They're learning. Growing. Evolving.


Most of the bots don't use galka for whatever reason, interesting to see a pack of them again.

Lately all the new ones have only been bsts and the occasional pack of thfs.

What did Galkapryme do to hold so much power over you? o_o;

Nothing seems out of the ordinary here. BSTs with a jug pet and a 119 axe has the lowest barrier for entry for fighting trash mobs. (You can do this with zero skill ups and have a formiddable 119 pet against trash mobs). THF is just great to have for TH, when farming. It's like you said, they're probably converting sparks/conquest points/whatever else they can get a hold of.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary here? Maybe they just got tired of looking at the same hume models over and over?

Bot runners have tells/patterns. Galka are few and under represented in bots and in general,

I just found it amusing to spot a pack of them. Aside from the gustaberg bots, only ever spotted a rare pack of htmb mnk galka spammers in the wild.
(Ambu v2 bots this month are also galka)

The demand will never go away.

So if you stop the sparks farmers, you just create an arms race that pushes up gil prices and that arms race eventually leads to account hacking. Considering how insanely easy to hack many XI players are with account sharing and downloading random stuff that's not a good idea.

The whole point of the STF isn't to stop RMT, it's to keep it dumb and happening in ways that don't cause big problems to normal players.

I would much prefer sparks botters than people spamming omen, unm, ambuscade or something that actually makes my play time more annoying.

Jesus Christ the galkabot invasion and they're all pumped out by one bst pling a new set endlessly


(Salvage bots aren't new, but that they're all galka, is)

Bst levels them up, they bot ambuscade for a week then bot salvage nonstop, bst makes a new set, they do ambuscade for a week then spam salvage nonstop. 5 batches of 5 sets of mnk galka bots

Long live the Galkas, may they be generous masters to you lowly species. But fear not, for race change is upon us, and you may all become glorious Galkas yourselves.

These galkas are the adults; maybe even our anchors to reality.

I always think something is off in this topic title.

Just now I figured: the words “galka” and “evolution” arent exactly a good match

Well "reincarnation of" wouldn't make much sense, though after the bump it could :)

Since the week reset, the conveyor belt of galkas warping behind the bastok market vendor counter next to sparks NPC will begin anew, can usually see hundreds of them after reset...
