Curing and priorities

nexSys doesn't cure by sending an EAT or APPLY for every affliction. Achaea's server-side curing does the curing. nexSys configures it, keeps it configured as the fight changes, and adds the cures the server doesn't know how to use.

What decides your curing

At any moment, your curing comes from these layers. Higher layers win:

Layer	Set by	Lasts
Active rules	Rules reacting to the situation	While the rule applies
Changes made in game this session	You, typing CURING commands	Until nexSys next loads
Your saved configuration	The configuration window, hh, scripts	Until you change it
nexSys's recommended defaults	nexSys	Until you change them

nexSys combines these into the curing it wants, compares that with what the game has confirmed, and sends only the differences. Most prompts send nothing at all. When a rule switches on, nexSys typically sends a single CURING PRIORITY command, and another when it switches off.

A value a rule controls can't be overridden from the game while the rule is active: nexSys sets it back. Everything else you change in game is respected until the end of the session.

Priorities rank cures

Achaea cures a random affliction among those a given cure treats, so a priority decides which cure goes first, not which affliction. Raising one ginseng affliction means "eat ginseng sooner". It can't choose which ginseng affliction is cured. See Affliction priorities.

Class cures

Server-side curing only uses the standard curatives. nexSys adds class abilities that cure, and uses them automatically when your class has the ability, its balance is ready, and nothing prevents it:

Ability	Classes	Used when you have...
Fitness	Runewarden, Monk, Shikudo, Blademaster, Infernal, Paladin, Sentinel, Druid, Unnamable	Asthma plus slickness or hellsight, together with paralysis, clumsiness, or sensitivity. Or asthma with a damaged head or leg and any of paralysis, clumsiness, sensitivity, slickness, hellsight, or disloyalty.
Bloodboil	Magi	Asthma and slickness, plus hypochondria or paralysis, or plus anorexia while you can't focus.
Educe salt	Alchemist	Asthma and slickness, plus hypochondria or paralysis, or plus anorexia while you can't focus.
Shrugging	Serpent	Asthma and slickness, plus hypochondria or paralysis, or plus anorexia while you can't focus.
Fling fool	Occultist	Asthma and slickness, plus hypochondria or impatience, or plus anorexia while you can't focus.
Alleviate	Blademaster	Asthma and slickness, plus hypochondria or impatience, or plus anorexia while you can't focus.
Dragonheal	Dragon	Asthma, slickness, and anorexia while you can't focus.
Dragonflex	Dragon	Webbed and entangled. Or either one while writhe is unavailable or you're transfixed.
Dwinnu	Bard	Webbed and entangled. Or either one while you're transfixed.

"Can't focus" means your focus balance is used or you have impatience.

Each ability is a rule named automatic-cure.<ability>. To stop nexSys using one, disable its rule, for example nexSys.api.rules.disable("automatic-cure.fitness"). See Rules.

Predictions, prioaff, and the curing queue

Achaea's server-side curing also accepts CURING PREDICT, CURING PRIOAFF, and CURING QUEUE. Scripters reach them through nexSys.api.ss:

nexSys.api.ss.predictions.add("paralysis"); // CURING PREDICT paralysis
nexSys.api.ss.prioAff.set("asthma"); // CURING PRIOAFF asthma
nexSys.api.ss.prioAff.reset();
nexSys.api.ss.queue.add("kelp"); // a manual cure, in CURING QUEUE
nexSys.api.ss.queue.clear();

caution

The game uses up a prioaff or a queued cure, and nexSys can't see when that happens. While you have one requested, nexSys keeps sending it, which re-arms it after the game has used it. Clear the request when you're done. For anything situational, a rule that raises a priority is the better tool.

Pausing and slow mode

pp, dying, typing CURING OFF, and switching curing sets all pause nexSys. Under aeon, nexSys switches to slow mode. See How nexSys works for exactly what each one does.

For scripters: inspecting server-side state

nexSys.state.serverside shows how nexSys sees server-side curing. It's the first place to look when curing doesn't do what you expect:

Branch	Meaning
baseline	Your saved configuration.
sessionBaseline	Your saved configuration plus the changes you've made in game this session.
desired	What nexSys wants the server to have right now: sessionBaseline plus active rule changes and requests.
observed	What the game has confirmed, including the active curing set.
transient	One-off requests: predictions, prioaff, and the manual curing queue.
pending	Commands sent and awaiting confirmation.

nexSys.state.rules shows which rules are active and which rule won each value. Scripts can change priorities with setPriority(), which lasts for the session, or setDefaultPriority(), which changes your default. Both are under nexSys.api.affs and nexSys.api.defs. See the API reference for when defaults are saved.
