Kolbot let's you packet click the Worldstone entry from the Arreat Summit so you can get in with a level 1 character! Then you just need to walk said character all the way to throne and eventually chamber. Apparently this has been out for a long time but I never knew how to do it, the bumperless GRush. I run 7 though without much issue.Īhh the last thing. What does this mean? It means you can run more like a 1.5:1 ratio for characters:keys. So no game loader is bound to only 2 keys, it is bound to your whole list. With Kol you just put your keys in a 'pool' and Kolbot picks a CD key it hasn't used in a bit. I also learned about the CD key changer that Kol uses, it works differently than Etal. There is no lag with TPs or changing areas. He was right though, my runs became about 10 seconds shorter, which means a lot over 1k runs. Kol was a little more intricate to set up, but I was able to do so after about a half hour. But it made me curious, so I downloaded Kolbot and decided I would try it without touching my Etal so if Kol didn't work out I could just go back to Etal. I was kinda like 'yeah sure man', not really believing it. He said if I ran Kolbot I would save around 10 seconds per run. A guild buddy of mine came in game and said that my runs were good but not to their potential, I asked what he meant. Up until about a month ago, I was doing this and had 4 characters in my chaos games and it was a really solid run. And then you can keep going, so 4 keys is good for 2 characters and so on. This is really good and works for a 2:1 ratio, meaning if you have 2 keys you can safely run 1 character in 3 minute games continuously without getting tamp banned often. So with Etal you can run however many keys per character and have it swap keys every x amount of games.

I recently started getting more CD keys because I wanted to run more bots. The ease of configuration and in game controls made it a really positive experience.

This was back around 1.09 patch so things were really easy to set up. It was very easy to configure and as I said, it was fairly popular at the time so many people were making Youtube video tutorials and web tutorials for me to follow. That was awesome and a great first experience with botting. I ran one baal bot and got a 98 (I've never gotten a 99 :(.). It seemed to have more people using it at the time, but I was super low level with it. When I first started botting with decent, but not great, computer knowledge back when I was in high school, I chose Etal. There are the two main or big ones - Etal D2NT and Kolbot.

What bot to use?! I bet some of you may have this question if you are looking to get into botting D2.
