When do I get drops?

The drops maytake up to 24 hours to show up in your inventory. Drops are not guarantee for all users. You might get one, but your friend might not for example. That is not something we control.

The client closes as soon as I open it, what's wrong?

Usually this problem is caused by the configuration of config.yaml in your folder. In the config you should change username to your Riot account name and password to your Riot password. Make sure to leave the quotation marks infront and after your username and password

If the heartbeat does not update after a minute, try restarting the program. If it still does not update, check the Troubleshooting page.

My computer says it can't run the farmer, what do I do?

Sometimes Windows might try to protect you from unknown programs, however that is a false positive in this case. Usually you can press “More info” and then “Run anyway”.

Is the program safe to run?

This is an open-source project, you can check the code yourself if you are concerned this is a virus. In addition to that, your login information is only stored in your config.yaml file and it is only used to log in into the website. The program does not send any information to any other server than the ones of lolesports.com and the Riot Authentication server.

Which operating systems are supported?

Windows 10 and 11. Windows 8 is known to work but not natively supported. Anything else may require you to install Python manually and run the program directly from the source code. Locate the "Advanced Installation Guides" in the sidebar for more information.
