I've been zoning into the International District of Zos Chivros using my frosty tonics and I see many N/Mo bots zoning in about every 2 minutes. What the heck can they be farming there?

AFK Luxon Faction Farming.

I think it's a healthy alternative to people botting JQ or FA, but it takes a long time to fill your faction bar.

It's a lot slower than FFF'ing and sadly you can't place on the ladder fast enough to make it worth placing on it (it would take several days of AFK).

No. That's not them. I noticed when I testing the build before I put it up. I think these ones run into the explorable area that I forget the name of. Perhaps it's the Halycon Job? I did ponder this myself.

i've seen them too on the american server and i think they're farming "the halcyon job" quest for dragon staff. they're going out the boreas seabed portal and they're always following the same path.

They have been doing that for years but they are actually not bots but asian farmers, talk to them if you need to buy unid armors.

meh. I'll stick with JQ so I at least know I'm still getting some fun out of it.

Enko · Jan 03, 2010, 01:22 AM // 01:22

halycon job is fairly easy to farm and usually gives out decent golds. couple of skins that drop there sell fairly decently too. I know Bo Staves drop there as well and with some good stats, those go for a lot.

I don't know. They have that same point to point running thing going on. They zone in, run directly to the sign. Then out the door. Normal players never touch the sign. Same as the bots did in Granite Citadel.

Anyone who needs a bot to AFK is truly the laziest of the lazy, lol.

I mean come on. It's AFK, lol. Also there's no drops that I'm aware of to farm in the challenge.

interesting thing is that those bots sell to the merchant in the marketplace. a friend of mine kept an eye there giving me names and 2 minutes later they spawned in zos, prolly how they keep somewhat under the radar.

Not even sure if its that easily bottable. The Granite Citadel mobs that were farmed were right outside the outpost. The route the Halcyon Job area has spawns that aren't always the same. When I used to farm that, I had to use a fairly different route every time to avoid the mobs all the way up.

Crap, now it's out.

Well, there's literally no reason to bot the AFK farm, so I doubt it's that. My guess is SV or SS Halcyon Job.

Not sure what farm you are referring to. Searched on pvx and couldn't find anything. Details please?

They been there forever, they are farming the quest with all the assassins. They been selling unid golds there for years. Thats where people get luxon garb for wisdom titles.

Then explain why you're leaking hydraulic fluid?

jonnieboi05 · Jan 03, 2010, 06:36 AM // 06:36

I tend to also follow a sign post when I am too lazy to manually control myself to the portal.

It's just more efficent when I only have one hand available. Kekekeke.
