Magic mile delivery refers to the concept of delivering goods or services within a specific mileage radius in an efficient and timely manner. This approach focuses on reducing the distance between the distribution center and the final destination, thereby improving delivery times and customer satisfaction. The magic mile delivery concept is based on the principle that proximity plays a crucial role in ensuring quick and reliable service. By establishing distribution centers or warehouses within a limited radius of the target customers, companies can overcome the challenges associated with long-distance deliveries. This approach is particularly relevant in urban areas where traffic congestion and logistical complexities can significantly impact the efficiency of deliveries. One of the key advantages of magic mile delivery is the ability to offer same-day or even same-hour delivery options to customers.
A notice can be sent to a number of places:
Weapon Warswords of the Valarjar Odyn s Fury Two-Hand and Helya s Wrath Two Hand Hidden Appearance Dragonslayer s Edge Hidden Effect Gaze of the Val kyr When you are killed in battle, a Trial by Combat will trigger. If you re sitting mostly-AFK on a Time-Lost Proto Drake spawn, you probably want the sound that plays to be utterly ridiculous and go on for a good long while, to make sure you don t miss that sucker.
One of the key advantages of magic mile delivery is the ability to offer same-day or even same-hour delivery options to customers. By strategically placing distribution centers in close proximity to densely populated areas, companies can ensure faster turnaround times. This reinforces the customers' perception of swift and reliable service, enhancing their overall experience and encouraging repeat purchases.
SilverDragon
SilverDragon tracks rares. It will try everything possible to notice them and tell you about them.
## How does it search?
Those little skull icons you see on the minimap. If one of them is a rare SilverDragon knows about, it'll yell at you.
If you mouse over or target a rare mob, SilverDragon will notice it.
This is the also how SilverDragon learns about *new* rares in the wild. After you first mouse over or target one, it'll remember it, and start watching for it in the cache in the future.
If you have enemy nameplates turned on, SilverDragon will keep an eye on them to look for the names of known rares. This is the least exact method, because nameplates don't expose the underlying mob's id, so we have to rely on a plain name comparison.
Addons that modify nameplates may interfere with this.
SilverDragon can also create a macro to target any rares that are known in the current zone. You can stick this on your actionbars as a button to spam while chasing after a rare. This is sort of a last resort.
## How will I know when a rare is seen?
When a rare appears, SilverDragon will pop up a frame that you can click on to target it.
Warning: If you're in combat, secure action restrictions mean that it won't show up until combat finishes.
You can choose from assorted sounds to play when a rare is seen. The sound can loop for a while, to make sure you don't miss it.
There's special settings for rares that drop mounts and world boss rares which you might want to call up a group for. If you're sitting mostly-AFK on a Time-Lost Proto Drake spawn, you probably want the sound that plays to be utterly ridiculous and go on for a good long while, to make *sure* you don't miss that sucker.
A notice can be sent to a number of places:
* your scrolling combat text
* your chat frame
* a channel in your chat frame (announcing it to your party, for instance)
* a popup window
* etc
## Other useful things?
In SilverDragon's options you'll find a "Mobs" section. In the "Always" section, you can add any mob you want to be scanned for. All you need to know is the mob id.
So, let's say you wanted to keep an eye out for Lil Timmy in Stormwind, to buy the kitten he sells. You would.
1. Go to his [wowhead page](http://www.wowhead.com/npc=8666/lil-timmy).
1. Grab his id from the URL. It's `8666`.
1. Enter `8666` into the "add" field, and click "okay".
1. Play with your new kitten.
If there's some mob you don't want to hear about for whatever reason, just go to the "Ignore" section of the options. Again, enter the mob's id into the "add" box, then click okay. Bam! You will never again be told that Vern is up.
(Actually, Vern is ignored by default. But you get the idea.)
SilverDragon will talk to itself. It can communicate with other copies of itself run by people in your party / guild, and tell you when they see a rare mob. (If there's a group of you camping all the Time-Lost Proto Drake spawns, say. )
You can turn this off completely, if you want to be private about it.
Some rares are part of an achievement. When you mouse over a rare mob, SilverDragon will add to the tooltip whether you've already killed it, so you know whether you need to rush for it.
SilverDragon includes a Broker plugin. It'll attach itself to your minimap, or a Broker container you have installed, and show you a list of the mobs it knows about in the current zone.
## Other addons you may find useful
* [ServerRestartSound](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/serverrestartsound): plays a sound when the server's about to restart. If you're AFK-camping for a rare spawn, you probably want to know about this.
* [HandyNotes](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/handynotes): integrates with SilverDragon to show icons on zone maps where a rare has been seen.
* [_NPCScan.Overlay](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan-overlay): shows rare mob paths for some rares, and can be told to pop up if SilverDragon sees something.
* [ChocolateBar](http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/chocolatebar): a broker display. SilverDragon's minimap icon will show up on it (or any other addon like it) instead of cluttering up your minimap, if you have it installed.
## Why should I use this instead of _NPCScan?
_NPCScan is all about scanning the cache. If a mob winds up already in your cache, it'll do nothing at all to help you. SilverDragon tries to fall back on more things, to give you the best chance of finding rares.
If you want to run across rares while leveling, SilverDragon helps with that. _NPCScan is solely a max-level tool.
Ultimately it's a matter of personal preference. :-P
## What's new with version 3?
Most of the addon has been rewritten so that its internals are entirely based on mob ids and zone ids, neither of which were available to the client back when 2.0 was written back in early 2009. This was also a great opportunity to stop having to lug so much localization code around.
- Updated for 10.1.5 and then 10.1.7
- Fixed error in classic_era (Vanilla)
- Fixed some errors causing permission errors in combat (10.1.5 protected SetPassThroughButtons)

Furthermore, the magic mile delivery approach can help companies save on transportation costs and reduce their carbon footprint. By shortening the distance traveled, companies can optimize their delivery routes, minimize fuel consumption, and subsequently reduce their impact on the environment. This aspect aligns with the increasing emphasis on sustainability in today's business landscape. Implementing magic mile delivery requires careful planning and integration of technology. Companies need to identify the optimal locations for their distribution centers, considering factors such as population density, accessibility, and local regulations. Additionally, adopting advanced logistics software and tracking systems is crucial to ensure efficient coordination and visibility throughout the delivery process. In conclusion, magic mile delivery is a strategy that focuses on establishing distribution centers within a specific mileage radius to enhance the efficiency and speed of deliveries. This approach offers several benefits, including faster delivery times, improved customer satisfaction, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. By embracing this concept, businesses can stay competitive in the increasingly demanding world of e-commerce and modern consumer expectations..
Reviews for "Making Delivery Dreams Come True: The Promise of Magic Mile Delivery"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to try Magic Mile Delivery, but I was left sorely disappointed. The concept of having an ice cream truck deliver your favorite treats to your doorstep sounded fantastic. However, the reality was far from magical. The ice cream arrived melted and the cones were soggy. The selection was also limited and I found the prices to be quite steep. Overall, I was extremely dissatisfied with the experience and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Michael - 1 star - Magic Mile Delivery was a complete letdown. The idea of having your favorite sweets and snacks delivered right to your door was intriguing, but the execution was terrible. The delivery took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, the order was wrong. The customer service was non-existent, as my complaints were ignored. Their pricing was also exorbitant for what you received. Save yourself the disappointment and look for a different delivery service.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Magic Mile Delivery, but sadly, it fell short of expectations. The delivery took way longer than the estimated time, and by the time it arrived, the food was cold and unappetizing. The packaging was also poorly done, resulting in a messy and unenjoyable meal. The options available were limited and didn't cater to different dietary preferences. I was disappointed with the overall experience and won't be ordering from them again.
