***If you haven't started the world event, disregard***
TL;DR You can be randomly attacked anywhere in the game by an NPC 3 times per day, except for the places listed above.
Obviously if you are running a script and not babysitting, you will likely die. These NPCs have abilities and are reasonably powerful if you don't have good combat gear.
Dying to these guys is NOT SAFE.
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else so I thought I'd pass it on to everyone here. make sure you've been ambushed 3 times before botting, or maybe wear heavy combat armor and leave auto retaliate on while botting AFK.
Ambushes
From phase three onwards, players that are aligned to one of the two factions can be attacked by ambushers of the opposing faction, up to 3 times per day. Killing these ambushers will result in a generous amount of renown.
Ambushers cannot attack in the following places:
Daemonheim.
Banks.
The Wilderness.
Instances.
The ambushers will also not attack while a cutscene is active, if you are already in combat or if you are at less than half health.
Ambushes have the chance to occur between 15-45 minutes after you log in. Once an ambush has successfully occurred, the next one will be attempting in 1-2 hours time. If an ambush can't occur on the first try, it will try again 10 minutes later.
