I may look into that. Thanks again for your advice on it. With some characters they have full hunting retainers, so I may just have to stick with manually doing dungeons with them. But even if it’s just the ones with gathering, that alleviates more than 2/3rds of the work and allows me to do other things on a different account or just watch a movie / play a single player game in the background.
It may take me a while since I don’t have flying unlocked on every character. Half of them don’t even have Stormblood complete and were leveled to 70 through roulette (though they’re around 65+ in story quests as I do them when I have nothing else to do — and needed them to level the gathering jobs via levequests). So it will just be something I make a note of for when that’s all squared away and I if still have a need of seals.

Thank you for the reply and suggestion Lyfox,
It’s a good idea that I didn’t think of, but after trying it (well, personally doing it myself to see how fast it could be done as a human) I ultimately concluded that Haukke Manor HM doesn’t suit my needs.
The reason why is because time-wise I’m already pushing the boundaries of The Vault, even with how efficient I’ve become with it doing it hundreds of times a week, and I’m still not getting enough seals and ventures to support everything with the time I have to play.
Haukke Manor HM has a lot of things working against it:
The first boss only gives one item (and it is, as you mentioned, less than half (350 vs 817 roughly) the seals a single one gives from Vault)
The chests give very few, if any, green items per run (I only got two from the last room before the final boss)
There is no bonus item drop that Heavensward and above gives, and the final boss only gives two (versus potentially 4 in Vault) items, again at less than half price.
It takes the same time for me to finish Haukke HM as it does The Vault with how efficient I’ve become with it — 8-9 minutes on each character that I run it.
In total, the outcome looks like this:
Haukke Manor 9 minute run: 2,100 Seals
The Vault 8-9 Minute run: 8,000-11,000 depending on chest luck.
——————-
If the scenario could also trade in all items for Haukke Manor and automatically requeue for it, and I was comfortable with going to sleep while doing it, then it might work well for me. Though even then if I only did that, it wouldn’t give as much as running the Vault on my own time.
FFXIV is a guilty pleasure of sorts, so I have several Legacy Accounts, two with max retainers and characters. Haukke Manor as it stands will barely support a couple of characters as 2,100 is 10 ventures, or a single hour on a single characters versus getting 5-6 hours per Vault, for the same time spent. It takes a whole day of doing Vault to get 500+ ventures for each character to be used over a week and a half or so, and Haukke will just make that five days (which, at that point, I’ve lost at least 4 days of crafting / playing / doing other things).
In the end, I have about 2-5 thousand of each material in the game at the moment. So that might last me a few months at least. It may be prudent for me just to stick with what I’m doing and wait until Stormblood is Soloable next expansion to really pick things up again and increase productivity by myself. Just had a weak moment where I felt like I couldn’t be arsed to do Vault for another day and was looking at my options since I’m working myself a bit hard.
Thanks again for your response!
To add to the above:
I’m currently on the trial, so contact me on here if you’re interested. I’ll reconfirm if I still want the scenario and we can discuss price or whatever we decide on. If I decide not to stick with Miqobot, then I may not be interested anymore. The unsync’d solo dungeon runs are the only reason for me to have a bot, as I don’t need gathering or anything.
Also, and just as a heads up if we do go ahead with it, it would be nice to see a video of it functioning before paying.
Thanks again.
