WINDOWS / AR TOOL

Installation and usage guide

Follow the setup, launch and feature steps in order. This guide covers the Windows client; screenshots show the current version.

01 / WINDOWS

Install and launch

Check the game folder and environment before launching the client and game.

01

Select the game folder

In AR TOOL, select the Albion Online installation folder. It must directly contain the BattlEye, game and launcher folders.

02

Install Npcap

AR TOOL needs Npcap to run. Download and install it from the official website before launching the client.

Visit the Npcap website
03

Launch in order

If you use a game accelerator, select routing mode and launch accelerator → AR TOOL → game. Administrator access is normally unnecessary; if the game runs as administrator, AR TOOL must too.

04

Set the display mode for ESP

To use ESP mode, first set the game's display mode to Borderless or Windowed.

05

Already started the game?

If you open AR TOOL after the game starts, go through a portal or log back in; otherwise auto fishing may not work correctly.

Resolution: the gathering and fishing bots are known to work at 1920 × 1080 and 2560 × 1440. Test other resolutions yourself.

02 / RADAR

Radar

Filter what appears on the radar and set audio alerts for resources and nearby players.

01

Filter resources and special targets

Choose visible targets by resource type, tier and enchantment. You can also show rare Mists creatures such as fairy dragons and griffins, chest rarity, fishing spots and remaining fish, and Knightfall Abbey entrances.

02

Set audio alerts by resource group

Create resource alert groups with different sounds for tiers and enchantments. You can also alert on Mists creatures, making targets easier to distinguish by sound.

03

Alert on selected mounts

Add selected mounts to Mount alerts and enable audio. When a nearby hostile player rides one, its alert sounds; each mount can have a different sound.

04

View nearby player details

When a nearby hostile player is detected, the panel shows their gear and skills, current health, mount status and combat status. The screenshot shows the panel before a player is detected.

Showing the exact location of hostile players requires separately purchased companion hardware. For purchase or setup questions, email us:

03 / FISHING

Auto fishing

Check the game display, then set the mode, inventory key and target fish.

01

Keep the progress bar visible

Do not cover the fishing progress bar, and leave it in its default in-game position.

02

Set mode and hotkeys

Choose normal or speed-up mode, then set the start and stop hotkeys. Speed-up mode handles some higher-tier fish faster, with an estimated fishing-speed increase of about 200%–300%.

Check the inventory key

The inventory key must match your in-game binding. If bait is not used automatically, check this setting. You can also choose whether to continue fishing after catching wood.

Filter target fish

Choose fish by tier and rarity, such as T7 rare fish only. With this filter, the average is about 6m silver per hour; actual returns depend on market prices and catches.
