I wish to add my two cents here. I have been using MB for almost a year now? I love Miqo. one thing i think we need to remember is that not everyone has the same play style. some people have different goals when playing. I can only testify to my goals and my experiences. Miqo has become an indispensable tool. Sure i can live without it in some cases but if i need a LOT of a certain material. Miqo is often the only one i can turn to, to preserve my sanity. Miqo can handle a large portion of the monotonous things in the game and for that i greatly appreciate it. All of Miqos features are important to me.
Miqo’s crafting solver is an indispensable tool to me. And in its current state can still level my crafts to 80. however i can see that the solver is overwhelmed and could use optimization.
Squadron dungeons, can effectively get you to 70 and slowly to 80 but i would definitely like to develop the trust system. I wont touch it without miqo support.
Gathering i am fairly sure is in a good place.
Gold saucer – i havent messed with chocobos in a while but the minigames are money. miqo is the only one i have seen that can do the good ones well.
the biggest feature though and one that i dont think is appreciated enough is Miqos subtlety. Miqo is really hard to detect. i recently discovered the other popular product and gave it a trial. its pitiful in comparison. while its price point is half that of miqos, you can expect a ban forthcoming. it is true, you get what you pay for and miqo is the right choice.

45-50 Feasting the Night Away – HQ Hell’s Kitchen x 11so a couple of things to check. Obviously the first is your gear, if you are still using gear under lvl 50 here you are wrong. Even some of the sub ilvl 100 gear is not recommended. the lvl 51 gear bought from ishgard will be fine. alternatively you could buy the ironworks set for poetics if you dont want to spend gil.
Next is your FPS settings, there is a check box that caps your FPS to 30 if your game client is not in focus. Im pretty sure its in system configuration on the main menu for the game. Uncheck limit FPS when not in focus and miqo will react better when at work. The thing about this is you’ll need a fairly good video card. I personally do not have a good video card so i keep the game in focus and use another computer when miqo is doing her magic.
I am having a bit of an issue with Miqo 3.23. I am not sure if its caused by activating assist or simply running Miqo. Miqo seems to be moving the cursor way out of the way often to the left, often causing me to leave focus of ff14. It is most easily reproduced simply by using character inspection and trying to rotate your character. You will see your character spin out of control and very rapidly.
Using Miqo for almost a year now and im just now feeling comfortable making grids and Scenes. Since yours seemed one that would be difficult for me to muck up, I made one for you.
I used a ingame user macro to help target the relevant NPCs since you may have a crowded server and will not want to accidentally target a player.
Set the macro to Hotbar 9 slot 9Macro commands should be:
/macroicon “Mage’s Ballad”
/tnpcI added lots of comments so you can look it over and see what Miqo is doing and why to make it easier to adjust if required.
Ive have a Steam version of the game and occasionally launch through steam. I usually dont mainly because i often like to run multiple steam games and steam doesnt like that usually. Steam is a little forgiving with some of the games in my library but the only games i have ever seen use the VAC anti-cheat engine are Valve games and many of the free to play online games. Games such as counterstrike, Dota, Dota2 for example. From what i can tell, Valve does not require publishers to use their anti cheat service for online games. I personally have a LOT of online games in my library and have used multiple hacks and cheat tools and have never been VAC banned in the life of my account. for the record i have had steam for a little over 12 years. Now that is not to say that square enix may elect to use the VAC system though it would be very doubtful since the integration would require significant re-coding of both their serverside and client side software. Given that there are still weaknesses present from FF14 1.0 and issues that exist since day one (gil sellers and adverts) i HIGHLY doubt SE would implement the VAC system. Here is my reasoning for this:
1. in the launcher you can see a posted report of the number of allegedly permanently banned and suspended account.
2. Gilsellers have existed for the game since launch and still frequent in numbers.Now from that information there are a number of things you can speculate from this. Square enix is lying and fabricating the number of accounts banned. Square enix has truly banned those accounts and has profited from the sale of those licenses. Or square enix actively supports and profits from gilseller activities and behaves in a plausible deniability fashion.
In all of those situations it would detrimental to profits for square enix to adopt a new anti cheat system. If you have played this game for any reasonable amount of time you would know that profits come WAY before anything to do with the game.
here are a handful of systems SE has implemented to increase profits to the ire of players.
Mogstation services.
Weekly reward restrictions
Significantly reduced GM staff.
Offer limited edition in game items for purchase indefinitely.TL;DR: This change will largely only affect your steam playtime count, and help integrate in game item purchases though steam store.
Miqo, I love you. I have been using you for a good two months now with these updates. Couple issues i have seen is Miqo seems to die pretty often to frost breath on stone vigil. A little better positioning and it would improve efficiency greatly. Combat assist is great, I can say i use it a LOT, simply as if Miqo is a copilot. Having a little more control over her there would be great. I know higher squads are coming and i am looking forward to them eagerly. the integration in the scenario engine is amazing, I am not sure if this is a thing or not, but i would like to have a conditional branching in the scenario engine. perfect example is the city squads grinding scenarios out there, afford the ability to run squads and use the gear acquired within to reduce the cost of the seals. these scenes however you have to specify which dungeon you want miqo to grind. with a conditional branch i could have miqo make that choice easily eg. level >31 go to chapter X, within chapter X would be another check if level > 40 got to chapter Y chapter x and y would have brayflox and vigil respectively. would be great to have it in gathering scenarios too.
Anyway worst thing i have really seen is Miqo has a lot of trouble avoiding frost breath in vigil, and frequently kills her.
This is gonna sound silly, but you might wanna test your ram. I had a similar situation, and whenever i set miqo to run command missions as soon as i got in, crash. I was like ok w/e ill try something else. everything was good for a few days then suddenly i started getting BSODs up until the point where it corrupted my Filesystem completely. Turned out i had a bad stick of ram which by the time i decided to test it, racked up 480000 errors. swapped out the stick the next day, reeinstalled windows, and everything was good again.
now the likelihood that your problem lies in your ram is slim, however it does sound like there is some data corruption involved. crashes that produce DX errors usually come from a bad video card, bad video card drivers (corruption) bad DX files (corruption) bad ff14 dx references (corruption). A bad stick of ram is like cancer, it can get worse and worse so it can start in one set of addresses and spread on and on until you replace it and have to do percussive maintenance.
Well here are my two cents. After not using miqo since oct i renewed. Not miqos fault, i just wanted to play other things. Anyway, the new features are simply incredible. right around where eureka anemos was launched i spent about an hour there turned tail and noped it. Now after being dragged there by my FC, having miqo by my side has made it quite tolerable. I look forward to see how she grows from here.
If it took lyfox 100 runs to bang out 70, on SV, you could probably cut that number in half running more level appropriate with miqo on assist. Maybe even more than half. 50 runs on squad is a lot quicker and easier with you drving and miqo on guns. so to speak.
So i have been using Miqo on and off for almost a year now. It has been a little bit since i used it but I will likely buy another lic once this patch is done being deployed. Never had any problems and is simply a awesome tool. I Love it to death. If i could take it out on a date I would. But sadly this whole thing feels like a soccer mom at a restaurant complaining that the server didnt smile at here and would like her dining for free. I am struggling to not be disrespectful, but you knew the risks, if indeed something didnt go right. You took a gamble and you may have lost. The thing is this is not a casino, nor is it a food chain. This community does not owe you anything and the “Customer is always right” does not really apply here.
Think of it like this. Lets say Miqo was a “dealer of substances”. You know your local laws prohibit these substances but you want to try it out anyway. You need a fix, an escape, something to break the monotony, whatever. You get your goods, and you drive off, take a quick hit and suddenly Red and blue!!! you keep it cool but alas the rookie on the beat makes you spend the night. couple weeks later after dealing with all the legal troubles, you go back to your dealer and say “man you said this stuff wouldnt mess me up so bad they could tell…” I want a REFUND. What exactly do you think a dealer would say/do? Im sure you have seen enough movies to know a rough idea how that would play out. Lucky for you this is not that kind of situation. Furthermore I think this community has given you more attention than you deserve. Now with that in mind, please kindly purchase a lic, or write your own bot.
