Auto Battle (@ac)

Auto Battle is a server feature: type @ac on a hunting map and the server attacks with your own skills and moves your character to the monsters. It climbs ropes and ladders and drinks your potions. It's allowed and it's the only automation that is. Third-party bots are still bannable (see Rules).

Quick start#

1. Go to a regular hunting map with monsters around your level.
2. Put HP and MP potions in your Use tab.
3. Type @ac or press F12. The chat confirms which skill it uses and how much time you have left.
4. Type @ac off or press F12 again to stop. @ac time shows your remaining time.

Every @ac command#

A mistyped @ac word never stops a running session: it only prints the list.

Daily time#

Time counts only while Auto Battle runs (paused time doesn't count) and resets at midnight UTC. You get a warning 30 and 5 minutes before it runs out. Premium does not add to your VIP time: you get whichever is longer. For example, VIP 5 alone is 7 hours a day, and VIP 5 with Premium is 12 hours. See VIP, NX & donations for VIP.

Rewards#

While Auto Battle is on, kills give 75% of the normal EXP and drops and 40% of the normal mesos. With Premium they give 90% of the EXP and drops and 60% of the mesos. Burning-map bonuses still apply, so a quiet map is still the best place to leave your character.

Free vs Premium#

Auto Battle Premium is an upgrade to @ac. It only does something while Auto Battle is running.

Price: 25 donation points for 7 days, or 100 points for 30 days. Buying again adds more days. The pass covers every character on your account. VIPs pay less: 2% off per VIP level up to VIP 5, then 4% per level, so VIP 5 is 10% off, VIP 10 is 30% off and VIP 15 is 50% off.

How to buy: type @ac premium (or open @ac settings) and pick Auto Battle Premium, then the week or the month. The points come from your donation balance (see VIP, NX & donations). The same page shows when your pass ends.

The settings menu: @ac settings#

Your choices are saved per character and apply immediately. The main page has Start/Stop and Resume at the top, then:

• Presets. Three slots. Save your whole setup (skills, minimum monsters, buffs, potions, movement and sweep, target, reactions) and switch with one click, for example a mobbing setup and a single-target one. Spots and avoided monsters are not part of a preset.
• Attack skills. Skills that are ON are listed first, in the order they're used. The rest are grouped by job advancement, with each skill's damage, lines and how many monsters it hits; the one Auto Battle would pick on its own is marked. Click an ON skill to move it up or set the minimum monsters it needs before it's cast. You can also pick the order for skills without a cooldown (take turns, priority, most hits) and how long to wait for monsters. Skills with a cooldown go out as soon as they're ready, longest cooldown first. Shadow Partner and Mirror Image add their hits too.
• Buffs (Premium). Up to 8 buffs you mark ON are recast whenever they run out, using your MP. Without Premium only Soul Arrow is kept up.
• Potions. Choose the HP and MP potion and the thresholds. By default it drinks HP below 50% and MP below 30%, using the potion you carry most of.
• Monsters. Mark monster types to avoid, for example ones that hit too hard.
• Movement. Roam the whole map (default), stay on the starting platform, stay in place, or sweep the map (Premium). The sweep has its own options: casts per stop, step length, which platform next. You can also let it use in-map portals.
• Spots routine (Premium). Stand somewhere and pick Add where I stand. Each spot can attack left, right, both sides, or attack once each way and then take a portal. Set how many casts per spot, when to move on (nothing in reach for a moment, too few monsters, or a fixed time) and the order.
• Behaviour. Target priority, reaction speed, how soon it takes over after you move, liberate runes on/off, what to do near other players (ignore them, prefer other monsters, never attack next to them) and whether to finish off hurt monsters first.
• Safety stops. Stop when no EXP comes in for a while (10 minutes by default, off at max level), and what to do when an inventory tab is full (ignore, tell me, stop).
• Reset everything to default.

How it moves#

• It walks along platforms to reach monsters and drops down to monsters below.
• It climbs ropes and ladders and jumps to platforms within jump height.
• If your class has an up-jump, grapple, double jump or teleport, it can also reach higher platforms that no rope leads to. That includes the newer classes' own jumps (Khali, Ren, Lynn, Mo Xuan) and Sia Astelle's teleport.
• While it walks, the game locks your keyboard. Every 4 seconds of walking it gives you about 3 seconds of free keys and chat, so you can type @ac off or press a key. F12 works at any time.
• Pressing a movement key pauses it. Stand still for a few seconds and it resumes by itself (change the wait with @ac delay). Talking to an NPC, trading and the Cash Shop pause it too.
• Spots (Premium) run in the order you saved them. A left or right spot only attacks that side. A portal spot attacks once to each side, then takes the portal. It moves between spots by flash jumping, a skill's length at a time when monsters are in the way, and attacks at each stop.

Runes and elite monsters#

• When a rune appears that you can use, Auto Battle goes to it and liberates it for you: you get the rune's buff, and the map's curse on EXP and drops lifts. It follows the same rules as you: one rune every 15 minutes, and not one that is too strong for you. If it can't reach a rune within a minute, it goes back to hunting and tries again later.
• While Auto Battle is on, you are immune to being turned to stone by elite monsters, which you would otherwise have to break by tapping left and right.

When it stops#
