Good for you. You're only hindering yourself by not using it and do you honestly thing pwi will go "OMG this player isn't using it QQ what do we do?" no they wont. You're only putting yourself at a disadvantage by not using it.

I put the bot thingy on whenever i sleep. Botting for 10 hours and getting 10mil. This doesn't cover the coins being picked up or xp gained. Not bad. Thanks pwi b:victory

I must admit, this is the most creative way to deal with the BMBotting problem - just open it for use to everyone. Should relieve the load on the support staff...
I've been giving this new autoculti a whirl... some thoughts and tips:

- If you intend to farm materials or DQ items, fill up your inventory with stacks of one of those, so that the bot skips filling up your inventory with useless items.
- While you can't set your "Basic attack" as the main skill to be used, there's no reason you can't make a "Combo" consisting of just "Basic Attack" and let that run. It works.
- If you want to farm snowmen (for Celes and chistones mainly), use a ranged weapon, regardless of the character you use it with. Bamboo bows only need 5 dex, so everyone can use those.
- Adding regenerative skills like Clear Thoughts or Diamond Soul into your main attack will cause them to fire as often as possible.
- Nonmagic characters using skills will benefit from weapons that have a mana replenish on-hit (such as Annihilator of Souls).

Expected effect on the economy (once the Christmas hubhub is done and everyone's done rebirthing their mains):
- Coin becomes pointless. Kinda like Diablo 3.
- Farmable materials will become dirt-cheap.
- Boutique gold will cost so much that only buying Zen is a feasable option to get it. Probably the main reason.
- BMBot users will bawl because their advantage is now gone...
- Life and mana charms will be less costly, as people farm DQ items for eventgold, then buy event boutique charms as needed.

So I did my test with the new bot and dropped in between 2 other (pre pwi-bot) bots in heaven to see how much coin I could gather while I was at work.

Which mobs were you grinding on if you don't mind me asking?

I find that air mobs helps the auto cultivation stay around longer during the duration. I've just set mine to 200 meters, and AFK on the air mobs in heaven or the ground mobs in the Vellry of the Scarred.


On a side note though, I can make tons more coin playing actively for 1 hour, rather than using auto cultivation, and I can especialyl gain more exp, as the bot doesn't round up groups to AOE as efficient as a human.

Additional findings:
Using 2 instant skills after eachother causes the autoculty to freeze up. It also causes the combo in general to freeze up, so it's probably a client issue. This can be fixed by setting the combo up like:
"Melee attack - Alter Marrow - Melee attack - Diamond Soul - Melee attack - Blow spark - Melee attack"

Detonating sparks, despite the relatively long animation, seems to count as an instant.

A very annoying feature is that the bot will get stuck shooting at a resetting (stuck in landscape) mob forever

wasted a LOT of my ammo doing that

With regard to instant skills, it's been well known that instant skills end a macro. Thus the bot will also end if you put in an instant skill

So, I tried out this bot. It's nice to use when I'd otherwise be AFK or watching youtube, however being on a PvP server means I constantly get harassed by a certain sin looking to steal my DQ mats using Spoils of War. Luckily, I have dolls ;3 I'm sure being bluename on a PvE server will be much more advantageous.

HT has arcane classes auto cultivating avalanche crushers and other melee only ares...dont do this youre either an *** or an idiot

Which brings us to finding 3:
Narrower area which is in -open- space with no obstacles helps lots. Law of chance says that if you play a long time, a small chance of getting stuck will become an almost certainty.

That is why my sin is using a macro with 'Shadow Teleport' and 'Normal Attack'.
I tried it with 'Shadow Jump' but that will make it stop working.
So now if my sin gets stuck between a pile of rocks or whatever... he will free himself as soon as there spawns a mob nearby and I don't have cooldown on my 'Shadow Teleport'.

Is there a way to use mp and hp healing pots? I know clerics and mystics have healing skills so that would work. f:confused

For a Mystic it' probably be simpler to just put Clear Thoughts, triplespark and one of the healing skills (I'd recommend Falling Petals) in your main attack combo. That'll regenerate both health and mana at a rapid rate. Use low mana skills that generate a lot of chi, to selfreplenish.

I don't know what YOU did specifically, but I also teleported out with one of my trials. What happened was an alt was on vortex, and the second botter was to be set with 'pick up all' but as soon as I started the second bott it teleported - turned out the weapon it was using was broken - ie 0/400 durability and this caused it to teleport.
