[Tool] L2Axis Control – free companion panel: ping, boss respawns, votes & timers

[michelmoura]

Hi everyone!

I'm Snoopdi. I've been playing L2 since the LAN-house days in Brazil, and I built a small companion panel for myself while playing on L2Axis. It turned out useful enough that I wanted to share it with the community. RockStar has seen it and gave it his OK, and the project is public so everyone can collaborate.

UPDATE – Crafting guide, character plan & masterworks
A big update focused on helping new players reach top-tier gear by crafting:

• Step-by-step guide for every top-tier item (Dynasty, Icarus, Moirai, Vesper): crafting order, full material tree and shopping list. For recipes below 100% it already counts the average number of attempts, so you don't run out of materials halfway.
• Character profile: pick your race and class and the list shows only what your class uses (weapon type, heavy/light/robe, shield or sigil).
• My plan: the best items for your class in every slot and how to get each one (craft, craft + unseal, masterwork or drop), plus how close the best craftable item gets to the best item in the game.
• Dual swords & dual daggers: they have no recipe in High Five. The Blacksmith of Mammon / Ishuma combines two weapons with a Dualsword Craft Stamp, and the guide shows the full tree of both weapons.
• Masterworks: every craft has a small chance to give a Foundation item that Mammon turns into a masterwork. The panel shows the bonus (Atk. Spd, Critical, critical damage, HP, P.Def…) and ranks weapons by an estimated real damage. A masterwork can beat a weapon with higher base P.Atk!
• Sources: which mobs drop or spoil each recipe, piece and material (chance, level, area) and the NPC exchanges to unseal or upgrade.
• Item icons straight from your own game client, a bigger resizable window and a text size option.

Drop chances, masterwork bonuses and exchanges are the official High Five values (L2J datapack). L2Axis may use its own rates, so treat them as a map, not a promise. Base item stats come from the L2Axis client itself.





What's in the panel
It's a floating window, styled like the game's own UI, that keeps everything in one place:

• Craft — the crafting guide described above.
• Votes — all 17 vote sites in one list, with the 4 main ones (★) highlighted. Each site gets its own 12-hour timer, the panel beeps when you can vote again, and one button opens every available site at once. Don't forget .vote afterwards!
• Bosses — respawn countdowns with the exact date and time, level, area and coordinates, filters (epics / dead / favorites), sort by level and level ranges. It beeps when a boss you're watching respawns.
• Network — live ping and packet loss to the server. Tip for South American players: my disconnects were caused by packet loss on the route to Germany, and the free Cloudflare WARP app took it from 23% to 0%.
• Clients — open, focus and arrange your game windows (respects the 4 clients per HWID rule).
• Timers for instances, raids and buffs. Available in English, Portuguese and German.

What it does NOT do: it doesn't touch the game's memory or network traffic, and it never plays for you. No botting, no automation inside the game.

Note: the Bosses tab reads the Alt+B → Bosses page through a small client tweak that will be released once the staff approves it. Until then that tab stays empty.

Download / update: https://github.com/Michelcm/L2AxisControl (free, open source, MIT) → Code → Download ZIP, extract it inside your L2Axis folder and run install.bat. Already using it? Just replace the files.
Requires Windows 10/11 (the installer sets up Python if needed). Details are in the README.

Feedback and suggestions are very welcome! And a big thank you to RockStar for keeping L2Axis alive — the panel has a little tribute to him, click the medallion in the corner.

A quick note about trust

Some players asked in the chat whether they can trust this tool, and that's a fair question. So, to be clear:

• I'm not staff. This is a hobby project, and my only intention is to help the community.
• I strongly recommend waiting for RockStar's reply here in the forum before you start using it.
• The code is 100% open on GitHub. You don't need to trust me: you can check it yourself. If you're not a programmer, you can give the files to an AI like Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to look for anything malicious.
• The same tools can help you contribute new features. Pull requests and ideas are very welcome.
• The panel never sends your account or password anywhere. Auto-login is optional and only uses passwords you save yourself, encrypted by Windows on your own PC.

Thanks for the feedback, and see you in game!
