What does the script do?

Why use a raidcatcher?

Raidcatchers are helpful in multiple ways. They reduce the amount of time you need to spend asking for already known raids in the world chat, they provide you with a less click-intensive way of joining raids and reduce the amount of trains in the world chat, allowing for conversations to take place.

What other raidcatchers are there?

As far as I know there are two more authors for raid catchers at the moment. Hesperus has downloadable application for joining raids on pretty much any server, Mutik has a script for Armorgames and one for Kongregate doing the task.

Installation & Setup

A Monkey?

As with any userscript you’ll need a Monkey - if you installed mutik’s script you already have one, otherwise use Tampermonkey(Chrome&Opera), Violentmonkey(Opera) or Tampermonkey(Firefox) depending on the browser used.

Currently Greasemonkey(Firefox) seems to fail joining raids on Firefox, so we’d propose switching to the Tampermonkey(Firefox).

Installing the script

To install the script you merely need to open it’s URL in the browser you installed the monkey in. That should make the monkey ask you to install it.

Don’t be worried about the size of the script, since you are only installing a loader, that makes sure you can have an up to date version without needing to rely on luck when the monkeys update.

Where do I find it now?

To have a userscript loaded, you will need to load the side it’s going to be used on, if it’s already open reload it, otherwise just open it normally.

You will find some grey boxes to the right:
