Hackling Rake

  • Start the script by hitting Ctrl+Alt+W. It will walk you through the setup with GUI menus.
  • Might work on Flaxing Comb (would have to see if menus match the Rake's menus, I'm too lazy to verify)
  • Hover a black letter in the word Endurance, in skills tab (A continuous tooltip will let you know when you are hovering black) and press F2 to set location to monitor. Next hover this in your Rake's pinup menu: "Seperate Rotten Flax (Step 1, Remove Straw)" and press F2 to record click location.
  • Monitors the red/black text in skills tab so that it clicks at maximum speed. Won't click while the skills text (Endurance) is in red. Eat endurance food to work the rake faster.
  • Menu has recently changed (I think). The seperate/process flax options and the clean rake is no longer on the same line, in menu. This script addresses that issue.


  • The way the script works is that it clicks your recorded postition on Step 1: Remove Straw and Step 4: Cleaning the Rake.
  • It offsets the originally recorded click position by +15 (for Step 2 and 3).
  • If you resolution is really high, then maybe try adjusting the 2 lines that say: NewY := ClickY + 15. Try changing +15 to a lower number (if it is clicking too high) or a lower number (if it is clicking too low on 2nd menu choice). Most likely, it would be in the +10 to +13 range to correct a higher resolution offset.


  • Updated: 12/13/2011 - Now adds a routine to check for popup boxes and stop if one is detected. This would be if you are using a flax comb (not a hacking rake) and it breaks. Idea for the beginning of a new tale before the Rakes are available.
  • Updated: 2/23/2010 - It now will ask you to enter the amount of rotten flax your are processing. Since the rake only processes 10 at a time, it will round down. So even if you enter an odd amount like 103, it will know it needs to run the cycle 10 times (10 times 10 = 100). Upon processing all your rotten flax (in increments of 10), it will inform you its done and stop the script.
  • Updated: 3/05/2010 - Speeded up mouse movements, minor update...
  • Updated: 3/26/2010 - Added GUI menu to keep track of process.
  • Updated: 10/15/2010 - Added subroutine to eat grilled food while working.. It will now ask if you are eating grilled food. If Yes, then it will eat a grilled food immediately upon starting script, then every 10 teppy minutes. The GUI status will show a count down timer to show when it will eat the next grilled food.


Hackling Rake menu is now:

  • Step 1, Remove straw (1st option on menu)
  • Step 2, Seperate (2nd option on menu) (Clean rake is now at top, "Take..." is now 2nd)
  • Step 3, Refine, (2nd option on menu) (Clean rake is now at top, "Take..." is now 2nd)
  • Step 4, Clean Rake (1st option on menu)


Note: You should be able to process 70 rotten flax with 2 endurance, on flax comb/rake, before your grilled food wears off (based on 0 endurance +2 endurance from grilled onions).


  • Code Reposted on Jan 23, 2012 - There seemed to have been an extra line break in the script causing error on Line 34. It should be ok now.
