Eidolon, the Hunting Companion

[Arkhon Online]

Dev Diary #15: Eidolon, the Hunting Companion

Once set up, Eidolon hunts for your character: skill lists, potion use, returning to town and safety limits.

Eidolon is the official hunting companion that hunts for your character where you leave it. It needs no outside program and follows the game's own rules.

Starting it

• Go to the spot where you want to hunt and start it from the Eidolon bar.
  
• With default settings it looks for monsters within 18 metres and never strays more than 10 metres from where it started.
  
• You can tell it to attack only the monster type you chose.
  

Skill and support lists

• The attack list holds up to 8 skills.
  
• There are 12 slots for buffs.
  
• Drag and drop skills into the window. Normal attacks can be switched on or off.
  

Potions and healing

• By default it drinks a health potion below 60% health and a mana potion below 30% mana.
  
• Healing skills in the list are used below 60% health.
  

Safety

• It returns to town when fewer than 10 potions are left or the party breaks up.
  
• It stops when its time runs out or the character dies, and tells you why.
  
• While it runs, a glowing yellow EIDOLON tag shows above your name, so everyone knows you are auto-hunting.
  

Time

An Eidolon Essence adds 24 hours and is sold in the Arkhon Store.

Note: the game is in development; values may change during beta testing.
