Let me start that by saying that I am not new to botting (*sigh* I’m old). I was there when bots for other games just started, and also when some of them ended (one due to the game being shut down). So far there are, out of about 6 or so bots I tried over the years, 2 I would recommend for 2 games. For FFXIV, it is obviously Miqobot. Why? Let me tell you of the experience I made in the last 2 weeks.

See, I get that Miqobot does not plan to make any approach towards PVP. Not only is it quite the extra workload to program and upkeep an additional combat routine, but from what I gather, the Miqobot team wants to be nice to other players. But because some stuff is only available through PVP, I went ahead and got another bot. I will not name it however as this could be considered advertisement/badmouthing, and it might be against the ToS, and honestly just a dick move in general.

…With all due respect, fuck that bot. I have never seen a system that requires so much tinkering to get it to work. I had to ask at least 4 or 5 questions before the damn thing performed the way I wanted it to. And after everything was done, sure it worked for PvP, but it’s PvE capabilities are dwarfed by what Miqobot is capable of. Not only is that kitty cat more user friendly with a few but important options, it is also way more… competent? I feel like that word fits here.

Miqobot is also a lot more attractive in the price-performance ratio since it offers combat, fishing (this one got me here in the first place by the way) gathering, MGP farming, basically automated gathering if you put some effort into it, a radar, and an absolute marvel of a crafting engine and scenario engine. All of that for 10 bucks? Again, no info on the other bot, but while it offers PvP and PvE as well as crafting, the amount of work you have to put in it to get these parts to work does not justify the price in my opinion. I feel almost dirty for not appreciating this sooner.

So yeah. Thank you Miqobot team. I think it’s safe to say you have the best bot for this game.

PS: A serious question. Can I just donate you some extra money via PayPal? I don’t need anything for it. If so: Instructions on how to do that would be great.

I understand that Patience is only activated by Miqobot when full GP in order to maximize the number of tugs, but we often are fishing for rare big fish that only are up for limited windows and often need Patience up as much as possible, so that Powerful Hook can be used.

Is there a way that Miqobot could be modified to have the user specify the minimum GP for Patience to be used (or have Miqobot calculate this condition), so that we can get two or three uses of Patience, one after another, during the limited time window that rare big fish are up? This is particularly important when we need to mooch one or more fishes to trigger Fisherman’s Intuition to make the rare big fish available and we need Patience up at that time to catch that rare big fish.

In addition, because some rare big fish are virtually impossible to catch without use of Powerful Hook, it often isn’t worthwhile to keep casting without Patience/Powerful Hook up. As such, is there currently a way requiring Miqobot to not fish if it doesn’t have Patience/Powerful Hook available (i.e., perhaps don’t fish without max GP)?

Thanks Lyfox. I am trying to increase my fishing level but I just started this game 4 days ago so I am still learning the best that I can about how to do grids and stuff for the bot to be able to assist with the actions needed. Any help would be appreciated by anyone. I wish there was already low level fishing scenarios created but seems they start at level 50 from what I have seen.

[LyfoxParticipant]

Yes this is what scenarios are for. Create a simple grid around your fishing spot then do this:

waypoint(0)
fish(30)
waypoint(1)
fish(30)
waypoint(2)
fish(30)

Is there a way to set it up where you can fish for a set number of casts then have it move automatically after a certain amount of time and recast and keep moving after so many quest and have it repeat those actions a lot of times? I’m asking because obviously with fishing you can only do it for about 30 minutes before you are unable to fish at that location any longer and must move. However, I only need to move 10 feet and can start casting again. So is there a way to do this? Thank you

[ApsuParticipant]

Ah, thank you. But, why does the fishing bot use the “switch to hotbar 4”? Do I have to set the fishing actions in hotbar 4?

The fishing bot works, but it keeps repeating this after casting: Uhoh. There’s no key bound to action ‘Switch to Hotbar 4’

I’ve put all of the actions on hotbar 1. Anyone have any idea what the issue is?

On the scenario page, would it be possible to be able to re-arrange the order of scenarios please? At the moment they’re listed in the way that they’re added and it doesn’t look great aesthetically to me. Would it also be possible to add sub-categories to scenarios so I could group my crafting ones together, my fishing ones and my gathering ones?

Yes, this feature is already planned in one of the upcoming QoL updates.

In the meantime, you can reorganize your scenarios by closing Miqobot and editing the presets.miqo file manually.
You can find the description of Miqobot file format in the General guide.

ninja update?

maybe it has already been asked. but after Kassatsu it will cast Ten -> Chi -> Mudra (Raiton). But at lvl 80. but it would be optimal if it would go Kassatsu -> Ten -> Jin -> mudra (Hyosho Ranryu)

Yes, only level 70 rotations are supported at the moment.
The combat system is in early beta and offers limited functionality. We are working towards endgame support and it will take a few more upgrades.
Thank you for your request!

Anyone have a good fishing preset for the relic grind?

[bottybotParticipant]

Has something changed in the Lyhe Chiah spearfishing grid because I went there to get chiaroglow aethersands (reduction from fish) and got a new fishing log entry for a new fish ‘Daisy turban’ but didn’t once get the required fish for the reduction to get chiaroglow.

Ignore me, don’t know if it was me or something went wrong with the bot but it had changed the gig head to small and it should have been large.

Are you sure miqo isnt using cordials/patience appropiately? From what I observed, she’ll wait till she’s near full GP, pop patience, then immediately use a cordial > go to town on fishing.

I’ve noticed that more often than not the bot doesn’t use Cordials and Patience for me. It simply moves into catching the next fish instantaneously (not enough time to even manually press the ability/cordial before moving on to the next).

Anyone else have been experiencing this? And or found workarounds?
