So far I've only used it on sand crabs on the shore near hosidius on the trial, but I will definitely be using it further. No issues whatsoever. Can confirm, incredibly based.

So far so good, haven't been using it for that long yet ( couple hours) Noticed the bot seems to freeze outside camelot bank? When training at relleka West it ignores the goblins walking around event when the goblins are attacking, only when no crabs are attacking it will kill the goblin. Not a big issue, but i'm 1 def so it makes the bot bank sooner. Maybe I need to tweak the settings for it to make banking work?
apart from this all the bot works like a charm! Very good
