To my disappointment, i noticed that there were less and less AFKers in AV these last few weeks. I can already hear you complain about the warnings and temp bans that you already have received due to AFKing. It is like Russian roulette, you have no idea when you're about to get the banstick. There's 1 thing i know, you just have to be smart about AFKing and your chances of getting caught will be slim. In this post today, i will show you AFK Safely.
Things you need:
1 - Cellular OR WIM ( whisper addon that opens a msn like window when you get a whisper / whisper someone - also has a message history )
2 - Pirox Afk Bot ( pretty self explanatory )
3 - World of Warcraft
4 - Frostwolf Insignia or Stormpike Insignia ( attainable by doing the AV quest )
5 - A brain
Where to get them?
Cellular - Cellular - WowAce Wiki
OR
WIM - WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) | World of Warcraft Addons | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com
Pirox Afk Bot (Make sure you check for updates) - PiroX AFK BG Bot ( Make sure you +Rep Pirox for this awesome program )
Frostwolf Insignia
Quest: Proving Grounds - Quests - World of Warcraft
Quest giver: Warmaster Laggrond - NPCs - World of Warcraft
Stormpike Insignia
Quest: Proving Grounds - Quests - World of Warcraft
Quest giver : Lieutenant Haggerdin - NPCs - World of Warcraft
A brain - If you cant figure that out, stop reading now.
Setting up Pirox
1 - I would recommend calling the folder you are extracting something that's not obvious, ( Afk bot - hax - LOLBOT Just wont cut it ), I called mine Norton for example.
2 - Rename Pirox to anything you want and then launch it.
3 - It will prompt you for a command you would like to use for the bot. Pick anything that's not obvious and that you will remember. I wrote bleh in the box, which means my command will be /bleh. Once you are done with that, an addon with random letters will be created in your WoW folder.
- ( just on a side note, all the addon does is put a square in the middle of your screen that changes color depending on what happens in game - Pirox.exe ( whatever you renamed it to ) reads those colors and sends keystrokes depending on the color ( when its green it presses print screen because there is a whisper, when its yellow, it means you're dead and will release/res )
4.1 - Main : Leave it as it is
4.2 - Opt #1: I personally choose not to do anything on disconnect, I'm sure it would never happen, but i don't want it to randomly spam enter with my account info ( better safe than sorry )
4.3 - Keys: Here's a screenie of how I've got it set up and how my bar looks in game, that tab really depends on how you set up your in-game bar ( notice that my strafe are , and . because i use Q and E for key bindings )
(This is how your WoW should look http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/320...settinguc8.jpg )
4.4 - Security: I personally don't do anything on player whispers, as some people really spam the crap out of me sometimes.
4.5 - MSGs: I would suggest just putting a smiley on the player whisper and Make up an excuse that you have to log when a GM whispers you ( which will not happen )
Getting Welfare Epics
Before you start your bot for the night, i would like to recommend sitting afk where you can rack up lots of HK's so it doesn't look suspicious. ( I have heard that the warning people get is because their have abnormal amounts of honnor for the HK's they had )
Load up WoW and make sure the only addons loaded are the Random letter addon and the Cellular / WIM addon. Otherwise it will not get out of the cave properly.
Go into the Video options and make sure WINDOWED MODE and MAXIMIZED is checked. pirox will NOT get you out of the cave if those 2 options are not checked.
Go to any low populated town like Silvermoon / UC / thunder bluff for horde - Exodar, etc for alliance
Go to the AV battlemaster, and face NORTH ( that's really important as when you will come out of a BG, your character will be facing north ) Make sure the battlemaster is in front of you.
Open Pirox if it's not already opened ( now i'm assuming you've already set your in game Bars and put the trinket / attacks / buffs on it )
Select the city you are in, your faction, and the BG you are about to do.
Press Mode 1 and watch if it gets you out of the cave, if it does, you have nothing to worry about. Many people don't look to see if the bot is working properly, that usually ends up with someone running into a wall in the AV cave.
You will notice that every time you get a whisper, it will take a screenshots. The reason why i like having cellular ( its optional ) is because when i get up in the morning i can check who whispered me and what they said without having to rely on the screenshots taken by pirox ( those are in the pirox folder by the way )
ENJOY YOUR FREE GEMS/POTS/GEAR/TRINKETS!
