frenkey_BLK is a new Bot Mode for GW2Minion. It offers a extremly fast way to farm Black Lion Keys by completing Dragon's Stand over and over for the 20% Chance of a Key.

What does it do?

After you manually created a new character the bot mode will get you through the Intro Instance (only Asuran), move to Dragon's Stand and complete the map within ~2 minutes.

To unleash the full potential for this addon you really want to check out frenkey_Inventory to speed up the handling of the rewards and keeping the runtimes as fast as possible. Since this bot mode does not benefit from Banners and Ascended Feasts those are not included!

Average Speed

The average speed highly depends if you can skip the intro or not. The following numbers are no gurantee those are just the result of ~50 runs

• Tome of Knowledge: 1min 50s - 2min 30s
• Home Portal Stone: 1min 50s - 2min 30s
• No Skip: 2min 50s - 7min 30s (depends on your RNG at which state you enter the Intro, if the boss is about to die already or not spawned yet)

This requires Heart of Thorns and having the first Story Mission for Heart of Thorns completed!

For support, question and bugs please join my discord and follow the guidelines. I will not answer direct messages.

This addon farms Black Lion Keys which have an average rate to drop of about 20% for a map completion. Below I will make a short calculation on how much you need to run to break even. One Black Lion Key equals 84 Gems when purchased in bulks of 25. With gem prices of the day of release 09.03.2021 this equals to about 30 gold. Each map completion will net you a container of exotic gear as well which can be any exotic item including precursors. This averages to about 1 gold per item as some are worth more and others are less, not including precursors in that average.

If we run this for one hour we would get on average:

• Skip Run (2 min 10s)
  • 27 runs
  • 5.5 keys
  • 27 exotics
  • » 193 gold value per hour

• No Skip Run (4 min)
  • 15 runs
  • 3 keys
  • 15 exotics
  • » 105 gold gold value per hour

For those who have to do the Intro instance because they can not or don't want to skip the intro the following classes are recommended:

• Warrior (3 Targets / hit + stacking Bleeding)
• Thief (2 Targets / hit + stacking Poison)
• Elementalist (3 Targets / hit)

If selected the bot mode will move to rata sum upon completion of Dragon's Stand to allow you to quickly deposit your received loot.

If you completed a run and you are sitting in the character selection while having the bot turned on the name of the last Character which completed the run will be copied to your Clipboard to quickly delete the current and create a new Character with the same name.

There are limited ways to bypass the need to play the whole Intro for a new character.

If you have a Tome of Knowledge and the option selected the Bot will use a single tome to reach Level 2 which allows you to use waypoints already. It will then port instantly to Metrica Province and move to Dragon's Stand to complete the run.

If you have a Home Portal Stone and the option selected to skip the Intro the Bot will use the Home Portal Stone to enter your Home Instance. It will then start moving to Dragon's Stand to complete the run.

As soon as we find out more ways, more ways will be supported!

As soon as we get the functionality to cover this from within LUA it will get added.
