Is the bot free to use?
The vast majority of the bot's features are free to use and always will be. However, we do offer a premium service that allows you to unlock some special features for your Discord, such as high quality music streaming, an increased cap on your Discord's limits for custom commands, live streamer notifications e.t.c, and also detailed insights about the growth and activity of your Discord over time in the form of beautiful and interactive charts. As the bot gets bigger, it gets more costly to run. The premium service helps us with this and we hope that you enjoy the rewards we give you for offering your support.

What permissions does the bot need?
To use most of the bot's commands, it will need the 'Send Messages', 'Read Messages', 'Embed Links', 'Attach Files', and 'Add Reactions' permissions. If however, you would like to use the Custom Commands feature for self-assignable roles, the bot will need the 'Manage Roles' permission, and his role must be above all roles you configure as self-assignable in your Discord's roles hierarchy. Many of the bot's Moderation commands will need additional permissions such as 'Manage Messages', 'Kick' and 'Ban'. Please see our permissions guide for more information.

Does Ser Aymeric ever go down?
It does occasionally, but not for long. Unfortunately as with any technology application that works across the internet, we are at the mercy of environmental factors, such as problems with Discord's API or Gateway, problems at the datacenters that host our application, or problems with any of the servers that comprise Ser Aymeric. Additionally, some updated that are made by the developers require restarts of the application which take only minute.
Whatever the reason for the down time, however. We communicate this in our Discord. We can also assure you that Aymeric is never down or offline for too long. In the past year maximum downtime has lasted for only half an hour.

Why can't Ser Aymeric find my character when I try adding it?
The bot is using Lodestone's search function to find your character. The search function isn't perfect, especially if your character name is short and sometimes we may not be able to find results. However, if you are able to access your character's profile on the Lodestone, the URL to that profile contains your character's ID. You may save your character using that ID instead.
