    And just to clarify: One of the reasons trial isn’t working right now is because there were some douchebags reverse-engineering the Miqobot trial to get unlimited Miqobot access without paying.

    To your goal of getting the gathering/crafting achievements: Miqobot is perfect for that. For example, let’s say you wanna get the Reaping Stormblood (Gather 5,000 times from level 61-70 mature trees or lush vegetation) achievement. You simply download the Zelkova Log gathering grid from Lyfox in the Index: Gathering Grids thread, go to Miqobot, share->import, import the grid you downloaded, select Zelkova logs in the gathering tab, go to the Zelkova logs area and hit start + watch Netflix for 8 or so hours for a few days with system sounds out of game activated (just to react to tells).
    Simple as that and you’ll make a buck at the same time selling those zelkova logs later.

    While most Endgame macros require crafting tea with crafting food from a time perspective the Macros are faster.

    I didn’t use any crafting food and crafting tea for this video. If I used crafting food and tea, I could simply have removed MaMa and let Miqo do it with muscle memory and still get my 100% HQ craft in no time.

    Gonna make another vid just for the sake of proof this evening.

    Even the best macros in the world < Miqobot crafting solver. Period.

    You always have to keep in mind, that crafting rotations and macros are stiff. They work, yes, but they are pretty much set in stone, whereas Miqobot has an algorithm behind it, that takes every possible outcome of every step for the whole crafting process based on your stats into account and calculates the ideal rotation and reacts to every proc or fail planned ahead.

    And fyi: Big parts and most technical stuff of this crafting/gathering guide was written based on data from Miqobot 😛

    One.

    I use Miqo for my normal gameplay. When I prepare for raiding for example I let Miqo farm Duskglow and Pot mats as well as Buff Food mats for 1 day while watching series on amazon prime. When a new patch launches I use Miqo to farm the new mats for the new crafted gear and I used Miqo to level all my jobs to 70.

    Usually I use Miqo like maybe 10 days of a month in total on average.

    Some jobs have high level support but not drg.

    Which is kinda weird, since from all jobs DRG is the most static job with little the least skill-variation of any possible job.

    Well, I made a video for you, to show you, how good Miqo is:

    As you can see, all NQ mats, no HQ mats and still successful. However I would not recommend doing that with only NQ mats and do it with some HQ mats as you’ve stated, since usually with only NQ mats you’ll get something between 80-100% on average, while with a few HQ mats it should always be 100% HQ. Also, for this video I’ve cranked the options for huge success (Ingenuity+Manipulation toggled, Maker’s Mark equipped and 4:1 CP), which is why it took around 6 minutes to calculate until the crafting process started. With some HQ mats you won’t need to crank it up to 4:1, but can safely do it at 8:1

    I’ve wanted an automated way to reorder/sort presets myself and wrote a small command line tool that does it for me.
    Simply extract and run it in the same folder where Miqobot resides.

    Tried it. Getting an error message:

    Found presets file!
    Error:
    Unknown preset “desynthpreset”.

    My prophetic guesses would be:

    1. Within a week or so the following systems will be completely usable: Gold Saucer, 3D-Radar (including PotD and HoH), Scenarios
    2. Also on that initial fix-release crafting and gathering will be sporadically working (this means, old actions will most likely be usable if SE doesn’t change too much, but new crafting and gathering actions + new recipes and nodes will only partially work, if at all
    3. Crafting and gathering will be completely done within the first month or so. Combat as well, up to the level, Miqo has already finished, if not too many combat actions have changed
    4. New systems and new combat stuff will be done within a few months (maybe 3-4 months)

    However this is all speculation, based on how it worked last time when Stormblood launched.

    Stormblood Early Access started on the 16th of June 2017.
    Miqobots most basic core functions were recovered on the 21st of June 2017,so 5 days later.

    Unlike Greed Enix every single day of Miqobot downtime extends your Miqobot license by 1 day unlike FFXIV where you might get 1 day extension, when the game is down for a week or so, but only if you’re lucky.

    But Miqo has the tools built in to make you look less suspicious. AFK timers, switching games, walk around/switch which game you’re standing at. Standing at the same game for hours when you’re alone is way more obvious than when there are many people around.

    All of that was set up. I even increased the afk timers from default and yet, I still got reported and banned for 3 days back then. It doesn’t matter how great a bot is. If you leave it unattended, the risk of getting reported + getting a ban is always there and the more players there are, the higher the risk of getting reported. Period. You don’t “go under in the mass of players”.

    Honestly I disagree. With the sheer number of people in the GS I just blend right in. I’ve been botting harder than ever during the event. There are tons of people in front of Out On A Limb.

    Thing is the chance of you getting reported for standing there for a long period of time without ever doing something else is also higher the more players there are.

    This. And I am the living proof for it, that I’m right.

    In 3 years of using Miqobot I only have gotten a single 3-day ban. And this was precisely during the Make It Rain event, where the amount of players standing on “Out On A Limb” was the highest – even higher than now with the FFXV event.

    And that’s just a single week! Did they hit someone here?

    Most likely not.

    Those banwaves come all the time and usually screen out the hordes of hack bots. Those are mostly from some Chinese RMT companies making massive amounts of accounts, naming their characters something like “Tsaldfjhgsdx Laskdjfh” and using dirty hack bots that inject code into the game, so they teleport around the area and kill enemies from inside walls to quickly complete the Main Story and make gil that way.
    Those get banned extremely fast and as stated many times before: Those work mostly only via game codes bought with credit card fraud.

    I made a Discord a while ago, but activity on it was kinda inconsistent and it was too troublesome to watch it all the time, so I’ve transfered admin to Lyfox and no idea what happened with the discord server afterwards

    Ok so i want the bot but i am scared that ill get banned or something can you tell me if i can get banned for using this ah and i use steam launcher i need to use it with out it to used or not??

    Since I already had a bad experience while botting with Miqobot and I am still a loyal subscriber to it, I often like to show myself as an example of what could go wrong, when you ignore all the warnings.

    I got banned once, because I was botting Gold Saucer Minigames for 7 days straight during the Make it rain event, without supervising FFXIV in any kind of way. The ban I got was a 3 day ban and that’s it. Could play again afterwards. Apparently the ban wasn’t even saved as a severe ban, because I got another 3 day ban half a year later for exploiting the Ungarmax bug in raids (usually after a 3 day ban you get a 7 day ban).

    So if you just follow the basic safety rules Miqobot is telling you about, I can assure you, that you will not get banned and Miqobot is as safe as it gets. It’ll enhance your gaming experience a lot and you will have nothing to worry about.

    I like the direction and Features this bot offers, but I don’t want to spend money on something I can’t feasibly try 1st, I want to watch the character movements and fluidity of actions to base my own judgement of whether it looks and acts like a real player

    That is reasonable.

    an example I’ll use is when two gathering nodes are close together a normal player will NOT mount up to walk a few inches just to unmount and gather again

    This completely depends on the grids that are made by the community. Miqobot does not work with completely autonomously-integrated and clunky gathering routes, like many bots do. It relies completely on gathering routes that are made by other players and are released here within the community.
    Things like mount or unmount are completely determined by the grid creator for every single grid-waypoint and I dare to say, that the community made grids got up to a pretty damn good standard over the years. Those grids look pretty natural and they engage in natural player behaviour (like e.g. just clicking a node just to trigger it for unspoiled nodes to appear, but not mine anything, because it’s useless).

    nor will a player dismount waaaay above the node to cause themselves damage to get to the two close together Nodes

    This doesn’t work in Final Fantasy XIV. When you try to unmount in the air, your mount lowers down to the ground automatically and then, when you’re on ground level you will dismount. However most community grids don’t do this. Instead they land your mount in a natural way, right in front of the node.
    Grids are made via recorded player movement and waypoint adjustment anyway.
