Cleaning Up Old Raid Achievements - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #27
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2024
- We're back for another week of achievements in Final Fantasy XIV! This time we're looking back at a couple of old Stormblood raids for a few quick and easy points. I'm super busy until next month, so I may or may not be scraping the bottom of the barrel here lol.

"Sage is just dumb Scholar for idiots" -Cider "Kardia's himself, not the tank" Spider
First time I played Sage in a duty, I said "new to Sage, help appreciated" and the only response I got was: "Just put Kardia on the tank and we'll be fine" :D
22:45 "I will probably choose whatever is the most boring and least anticipated thing is first." I look forward to the Doman Mahjong videos.
Ayo Mahjong is awesome though how dare you :c
the 1000 TT routlette wins seem boring enough
Lords of Verminion xD
I have heard about that in the comments every video since the start, so failing the "least anticipated" part there.
Hey, mahjong itself is fun. It’s just the broken ranking system that makes you lose more on a loss than you gain on a win thats the problem
That "Highlander of the Week" (the one in the maid costume) is my little brother! They mentioned running into you and needless to say, I was pretty hype!
Nothing beats a little clowning around. Which Omega raid boss is your favorite?
O12, easily, but I also liked O11 and even O5!
O5, for sure
010 is fun, Midgardsormr doing barrel rolls never gets old.
O4, O8, and O9. They make my younger nerd self very happy.
Doom train!
Kefka's rig actually has a naming scheme completely different from any other rig I've analyzed in this game so far (the bones have different names). I presume it's because it's imported imported from dissidia.
Cider: Uber busy this week, small miracle if I get anything out.
Also Cider nine shots in: fuck it, we ball.
Always a big fan of SE not forgetting that Kefka exists.
One of the best FF main villains.
Just wish he had more depth of voice lines instead of the SNES laugh
Die the Glory of Kefka!
So good that he actually had his original concept erased and replaced with the North American version.
FYI when Cider says "over the course of several years" he means the better part of a decade. Leves alone will take a minimum of 7 years. I'm not sure if there achievements for them but it takes that long to complete all of them. I could be wrong though.
Leves are the longest, but there are several other categories that also take years. Lately I've started on the treasure dungeon achievements which take a couple years if you only ever use your own maps, and the tank achievements also take 2 or 3 years if you only use roulettes for them.
Also fishing.
@@hoodiesticks I guess fishing depends on your working hours, if in homeoffice and dedication. I'm down to 18 big fish and started mid april. Got lucky on cinder egg with my first ever window, but ruby dragon still gives me a headache after ~15 windows. And I'm still kinda lazy with fishes like lancet and the ultima thule whale. I dont want to be stuck in the zone for hours when preparing the intuition, when i can do other achievments instead. (probably combine those fish with fate farming in the same zone)
Some maps are "easier" than others. With the garantueed portal maps you can at least stack and farm them while doing other things. Currently I'm doing frontline and I'm 2/3 done with the first gc to 300 wins. Still have like another 100 shb maps from the last event and now on 50 ew maps. But yeah, getting them yourself is a task, but buying them and profiting even as a duo is kinda fun and a change of pace.
I wonder, with some of these longer-length-of-time achievements if Square really understood how long the achievement would take when creating the achievement. The other problem is that a lot of the achievements that have super long term requirements to achieve involve content that was not continued to be added to in later expansions. So not only do they take a ton of time, they're boring because they're just no longer really relevant.
@@fenikkusu4893 That is some phenomenally good luck with fishing, but don't underestimate those last 18. I've been taking things one expansion at a time, and I managed to get every StB fish within a month and a half except one - Ruby Dragon. I've been hitting every single window since December, with no catch. I've heard some people have spent years on just that one fish alone.
Also, don't forget about Ocean Fishing. Those fabled fish are arguably even more difficult, since you get so few attempts at them each run.
@@powerofk With leves and PvP in particular, I get the sense that Squenix expected people to pick a main (combat class and crafter class) and just focus on the achievements for your main classes.
Still doesn't explain the absurd amount of battlecraft leves, tho
Midlander of the Week: RIGHT
The blue outfit was fire.
Yup.
Right.
12:40 -- Right, the blue is such a unique and adorable touch
Can't wait for Cider's Gold Saucer achievement arc.
You can sell excess island materials for the island currencies. Inside the house there's an export mammet that does it. That's what I do when the stack of mats I don't use in workshop reach a bit too high.
I really should do that but I'm too lazy. Just wish the mount freaken sell(nothing been selling lately).
This has quickly become my fav series on YT. Mad respect for you attempting this.
The Kefka rig and model is from Dissidia Final Fantasy. They use rigs and models from various Final Fantasies especially a lot from FF13 which 14 shared an engine with during development.
So in an earlier video you went over spiritbonding and materia extraction. I did some experiments in spritbonding because I didn't wanna pay the upwards of 10k gil each of materia for the ARR relics.
Long story short, gathering/crafting is the way to go. You can equip only 5 combat pieces on a crafter/gatherer but the grind goes so much faster than actual combat.
I first tried running level appropriate dungeons and got between 26 and 29% for each run. With max spiritbonding bonuses you might push it from 4 runs down to 3 to reach 100%. I only ran with squadrons, but because my gear wasn't great it took anywhere from 15 to 20 mins per run, so your looking at an hour most likely to reach 100%.
Next I tried fates. Those consistently gave about 2% each, so that's anywhere from 1 to 2 hours.
Then I switched to gathering. Each swing at a node had a roughly 75% chance at giving 1% spiritbond, so on 4 swings per node I got 3% almost every time. This took probably 20 mins or less to go from 1 to 100%. Crafting was pretty close to this result.
So if you need rank 1 materia and don't want to spend the money, my recommendation is to gather the millioncorn near Camp Drybone, and convert that to cornmeal. Haven't found good analogs for the other ranks yet but should be easy enough to find.
You can equip full sets of low-level caster gear on DoH/DoL. And a level 90 tool is enough stats that it doesn't matter. Crafting is going to be a lot faster. HQ gear gets a bonus to spiritbonding, and each materia meld also increases speed. If you have pentamelded HQ gear, a +6 spiritbond potion, and you're crafting a recipe 20+ levels higher than your gear, then Quick Synthesis will spiritbond your entire stack in 50 crafts, (2.5 minutes). If you craft Magitek Repair Kits, you can even make a small profit while you grind materia.
Note that a lot of older resources for spiritbond will tell you that there's a "sweet spot" for level difference, and you have to be exactly 10 levels off, or whatever. That is no longer true for DoH/DoL content. Higher level content is always better. There's a cap at some point, but there's never any drop off.
Kefka's rig is from his Dissidia appearances. Exdeath's too. I did some grinding of my own this week on the trial:
#1 - Got my Gatherers all to 70.
#2 - Crafted my HQ Lv70 Accessories so I can craft everything from Master Recipes VI, still need to pentameld the stuff though. 2/5 so far on that.
#3 - Monk and Samurai join my group of Lv70 combat classes. 2 Tanks, all 3 Healers, 3 Magic DPS, and Ninja+Dragoon to go.
#4 - Finished Balthier's and Vaan's *(his is from Tactic A2)* outfits from Ridorana and Orbonne Monastery.
#5 - Got the Gabriel α Identification Key from Moogle Tomestones because Trial can't go to Bozja. Did you know it plays FF12 music? I like FF12, so I had to have it.
and #6 - Finally finished Stormblood's MSQ. Maybe if we're lucky they'll add ShB to the trial in 5 years. But also by then they'll probably drop PS4 support, which means I won't be able to play... :(
Next item on my agenda is to continue doing roulettes & stuff to get my DPS 70d one at a time and eventually do the Scape raid series for some more Moogle tomestones and to see the story in there for the 1st time.
My vote goes to the lady on the right. Also I too was surprised they could make corn flakes.
Thank you for the video! It's always a joy when I see your new videos pop up in my recommended feed.
cider spider must learn that the duty finder lets you queue for multiple raids at once to join whichever pops first!!
Ooh last time I was this early I had a login queue of 5000
The Exdeath/Kefka models/rigs are from Dissidia NT IIRC
the SFX collection is ever expanding and I'm here for it. TREMBLE!
Every time one of these videos show up and I watch a few minutes I get the urge to log in and just play a bit.
That's the demon on your back talking... You should listen to it
Fun fact Kefka's model was from Dissidia NT. They reused it for this fight and his animations are all the same it's really cool
Just in case you didn't know, you can queue into multiple different raids at once, so you don't have to wait for a specific one
The "less LB generation for duplicate jobs" thing is actually ONLY true in duties marked as a "High-end Duty". Don't fret if you have 2 dancers in your roulettes. :P
my relic grind has stalled a bit, i got all the Anima, Manderville, and Resistance weapons and simply refused to do the Atma step again for several weeks, then started doing leve achievements. So currently unsure when I'll get back into Zodiac, but the month of June has a lot of free time for Eureka, so I should knock out a couple more of those.
Assuming Square Enix accepts my money for the subscription fee, of course.
With PoTD you get poetics, causality, and comedy tomes if you do it on a level 90 job and the weapons you get from trading in aetherpool arm/armor also shows up in the items section where all the combat relics are so if you get to the point were you want to farm Endwalker relics it might be a nice way to double dip (the first 2 sets sort of suck for causality but after those you get 60 each floor set with it being 100 on floors 50 and 100)
There`s also the achievments for the treasure hoards.
For Island Sanctuary xp, it is actually gained from hour spent on the craft and not the value of craft itself, so as long as you fill out your workshops, you will gain full xp
Thats some fast editing skills there Cider
"Sage is worse Scholar for idiots" it's me i'm idiots
Same lol. Sage is just a DPS trying to sneak into the healer queue
Then I must be a special kind of dumb because I could not figure out how to play sage😅
I love sage. I suck ass at scholar. I have both at 90 now but damn, starting my healing journey as scholar turned me off of healing for a few months.
@@Hawkeye446 if you've never done a healer before sage is *rough* to start with; it's already a kind of weird class and all the buttons are samey so there's a bit of a barrier there even if you know healing, but the fact that it starts at 70 makes it a brutal choice to learn to shield heal with (and I'm saying this as someone who really doesn't like playing scholar-it is the easier start because it's *not at level 70*)
they're like 97% the exact same job
Midlander.. Left. Also.. I approve the 7 lalafell names lol.
Can’t wait for the Chocobo racing video
The grind to 3000 races is real. I completed almost everything in Gold Saucer, just missing Verminion PvP, Mahjong Master, and the 3000 chocobo races (1900 atm). I decided to not go insane from racing, and just make sure I complete the 20 races for the challenge log every week. It will be finished this way earlier than I finish the levequest achievements.
At level 70 WHM, you cast Medica 2. And then medica 2. And then Medica 2. And then Medica 2. And inbetween Stones, more Medica 2.
You forgot an asize between the second and third medica 2
And, mechanics permitting, the occasional Asylum to give you time for more Stones.
While complaining about lillies being a loss
Today is my birthday! Always excited for your videos. even more so for a birthday upload
I am like 99% sure the Kefka model and rig come from Dissidia NT
Man, I would loved to have helped with this. The Omega Raids are my favorite raids. Of course most importantly the Kefka Fight. Also, does Cider have the 08S mount, if not we need to fix that.
Great video, Cider!
Middie of the week: RIGHT.
Love your content, keep it up! Also Alpha = best boi
Right Midlander in blue. I might be biased.
for kefka teleport mech. the knock back has a slight delay while the damage attack is almost instantaneous after spawning. so the best way is to wait behind kefka for a second and then run in front of him. no need to check which attack he does
Got my GNB yesterday to 90, and the first thing I've done has been getting the Amazing Manderville Gunblade. Now I have one of each (Tank, DPS and Healer) at 90 so these are great news
My favourite omega boss is o12. I haven't done any savage omega, but even in normal that fight holds up as a moderate challenge in DF.
I am 330 lalachievement score behind. I too didn't make much progress in points. However, now that my indagator crafting and gathering sets are done, I have properly resumed the EW doh/dol relic tool grind. I have almost everything gathered, so I'm finally going to see an achievement rain this coming week.
I turned my squadron into a casual MGP farm (everybody has a chance to get bonus MGP as a trait) which is how I remember to send them out regularly. It's a few thousand MGP once a day for basically nothing. The reason I bring it up is this - the level 50 missions require higher stats and are more likely to fail but running the level 40 ones once a week still give you plenty of whatever bonus item you want. I hit all 90s and still have exp scrolls left over plus a few others I cycle through.
Are you planning on doing a video about Dawntrail preparations? I've been wondering what I should grind for for a while now, so honestly just having a video to use as an example for what to farm could be pretty good
jokes on you, I was educated! I played for almost 3 years and had no idea about multiples of jobs lowering LB build up. Then again, I don't do raids, so LB never mattered much to me :D
hope you enjoyed the birthday too :)
You can tell the power of a server based on its Limsa Aetheryte plaza. Shout outs to Balmung legend Oliver Nexus and his wind-up doppelganger.
Also Midlander poll: Left
For Sage, you get a sting when a shield of yours from Eukrasian Diagnosis/Prognosis is broken. It has to be broken and not wear off.
Edit: of course you figure it out when i catch up in the video but i guess it helps you know the full context, and maybe any other people interested in Sage
*Nice FINALLY some interesting harder content!* 😎
Gotta give it to the Midlander on the right, that blue outfit looks so good. The color, the texture...I'd absolutely wear that.
My own week has been rather light thanks to busy evenings and only getting free to game late while still having an 8 to 5. I'm midway through Pyros, though, and working my way through the Omega missions to unlock one for my weekly Moogle Tomestones. Slow progress!
I'm looking forward to you doing the Zodiac relics! I've heard it has some pretty insane steps though. So that will make for an entertaining video. Like the Anima vid on savage difficulty.
I believe he already completed the Scholar ARR relic, and unlike the expansions, you don't need to get all relics to the final step for achievement points, only the first step for all 10 weapons. Granted, the ARR first step is longer than any other relic first step, but its still much less grind than completing everything.
@@NibelungJ Oh, you are right. For some reason, I was under the impression you needed ALL the zeta weapons for an achievement, but I was wrong.
Calling Kefka 'Ronald McDonald', I just took psychic damage.
I did not enjoy Astro for a long time, then the 6.x patches landed with the minor overhaul and it became better. Looks like 7.0 is really gonna make it more user-friendly though!
1) Right 2) WHM and BLM in the same box, as always!
*Points at Kefka fight* LOOK MOM I MADE IT INTO A CIDER VIDEO!
Can't wait till you start the fishing
Question, did you do the Yo-Kai achievements? There's an absurd amount of points if you do the grind for the weapons
I think he won't do them since these are seasonal events
Speaking of long grinds, good luck with the tank achievements when you decide to start those. At least 700 high-end duty clears on each tank (probably more when dawntrail releases) is nothing to joke about.
Right, thats a really nice looking shade of blue.
That UCoB achievement looking like it was calling to you. Come on Cider, you know you wanna ;)
Going to your Island Sanctuary is the equivalent of Limsa's insane asylum
Right !
Soon, it shall all be clean.
i always forget until you start running around limsa that you're in MY server, it's weird to remember lol hopefully get to catch you in game sometime!
Here's to hoping one day I can run into you in Limsa 😅 been watching for a hot minute and just realized we are on the same DC
You see, the reason why they used a unique rig for Kefka is because they already had one: It's the one from Dissidia.
So all CBU 3 had to do was port it to XIV pretty much as is, attack animations included. Exdeath also had the same thing happen.
Which really begs the question as to why we didn't get the same treatment for Chaos since he's also in Dissidia and instead we got a reskinned Sephirot.
Exdeath and Kefka were from Dissidia *NT* the arcade/console game by Team Ninja. That one didn't have Chaos
So what I'm hearing is. I should call you in the middle of raids.
Right, because she was wearing blue. ^_^
Also, I really need to start working on the Heavensward Relics. Those are my favorites, easy and I have three(soon to be four) level skipped Level 80 jobs that I can get the Lux relics on in a month. :)
While Kefka is a unique rig, he's imported from Dissidia NT/Arcade! This is the same with the Cloud of Darkness from Eden 9.
As White Mage you can apply HOTs.
don't know if anyone mentioned this but at 7:03 you didnt get knocked back because the attack didn't break your shield. doesn't work on every knock-back attack but that was a mechanic in older content for some reason.
honestly sage is the only job that I found so confusing that I completely failed to do the first job quest for it lol. at least with the other jobs I'll manage to scrape by that
Right for sure.
1) Midlander of the week vote goes to Miss S.R. on the right. She cute and I like her hair
2) Did not know about duplicate jobs lowering your LB rate and i have been playing for like...6 years.
3) 16:02 Ok that is the best healer name I have ever seen.
Why not both Midlanders, they're even "dancing" together? : V
14:30 Omega prank called you to get the upper hand. Also my vote goes to the right midlander because I know that player personally
"good thing we have a spare." lol Also, Right is the highlander of the week.
Omg what is that Astro glam!? It’s so cute!
Dancing mad is just.. masterpiece
seeing myself in ur video is so odd lol. also why do we not see yo at the lala bench?
The reason why you feel the rig for Kefka is familiar is because his animations all come from Dissidia.
Midlander on the left, not even close. More color variance, and the hat is a nice touch
Shout out to Left Midlander. It was a close match but left midlander won me over with the visor
You made me look at some content in a different light.
as a highlander player, thank you :D
"We promised to adventure together and you are now stuck on an island forever".
That's the plot of the Steven Universe movie.
Right midlander, hot damn.
Does anyone have a source for the different roles thing? I've read details on LB generation that show that you need a 2T+2H+4D composition to avoid a penalty to LB generation, but I haven't seen a solid source that says you specifically need different types of dps for anything (i.e. 2 melee 1 ranged 1 caster). Makes sense that you want a mix of mits and such, so it's still a good idea, but I'm curious whether it's actually necessary or just an oft repeated rumor.
This video reminded me that I haven't logged in in close to two weeks and my island animals are probably hostile. >
right!
Patiently waiting for blue mage content.
Now would be a bad time to tell him that a McDonalds in my home state of WV sells/sold pizza.
Only a few weeks and astrodyne will be astrodone
Midlander of the Week: RIGHT!!! (of course ^^ )
I never thought could enjoy this vids more until cider said that sage is just a bad version of scholar 😂 finally someone else speaks the truth about it
educational against your will ty!
Isnt the Kefa Rig used in p11s?
I am also missing just some of those raid achievements, not even by much, but I just keep expecting them to either show up in WT or roulettes and don't bother doing them actively, lol
10:15 - their plan didn't work for Endwalker, so in Dawntrail they just turned Scholar into a knockoff White Mage
O12 is really the best of the Omega fights, it actually felt like you needed to know the mechanics.
