If you are writing a script, you need to be aware of these rules. These are hard rules and non-compliance risks getting your account banned.

If you are not sure about something or need a judgment call, PM me. If your problem is new and unique, I will forward it to Tenboro.

The same list of rules can be found here on the wiki.

Forbidden Actions
  • Any automation of gameplay beyond a single action.
  • Parsing the battle state, combat log or other live data to make decisions.
  • Automatic target selection.
  • Rearranging or removing elements on the page to cause monsters to be automatically targeted, or actions to be chosen.
  • Anything that allows a player to collect benefits from HV without their input. (Example: automatic monster feeding.)
  • Any kind of attempts to automate the RiddleMaster in any way, including scripts that automatically scrape riddles for the purposes of machine learning.
Rate Limiting

Battle turns are invisibly hard-limited to 4 per second and locked at the account level, which cannot be evaded in any way.

Out of battle, rate limits are unspecified, but may be enforced automatically by the server resulting in a lockout (which prevents any further actions or page loads). Regularly triggering this limiter risks bans. Script writers should avoid using multiple connection threads for requests, or limit them to the same 4 per second maximum for the safety of users.
