# Auto-Combat Guide

How AeRO's @ac auto-combat works, and every command and setting.

AeRO has a built-in **Auto Combat** system: your character hunts, fights, loots, heals, and stays safe on its own. Open it from chat with **`@ac`** — no NPC to visit.

## ⌨️ Commands

| Command       | What it does                                                                                                                  |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`@ac`**     | Opens the Auto Combat menu to configure everything and **Start Combat**. Running it again while active **stops** Auto Combat. |
| **`@ac afk`** | After you've started Auto Combat, keeps your character fighting **after you log out**. **VIP only.**                          |

## ⏱️ Daily time

Auto Combat runs on a daily time budget that counts down only while it's active and **resets at server midnight** (tracked **per account**).

| Account | Daily Auto Combat time       |
| ------- | ---------------------------- |
| Free    | **4 hours**                  |
| VIP     | **12 hours** (4h + 8h bonus) |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Offline mode (`@ac afk`)** is VIP-only and lasts up to **4 hours**, or until your daily time runs out — whichever comes first. Your character logs out automatically when Auto Combat stops.
{% endhint %}

## ⚔️ EXP & drops while auto-combatting

| While in Auto Combat | Rate            |
| -------------------- | --------------- |
| EXP                  | **100%** (full) |
| Drop rate            | **50%** (half)  |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Auto Combat gives **full EXP but only half drop rate** — great for leveling, less so for farming rares. Hunt by hand when you want full drops.
{% endhint %}

## ⚙️ How it works — the `@ac` menu

Everything is configured from the menu and **saved per character**:

| Menu option           | What you set                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Start Combat**      | Begin Auto Combat with your current settings.                                                                                          |
| **Monster Target**    | Pick which monsters on the map to attack (or leave all). MVPs can't be selected.                                                       |
| **Attack Menu**       | **Normal Attack** (basic attacks when no skill is ready), **Retaliate** (hit back when attacked), and your **attack skills** + levels. |
| **Support Buffs**     | Auto-cast **buff skills** and use **buff items** to keep yourself boosted.                                                             |
| **Item Loot**         | Loot **everything**, nothing, or only your custom **Loot Group 1 / 2** (add items by ID).                                              |
| **Teleport & Safety** | Free teleport toggle, emergency-HP warp, no-monster teleport delay, and revive on death.                                               |
| **Regeneration**      | Heal skills, **HP/SP potions** (with % thresholds), and **sit to regen** HP/SP.                                                        |
| **Settings**          | View the live system config and reset everything to defaults.                                                                          |

## 🛡️ Safety & teleport

* **Free teleport** is enabled — no Teleport skill or Fly Wing needed; just toggle it on.
* **Emergency Teleport HP** (set 3–90%): drop below it and you're warped to your **save point** and Auto Combat ends.
* **Teleport when no monsters** are nearby after a delay you choose (up to 120s).
* **Revive on Death**: auto-revive with a **Token of Siegfried** if monsters are still around.
* Your character **sits to regenerate** HP/SP at the thresholds you set, and uses potions/heal skills you've enabled.

## 👑 MVPs

Auto Combat **completely ignores MVPs** — your character won't attack them, and MVPs (and their slaves) won't chase or attack you while you're auto-combatting. Hunt MVPs manually.

## 🚫 Where you can't use it

Auto Combat is blocked in:

* **Towns**, **WoE/GvG** maps, **Battlegrounds**, and real **PvP arenas** (pk\_mode fields are still fine)
* The **Monster Arena** and **Izlude Arena** lobby
* **Instance content** like the Cursed Baphomet quest (Sealed Catacomb)

It also won't start while you're **dead** or **90%+ overweight**, and it stops automatically if you enter a blocked map.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.aero-revolution.com/game-mechanics/auto-combat-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
