Quickstart
This page walks you through your curing setup and the commands you'll use every day. It assumes nexSys is installed and running. If it isn't, start with Installation.
nexSys works well out of the box. Expect to spend about ten minutes here, most of it on defences.
1. Open the configuration window
ns config
The window has five tabs: System, Aff Priorities, Defences, Precache, and Colors. Nothing you change takes effect until you select Save. Cancel, or closing the window, throws your changes away.
2. System
Check these settings first:
- Load on login: switch it on so nexSys starts every time you log in.
- Curing type: choose the curing skill your character uses, Transmutation (minerals) or Concoctions (herbs).
- Sip priority: what to sip first when both health and mana are low.
The
hhalias swaps it in game. - Thresholds: when to sip and eat moss. The defaults suit most characters.
Every setting is explained in System settings.
3. Aff Priorities
nexSys ships with recommended affliction priorities, so there's nothing you have to change here. To make an affliction more or less urgent, drag it to another column. Prio 1 is cured first, and Ignored 26 is never cured.
Leave columns 1 to 3 empty. nexSys's rules use them to push an affliction to the front when the situation calls for it.
4. Defences
The class list starts on your current class. For each defence:
- Priority
1to25means nexSys looks after the defence. Lower numbers go up first.0means nexSys leaves it alone. - Defup checked means the defence goes up only when you type
defup. Unchecked means nexSys keeps it up all the time and raises it again if it's stripped.
Defence names are colored by cost. Red ones take balance or equilibrium to
raise, so give them the lowest priority or leave them for defup. See
Defences for the details.
5. Precache
Each number is how many of that herb or mineral to carry. nexSys takes more
out of your rift when you're short and puts extras back. With the default of
0, that curative stays in your rift. See
Precache.
6. Save
Select Save. nexSys stores your configuration and updates Achaea's server-side curing straight away.
