There’s been many cases where I’ve wanted to activate a consumable or item easily within my inventory much like pressing 1 for autoattack, to pressing P for a Mini Pet. Simply because there is no quickslot or easy way to preform these without it being tedious.

Examples such as;
Spawning your Minipet
Activating an Ash Legion Spy Kit
Consuming Specific Foods

I’m not sure if such would be against the rules to have such a utility either (if it exists) as its a single keystroke, one action, one character, but I am unsure if this would fall under the ‘autoclicker’ or similar problem.

I would guess that this does go against the rules as being able to easily activate things such as food/potion items and ash legion spy kits would give you an advantage in the game. There are ways to make this quicker, if you run around with your inventory open in a corner of the screen (just make it small and have your essential items located together at the top) then you can mouse click on the one you want whilst still moving around.

This is pretty much the setup I currently do have. However since I use my mouse alot for camera angle adjustments and the like, moving the mouse constantly to click an item in my inventory is problematic during key combat. (Especially when most items require a double click, not a single.)

Was hoping there was a method that would have been a bit more legal and easier at the same time, but I suppose this is a gripe I’ll simply have to live with.
