.As most hunting is performed as using an archer, this guide will show you how to set up an archer to automatically hunt for items. The best hunting experience can be achieved within Adventure Zone, as all drops (minus potions and such) will be worthwhile. Using COAP, you can easily anticipate a bountiful hunting session... while you're not there.
First and foremost, always log into Conquer Online before opening COAP or any other software you have downloaded.
Conquer Online Auto-Pilot requires that the Show Names option within Conquer Online be set to ON for use. To turn this on, select the Options button within Conquer Online and check the box next to "Show Name".
Open Conquer Online Auto-Pilot and create a new profile by right-clicking on the Profiles branch of the left-most tree and selecting the option "Add New".
Enter a name for the profile to identify the profile within the Profiles branch of the tree, select the character type "Archer", and press the "Next" button to begin configuring other options. Make sure that if your character is within a guild, you select the option to denote that.
For this example, we plan on hunting AlienApes. Move to the "Attack" tab to modify your attack configuration. As you selected "Archer" as your character type, the Right Click Attack option has already been selected for you.
Within the "Attack Action (F Key)" option, enter the F Key you current have associated with the Scatter Skill.
The "Attack All Mobs" will be checked by default, but since this is a popular area - 'attacking all' will have you chasing people's guards, switch to "Only Attack the Following Mobs" and select the color Green (if AlienApes are not green to you, move elsewhere to hunt).
Enter at least 'Ali' into the Name(s) of Mobs entry to ensure yet again that you are not attacking people's guards. A list of one or more mob names is required when attacking by color.
On the Miscellaneous tab, make sure that your arrows are set to the correct F Key Assignment.
Since these mobs should only be hitting you for 1, and you would want to conserve space in your inventory, we have unchecked the option "Manage Health Potions" as we do not have any on the character.
At this point, we now need to determine the path your archer will be taking by specifying a series of coordinates to follow. You want to make sure that your character is encompassing a full spawn area, especially since Scatter has the tendency to kill mobs off-screen.
Within the Paths branch on the left tree, right-click and select the option "Add New".
As before with your profile, enter the Path Name to identify the path from the listings within COAP and a description if desired.
Since your character is already logged in, go to your favorite AlienApe spawn and begin entering the coordinates, as found on the top-left of your Conquer Online window, that you would like your character to cycle between. For this example, make sure to "over buffer", meaning move your character and record the coordinates of a point a bit past, maybe a full screen past, the actual position you would like to be before moving on to the next point.
Keep in mind that your character will cycle the points - once you have reached the last point, you will go back to the first point and start over. The coordinates specified within the above screen shot create a zig-zag pattern through a spawn area.
At this time we suggest you spend a while hunting manually, noting the items that are being dropped. These apes drop a wealth of health and mana potions, all of which we need to be ignored. To begin the configuration for ignoring these items, create a new item list by selecting the Item Lists branch, right-click, and select "Add New".
As before, enter the List Name to identify this list from the other item listings. Begin entering the items that you DO NOT wish to pick up within the Items text area.
As with all entries of names, you only need specify the first-part partial, such as entering 'Pa' will include both PainKillers and Panacea. The shorter the length of text you enter, the faster and smoother the process will run.
With your coordinates and item list in place, it's now time to complete your profile's configuration. Select your newly created profile from the tree on the left and move to the Movement tab.
Most options selected should be used by default; however, select the option "Use Predefined Path" rather than moving in random patterns. Once selected, select your newly created path from the available drop-down list.
To implement the Item List you previously created, move to the Drops tab. Leaving All Drops, as you have seen by manual hunting, will quickly fill your inventory with useless potions. Select the option "Except" and select your newly created item list from the drop-down list. This will ensure that the items on that list will be ignored.
Remember, if you missed a type of potion or item that you do not want to pick up, you can simply pause COAP, add that item to the listing, and start once again.
Your configuration is now complete and it's now time to save. Simply press the Save button located on the top-right corner of COAP. With your configurations saved, you will never need to enter this information again.
To start the process, COAP must be able to find the Conquer Online window. Click on the binoculars on the top-left corner of COAP. If you only have one instance running, it will automatically find it. If you have multiple clients open, you will be prompted to select the desired client window and stay on that window for 5 seconds while COAP locates it.
With your newly created profile selected from the branch and the Conquer Online window found, you may press the Start button, or use the PAUSE key on your keyboard if you are within Conquer Online to start and stop the process.
Additional options may greatly help your efforts. Moving back to the General tab of the profile, you may want to gain some VP while out hunting. To do so, create a team and select the options "Handle Team Invitations" and "Accept All Invitations". You will then accept all noob requests to join your team. Whilst here you may also fine-tune the Response Delay to make your character appear more and more natural.
Also, within the Offsets tab within the profile, you'll find an option to Clear Screen. Selecting this option and specifying which hotkey you've assigned for the Clear Screen Action (set within Conquer Online from Options->Hotkey->L. Button) will force a clear screen before reading the screen, removing all forms of text and increasing COAP's item and mob search breadth.
Best of luck, and Happy Hunting!
