Personally, I only use Miqo for fishing (which I hate doing manually), crafting in large batches, the 3d radar, and occasionally for running trusts for loot and stuff. If you’re used to doing most things manually (or at least have done them enough to know how to do them) then you’ll be fine, although big/tedious stuff might be more annoying than usual.
I just want to point out that on the multi-star level 80 crafts that I’ve done, with manipulation and innovation, on 2:1 chunks, I don’t think I’ve ever waited for even thirty seconds for the solver. I don’t know what options you’re using, but taking over an hour suggests that not only are you probably using options you really don’t need (waste not triples solver time and only gives an average 0.5% improvement) but also you may be doing lots of other high-CPU tasks at the same time. It might be worth pulling up task manager and checking the performance tab to see what your CPU usage graph looks like before you start crafting; maybe you can shut down or pause some tasks to give Miqo more power to work with.
Personally, I created a list of all fish that aren’t used for anything, based on the GamerEscape wiki pages for them – including quests – so that I can clear out the crap and then manually decide on the rest. Since I grind fishing in Diadem a lot to get hi-cordials, I also have a list that’s only the Diadem fish. But if I just want everything in my inventory gone, I use the vowel method, since every single (english) item name in the game has at least one vowel in it.
Phase two says it:
Squadron Dungeons and Trust Dungeons are supported up to level 80. Revamped combat rotations are not supported. Sage and Reaper jobs are not supported. Assist Mode usage is very limited.
At that point, it’s expected to be technically functional without the new actions yet. From there, it’ll slowly be expanded into the new content.
I have a question for possibly the Miqobot team and possibly other users, depending on who might know: if I’m using the virtual desktops feature of windows (win+tab, you can make new “virtual” desktops that contain their own sets of windows) and have FFXIV on one but I’m on a different one, does the cursor moving still interfere?
The XIVLauncher plugin “Peeping Tom” can play a sound (and highlight, and even log names) whenever someone targets you. IIRC, you can set any sound file you want as the notification noise. XIVChat (a combined plugin for the launcher and external application, windows or android) can display and even send chat from outside the game. It’s basically a second, external, and frankly much better entire chat interface. You can create an arbitrary number of tabs and set filters for each of them, so you can see just whatever categories of messages matter to you for monitoring, regardless of your in-game chat tab filters. You can even set up desktop notifications for alert phrases like your name.
I mean, I basically told OP to use some basic (actual) money-laundering practices for the gil involved in the RMT that they’re talking about in their first post, and I didn’t think much of it but honestly suggesting that someone become An Actual Money Launderer in fuckin Final Fantasy Fourteen Online is pretty funny now that they mentioned it
Someone else recently posted their own thread about this exact thing, although they didn’t ask anyone for help like you did. You can see in the replies though what exactly the community tends to think about this sort of thing, and about calling it a “scam” too.
More relevantly, I’m pretty sure that mogstation items are all non-tradable, which means you’d have to send someone a gift code for it. That would come across as a bit more suspicious – someone registers a gift code for an item, and then suddenly trades or mails a bunch of gil to someone they’ve never met? I don’t know if SE is logging things in that level of detail or if they’re looking through the logs with that level of paranoia, but it’s something to consider.
At its core, what you’re doing here is RMT, which is a bit more significant than botting. There’s going to be greater risk, and if SE finds out, there will be official consequences for everyone involved.
Have you considered maybe at least adding some kind of in-game service as a cover that you can slightly overcharge for? If you’ve got high-level crafters or gatherers, that’s a simple enough option, particularly when gathering might be tedious enough for someone to pay another person for it. Alternatively, hunting mobs for drops is another possibility. Basic money laundering, you know?
I’ve looked for the same thing, and as far as I can tell, there are two options. One is to manually select the materials first before telling Miqo to craft – she won’t change the item selections unless something runs out of the quality you selected, so she’ll just use things in whatever ratio you set up for as long as that’s possible. Obviously, this only works if you’re manually starting the craft.
The other is to use a scenario, where there’s a command to set the NQ:HQ ratios for each ingredient of the craft, as well as one to start crafting a certain number of items. There’s even one to set the crafting recipe, and the one to start crafting has a way to indicate “just craft until you can’t” instead of a number, so this could be used for fully automated crafting following gathering. OTOH, you’d need to set it up for each thing you want to craft.
GS minigames depend on your FPS.
Let me say that again.
GS minigames DEPEND on your FPS.
You can uncap your framerate (always a good idea for this) and disable the automatic limiter when the client is inactive (and that’s pretty much required for background farming) but doing other things means that your system is also trying to render those things at the same time. That will slow down the rendering of FFXIV. If you’re trying to watch a movie or play another game, your GPU’s pulling double duty rendering both FFXIV and that other thing, and the framerate for both will be lower than doing just one. EVERYTHING requires your system to render what’s going on, even just reading in a web browser.
In short, doing anything while also background farming MGP means that your FFXIV framerate will be lower. Whether it’s by enough to matter depends on a number of factors, including your specs and what else you’re doing. This is unavoidable without using a second, fully separate machine for doing other tasks.
