## Buffbot

The Buffbot automatically applies selected skills to a specified target at a set interval.

* **Target name** — Select the target that will receive your buffs, or click **Get VID** to grab it from your current selection in-game.
* **Skills** — Select the skills you want to cast on the target.
* **Delay** — Set how frequently (in seconds) the bot should re-apply buffs to the target.
* **Follow target** — When enabled, the bot will follow the specified target to stay in range.
* **Go to entity** — Select the movement method used to reach the target:
  * **Walking** — Moves normally on foot.
  * **Hybrid** *(recommended)* — Combines movement modes to avoid getting stuck, while appearing to other players as if you are walking normally.
  * **Teleporting** — Instantly moves to the target's position.
* **Reach target** — Choose how close the bot needs to get before casting (e.g. **Close to target**), instead of always closing to melee range.

## Skillbot

The Skillbot automatically activates selected skills based on a configurable cooldown check.

* **Skip skill animation** — When enabled, skill animations are skipped during use, speeding up skill activation.
* **Skills** — Select the skills you want the bot to use automatically.
* **Strong body** — When enabled, the bot will activate the Strong Body skill regardless of your character's race. This is useful for preventing knockback from other players or mobs. Note: this feature may not work on all servers.
* **Delay** — Set how frequently (in seconds) the bot should check whether a skill is ready to be used.
* **Only use when farmbot has target** — Restricts the Skillbot to firing only while the [Farming](/private-servers/farming.md) bot is actively engaged with a target, instead of on a free-running timer.
* **Use all skills at once** — Casts every selected skill together on cooldown instead of cycling through them one at a time.
