So i was runnin around waiting for DF, and ran into a group of people spamming Blizzard II, all wearing the exact same gear. After the Spamming stops, one character at a time, transforms a crap ton of gear into materia.
My theory is, because its crafting gear, it's probably just registering the fact they are USING an ability, which is how the crafting gear gets bonded during crafting itself.
I dont know if this is an exploit, or working as is, these guys are obviously using a program to do this automatically, as i get no responce whatsoever, and i know the FC some of them are in are known for using third party programs.
Heres some SS's if itll allow me to do so\

I see you have your party over there geared and ready for Garuda Hard ;)
Might try if this "works" or not later. Doesn't seem impossible that it does. -

They must be hitting mobs that are spawning in that location. Just spamming Blizzard 2 does not increase spiritbond unless a mob dies and gives XP.

I don't know if its an exploit or not, but I've been doing it for a few days now. Getting a full party all wearing full crafting gear and just killing everything in sight spiritbonds crafting gear really fast.

isn't that the point of spirit bonding
this is not an exploit relax -

Well the hitting mobs may be correct, but hes using third party programs to do this. thats the biggest issue i have with this right now. He was completely unresponsive, and the players were on an obvious schedule, Blizzard 2 8 times, Medica, Blizzard 2 8 times, medica, repeat. repeat, erven if theres no mobs or damage they used medica right on the dot each time.

Looks a lot like the group of bots on here just 30 yards from that spot. Similar names and the exact same behaviours.

Bloody bots. Ban them.

There is a fate that spawns a bunch of mobs at that location, as well as a few regular mobs. I can think of a half dozen far better spots to bot spiritbonding, so no clue why they're wasting their time there.

This game is so full of bots, getting out of hand don't ya think SE?
I seriously wonder how many players got their crafts up to 50 the legal way. -

This ABSOLUTELY nothing compared to the fact that people are reading and changing the data sent from the client to the server. At the moment (is like this from day 1 to now) you can basically change the number of gils you have whit whatever number, or change whatever item you have whit whichever you want. And yeah... lets not forget the teleport hack people are using to teleport to the last boss of istance and get free points in 2 minute...
SE MUST act, is not acceptable this level of hacking from a mmo whit subscription! -

I noticed this on my server too, there was an arcanist running around frantically dragging all the Deepvoid Deathmouses within reach into the pile of people but otherwise the rest were standing completely still, spamming blizzard like they had unlimited mp because they would never pause. Sometimes the arcanist would die. It must be related to those mobs otherwise why do it in that particular spot on multiple servers.. I figured they were farming hides but I do not know the drops from those. I noticed it because of the odd sound of constantly spamming Blizzard got my attention.

10-15-2013, 09:42 PMNanahoWell if they spam blizzard three, they get Ice umbral III, which basically makes their MP pool unlimited.Quote:

You also have to remember that some people dual-box or run even more instances of the game and sometimes set something like this up to where he can have several characters on at once (with multiple accounts usually) and just press the pre-made macro on all the mages casting the blizzard II etc after he has gathered all the mobs together. Its not hard to run a few instances of this game at the same time, especially if you lower settings. I know of some who have done it in 1.0/2.0 to essentially quest 1-50 with 1 main character and more mainly on follow while in a party to get all exp from mobs and just cycle through the characters to complete quests at the same time giving multiples of the rewards.

10-17-2013, 03:02 AMLyeinKnew a guy that PvP'd in another game with three characters tied like that. He was notorious because his characters would burn anything down instantly because his attacks were so concentrated. But hey, if you're going to pay for 4 subscriptions...Quote:

You can spirit bond crafting gear in combat easily enough, it's actually the best way to do it.
Get a full set of the level 48 or (not sure if the 50 works) gear as it's "all classes" and just spam FATE until maxed. A damn sight cheaper too.
