I'm a pretty one trick pony as it relates to botting. I love to level and the thought of having everything maxed is a great feeling to me! But now ... I have reached my goal of all 50s! Hurray me! The question I have for everyone is, what are you using RebornBuddy for outside of things like gear progression? Farming and Market Board? Grinding GCs? Been exploring my options, but can't figure out what's best.
I definitely still use it for combat rotations. I was thinking more of what to do while watching TV and not looking 100% of the time. Semi-AFK type stuff.
A lot of uses, actually: - Crafts better than me, I'm using it to get the Lucis tools on all my crafting jobs. - Lucis tools need GC stuff (like Camel Hair) so I use it to grind fates for seals. - Farm and sell to stock up in gil. - Combat assist to keep my 1-2-3 rotation as a paladin tank, I manage CDs and stuff though.
Nah I use a small routine I made for it. As I said, it only keeps my 1-2-3 rotation, everything else I do it myself. It's nothing fancy really.
Care to share what methods you used? I'm having a tough time getting anything remotely AFK-able going. FATE bot is decent but slow, but right now I'm just trying to get everything to level 10 via some grinding profiles and it can't even make it to the grind spot without engaging and dying to higher level mobs.
I tend to babysit my character as it starts up and runs to the desired location. About 90% of the time it works rather well. My character runs to the desired location and the bot goes to work. Sometimes I've watched the bot teleport to a node, then make a B-line to the destination and "if" it happens across a higher level aggressive mob it sometimes begins combat, and that results in a death. Another time I had my character run to the lvl 1-3 spot, and it simply killed the level 3 monsters over and over again despite being level 10. Additionally, because I haven't messed with the repair addon, I tend to check in every 2 hours or so to make sure my gear is repaired, and there are no problems. Fatebot has been pretty smooth. I started out by leveling mining, and making money. Once I had about 200-300k gil it was easy to switch to a combat role, and buy out all high-quality gear for whatever job I was leveling. Having good gear made fate grinding much more reliable. I have noticed sometimes that my character would die if I was under-geared, because "sometimes" the bot likes to chain pull, or accidentally aggro several mobs at once. Overall it's been rather successful. I imagine once I run out of classes to level I'll probably stop botting for a bit except when I need money. RebornBuddy is an amazing investment, but if I have no use for it, then I just park it, and let my computer get some sleep. I've heard that getting banned for botting is near non-existent on FFXIV, but I wouldn't run my bot for the sake of running it. If I run out of things to do then I won't use it.
I find this to be true, after you've botted on your main people either go two routes, they will stop botting or only bot when they are low on funds, or do what I did and get other accounts and more bots and use those mules 24/7 to farm money everyday.
Indeed they are for mine as well, getting down to 2.0 release prices, currently at 30-50gil per. Ive started switching half of my bots over to actual items to build stock and such that way,.
Yup, shards are bottoming out on EU servers too, so once ive stocked up on shards its actual items for me.
