Wizard101-Trivia-Bot

WARNING: I have had reports of bans occuring, so KI is most likely trying to find accounts using this bot. Use at your own risk

UPDATE 2023

This bot no longer works unless updated by someone.

Changes with the captcha

The usage of this bot is now no longer free. To get around the captchas you will have to spend money on a captcha solving service. This bot is configured to work with https://capmonster.cloud/ . To use this bot, create an account on capmonster, load up funds onto your account ($2 is the minimum) and set your API Key in the config.txt file.

Capmonster charges $0.6 per 1000 Captchas. That means in theory $0.6 for 1000 Trivias or 10000 Crowns. Due to their error rate however you can assume the total will be more around $0.8-$1.0 per 1000 Captchas.

Recaptchas also take longer to solve, it can be anywhere from a couple seconds to three minutes for each. Keep this in mind. On the last test runs, running 10 accounts (100 trivias) would take around 25 minutes (2m 30s per account) with the default settings. You might be able to get better results messing around with the settings.

I will not take responsibility for any investment you make, spend money at your own risk!

Introduction

I've seen implementations of these type of bots but I've seen none that allow account switching as well which is why I made this Bot. This will allow you to supply your accounts and have them automatically go through the needed quizzes.

To use this you have 2 choices, with or without Python. Using python is better for more technically experienced people and others who want to know whats being run on their PC. For everyone else I supplied a release in the form of a .exe file.

• Run "invisible" in background

Config Guide

After the bot starts for the first time it will generate a config.txt file. Open it with any texteditor to change your settings. Available settings:

• threads: This is the amount of parallel accounts the bot will do trivia on. Default is 1, I recommend not to go over 2 as you might experience more Too Many Request errors.
• headless: This mode, if turned on, will make chrome run in the background. You will not see any chrome tabs, you only have the console output. To turn it on set to 1, set back to 0 to see the tabs again.
• smartwait: This is an evasion method for the Too many requests error. Most of the time used by the bot is waiting for captchas to complete. So the most request-intensive action, the answering of questions will be limited to 1 thread at a time. When that thread is done and waiting for a captcha solve the next thread will continue.
• smartwaitthreads: The amount of parallel threads on which the bot will answer questions. If going above 1 it is recommended to up your answerDelay to prevent too many requests error.
• tooManyRequestsCooldown: The amount of seconds to wait after receiving the "Too Many Requests" error. Default is 45 seconds.
• totalCrownsEarned: The total amount of crowns this bot has earned you. This will update everytime an account completes its trivias and will persist across multiple uses of the bot.
• answerDelay: The amount of seconds to wait before answering each question in a trivia. This can help prevent "Too Many Requests" errors. Default is set to 0.0 seconds

Restart the bot for the changes to take effect.

Installation without Python

1. Download the release.zip from the Releases section and extract the contents into a new folder.
2. Tesseract 5 - Make sure to install it under C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR or change the default path in the config.txt https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract/tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v5.0.0-alpha.20200328.exe 2. Chromedriver - I have supplied my chromedriver in this repository, however you may need to get another version depending on what version of Chrome you have.
3. Chromedriver - I have supplied my chromedriver in this repository, however you may need to get another version depending on what version of Chrome you have. If the supplied does not work please do the following:

• First, find out which version of Chrome you are using. Let's say you have Chrome 72.0.3626.81, you can do this in your Settings -> About Chrome.
• Take the Chrome version number, remove the last part, and append the result to URL "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_". For example, with Chrome version 72.0.3626.81, you'd get a URL "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_72.0.3626".
• Use the URL created in the last step to retrieve a small file containing the version of ChromeDriver to use. For example, the above URL will get your a file containing "72.0.3626.69". (The actual number may change in the future, of course.)
• Use the version number retrieved from the previous step to construct the URL to download ChromeDriver. With version 72.0.3626.69, the URL would be "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=72.0.3626.69/".
• Download the chromedriver_win32.zip and extract it into the project folder.
