For your convenience, several features of the game are automated.

General

There are several functions that can be automated: automatic Buffs, item-use automation, auto-lock-on and automatic item-pick-up.
Automation is only available for some skills and items. Such skills and items have special marks in their descriptions.
You can place the Auto-Hunt Window anywhere on your screen and change its size.

Skill Automation

Skills that can be automated are indicated with two green arrows in the upper left corner of their icons and have “Skill is used automatically” in their descriptions.
To activate automatic usage of a skill, transfer the skill to the quick-use bar of the HUD and right-click it.
Upon activation, the skill will be used automatically if the character doesn’t have that skill’s effect at the moment, or if the skill’s effect will last for less than 3 seconds.

Some items can be used automatically. Like skills, items that can be automated are indicated with two green arrows in the upper left corner of their icons and have “Auto-use available” in their descriptions.
To activate item-use automation, transfer the item to the special slot in the Automation Window and press “On”.
You can transfer items in several ways:
- By dragging it from your inventory.
- By choosing from a special window that appears when you press “Show inventory” and contains all items available for automation.
12 items can be automated at the same time for one character.
If a character is in the safe zone, item-use automation will not work until they leave it.

In the Automation Window you can choose to automatically lock on targets and either attack them (if a macros isn’t selected) or use a macros.
You can choose between melee and ranged attacks.
Next melee or ranged target is chosen based on the following:
- If a target is a mob, next target is chosen upon its death.
- If a target is a player character or an NPC, the target lock will stay on them.
With the active automatic target lock, you can activate automatic looting. Items will only be taken when the character is near them.
For activation you need to choose the actions and the automation button.
Automatic target lock turns off upon teleportation.
During automated hunting, activated attack mode allows the use of a normal attack while special skill recharges.

With Auto-targeting, the target of a skill changes depending on the type of the skill:
- If the target is an ally and the skill is a buff, it's used on the ally.
- If the target isn't an ally, the target of the buff is changed to the player character.

During automated hunting, you can activate “Polite Hunting Mode” aka “Manner Mode”.
During polite hunting, mobs that are being attacked by other players can’t be targeted.
- If characters are in the same group, they can attack the same target.
If several characters are attacking the same target, the first character’s target lock stays, and other character’s target lock turns off, and the automated action stops.
If during automated hunting a target doesn’t get attacked for a short time, the right to attack it moves to another character.
“Polite Hunting Mode” saves your preset when you exit the game and uses it automatically when you activate it next time.

Some health potions can be used automatically.
To activate potion auto-use, you need to select it in the special window.
You can choose health percentage at which a potion will be used.
Potions that can be used automatically are marked “Can be used automatically”.
You can activate or deactivate a potion slot by clicking on it with the right mouse button.
