The title says it all. What ways have you found to bot with your herc? I haven't worked out a good way yet.....

    You didn't say what problem you have.

    However what I would do is to make a macro with basic skills like venomous, ironwood, and lucky scarab. On primary skill I would put that macro, and on auxiliary skill I would put heal and tell the bot to use every 30 60 seconds. And finally set hercules stance to aggressive so every time the master veno attacks, the pet will attack the same target.

    Defensive mode also works fine and you can set unique evolution skill as default for safety.

    Leach or dark taboo and auto-attack as attack skills, Master Li's, celestial eruption and heal pet as assist skills works for me. Auto or defend mode on herc, set default skill to Gold Armor Deity or mood skill Howl if you have it and want herc to hold aggro from you (and it can hold aggro from you). Note that herc buffs will expire if you bot for over an hour, and if you're arcane you'll probably need to autopot or use a spirit charm to maintain mana, though this could also be done with Consume Spirit if you haven't gotten Dark Taboo yet. Put Consume Spirit in Assist skill macro if you do this, so it doesn't trigger too often. (As HA/AA I only really die if I forget to make sure I'm wearing the heavy set before starting an auto-cultivation session, or if I'm botting on poisoners, or if I get stuck. Dark Taboo returns enough HP that I don't notice the incoming damage difference between HA and AA until I'm in mana deficit... this totally uncharmed, and without an autopot.)

    Personally i use herc on defence and the exclusive skill.
    As for my veno i got the atk combo on 3spark+auto atk+taboo
    the Assist is Pet heal and the sage chi skill.
    this way i use no mana/hp pots and the bot continue untill my wep durability is 0...in like 9hrs.

    Using dino instead of herc (also becuase i don't have one b:cute).
    Similar strategy to the above. I'm HA.
    Works fine for any melee mob, also ?, without using pots or charms.

    CTRL-F12 to bring up the auto-cultivation interface, put an attack macro in the top box, and assist macro or skill in the next one down. If you have an autopot stone you set up the percentage of health/mana to use them a bit further down. You also set the time to spend autocultivating (botting) which maxes at 9999 hours, but practically speaking is limited to about 9 or so hours by weapon durability. You also put the range you'll autocultivate in (I generally use 100 meters.)

    Hm... you won't have Leech yet at 30 so I don't recommend auto-cultivation in foxform at that level, even if you're going heavy armor, so this will be advice for human form. Make sure you put Metabolic Boost (and Nature's Grace when you learn it) along with Heal Pet in your Assist macro. Set that to trigger often enough that your walker is healed to max each time (observe for a while to see how often that needs to be.) For Attack macro, Repeat-Ironwood Scarab-Blazing Scarab-Venomous Scarab. Make sure you get and equip your free daily charms.

    Please give a more detailed explanation, I cannot understand some of you short handed way of what you do to keep the mana from running out without having to buy expensive devices.

He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!--Poem part by: Lewis Carroll

    I restore the mp using the triple spark which restores 20% of max mp.
    As for the hp dark taboo takes care of it.-lvl 11 leech wasnt bad either.

    An NPC in the racial cities and Archosaur, but they're only available to those under level 70.

    As AA can u farm in Fox Form too? 90+ bcuz fox forming eat less mana and u can recover mana from 3rd spark and in normal form as AA eat alot of mana and i have to tank mobs that means tons of crabsxherbs, and about pet, i got herc, there is better pet ? maybe a DD one wich tank&kill fast so i have to take just 2-3 hits from mobs?
