Does NOT support party finder, for cross-world partys, manually invite each member.
BETA inclusion of Argus to handle targeted AOEs. This is a WIP and only works if you have the Argus addon installed.
Retainers and auto-change party lead
This shows the correct input for a party of eight. Each character needs to complete the list in the EXACT same order. If you have fewer than eight members, fill from top to bottom.
This shows an incorrectly filled list. Notice the gap at position 4, this means the bot will have 1 pass to 2, 2 pass to 3, and 3 pass to 1. Ensure there are no gaps in the list.
All party members need to have Auto Change Leader enabled so that lead can be passed.
The ideal set up for using retainers is as follows:
By default, this allows 5 maps per character.
Ensure you set Retainers Count to the number of retainers you have on that specific character.
Enable Retainers.
When you have set up your inventory, click Reset Retainers and you can start the addon. Each time you add new maps to your retainers, click this button so that the bot knows it has new maps. (This cannot be automated, it is used as a check).
The speed of navigating the retainer menu is slow to ensure you do not lock the menus. If you lock the menus (interact doesn't open the menu) you need to log out and back in. Please do not ask me to speed it up, I will not.
Chinese - Almost complete
Japanese - Limited

German - Limited
Korean - None
If you wish to help, please provide translations in my discord.
Handles combat, AOE avoidance is done using the default minion avoid aoe. Argus support for circle aoes has been added for those who have Argus installed.
Gambler's Luck minigame in The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah
It is not possible to determine the card numbers, so automatically this game cannot be played properly. Please play manually if you prefer. However using the below settings it will attempt to play.

Report Missing Map:
You can now use the following button that send a report direct to Disord without you needing to log in. This is a WIP and sometimes the button will not be available. If that is the case, use the manual report feature.
Ensure you are at the dig location and on the correct map before reporting, or your report will be ignored.
If you find a map that isn't coded, press the “Report Missing Map” button to see the following interface. Place the map image as shown, go to the correct location where you need to dig, screenshot the interface and add it to Discord so that it can be added.
Any mesh issues you find, please include this. But, also include a screenshot of the game map where the location is so that I can look to fix the mesh.
Currently, as we cannot use the map coordinates in the map and convert to Minion mesh positions, each map has been manually entered into a database with a valid Minion mesh position. Should, in the future, we be able to convert map in game positions to Minion mesh positions, I will update my code so that all maps will be possible.
Until that time though, currently supported maps remains as listed above.
The map db is open to anyone to be able to add future / lower level maps.
Currently supported dungeons:
Currently unsupported dungeons:
Does NOT buy maps from the auction house. Maps must be manually bought. I'd suggest buying one, deciphering it, then buying another. You can buy 1 of each type and keep them in the inventory and the bot will run though them.
Does NOT clear your inventory, you will need to handle this manually or through the use of another addon that can desynth.
Cannot detect the correct door. So it selects the door that is closest.
You use this SOLO or with a group of people all running MINION. Do not run this with random people, the AOE avoidance is not perfect. The flying is NOT perfect as the randomization is not part of minion and I have had to try make it so.
Monitor your accounts when running the addon. It will automate moving, killing, doing dungeons. But it does not have any other player detection. If a group is already doing a map, stop your leader, let them move on then begin again.
I take no responsibility to any bans. Botting in open areas is risky, AOE avoidance isn't always perfect and getting stuck is always a possibility. Please see this addon as a helping tool rather than complete automation.
All my testing is done using 4 characters, though up to 8 can be used. If you want each of your accounts to hold maps, you must pass leader manually.
Please use the 12 hour trial to ensure you are happy with the addon before purchasing. Use this time to check everything and raise any concerns you have. I am available on Discord all day every day while I am not asleep.
For dungeons, you will need more than 1 character. I'd suggest a minimum of a healer and a tank.
Suggested: flying in all zones.
Unlocked all zones relevant to the maps expansion.

Get as many maps as you can before starting the bot running. I use the following inventory of items:
The bot will do the first Key Item map you have, followed by each map lowest to highest level.
Whichever KI you have > Dragonskin > Gazelleskin > Zonureskin.
All map data will be available in a .db file that will be provided with the addon. This will allow users to add maps manually should they wish to add maps that are level 50 and below, or in future expansions.
I use DB Browser (SQLite) to read and edit the data. It is a free program. https://sqlitebrowser.org/ Please do your own research before downloading any programs, I am not suggesting using this product, just stating this is what I used as of February 2020.
List of Improvements:
