What is Auto Attack?
Auto Attack is XileRO's built-in AFK farming system. It lets your character automatically hunt monsters, use skills, pick up loot, and heal itself - all without you needing to click anything. This is a 100% legal feature on XileRO, so you can farm safely without worrying about getting banned.
Getting Started
Type one of these commands to open the Auto Attack menu:
@autoattack
@ac
Or use @help and select "AutoAttack" from the menu.
Time Limit (Activity Points)
Auto Attack uses Activity Points (AP) - a resource that limits how long you can farm:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily Grant | 300 AP (5 hours) |
| Maximum Cap | 900 AP (15 hours) |
| Consumption | 1 AP per minute |
Daily Reset
Every day when you log in, you receive 300 Activity Points:
- New Day Check: AP is granted on your first login of each day
- Accumulation: Unused AP carries over and stacks up to 900 maximum
- Example: If you don't play for 3 days, you'll have 900 AP (the cap)
How Accumulation Works
| Scenario | Current AP | Daily Grant | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal day | 0 | +300 | 300 AP |
| Didn't use yesterday | 200 | +300 | 500 AP |
| Maxed out | 900 | +300 | 900 AP (capped) |
| 3 days offline | 0 | +900 | 900 AP (capped) |
Tip: If you can't play every day, your AP will accumulate so you can have longer farming sessions when you return!
Characters at Once
Up to 3 characters on one computer can run Auto Attack at the same time. Starting it on a fourth shows "Auto Attack runs on at most 3 characters per computer" - stop it on one of your other characters first. Characters left farming with @afk count too. Players sharing an internet connection on different computers each have their own 3.
Setting It Up
When you open the menu, you'll see options to Start, Stop, or Configure your Auto Attack.
Healing & Recovery
Keep your character alive with these options:
Auto-Heal Skills
- Works with Heal, Coluceo Heal, and similar skills
- Set what HP % triggers healing (example: heal when below 50% HP)
Potions
- Choose which potions to use automatically
- Set HP and SP thresholds for when to drink them
Sit to Rest
- Your character will sit down to recover faster
- Choose to sit when HP or SP drops below 25%, 50%, or 75%
Combat Skills
Attack Skills
- Pick which offensive skills to use
- Set the skill level for each
Buff Skills
- Select your self-buffs (like Blessing, Increase AGI, etc.)
- They'll be recast automatically when they wear off
Buff Items
- Automatically use Concentration/Awakening/Berserk Potions
- Auto-use Battle Manuals for bonus EXP
- Auto-use Bubble Gum for bonus drops
Which Monsters to Fight
- See all monsters on your current map
- Turn specific monsters on or off
Looting
Choose how to pick up items:
| Mode | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Pick up everything | Grabs all drops |
| Pick up listed items only | Only items you specify (up to 20) |
| Pick up cards only | Ignores everything except cards |
| Don't pick up | Leaves all items on the ground |
Tip: Enable "Prioritize loot over fight" to grab items before attacking new monsters.
Equipment drops never roll Random Options while Auto Attack is active. Same item, same drop table — but Autoattack kills always come out plain. If a kill would have rolled options, you'll see a yellow banner telling you what you missed, so you know when it's worth switching to manual farming.
Emergency Teleport
Escape dangerous situations automatically:
- Use Fly Wings or Teleport skill to escape
- Emergency HP % - Teleport when your HP gets too low
- No monster timeout - Teleport to a new spot if you can't find monsters
- Too many monsters - Teleport away if you're getting mobbed
Other Useful Options
| Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Token of Siegfried | Auto-resurrect when you die (uses Token items) |
| Return to save point | Warp home when you die |
| Auto accept party | Automatically join party invitations |
| Melee attack | Turn off to fight with your attack skills only — you never walk up and hit monsters with your weapon |
| Melee only when low SP | Save SP by using normal attacks when running low |
| Attack aggressive monsters | Turn off to stop fighting back against monsters that attack you and aren't on your monster list |
When Auto Attack Stops
Choose what happens when it ends:
- Do nothing - Stay where you are
- Teleport to save point - Go back to your save location
- Logout - Disconnect from the game
What You Earn While Auto Attacking
Auto Attack trades some reward for convenience. Every kill it makes counts like this:
| Auto Attack | Fighting yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Base and Job EXP | 50% | 100% |
| Item drops | Half of each drop chance | Full chance |
| Random Options on equipment | Never (you see what you missed) | Normal rolls |
| Zeny from monsters | None | Yes |
| Zeny bonus gear (e.g. extra zeny per kill) | No effect | Yes |
| Macro checks | Never triggered | Every 25 kills, then every 250 |
Tip: Auto Attack is great for steady, hands-off progress. When you want the best loot or zeny from a specific monster — or you're hunting a rare drop — fight it yourself.
Farming While Offline (@afk)
Type @afk while Auto Attack is running and your character keeps farming after you log out. It stays on the map, keeps fighting, looting and following your settings, and still spends 1 AP per minute.
It stops when any of the usual stop conditions hits (see below) — most often when your AP runs out or you die.
Your character can still be attacked while you're offline. Field maps are not PvP, so another player cannot attack your offline farmer there. In the PvP arena, battleground arenas and castles during War of Emperium a player can kill it, and Auto Attack then stops, unless you carry Token of Siegfried with auto-resurrect enabled. Farm offline on field maps, and keep Tokens in your inventory.
@afk needs you to be alive. Unlike @trueafk (towns only, and you can't be hurt), @afk works on any map and gives no protection.
Typing @afk opens a short confirmation showing your remaining Activity Points and what's about to happen, so you can back out before going offline. @afk always survives a server restart, whether or not Auto Attack was running — if it comes back up while you're away, you're restored automatically: farming resumes right where it left off if Auto Attack was active, or you're just parked offline again if it wasn't. Either way there's no need to relog. You come back exactly as you left: sitting if you were sitting, facing the way you were facing, and if you were hosting a player chat room it reopens too (empty — everyone else who was in it has to rejoin).
If you were mid-trade when you typed @afk, the trade is cancelled instead of leaving the other player staring at a window that can never close.
When Does It Turn Off?
Auto Attack stops automatically if:
- You open your storage
- You're too heavy (90%+ weight)
- Your inventory is almost full
- You change maps
- You die (unless using Token of Siegfried)
- You run out of time
Auto Attack doesn't work in a War of Emperium castle, in the PvP arena (@pvp) or on the Boss Hour map:
@autoattack / @ac won't open its menu there. If you walk onto one of those maps while Auto Attack is running, it
stops and tells you why.
