Autocomplete

The type, rarity, and map parameters all support Discord’s autocomplete feature. Start typing and matching options will appear. For maps, the search matches anywhere in the name — beginning, middle, or end.

Additionally, the type and rarity fields are context-aware: selecting a node rarity (4.4–8.4) filters the type list to nodes only, and selecting a core or vortex type filters rarities to colors only.

Behavior

Duplicate Prevention

If an objective with the same type, rarity, and map already exists within an 8-minute window (±4 minutes of the reported time), the bot rejects the new report and notifies you. This prevents accidental duplicates when multiple guild members spot the same objective.

Maintenance Detection

Albion Online’s daily server maintenance occurs at 10:00 UTC. If the calculated spawn time crosses the 10:00 UTC daily maintenance window, the bot automatically flags it. This tells your guildmates that the objective may not survive the server reset.

Cooldown

This command has a 2-second cooldown per user.

Time Validation

The time parameter must match the HH:MM 24-hour format (e.g., 01:30, 04:00, 12:45). Invalid formats are rejected.

After Reporting

Once added, the objective appears in the /list output. To remove an incorrect entry, use /remove.
