Snowbot vs MoonBot: which Dofus bot to choose?

MoonBot covers three versions of the game, each with its own space: Dofus 3 (Unity), Dofus Retro 1.48 and Dofus Touch (mobile and PC). Subscriptions are taken separately per version.

The structural difference is the execution model: MoonBot announces a fully cloud-based setup, nothing to install, no VPS to rent or maintain. You drive your bots from a dashboard, not from a machine you have to leave running.

You can see the logic of the dashboard here: the left column lists the accounts and their state, the top bar gives the status of the connected character, and each tab covers one area — chat, character, combat, map, MapViewer, stats, config, bank, marketplace, crafting, forgemagic, scripts. The combat tab lets you order spells, set turn conditions and define an overall tactic without writing a line of code.

Scripting — the part I care about most

This is where MoonBot stands out for someone who writes scripts. The engine is Lua, documented, with an editor built into the dashboard:

• Dofus 3: 28 Lua modules with integrated documentation
• Retro & Touch: 395 functions across 20 namespaces — combat, map, inventory, NPCs, chat, marketplace, crafting, quests, mounts, trades
• A script marketplace

What MoonBot automates (Dofus 3)

• Full combat on every character
• Gathering in a loop
• Bank, marketplace, auto-selling
• Crafting with recipes
• Player trades and NPC shops
• Multi-map travel
• Leader and mule groups, isolated sessions with a dedicated proxy per account
• Character creation and server selection
• Kolizeum, mounts and forgemagic announced in beta

Interface

The dashboard announces 14 tabs per bot and an isometric MapViewer covering 28 worlds. In practice, the MapViewer rebuilds the map isometrically with the character's position, the monsters and their level, the doors and the interactive elements — without opening the game client:

On Touch the approach is different: a built-in MITM displays the game itself directly in the browser, next to the control panels.

Announced pricing

From 29 € per month, with tiers depending on how many bots you run in parallel. A trial tier lets you test before paying. Each version is subscribed to separately.

The most important point for me is not only comparing two pieces of software today. It is choosing the platform I want to build the rest of DofuzBot on. On that question, my answer is MoonBot.

Unity, Touch, Retro, a documented scripting engine, a shared dashboard and the cloud: that base matches the direction I want to take. Working on one platform instead of juggling three changes how I approach my development work.

Concretely, for the rest of the project:

• my upcoming development is designed around the MoonBot ecosystem;
• coaching uses this platform for new setups;
• custom development is done on this base first.

An honest note about the current catalogue: the scripts already published are still distributed through AnkaBot and written for that platform. Migrating them to MoonBot is being looked at: they will only be announced as compatible once that has actually been verified, not before. If you need something specific on MoonBot right now, that is custom work — we can talk about it on Discord.
