So I downloaded and ran the fatebot today and these are some notes and observations I jotted down as I watched it work for about 6-7 hours. I tried to be a through as I could with coords and zones and I don't know if any of this will help, but I've included logs where I could. Please let me know if this is the kind of information you want or how you'd like it better refined in the future. I'm happy to help and excited about the new features. Great job so far. I'll write another note log as I keep playing with it.

- South Thanalan: Seems to always stop around coords 17, 21 and kill Amali'aa Enemies and Beacons even though they are not part of a fate.
- Does not do fates in any particular order. ex: Bot will run clear across the map to snag a fate instead of doing one that is right next to the previous one.
- On escort quests when it follows the objective character it follows so closely it jerks a lot and looks suspicious. I've noticed it does this on moving mobs as well. I take it the bot is updating the object's new position every second or so and recalculating/rerouting accordingly.
- Would really love to see the incorporation of buffs to Kupo routines for more efficient killing.
- Perhaps it's not specifically that it stops to kill enemies, but almost like if it draws agro while mounted it will dismount and confront the enemy before continuing on. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation on behavior I'd rather it not do.
- Man, it REALLY hates beacons lol. I don't know what beacons did to you but your have throughly conveyed your hate for them in your programming lol.
- Several times it actually could not complete the fate "Fallen Corpses Writhe in Sytle" in Southern Thanalan because it kept targeting non-fate mobs.
- Pathing issue at 19,24 in Southern Thanalan. Got stuck.
- Doesn't seem to update the fate list in Bot Settings properly. Could explain why there can be 5 fates up in the area but the bot is still saying it can't find one it can tackle.
- In Southern Thanalan, sometimes when the bot is moving to the fate "Fallen Corpses Writhe in Style" if approaching from the North it will try to run past the fate and get stuck running up the rock wall at 16, 26.
- In South Shroud, the fate "Breaching the Hive" should be filtered. Bot gets stuck trying to run to the top and usually ends up dying. Because the filter doesn't quite refresh right the fate was not in the list so I had to reload the bot to get the list to update then add it to the blacklist.
- Would like to see the option for a level range in the fate list instead of it defaulting to your level with options of scaling +1, 2, 3, etc. Or even leaving the current option there and adding the level range to compliment more selection, whichever is easier. I understand it can be turned off to do all non-filtered fates, but if you're trying to level instead of Atma grind the bot can sometimes travel through areas equal to/greater than your level while moving to the fate. Since the bot will dismount and confront all agro this makes it's not only dangerous but detrimental to the purpose of the bot if it takes 2-3 mins to plow through mobs to get where you're going.
- Would like to know if it's possible or even a good idea to have the bot teleport back to the nearest town if, after a minute or so, it reaches the "No fates to tackle" conclusion. As of now it will just sit the same location waiting for the next available action. This can be a pain in the ass if it stops you in an area that has hostile mobs =/< your level. Assuming it completes, on average, two fates per teleport, there shouldn't be any decline of gil.
