Something strange is afoot.

Those bots are actually teleporting around doing mainstory quests, I followed one bot from Ul`dah all they way to Costa de sol (Titan I assume), reported it when If first saw it and just followed a mainstory guide to figure out which NPC it would be talking to and which mobs it would be killing.

Fun Fact, if the bot attacks a mob and you send it a trade request it bugs their AI and they just stand there and die. After it dies it teleports back to the point it died to try and complete the quest again.

Also when the quest requires the bot to level up they gather in swarms and start attacking mobs in one area, managed to report a whole lot of them just by following that one bot around.

Bots seem to prefer black mages, although I saw some arcanist bots south of Quarrymil killing Rats.

It was actually pretty funny to watch, since the bot was using some hack that made his character sink in the ground so all you saw was his mage hat clipping slightly out of the ground.


But yeah if you want to see some weird bots go to Western Thanalan (27, 7) in front of copperbell, that is where they usually stop in swarms to level.
