Archmage is a premium bot service designed by an army of precogs able to see the future and determine the best possible hands for each ruleset and mana combination. Archmage boasts having the most comprehensive win/loss database with a robust algorithm for determining your best hand for each match.
Before the Wild/Modern split, Archmage took my Novice, but granted still very expensive and almost complete, deck from Silver where I was just plodding around to Diamond. The advice I've found is to get the full use of the token, you want as complete and evenly leveled of a collection as possible, but to my knowledge, no other publicly available bot boasts the same performance. But what does it cost? You are probably thinking to yourself 1$ a month. 5$ a month? No, it costs:
It's a high performance bot for high performance collections, and it doesn't come cheap. Like premium gas, you don't want to put this in your silver bot farm fodder. This is the creme de la crop. The moaning Lisa. The only bot you want to trust your Maxed out Modern or Wild deck to. If you're looking for the premium bot that will take your premium collection to the next level, these is the droids you are looking for.
Why are there three different Tokens?
Your first step to starting your account is to pick up one of the three Archmage tokens. Any of the three will run the service, and for now, there is no difference between the three. When they release their fee schedule, where you pay a percentage of your rewards instead of a flat rate, the Alpha token will have the best discount, the beta token will have a better discount, and the ARCHMAGE token will run your account just as well but at a slightly higher cost than the early adopters.
Fun story. I bought the ALPHA ARCHMAGEA in January for the cost of two Void Dragons straight from AlmightyMelon.
And RECIEVED 2$ change back.
Now that's what you call a fair trade if you've had way too much to drink, you had a gun to your head, and you owed someone 7$ or they would assasinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Not on Derek Zoolander's watch!!!
Setting Up
Once you've acquired your token, you'll go over to Archmage.app, enter in the account name you're holding the token on, and click Load.
Having the Token in your wallet and loading the settings on the website is the only onboarding the bot requires.
Account Settings
The settings are rather basic, as most of the magic happens in the algorithm in action. You can turn the bot on and off with the slider, select your max leagues, format, frequency, minimum collection power required on the account to play, target ratings to stop climbing at for leaderboard purposes, Focus reward claims, and whether you want to put more or less weight on Focus Reward bonuses. You can also "ban" certain focuses to cause the bot to reroll them whenever possible. Once you're done, you can save your settings by signing with the keychain below.
Splex.gg Integration

10 SPS from a Gold Chest! YES!!!
While the bot database is slightly out of date, I still contend it's the best splinterlands bot algorithm on the market with a new database update on its way! This is truly something special in my opinion. If I bot my account again, this will likely be my choice for running the account.
