What MFBot has going for it

Credit where it is due. MFBot has been around for well over a decade, while Mercy SF is young. It has its own forum with years of questions and answers, and it runs on 32-bit systems and older versions of Windows that Mercy SF does not support. If those things matter to you, it is a reasonable choice.

Where Mercy SF is different

Every feature for everyone

There is no donor tier. Automatic updates, new modules and every setting are the same for everybody, and a donation changes nothing in the app.

Native on every desktop

Built with Rust and Tauri 2. There is no .NET or Mono runtime to install, and it is the same app on Windows, macOS and Linux.

The timed events

The World Boss, the Hellevator and the Legendary Dungeon have their own modules, and the bot checks whether an event is really running before it acts.

It shows its reasoning

Every decision comes with its reason on screen, so you can see why it attacked somebody, or why it waited.

Made for a new server

A server-start mode unlocks each feature as soon as the level allows and fills the scrapbook while every item is still new.

Other Shakes & Fidget bots and tools

Besides full bots there are smaller helpers: browser extensions that suggest scrapbook targets, battle simulators, guild statistics for Discord, and macro tools that click the screen for you. They answer narrower questions, and some of them answer those well. Whatever you choose, a few questions are worth asking first.

Before you run any Shakes & Fidget bot

  • Where does your login go? It should stay on your own machine, not on somebody else's server.
  • Can you check the download? Look for published checksums or signed updates.
  • Does it promise to be undetectable? Nobody can promise that. Treat it as a warning sign.
  • Does it promise free mushrooms or gold? That is impossible in an online game and means a scam.
  • Does it spend mushrooms on its own? Spending should be off until you allow it, with a limit you set.
  • Does it tell you what it is doing? A bot that only says 'running' is hard to trust with an account you have played for years.
