Bots in Zos Chivros
intimidator89
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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's even easier and faster if you have more Kurzick faction than Luxon: All you have to do is die, and you teleport directly to the shrine by the bridge.
I've used the signpost in Zos Shivros a few times, but I've never botted.

Thanks for the links guys. Surprising that google search works better than the actual pvx search....
3k faction an hour...I'd rather save the power and turn my comp off ^^

They could be farming Outcast staves.

Ive seen the n/mo's in there with random letter names and no guild tag walking sideways, sign tagging, and going through the portal.
The same ones are seen moments before in the marketplace going to their box, then to merchant, then appearing at zos. even saw a few get stuck under the stairs and just keep walking into the wall.
I'm sure there are a lot of perfectly good reasons why normal people would do this.. but if it looks, walks, and acts like a duck.. its a duck.

stood in America dis 1 today waiting for a mate...37 different botters all guildless N/Mo sideways to sign then same path up...then u see them return and do it all again.
like last poster said if it looks and acts like a duck its a duck...come on anet sort it out u ban a kid for using a tome in pre searing yet people afk botting with 2 3 accounts is allowed !! (some had same second names just different ast names pretty obvious its same person on alt account)

These guys are definitely bots. How can an International District have and endless stream of N/Mo's while the American District (which always has more people except in HA) has less people and no N/Mo's?
Only answer is . . . bots!

They dont need to avoid anything. If you are Kurzick you can just run to the first group of Kraken just outside Zos Chivos & let them kill you, since you are Kurzick & never have a possibility of Kurzicks owning Zos you will always spawn at the shrine just outside the area the assassins are...its waaayy faster than running there trying to avoid the Oni popups & last Kraken before the sins.

With the 20$ Guild Wars Trilogy, I bet there is an even more influx in bots. Nice -.-.

So the alcyon job quest is still farmable with a 55? Don't the luxon assassins knock you down?

they are not bots, try to talk to them, their English is bad but still good enough.

They are likely multiboxing. This is where you control many different characters at once from one client. They probably have scripts running to get them outside efficiently.
Infanta
By the way, is this quest worth farming for a normal person?
