Harving Days are Here Again

A k of energy essies, a couple k of potions...

Other than that, spent yesterday harving various plants and ores and minerals. Some because of planned future projects, others simply because my stock was low, heh.

Was busy with other stuff, so it was afk-harv to the rescue!

Seriously, used to have a nice stock of most everything, that's gone down the tubes during long bouts of power-leveling alch and potion. Really doesn't take long, esp. when it comes to extract flowers and such.

Would really like just one week to drop everything I'm doing (er, in-game) and just harv like mad, stocking 10-20k minimum of everything I use a lot of. OMG, hoarding flowers!!!



Meanwhile, also contemplating the meaning of these rules for bots:
5. Bots that serve their master in a way such as muling are illegal (see the rules for multiplaying)
6. Bots cannot be stationed in range of harvestable items. They must be far enough way so that they cannot harvest from where they are standing.

Like, skirting these rules to treat a trade bot as a "protected" bag, and resupplier when harving at only a few steps away from the bot. I'm thinking the intention of these rules is being violated and skirted due to bad or lack of wording in them. Rule 5 mentions muling, but that's "such as", meaning there's other ways bots could be abused to "serve their master". Pretty sure I've found an example in-game of someone doing just that...

...and if it's not a rule violation, it should be. Trade bots should be for trade, not used as an alt to assist in harvesting. The difference between this and keeping an alt nearby sitting on a stock bag is nothing, and that's not what trade bots were meant for.
