GLOBAL TAB

Life Support - Grind and Farm Mode:

In this part you can set Pots usage, Buff usage, Pet usage for Venos/Mystics, Attack method, and timed item usage.

5. Select/Check mark (don’t have to be all, just the ones you need):

• Use Pots if you want to use HP and Mana pots.

• Support Pet if you using a Veno/Mystic, and want the bot to use the pet.

• Use buffs to make your toon auto buff itself.

• Rest to make toon rest after the HP or MP has dropped to predetermined amount.

6. Click the Heal and Buff setting button. This window pops:

BUFFS. Here you select which buff you want the bot to use on your toon. The time is selected accordingly to the buff duration. Example: buff selected has a duration of 30 minutes, then you select 30, so the bot will auto-buff your toon every 30 minutes.

VITALS. Here you select the HP pots and Mana pots to be used. In the HP drop down menu select the pots that are in your bag that you want to be used. At the right select at what % of toon's HP you want the pot to be used. Then click the “Add to list button”. Repeat same procedure for the Mana pots setting. The SKILL drop down menu is where you select what heal skill do you want to use. Let’s say you are using a cleric, you can select any heal skill and select %, and when the cleric's HP drop to that %, the bot will make the cleric heal itself using that skill that you specified there. After you have finished setting everything as you want, click Save and back. You may add as many events as you wish.

Pet settings. If you are using a Veno/Mystic, then here you can set your pet options.

7. Click Pet Settings button to set the options that you want. You will get this windows:

8. Select/Check mark :

• Use Pet from the drop down menu, choose what pet you want the bot to use. It is highly recommended to checkmark “Make pet attack target first”, so he gets the agro, not you.

• Feed when hungry click for your bot to feed the hungry pet.

• Pet food from the drop down menu, select what food you want the bot to feed pet with.

• Heal at % and set a number as percent of your pet's health, so your bot heal pet when pet's health drops to that %.

• Heal pet to 100% at end of each fight to make bot heal pet after each kill. Be careful with this option, if you grinding mobs little hard for your pet, and the pet heal goes down fast, your Mana is going to drain pretty fast.

Note: Tome books of any level used in your toon’s render Pets and Mounts to never be hungry.

Skills - Grind and Farm Mode.

This section is where you set what skill you want to use to attack targets. 9. In the drop down menu, select the skill that you want and click the Add Skill to use button, the skill will be added to the list at the left. Repeat this to add all skills that you want to be used. If your toon is a melee attacker (example: sins, barbs), then check mark Normal attack after skills. That will make the toon use normal attack after using skills.

Note - At some point you may notice that bot is not using skills at same order that you added them to the list, that is because some skills have long cool down, and when bot tries to use them, they still in cool down, so the bot use the next available skill.

General settings - Grind and Farm Mode Check marking Unfreeze window will make the elemetclient.exe to not freeze when you click outside of the game window, but be aware that it will make the game window consume more RAM memory from your computer. Check marking Beep on death will make your computer beep when your toon is dead/killed. If you know what you are doing, you can go to your computer settings and change the beeping sound for another sound that you like. Check marking Beep if another player near will make your computer beep if another player comes to your grinding radius.

Events. Here you set timed events. If you click Event options button, you will then get this:

Here you can set which item in your bag you would like to be used every X minutes.


• Check mark Active, and from the drop down menu at the right select the item that you want to be used, then select every how many minutes do you want the item to be used. Example: if you using those pots that increase the HP regeneration to 50/second, and last for 10 minutes, then select 10. The bot then will use 1 pot every 10 minutes. You can select up to 2 items in this section.

• Check mark Active under After kill. In the left drop down menu select if it is a skill or item, then at the right drop down menu select what you want to use. When you done, click Save and close.

GRIND TAB

Targeting - Radius: This section you set the grinding area, the kill radius, mobs to kill, target list.


• Target in radius to kill mobs in the radius that you choose.

• Use list of Targets to kill the mobs you added to the kill list. Bot grinding area is not restricted by a radius.

Some notes about this. For beginners, it’s better to use Radius targeting. Target List method is for more advanced users. Also, be advised that the target list uses Ids to target, which can change at any time. So, if you get an error message that bot cannot find targets even though you added mobs to list, clear the list, and then re-add. This is not needed in radius mode.

• Target monsters in radius here you select the size of the radius that you want the bot to grind.

• Click the drop down menu, and select the mob that you want to kill, then click the Add to kill list Button. Continue doing that until you have all the mobs you want to kill in the kill list.

Looting and gathering: Here you set what do you want to be looted and gathered, and what not, amount other options.


• Loot Items and gold to pick drops after you kill a target.

• Walk to corpse for long distance grinder (any race that is not melee attacker), so the toon walks to the killed target to pick drops.

• Dont steal drops if there is more players grinding in the same area, so your toon don’t try to pick drops from targets killed by other players.

• Gather Materials to make your toon farm materials in the area that you are grinding. Farming is made in a low priority, since the bot is for grinding, not farming, so expect no much farming activity here.

Gather Distance is the distance from corpse of target that the bot will gather/pick drops.

The drop down menu contains everything that is in your toon's bag. If your toon is picking drop that you don’t want to be picked, click the drop down menu, select that item, then click the small button at the right with the + sign. The item will be added to the blacklist that is right under it.

NPC actions - disabled under water: This section is to set all NPC interactions.


• Sell Items to make the toon sell everything that you set to be sold.

• Buy Pots with this option your toon will buy the pots you set to be bought at Apothecary.

• Repair this will make the toon go repair every time your equipment drop to a pre-set value.

FARM TAB

Use Route tab How to set it: Select

Route:

I. In the drop down menu, select the route that you want to farm. The route information shows up bellow it.

Walk to start click it if you just want to go to the route starting point. That is good if you want to do something there manually before starting to farm. Make sure to be at high enough to don’t get stock with trees/obstacles.

Edit Route click it if you want to edit the route.

New Route click it if you want to make a new route.

Route Farming options:


• If dead, go: (then select "a" or "b" below).

a. ... continue Route from last point. This will make the toon to continue from last mat/herb it tried to pick before died.

b. ... restart Route from beginning. This will make the toon to start from beginning of route.

• Search for alternative material if ID not found. Sometimes the server change the mat/herb ID, so the bot will not pick the mat/herb, so its recommendable to select this option to make the bot look around for alternate ID and pick the mat, but be careful, if there is 2 of same mat/herb in the area, and the first one has been picked already, it will go for the second one, and if the second one is surrounded by mobs, your toon will run through the mobs to pick the mat/herb, leading to get aggro’d and attacked.

Start Farming click it to start farming the route you selected. Enjoy!

Edit Route tab

Edit - "name of route here" | Owner: True

Author: Here it will show the name of the route creator. Description: Here will show the description that was given by the author about the route.

RouteName: Here it shows the name of the route.

Options button will pop this window.

Here you can change some options to make the route commercial if you want to sell it to other users.

Editor mode: Normal add: in this area you will find 5 tabs that you use to create your route.

Walk/fly to: In this tab you select the way point where you want the toon to go. It can be to farm something there or to go around some obstacle in your farming way.

Gather: Here you use the drop down menu to select what mat/herb do you want to be farmed.

Fly: with this option you choose the high which you want your toon to fly from point "A" to point "B", if you want to go on flying mount. Its recommended that you make sure that you choose an altitude that there is nothing in your way, otherwise your toon will get stock against a tree or other obstacle. You can set if you want your toon to get on fly or dismount fly when it reaches a mat/herb to be farmed or if you are walking and want it to get on fly and go flying to next destination.

Mount: You can select what mount do you want to be used to go from point "A" to point "B", if you want to go on ground mount.

Wait: this is an option that you can use to make your toon wait at some point that you need it to wait. Let’s say that your route is 9 minutes 20 seconds long, then that means when you get back to first mat/herb, it won’t be respawn yet, since they respawn every 10 minutes, so you can set a "wait" time of 40 seconds. That way you complete the 10 minutes and the first mat/herb respawn.

• Walk/Fly to: when you are at the route starting point, click Walk here! button. That will add that coordinate to the route. Then click Gather tab.

• Gather: Click the drop down menu, select the mat/herb that you want to farm, click the Farm this! button. Then click the Fly tab.

• Fly: If you want to get fly off, then click Fly OFF button. If you want to get on fly click Fly ON button. The height is the altitude that you want your toon to fly from one point to another. After setting that up, then click Fly up button. Then click Mount tab.

• Mount: Click the drop down menu, select Mount, click the Get Mount button. After you reach a destination, if you want your toon to dismount, don’t select a Mount from drop down menu, just click the Stow button. If you need to set a wait time at some point of the route creation then click Wait button.

Wait: Select if you want your toon to Rest or Idle while waiting, choose how many seconds do you want it to wait, and then click the Wait here! button.

At this point the route should look something like this:

Ok, if you are done with the route creation, then click the Save Route button. You will be back to the normal Farm tab. Click Start Farming button when you are ready. Enjoy!
