🤖 PlayerBots Guide

What Are PlayerBots?

Rick's Vanilla has 600+ active bots for grouping, dungeons, and raids! You can recruit existing server bots to join your party, or create your own custom bots from your characters.

Using Existing Server Bots

Easiest way to get started! Invite bots that are already on the server:

  1. Use /invite BOTNAME to add a server bot to your party
  2. Use the commands below to control them
  3. Bots will fight, heal, and follow you in dungeons!

Creating Your Own Bots

Want to make a bot from your own characters? Here's the full process:

Step 1: Create a character
Create a new character in your WoW client (starts at level 1, any race/class)
Step 2: Log out
Log out your new character (it must be offline before converting to a bot)
Step 3: Convert to bot
Go back to your main character and use:
.bot add CHARACTERNAME
Your character is now a bot!
Step 4: Invite to party
Now invite your new bot to your party:
/invite BOTNAME
The bot should appear in your party.
Step 5: Teleport closer (if needed)
If your bot is far away, bring it to you instantly:
namego BOTNAME

(No dot prefix needed — just the command name)

💡 Pro tip: Level your bot by farming so it's stronger in dungeons!

How to Send Commands

📢 Commands Work 2 Ways:
  • Whisper: /w BOTNAME command — Send command privately to bot
