How To Stay Safe Whilst Botting!

 

 

Before reading this, please check out this thread made by StarService: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/11449-ban-rates/

It's a good insight on the Ban Rates of certain skills and locations. It'll come in handy when choosing which skill to bot and where, just like this guide (I HOPE!!)

Anti-Ban

What is an Anti-Ban?

It's when a script developer implements a feature that "apparently" helps towards keeping your account from getting banned whilst botting.

This feature is somethign a simple as a camera rotation every so often, or checking the amount of exp needed in the skill your botting.

 

To be honest, an anti-ban is a myth in my eyes. It will NOT prevent your account from getting flagged, when looking for botters I'm sure by now JaGeX have realised what an anti-ban actually is, and seeing people move there screen will definitely not help you from getting banned.

 

I'm not saying not to use an anti-ban if it is an option in the script, anything remotely human like will contribute towards keeping your account in good standings, just please do not rely on anti-ban on keeping your account from getting banned.

 

 

 

 

IP Changing

If you're botting on an account that isn't as important as your main, then change your IP by using a VPN.

 

Your probably thinking, why?

Well the answer is, If your account has been detected as a bot they'll flag your IP related to that account, if you then log into another account with that IP that account COULD possibly end up banned even if you're not botting on it, as well as the one your botting on.

 

To make sure this doesn't happen, I suggest when your on your main account (providing you don't bot on your main) use your own IP.

When botting on your less important account(s) change your IP using a FREE VPN.

 

I suggest, CyberGhost VPN.

It's a very professional and most importantly SAFE VPN to use, I've used it for over a year and it's never done me wrong.

 

 

 

 

Change Your Skills

When your botting a certain skill, let's say Woodcutting try not to just bot this skill everytime you log on.

Try to act like a human, no sane human will be able to bot one skill every single time they log on to Runescape. They'd become very bored with it and would end up doing another activity.

 

I suggest you go and bot another skill,l even if it's for an hour, just change your routine a bit.

Please note: You don't have to change the skill every single day, just occasionally to make you look a bit more human.

 

 

 

 

Change Your Location

Again, let's use Woodcutting as an example.

Let's say your 92 woodcutting and are going for 99, that means you need to earn over 6 million exp. This obviously requires you to be chopping trees for a very, very long time! But this doesn't mean you have to stick to the same location 24/7, does it?

 

There are numerous locations you can go to in order to train the skill if your botting, here are a few examples:

 

Woodcutting Willow Trees : Barb outpost, Draynor, Catherby.

Mining Iron Ore : Varrock, al-kharid

Smithing : Varrock, Al-kharid, Yanille

Combat Training : Bandits, Giant Spiders, Ape Guards

Thieving master farmer : Draynor, near chickens in lumbridge

 

There are many locations for skills to be trained in, try not to just stick with one single location.

 

Also...

If you're botting a skill that gathers supplies (Woodcutting - logs, thieving - seeds/money, mining - ore) make sure you sell the supplies regularly. Don't wait until you've achieved the level you want then sell the supplies, sell them every time you gain a level.

This will make your account look more human as your changing your activity.

 

 

 

 

Clan Chat

When botting make sure you join a clan chat, I suggest joining a Jagex Mods CC. I usually chill out in Mod Mark's clan chat.

However, you do not have to join a Mod's CC, feel free to join anyones, make sure it has quite a few people in there though!!

Every so often, just join in the conversation for about a minute, this is a smart thing to do when botting as there is ALWAYS a Player Moderator and/or a Jagex Moderator present in the CC, if they see you talking and joining in the conversations they'll not really expect you to be a bot.

 

I know it's a small thing and can be annoying as you have to keep pausing the bot to talk, but trust me it's worth it!

 

 

 

 

Regular Breaks

Taking breaks when botting is vital. No normal human can play Runescape for 24 hours a day.

I suggest you don't bot for more than 12 hours a day, nobody can really sit at a compute and play Runescape for anymore than 12 hours. I'd keep botting down to about 5-8 hours a day and have the occasional 12 hour botting spree.

 

OSbot has a built in break interval, if you do not know how to setup the break system then click here: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/7788-how-to-use-breaks/?hl=break

 

I suggest breaks last from anything from 20-90 minutes. This is enough time to do any human activity (Eat, shit, shave, bath, etc.)

Make the bot take breaks every 2-4 hours. This will mean you have atleast 4 breaks in an 8 hour botting spree.

 

 

 

 

Hot Spots

What Are Hot Spots?

Hot spots are spots that are known for botters being present in, very regularly Jagex moderators visit  these places to look for bots and ban them.

Examples of hot spots are:

 

Catherby Flax Field

Catherby Yews

Draynor Village Willow Trees

 

Try to avoid botting in hot spots and find alternatives (example: Go to edgeville yew trees rather than catherby).

If you HAVE to bot in hot spots as there are no alternatives for them, make sure you take a lot of breaks, babysit the bot and talk regularly to people passing by and people in the clan chat.

 

 

 

 

Play Legit

No matter how good a script is developed it will NEVER be like a real human playing. Whenever possible try and play legit even if its just for 10 minutes, if your account is flagged and they see human like movements they'll leave you a lone for a while.

 

When playing legit either continue with the skill your botting, sell some supplies or completely train a new skill.

 

 

 

 

Think Like A Human

The main thing to remember when botting is:

ALWAYS THINK LIKE A HUMAN. When your botting and making progress just ask yourself, the things your doing could a human do them?

 

• When botting if your leveling up too quickly just ask yourself, could a human actually do this?
• When botting for hours upon hours straight, ask your self... Could a human do this?

 

If the answer is NO, then just stop botting. Simple as that, just take a long break and give your PC a break!!!

Nice guide, I already do quite a lot of them myself Bot safely people!

Thanks man!

and yeaah, I should hope a lot of people do all of them meantioned in the guide, it's just there for the newbies or the people not so sure on how to bot safely!

 

Once again, glad you liked it.

Great guide, very imformative. Many people will find use of this!

 

Thankyou very much!

at then end, youll all gonna get banned .

 

thats just the way it works.

Not all the time. ^^ Bot smart, you'll be safe .

Good guide. But what from I've heard, using a vpn is worse than not using one. I've had maybe 3 bot busting bans in a month now using my ip, it works great.

Thanks mate .

 

I just reccomend using a VPN if you bot on an account you dont care about and you don't bot on your main, if jagex log your ip on both accounts there is a strong chance of being banned on them both

Really nice and well made guide. Great work, it will help a shit ton of people. Honesty it should get stickied.

Thanks Basic! Means a lot to get a response like that from you and everyone else!

 

Cheers Guys <3<3

A quick tip; Maybe you should put all the sections in a spoiler for those with really bad Internet speeds. And you should try and make guides within this guide. For an example, you make a guide on how to setup a VPS/VPN and what companies have the best prices etc.

You shouldn't tire yourself with all the guides now, just add it on as people as questions about that section.

Again, really like the guide! Thanks!

Thanks, I will when I'm home I'll edit it and add the spoilers for those who need them. Once again, thanks

Hey,

 

The only thing I dont agree with here is the joining of a mods cc, surely thats playing with fire? Other than that nice guide

thanks for the guide

Oh yeah, I agree. Once they find out there will be bots joining their clan chat, they will check their locations first. Obviously this "Anti-ban" is relatively new so they won't find out for awhile.
