Bond vs Arcane

Arcane is a levelling specialist, with text and voice XP, rank cards and role rewards. It gets tight when you want the level system to feed something else, like a custom command or a weekly post.

We build Bond. Everything below about Arcane comes from its own public pages.

What Arcane is known for

Levelling and level role rewards, configured in its own interface and switched on per feature.

What Bond does differently

Bond stores per-server data itself, so a level system is just data you can build on: role rewards, a /rank command, a weekly leaderboard post, all described in the same conversation.

One sentence, instead of the panels.

  • @Bond Track message counts, give the Regular role at level 5, and post the top 10 every Monday

When to stay on Arcane.

Stick with Arcane if you want levelling set up once and left alone, with rank cards out of the box.

It is good at levelling and level role rewards, and there is no prize for switching a tool you are happy with. Add Bond for the jobs Arcane does not cover, and leave the rest where it is.

And if you do switch, in three moves.

Both bots can run at once. There is no import step and nothing to migrate.

Add Bond alongside

Arcane keeps doing exactly what it does today. Bond joins without touching a single existing setting.

Move one thing across

Pick the part you like least. Describe what it does to Bond, approve the changes, and watch it run for a week.

Turn the old one off

Only once the new one has run. Repeat for the next part, or stop here and keep both.

Try Bond on one thing this week.

Free to start, and nothing you have set up in Arcane changes when you add it.
