Choosing your setup

What should you check in a WoW questing bot?

A WoW questing bot is only as good as its quest profiles, so before you buy PS Bot, GL Epsilon or SIN/SIO, check that it has current profiles for your expansion and zones, handles travel, turn-ins and deaths by itself, and tells you who fixes a profile when a quest changes. Questing is a much longer chain than a combat rotation, and a product name tells you nothing about whether that chain exists.

Profiles
Expansion and zone profiles matter more than the combat logic.
Dependencies
PS Bot needs PS Base. AKH needs NilName. Forge's old listing needed NilName or TCX and is gone.
Support
Ask who fixes stuck profiles and what support covers.

What makes a questing bot work?

Supported expansion and zone profiles, travel logic, turn-ins, group handling and recovery after a death or a missing objective. If the seller only lists combat routines, it isn't a questing product. Project SylvanasGotham

Project Sylvanas Bot is an add-on to PS Base, so you buy both. Gotham describes GL Epsilon as covering quest leveling alongside gathering, grinding, battlegrounds and auction automation, but the current game branches and the developer's own specs still need confirming. Project SylvanasGotham

Which bots list questing?

SIN/SIO profiles cover questing, dungeons, gathering and professions depending on edition, with schedules, account switching, selling, mail and guild-bank handling. SIN includes its unlocker (the program that lets the bot act inside the game); you pick Basic or Full at activation and can't switch later. Gotham reckons about 95% of SIO's features work, with gaps on some branches. GothamGotham

Forge's old Halenir listing advertised task queues and profile-driven work on compatible NilName or TCX access, and that offer is gone. AKH is a gathering bot and needs NilName separately. HalenirGotham

Does the profile match your expansion?

A profile for one expansion proves nothing about another. Write down WoW edition, patch, region and operating system before you compare listings, because a Retail or Classic label needs a current profile behind it. Halenir's SIN listing, for example, names official English and Chinese clients including TBC Anniversary and excludes private servers. WoW UnlockersGothamHalenir

Who handles a stuck character?

Ask who owns the profile when a quest changes, how support deals with a stuck character and whether the license covers another session. A bot can be online while its profile is useless on your patch. WoW UnlockersWoW Unlockers

I haven't left questing bots running unattended, so there's no safety result to report. The profiles label seller claims and old reports as what they are. WoW UnlockersWoW Unlockers

What to write down before paying

Bot, unlocker, profiles, session count, duration, currency and support route. If an offer is out of stock or the duration is missing, ask instead of turning a placeholder into a monthly price. HalenirWoW Unlockers

Each profile has the dated sources; go to the seller through its current link. A search result doesn't prove a key still activates. WoW Unlockers
