Artisan Auto-Attack
Artisan Auto-Attack (@artisanat) is Project Artisan's hands-free combat system. It fights nearby monsters for you, keeps your buffs up, and can restock your supplies - all from one command. Everyone can use it; no item is required.
Quick start
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
@artisanat |
Opens the Artisan window (see Game Interface): switch Auto-Combat, Auto-Rebuff and Auto-Restock on or off, and see your drop-rate tier and free time left. |
@artisanat menu |
Opens one menu for Auto-Combat, Auto-Rebuff, Auto-Restock and the target filter. |
@artisanat target |
Opens the target filter directly. |
@artisanat status |
Shows whether Auto-Combat is on, your current drop-rate tier, and how much free daily time you have left. Also mentions an active target filter. Doesn't toggle anything. |
@autorestock |
Opens the Auto-Restock window. |
Ctrl+Shift+M also opens and closes the Artisan window.
To make Auto-Combat use an active skill instead of a plain attack, put that skill on your first hotkey slot before you start it.
How Auto-Combat fights
- It attacks the nearest monster within 10 cells of you (or only the monsters you chose - see below).
- A ground-targeted skill on your first hotkey is placed on the spot that catches the most monsters; if no suitable monster is in range it falls back to a normal attack.
- If a monster can't actually be hurt (for example it can't be reached), it is ignored for a few seconds and the next one is picked.
- When there is nothing to attack, your character wanders a little, and after a few seconds of finding nothing it uses a Teleport skill or a Fly Wing from your inventory to find a new spot.
- If your HP drops to 30% or below it retreats instead of fighting on, the same way - Teleport or a Fly Wing.
It stops by itself if you die, if you change maps for any reason (respawn, Teleport, Fly Wing, a GM or NPC warp), if you enter PVP, GvG or a Battleground (including a map that turns PvP because an MVP appears on it - see MVP Hunting), or if you open an NPC, vending or trade window. The map-change stop is there so it doesn't wander off if you die and get warped away while you're away from the keyboard.
Drop rates and daily time
Auto-Combat always lowers your drop rate while it is running - it is never full-rate, whatever you have. Your own manual play is never affected.
| Tier | Daily limit | Drop rate |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Battle Pass | None | 75% - the best rate available |
| Artisan Pass | None | 50% |
| No pass - first 5 hours each day | 5 hours/day | 50% |
| No pass - after the free 5 hours | Keeps running | 25% until your daily window resets |
- The 5-hour allowance resets on a rolling 24-hour window that starts at your first use, not at a fixed time of day.
- Past the allowance it doesn't stop - it just drops at the lower rate, so you can keep farming while away from the keyboard.
- An Artisan Pass is a time-limited item sold by the Artisan Pass Vendor (Prontera, Turbo Track). Its timer starts counting down when you buy it, not when you first use
@artisanat, so use it right away. - In the Gold Room and the Hunting Grounds, while Auto-Combat is running, each kill's point reward is only awarded with a chance equal to your tier's percentage (for example 50%), the same idea as the lower item drop rate.
@artisanat statusshows your tier and the free time you have left.
Choosing what to fight
By default Auto-Combat attacks the nearest monster. The target filter lets you restrict that. Open it with @artisanat target, or pick Manage Target Filter in @artisanat menu.
You get two lists of up to 10 monsters each:
| List | Effect |
|---|---|
| Hunt only | When this list has anything on it, Auto-Combat attacks only those monsters and skips everything else. |
| Never attack | Auto-Combat never attacks these monsters. |
- Both lists empty means the normal behaviour: attack the nearest monster.
- A monster is on at most one list - moving it to the other list removes it from the first.
- Add monsters by ID (the menu shows the monster's name so you can confirm it), or browse a map: pick your current map or type any map name, and you get a list of the monsters on it with their names and IDs. Monsters already on a list are tagged in the browser.
- The browser lists the kinds of monsters found on that map, each with its ID.
- Your lists are saved per character and survive logging out and changing maps. Changes take effect immediately, even while Auto-Combat is running.
- If none of your chosen monsters are within 10 cells, Auto-Combat does what it normally does when it finds nothing: it wanders and then uses a Teleport or Fly Wing to look elsewhere.
- Monsters you skip can still attack you. The filter only changes what your auto-attack chooses to fight.
Handy for farming one specific monster, a card drop, or avoiding a monster you don't want to wake up.
Auto-Rebuff
Press EDIT on the Auto-Rebuff row of the Artisan window (or choose Manage Auto-Rebuff in @artisanat menu) to register up to 10 buffs that are re-applied automatically the moment they run out. In the window, drag a buff skill from your skill window or a buff item from your inventory into a slot.
- Skill slots - the menu only offers buffs you have actually learned, and recasts them whenever you have the SP and the skill is off cooldown:
| Class | Buffs |
|---|---|
| Acolyte / Priest | Blessing, Increase Agi, Angelus, Gloria, Impositio Manus, Kyrie Eleison, Suffragium, Magnificat |
| Archer / Hunter / Sniper | Improve Concentration, Falcon Eyes (True Sight), Wind Walker |
| Swordsman / Knight / Lord Knight | Endure, Twohand Quicken, Onehand Quicken, Aura Blade, Parrying, Concentration |
| Crusader / Paladin | Guard, Shield Reflect, Defending Aura, Spear Quicken |
| Merchant / Blacksmith / Whitesmith | Crazy Uproar, Adrenaline Rush, Advanced Adrenaline Rush, Weapon Perfection, Power-Thrust, Maximum Power-Thrust, Maximize Power, Shattering Strike, Cart Boost |
| Thief / Assassin / Rogue / Stalker | Enchant Deadly Poison, Poison React, Counter Instinct, Preserve |
| Mage / Wizard / Sage | Energy Coat, Mystical Amplification, Double Casting, Foresight |
| Monk / Champion | Fury |
| Gunslinger | Madness Canceller, Adjustment, Increasing Accuracy, Gatling Fever |
| Ninja | Soul (Nen), Cicada Skin Shedding |
| Taekwon / Star Gladiator | Mild Wind, Tumbling, Comfort of the Sun, Comfort of the Moon, Comfort of the Stars |
- Item slots - you don't need to be carrying the item to register it: Concentration Potion, Awakening Potion, Berserk Potion, LV10 Blessing Scroll, LV10 Agil Scroll, LV5 Assumptio Scroll, Wind Walker Scroll, Evasion Scroll, Concentration Scroll, the Fire / Water / Earth / Wind Converters, Cursed Water, and the stat foods (Steamed Tongue, Dragon Breath Cocktail, Immortal Stew, Steamed Desert Scorpions, Hwergelmir's Tonic, Cooked Nine Tail's Tails). Registering an item slot automatically keeps that item stocked by Auto-Restock too.
Things to know:
- While Auto-Combat is on, Auto-Rebuff works for everyone.
- With Auto-Combat off, Auto-Rebuff keeps running in the background only for Premium Battle Pass and Artisan Pass holders.
- A few buffs have extra conditions (a Crusader's shield, a Star Gladiator's Comfort only works on your feel map). If a buff can't be cast right now, that slot is skipped quietly until it can.
- If you change jobs and lose a registered skill, that slot is skipped until you clear it or learn the skill again.
Auto-Restock
Auto-Restock keeps your consumables topped up while you play. Open its window with @autorestock, or press EDIT on the Auto-Restock row of the Artisan window. Switch it on or off on the Artisan window.
You get 8 slots. For each one:
- Drag a usable item from your inventory into the slot (only usable items can be slotted).
- Set the target - how many you want to carry.
- Set the trigger % - how low you can run before it tops you back up. Example: target 300 at 10% tops you back up to 300 once you are down to 30.
Your slots start out pre-filled with Yggdrasil Berry, Fly Wing and Butterfly Wing - change or clear them as you like.
Where the items come from:
- Your own Kafra storage first (free - the storage window doesn't need to be open).
- If storage runs short, some staple items can be bought with Zeny at a set price: Yggdrasil Berry, Fly Wing, Butterfly Wing, the ASPD potions, the level 10 stat foods, and the buff scrolls and elemental converters. Yggdrasil Berries, buff scrolls and converters are expensive this way. Any other item is restocked from storage only.
- If you can't afford the rest, it tells you instead of buying a partial amount.
- It won't add items while you are overweight or out of inventory slots.
Items you register in an Auto-Rebuff item slot are kept stocked as well, on top of your 8 slots.
