Remora's 10 Most Wanted Bots of February 2007

Update: The STFU strikes, and some big names that were previously on the most wanted are gone. The digbot/fishbot of Coty is gone, and has not been seen since the latest STFU hit. The bots inside Castle O and Kuftal Tunnel are MIA as well, and several bots up in sky are gone as well.

But the STFU hasn't hit them all yet, and several big names still remain. This is why this FFXI server has our own top 10 most wanted list for the STFU to give the banstick to.

The February 2007 Most Wanted List:

1. Batallia Fish Bots. Too many to name names, but the recent YouTube post shows some of them. While some of them (most notably Coty) were 86'ed, there are dozens more still fishing off the shore near Jeuno. These bots fish for items to desynth (silver rings, mythril swords), and craft Rusty Greatswords into Greatswords. This has led to Silver and Mythril Ingots staying at high prices, and high prices for Light and Lightning Crystals (when compared to other crystals). Everything else aside from the Black Sole is sold to the NPC vendor, usually at huge profits. It is common to see 50-75 bots out at any given time.

2. Sphagnum. Until the fatigue system was introduced for Chocobo Digging, she was one of the notorious 24-7 "digbots" that usually targeted Rolanberry Fields. Since then, she has been building an army of digmules, with two of them known to be Phagnum and Phaagnumjon. With this, she has been working on gaining the upper hand on the Gold Ingot price history, thanks to high goldsmithing skill. While she does not dominate the Orich. Ore industry, she will do anything to drive up the cost of leveling goldsmithing. With her past behavior of acting suspicious, she won't stop at anything to make her quotas.

3. Cwbprincess and Zqlcwb. This duo has been owning goobbues in Zi'Tah since they moved from the Asura server in June 2005. Both also have Rank 10 and sky access, but you will never see them up there going against gods. Cwbprincess has at least 2 level 70 jobs and another one in the 50s, and both have NPC fellows. All these two do is to collect tree cuttings and boyahda moss and both occasionally trade the items to mules that do the selling on the Auction House in Jeuno. If tree cuttings don't move for some reason, both have high woodworking skills to fall back upon, usually crafting ammo and shiheis.

4. Lgk. One of the few shihei bots still intact on the server, Lgk has escape the STFU despite her blantant actions. While her profits are not like they used to be, shiheis still have a very high turnover, and she will make trips to the city that is first in conquest to bundle them into toolbags. Her woodworking skills is rumored to be very high, but she will not craft anything but shiheis, bast parchment, and black ink. Every now and then, Lgk will craft bolts but they do not dominate her AH history.

5. The "WZ" crew. While most gilseller groups that party together have been 86'ed, the WZ crew has been left intact. All of them have COP and ToAU access, and as a result they dominate the Iolites and some of the drops in ToAU zones. One of their mules is known as Contai. The majority of the WZ crew have high level beastmaster jobs, but all have another level 75 job though rarely used. Every now and then, Kaoriben and Haefo will assist them with BCNMs using Kindred Seals.

6. Efoor's crew. The Wamoura/Troll/Dragon/Big Bomb farming group in Halvung (all also mine as well) is notorious for a pair of price history dominations: Bomb Ash and Rainbow Thread (even though her crew seldom lists stuff on the AH). One of her cronies has high level clothcrafting. She is accompanied by Hdjeuchi, Nhojj, and Ridzmouy. This group seldom camps the NMs in ToAU zones, opting for crafting consumables instead.

7. Uvcool. Prior to ToAU, he was known to spend long hours in Boyahda farming spiders and goobbues to meet his quotas. Since then, he has moved into Baileys and Onzozo for other high-demand drops, usually in the form of Ahirman Wings and Cockatrice Meat. With an high level beastmaster job, he often lets the pets do the dirty work for him. Occasionally he can be seen in Korrokola for jellies. He rarely camps NMs even though he is in zones where they are never camped.

8. Acess's crew. In the past, Acess would bot sky and ground HNMs. While Acess still does it with her companions, she spends the spare time in Arrapago Reef with Bclaoc, Gimycrue, Lizange, and Witchgirl. They camp the NM in the zone for Templar Mace and Exorcist Hose. They also farm the true hearing Anticans in Quicksands for their Darksteel Ores, and Marids for the Hair.

9. Similus's Crew. This crew is the most active sky botting crew still left on the server. They camp pop items 24-7, then pop the gods with other RMT groups. Similus is often accompanied by Jimmyfire.

10. Faustus. This is another bot that helps other RMT to bot mobs in Sea Serpent Grotto, Quicksands, Kuftal, and most ground and sky HNMs. He is often accompanied by Flyindance, Listoby, Laomao, Kyrali, and Fenkly.
