Once you confirmed you are on the correct NavMesh you will need to place Markers for each area in the zone that you want to grind at. You can set these based on level ranges or by time. Locate the Marker Manager by clicking on Advanced Settings.
You want to set the Marker Mode to List if you are going to run multiple markers for different level ranges or times. Set the marker mode to single if you are going to stay at one marker only.
Set the marker Type to Grind Marker then Click New Marker.

once you have your marker manager set up with the list of markers you want to use for grinding you need to select a skill profile for the class you are running.The Skill Manager is located under Advanced Settings. If its the default profile you want to run when this class is loaded tick that box and tick the enabled box.

Expand this option window and put a tick in "Do Fates"

Prioritize Claims: works with Content ID from your grind markers. When Enableing Prioritize Claims the bot will try and gather all mobs within the Claim Range that match the content ID you put on the grind marker.
Claim Range sets how far the bot will look for Mobs when you enable Prioritize Claims.
Attack Claimed will attack mobs that are claimed by other people/groups.
Rest HP, Rest MP sets the bot to rest when finishing combat below the % vaule placed.
Flee HP%, Flee MP% sets the bot to Flee combat when reaching these values while in combat. The Evac point (flee point) is set in the mesh manager.
Combat Range% is for ranged classes. This setting is % value of your max range. so if your max range is 25yalm setting this setting to 90% will have you try to attack the mob when you are about 20 yalms away.
FATE Options:
![[Image: ADkpUiK.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ADkpUiK.png)
Rest in fates will enable you to rest when the HP/MP% value is reached after combat while doing fates.
MaxFatelvl:+ is how many levels above your current level you want to do fates. For example if you are level 20 and set it to +5 it will do fates up to level 25.
MinFatelLvl- is how many levels below your current level you want to do fates. For example if you are level 20 and you set it to -5 it will do fates as low as lvl 15.
WaitForcomplete% the bot will run to the edge of the fate and wait for what ever value you place in this box. For example 5%, the bot will wait till 5% of the fate is completed before joining.
Teleport % If the fate reaches a certain completed % the bot will simply telepot straight into the fate instead of running to it. Teleport must be on and no players within 30y of you.
