AFK/Low Effort Overview

This channel is intended to be used in addition to the AFK and Low Effort guides. It will provide some assumed unlocks, and setup decisions that are omitted from specific guides to increase readability.

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU CANNOT GET A METHOD TO WORK DO NOT MESSAGE THE CREATOR(S)

It is more than likely user error or cutting corners, use #pvm-help, and check this channel if you cannot get it to work

Definitions

Within these guides there are two levels of AFK you will see mentioned:

AFK

⬥ These do not usually require any attention to the game

⬥ You may still need to interact infrequently, for example: clicking to prevent lobbying, drinking potions, using enhancedexcalibur or ancientshard, collecting loot, healing familiars with prismofrestoration

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Alt1 can usually be used to notify you of these

Low Effort

⬥ These usually do require you to pay attention to the game, and are instead used to heavily reduce inputs required to kill a boss

⬥ In addition to those listed above under AFK, example interactions include: queuing an ability before the fight, repositioning every kill, banking between kills, moving out of the way of mechanics, eating food at low health
