<nowiki>
</nowiki><nowiki>AFK</nowiki>
<nowiki>
</nowiki><nowiki>⬥ These do not usually require any attention to the game</nowiki>
<nowiki>
</nowiki><nowiki>⬥ You may still need to interact infrequently, for example: clicking to prevent lobbying, drinking potions, using </nowiki>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/513200949016264727.png?v=1 <nowiki>enhancedexcalibur</nowiki>]<nowiki> or </nowiki>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/656426717505650708.png?v=1 <nowiki>ancientshard</nowiki>]<nowiki>, collecting loot, healing familiars with </nowiki>[https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/938475261366784070.png?v=1 <nowiki>prismofrestoration</nowiki>]

</nowiki><nowiki>Low Effort</nowiki>
<nowiki>
</nowiki><nowiki>⬥ These usually do require you to pay attention to the game, and are instead used to heavily reduce inputs required to kill a boss</nowiki>
<nowiki>
</nowiki><nowiki>⬥ In addition to those listed above under AFK, example interactions include: queuing an ability before the fight, repositioning every kill, banking between kills, moving out of the way of mechanics, eating food at low health</nowiki>
