FATE Farming for SND

This skill covers FATE (Full Active Time Event) automation patterns for SND macros.

Prerequisites

-- FATEs require navigation and combat plugins
if not HasPlugin("vnavmesh") then
    yield("/echo [Script] vnavmesh plugin required for FATE farming")
    StopFlag = true
    return
end

FATE API Reference (SND Built-in)

Core FATE Functions via Fates Object

-- Get all active FATEs in the zone (SND built-in)
local fates = Fates.GetActiveFates()

-- Iterate through FATEs
for i = 0, fates.Count - 1 do
    local fate = fates[i]
    -- Process fate
end

-- Get nearest FATE (SND built-in)
local nearestFate = Fates.GetNearestFate()

FATE Object Properties (Built-in)

-- FATE identification
fate.Id              -- Unique FATE ID
fate.Name            -- FATE name string

-- FATE state
fate.State           -- FateState enum
fate.Progress        -- Completion percentage (0-100)
fate.IsBonus         -- Boolean, true if bonus FATE

-- FATE timing
fate.Duration        -- Total duration in seconds
fate.StartTimeEpoch  -- Unix timestamp when FATE started

-- FATE location
fate.Location        -- Vector3 position (center of FATE)
fate.IconId          -- Icon ID (60722 = boss FATE)

-- Player status
fate.InFate          -- Boolean, true if player is inside FATE area

-- Collection FATEs
fate.EventItem       -- Item ID for collection FATEs

FATE State Enum

FateState = {
    Preparation = 1,  -- FATE spawning
    Running = 2,      -- FATE active
    Ending = 3,       -- FATE completing
    Ended = 4,        -- FATE finished
    Failed = 5        -- FATE failed
}

-- Check if FATE is active
function IsFateActive(fate)
    if fate.State == nil then
        return false
    end
    return fate.State ~= FateState.Ending and
           fate.State ~= FateState.Ended and
           fate.State ~= FateState.Failed
end

-- Check if player is inside any active FATE
function InActiveFate()
    local activeFates = Fates.GetActiveFates()
    for i = 0, activeFates.Count - 1 do
        if activeFates[i].InFate == true and IsFateActive(activeFates[i]) then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

Entity FATE ID Access

-- Import EntityWrapper for FATE entity access
local function load_type(type_path)
    local assembly = type_path:match("^[^%.]+")
    luanet.load_assembly(assembly)
    return luanet.import_type(type_path)
end

EntityWrapper = load_type('SomethingNeedDoing.LuaMacro.Wrappers.EntityWrapper')

-- Get FATE ID from an entity (mob)
local fateId = EntityWrapper(entity).FateId

-- Target closest FATE enemy
function AttemptToTargetClosestFateEnemy()
    local closestTarget = nil
    local closestTargetDistance = math.maxinteger

    for i = 0, Svc.Objects.Length - 1 do
        local obj = Svc.Objects[i]
        if obj ~= nil and obj.IsTargetable and obj:IsHostile() and
           not obj.IsDead and EntityWrapper(obj).FateId > 0
        then
            local dist = GetDistanceToPoint(obj.Position)
            if dist < closestTargetDistance then
                closestTargetDistance = dist
                closestTarget = obj

    end
end

FATE Farming Patterns

Simple FATE Farm Loop

--- Simple FATE farming loop
-- @param options table - Farming options
function FateFarmLoop(options)
    options = options or {}
    local minLevel = options.minLevel or (Player.Level - 5)
    local maxLevel = options.maxLevel or (Player.Level + 2)

Priority-Based FATE Selection

--- FATE priority scoring

    -- Progress bonus (higher progress = higher score)
    score = score + (fate.Progress * progWeight)

    -- Level match bonus
    local levelDiff = math.abs(Player.Level - fate.Level)
    score = score - (levelDiff * levelWeight * 2)

    return score
end

--- Get best FATE by priority
-- @param options table - Filter and priority options
-- @return Fate|nil - Best FATE

Chat Message Triggers

-- Register chat message handler
function OnChatMessage()
    local message = TriggerData.message
    local patternToMatch = "%[FATE%] Complete"

    if message and message:find(patternToMatch) then
        FateComplete = true
    end
end

Best Practices

Always check FATE state - FATEs can end at any time
Use level sync when player level exceeds FATE max level
Handle navigation failures - Restart navigation if stuck
Blacklist problematic FATEs - Some FATEs may be bugged or stuck
Monitor progress - Leave FATEs that aren't progressing
Check player state - Don't start new FATEs while busy
Use appropriate timeouts - 600s for participation, 120s for navigation
Handle special FATE types differently (boss, collection, defense)
Integrate with combat plugins - Don't implement manual rotations
Remove level sync after FATE completion
Use EntityWrapper for accessing FATE-specific entity data
Consider instance hopping when no eligible FATEs available
Use teleport penalties when calculating closest aetheryte (200 distance typical)
