AFKemists

[somethiiing]

I've gotten jealous of the AFKemists in our server. I've wanted to make one for quite a while. But I realized I didn't know how.
Could you guys give some training spots and maybe a build I could use for my afkemist?

It's a private server... Rates are 2/2/2, I think.

Thanks.

Having a some tips and advice wouldn't hurt either. :]

Stats don't matter to AFKchemists at all because the homun is doing all the killing.

The homun you get is random, so if you get something horrible like Lif you might want to get another one.

The homun stat progression is also random, so you could end up with a melee homun with s*** str, vit and agi. That's life.

Best AFK places are Orc Dungeon 2 and Pront labyrinth.

This is from my observations.

1. You need a decent AFK alchemist community. If you are the only AFK alchemist in the entire dungeon map, it doesn't work that well (in terms of experience per hour).

2. Your homunculus need to be a decent level. Strong enough to kill on its own without much assistance or any assistance at all (you are AFK after all). Most servers uses Gravity's client, and since last year, Gravity made some changes to it which prevents AI to use auto-player skills such as Auto-Aid Pot, Auto-Feed, Auto-Fire Bolt (using Fire Blend), Auto-Resurrect, etc..

3. Your homunculus need to have a high/decent Intimacy. Because you will be AFK and unable to feed the homunculus, it's intimacy will drop. You need to make sure when u come back to your computer, you Homunculus has not been starved to death/ or ran away.


The most popular AFK spot is Orc Dungeon lvl2. Most Homunculus AI comes readily with a pre-set Orc Dungeon lvl2 Tactics; instructing the Homunculus to act or kill monsters in a particular order. I don't think the built of the Alchemist really matters that much - most Alchemist who AFK are Pure Potters; who are unable to level using the more conventional ways and thus chose to rely on their Homunculus for leveling up. At the minimum, your Alchemist should be able to survive attacks from aggressive monsters; in the case of Orc Dungeon lvl2 - it's Drainliar, Orc Skeleton and Orc Archers.




You cannot be entirely dependent on your Homunculus for leveling up for Alchemist. This is because, any kills made by your Homunculus will only give you Base Exp. A homunculus will not give you any Job Exp (you are basically on your own for job exp)

The stats on your AFKemist matters.  Vit + Int.
You won't live (with no vit) if you ever get mobbed while being afk, and it works nicely if you have fireblend or another auto-casting weapon with int.

For afk I usually roll with 99 agi to avoid hits while my homunc kills
60 vit
60 int  those are subjective to your liking :O And I recommend a bird or a blob homunc with the rampage Ai (auto skills with the homunc. )

I hear pressing ALT+F4 every time you get your homunculus set up for AFKing also works well.

Of course, not really. AFKing to level/hunt is for pansies. Any sensible server would disallow it!
