Why is my character standing still with auto-battle on?

Since Netmarble's September 16 update, auto-battle switches itself off if the character hasn't fought anything for five minutes after you enable it. It's about combat, not your keyboard: a fight in progress keeps it running. So check whether the character is actually engaging a target before you touch the queue.

Match the symptom to the cause
What happenedCheck first
Standing around, not fighting Target in range, and the five-minute no-combat rule
Stopped after dying Stop-on-death setting
Stopped with a heavy bag Weight threshold
Never went to town for maintenance Maintenance condition and Olga's Grace
Short answer

VAMPIR auto-battle usually stops for one of four reasons: death, the bag weight limit, no Olga's Grace for auto-maintenance, or five minutes without combat. How to tell them apart, what the September 16 update fixed and how to set up Support Mode.

Were the daily-quest and offline-timer bugs fixed?

Yes. The same update fixed a character standing idle after a queue with only daily quests ticked, and dungeon plan time restarting when you switched from Support Mode to offline mode. Still stuck? Change one setting at a time and watch for a couple of minutes.

What can you set in Support Mode?

Support Mode settings in the Korean guide
SettingWhat it does
Execution Reorder activities, check progress, run only what you selected
Stop on death Interrupts the queue when the character dies
Weight limit Interrupts when the bag reaches the set weight
Auto-maintenance On the set condition: walk to a nearby town, dismantle per bulk settings, store items already in the warehouse, buy from general merchants per settings, then resume at the chosen content

The toggle sits in the second area of the main screen, next to chat and power-saving mode. Power saving lowers the screen load; Support Mode decides what the character does.

How should you set it up the first time?

  1. Put daily content first and the open-ended farm last, so the capped stuff always gets done.
  2. Keep stop-on-death on until you know the spot. A dead character in a queue is a queue doing nothing.
  3. Set the weight limit below the point where you stop picking up loot, then let auto-maintenance handle the town trip.
  4. Check the bulk dismantle settings before enabling auto-maintenance: it dismantles by those rules without asking.
  5. Set the merchant purchase list so potions restock on the same trip.

FAQ

When does Support Mode unlock?
After you finish "Memory of Light" in Episode 2.
Do I need Olga's Grace for Support Mode?
Only for auto-maintenance, the town trip that dismantles, stores and restocks. The activity queue and its stop rules don't need it.
Do Support Mode settings survive a server transfer?
Yes. Netmarble's September transfer notice keeps your Support Mode progress, dungeon picks, time settings and auto-maintenance setup.
