done in 3 to 4 days from now as I first want to take in other feedback or suggestions from players in order to make one big update (several small updates are more expensive than one big one)!
