Autos: start, stop and refill
- How do I start and stop Auto?
- Choose an activity and press Auto to repeat it. Normal Auto uses one remaining Auto per completed action. It continues while you are away until you press Stop, run out of Autos or the activity can no longer continue. Stop keeps unused Autos; an already-paid Craft finishes. Auto does not remove normal requirements or Crafting material and Gold costs.
- What do remaining and maximum Autos mean?
- Remaining Autos are the actions you can still use. Maximum Autos are your refillable capacity. For example, 20 / 100 means 20 actions remain and you can refill up to 100. Using Autos reduces the remaining balance, not your maximum capacity. A larger maximum lets Auto run longer between refills.
- How does free Auto Renew work?
- Press Renew in the Actions bar. It is free and can be pressed repeatedly. At Commoner rank, each click restores 5% of your maximum Autos, rounded up and limited to the missing amount. With a maximum of 100, that is up to 5 Autos per click. Higher Supporter Ranks refill a larger percentage; Renew shows the exact amount. Starting Auto with an empty balance performs one partial Renew, but running Auto does not refill itself continuously.
- How do I increase my maximum Autos?
- Earn permanent Auto capacity from Quests, Achievements, World Chests, Dungeon loot and Pet Expeditions. Pet Expedition Auto rewards increase both permanent capacity and the ready balance. Normal-monster victories and successful Gathering each have an extremely rare 1-in-20,000 chance to grant +1 permanent and +1 ready Auto while your base maximum is below 500, before Supporter Rank bonuses. This 500 threshold applies only to these random finds, not your overall Auto maximum. Shop Permanent Auto upgrades and selected bundles also add permanent capacity. Your current Supporter Rank adds a percentage of all that permanent capacity, rounded down to whole Autos: Commoner +0% through Emperor +100%. Emperor turns 1,000 permanent Autos into a 2,000 maximum; earlier Ranks do not stack. Changing Rank alone does not refill remaining Autos. Auto Renew is separate: it only refills your existing capacity and never raises that maximum.
Rage and Blood Frenzy have different Auto costs. Read Battle, PvP and Bosses in the FAQ for these advanced modes.
