Welcome — start here

Auto FATE Grind is a Dalamud plugin that runs the FATE grind for you. Tick the zones you want, press Run selected, and the plugin teleports to each one, scans for active FATEs, flies to them, engages, and rotates to the next selected zone when the current one runs dry.

This project is small and focused. It covers every FATE zone from A Realm Reborn through Dawntrail — tick whichever ones you want to run today. Bicolor Gemstone farming and auto-trade apply to the expansions that actually have them (ShB / EW / DT). Expect occasional rough edges per-zone — FATE pacing, obstacle maps, and reward addons shift between expansions and any of them can drift.

What it does, in 30 seconds

Open /afg, tick the zones you want to run, press Run selected. The plugin:

1. Teleports to the zone.
2. Mounts and flies (via vnavmesh) to the nearest active FATE that passes your filters.
3. Engages — BossMod (or BossMod Reborn) takes over combat; TextAdvance handles the turn-in dialog on Collect FATEs.
4. Holds on the FATE until it ends, then scans for the next one in the same zone.
5. When the zone runs dry (or your grind-mode target is hit), moves to the next selected zone.

Pick a grind mode to set the stop condition: Farm Gemstones (to a Bicolor target), Run N FATEs, Farm for Time, or Endless. Optional extras keep a long run going hands-off — a class queue (cycle gearsets with per-class level caps), auto-repair, auto food/medicine, a Humanizer that takes random city breaks, party-invite auto-decline, and a GM-nearby alert.

Cancellable mid-run from the same window. Selection persists across reloads. There's a live FATE tracker inline in the main window and an optional HUD overlay.

Install (short version)

/xlsettings → Experimental → paste into Custom Plugin Repositories:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XeldarAlz/DalamudPlugins/main/repo.json

Tick Enabled, click +, then Save and Close. Open /xlplugins → search Auto FATE Grind → Install. Open with /afg.

The plugin needs vnavmesh (movement), BossMod or BossMod Reborn (combat), and TextAdvance (dialog). /afg deps lists them and one-clicks each missing one.

Two things to know before posting

1. Check existing discussions and issues first. A surprising amount is already answered. Search before you post.
2. Expansion matters. FATE pacing, level sync, and the reward addons differ across expansions (ARR through DT), so "it broke in Living Memory" is a different bug from "it broke in Central Thanalan" even if the symptom looks similar. The bug template asks for the expansion for a reason.

Welcome aboard.
