I'm looking to set up a gold farming routine with about 3 accounts rocking at any moment doing different activities in game and they would be on 5-7hour rotations with breaks. After the 5-7 hours is up a new set of 3 bots come in on a different VPN, and so the cycle ensues. 3 total cycles per day.
I just started my first shift last night. I made 4 accounts: 1 mule, 3 bots. did all 4 tutorial islands legit and ran the mule up to Lumby bank and logged off. All 3 bots went to chickens to gain a few CB levels. Ran the bot for about 30 mins to get 10 attack and some strength on each account. After that I logged out of them for a bit, then sent 2 of them woodcutting and one of them mining. Ran all 3 of those bots for about 2 hours and was in awe.
I didn't know what to think coming to the PC this morning to check my accounts but instantly all three bots are banned and my mule is still alive, so is my main that I'm playing on another machine with a whole different VPN service.
Here's why I made this thread: I want some advice from vets on this forum to help noobs like myself speed up the curve in learning to bot effectively.
Of course accounts are going to get banned for botting. However in my methods I don't plan to be a suicide botter at the end of the day. I feel this completely removes higher tier gold making methods like wyverns, even green/blue dragons, nature rune running, pretty much anything at all that's P2P tbh. I'm planning to have all these bots set up as shitty-ish mains with random stats so I can constantly cycle my gold making methods on the accounts. For example, one account will be cutting magic logs. One account will be hitting the motherload mine. Another account will be slaving blue dragons in taverly. And next rotation, they do other things like now one is running nats. One is fishing in catherby. One is smithing cannonballs.
The point is to have constant gold coming in and a low-ish ban rate so I can justify getting members on these accounts.
So heres some notes I have about this first wave of bans I incurred:
1. The accounts were all created at the same moment basically (within a few minutes) and tutorial island was done the same way.
2. None of the accounts were aged in any way, just straight to the chickens then to the mining/wcing after a 15 min break.
3. I am playing under Cyberghost VPN on my alt-machine but I was not using any type of mac spoof to differentiate the accounts further and I also didn't set up the "proxies" in the osbot client, I just let my cyberghost try to do the work for me. Going to specifically look more into this for my next round.
4. I was using shitty free scripts. (no offense scripters, thanks for posting anyway.) I used Juggles AIO fighter, ZealMiner AIO, and MacroCutter. The macrocutter was getting me killed like 4x behind lumby castle due to that mugger being there and same with the Zealminer at Varrock East with the level 6 rat. Neither of these scripts had anti-combat mechanisms, my script just kept trying to mine/wc as I was getting hit until death. EASY bans there.
So next time around I plan on doing things a bit differently...I won't be able to set another round up until later tonight after work. But I'm going to look into the individual proxy settings in the actual OSBot client to see what that's about, going to look into mirror mode, mac spoofs, I'm probably going to pick up a decent combat script to see if I can run that on and off for a few days without getting the AXE.
As stated above the point of this thread is to potentially shorten the learning curve of getting a runescape bot network going for passive income for myself and anyone else reading. I appreciate your time in reading this and look forward to the knowledge you vets can pass on, so thank you.
