    Are people at banemites actually people?

    The reaction time is almost immediate. Can you get that good? I'm just wondering, cause if yes, the dedication put into it is admirable, to be able to stand there for hours and only kill one monster (yes, one, not even running around to kill the others)

    A friend of mine likes to sit at banemites for hours. He gets really rich. He also mentioned there might have been some robotic players out there.

    the spawn places are kinda always the same and the spawn interval is very reliable. Try farming them for 10 minutes and you'll see.

    This. It's not particularly hard once you know the patterns.

    You have no bloody idea how glad I am to be out of the Diremite web phase of Weaver now.

    I've certainly seen bots at the banemites, but there's also being farmed to by very real players too for very real reasons.

    Honestly the devs need to add more mob spawn locations for certain key craft materials (ie. boar hide, diremite web, toad hide) because right now supply cannot come close to demand with so few spawn locations. I personally got super lucky/savvy, in that on balmund someone was selling a stack of 99 dew thread for like 1/3 the going price (No doubt a hold-over from a legacy character), but nobody was buying it because they didn't want 45,000g worth of thread.

    So I dropped the 45,000g on it, and sold off 1/3 the stack for the going rate (effectively covering the cost of buying it) leaving me with 2/3 of a stack of dew web with which to fill my velveteen/dew thread needs essentially for free

    I'm there now and prematurely crying before I've even really dug into them. I'm trying to stay on Flax as long as I can to level, beyond the obvious filling my crafting log, because at least with Flax I can gather my own ingredients with Botany without competition.

    i did the same thing with toads. once you know the spawn locations and patterns it's easy to farm them for hours.
