This scenario is massively inefficient compared to lazy manual farming. The biggest culprit is the insane inefficiency of GP. Doing a 0 gp rotation is practically worthless because it’s extremely rare to reach high enough purity to get aethersands, and there’s no efficient way of doing cordials or gp management (as far as I’m aware) with the bot because there’s no function to check GP and do things conditionally based on it. There was a few other things that contributed to it being terrible that I fixed but it’s still hardly worth using.
There are limitations to the bot, and I doubt it will ever emulate the efficiency of a player. Then again it’s an automated tool doing tasks for you while you don’t even have to be at your computer.
This scenario is perfectly functional, but as you discovered you have to tweak it to suit your own tastes. I’d use these as baselines if you’re not willing to create your own from scratch and make the one you like.
Some tips if you’re only interested in 8/8 rotations for sands:
make the bot gather emphereal node 8/8
gather touch 2 nodes
waypoint(xx)
cordial
afkfor(cordial cd / regen time)
loop until time of next nodewith some tweaking you can get 8/8 scenario with certain time of cordial to just gather yourself 8/8 or any time of things you’d like

I completely understand, but being unable to manage GP in any decent way really hurts ephemerals in particular because unlike regular nodes, you don’t get shit with zero/low gp, and unlike unspoileds, you get multiple uses of the node per window so you don’t naturally end up with enough GP per window like you normally would.

What do you mean with GP management? I find that adding a cordial use after each gather attempt generally keeps my GP up to do a full rotation a few times per window. Not sure how much better that can get. Not really sure you CAN even do better than that manually collecting the items yourself. Also, doing 0GP rotations is totally worth it for a lot of us, crystals/clusters are extremely useful for crafting, and if anything, you can always dump them on the mb.
You say you made it better, care to share with the rest of the class?
Has anyone had any luck running this over night? 7-8 hours?
Yeah, Chapter 1 and 2 seem to get stuck a lot either on rocks or on random junk. I ended up disabling those so as to just keep gathering the btn/mnr exclusive sands.

Sorry about that! The culprit is Chapter 2 where the line teleportIf(Fanow) should just be teleport(Fanow). TeleportIF command will not force teleport because you are already in the Greatwood and can result in the bot trying to run over to the chapter 3 aethersand area instead of teleporting in and approaching as intended. Depending on where you are when the bot attempts to relocate you might get stuck. This was a mistake.
I suggest changing the command line in chapter 2 to teleport(Fanow) and saving. This should fix the issue. I have run the bot for many hours at a time without issue, tho nothing is 100% foolproof I can say it will run without incident 99.9% of the time.
Here is the most up to date Scenario that I have been using. It contains some minor tweaks to pathing on some grids to reduce problems in a couple of chapters near rocks to avoid getting stuck. It also has the chapter 2 teleport error corrected as well as the addition of the line that forces Cordial/Hi-Cordial after gathering.
The cordial/hi-cordial hotkey is currently Bar 3 slot 12. You can change this is you have a different hotkey by modifying the line icon(3, 12, 2.5) where the first number is the hotbar, 2nd number is the slot, then save. Just place your cordial/hi-cordial in the appropriate slot and Miqo will use it on cooldown. There is currently no way to use cordials intelligently so some GP will be wasted but overall it is still a massive gain.
Overall it is about as good as I can make it and have tested for 10+ hours nonstop without issue.
Enjoy!

No that is not the issue I had. I did notice the bug you’re talking about tho, and I fixed it doing the same thing you did, removed (if) from that line. However the bot was constantly getting stuck on one of the rocks that’s near one of the nodes. No big deal tho, like I said I ended up skipping those chapters and Just having the bot afk. I supposed it could be fixed by moving the waypoints but I just wasnt that interested in that type of sand xD
Thank you for the update!! I’ll try and run it tonight 🙂
