9:32 I’m gonna use Mutamix Bubblypots to go through the explanation of gobbie names. Goblin names are usually consistent of 3 parts. Given name, suffix, and their last name. The given names are usually something in the Goblins tongue, a language we as players know nothing about. For Mutamix, this would be the “Muta” section of it. The suffix, (which isn’t always present) is indicative of gender. “ix” for male, and “ox” for female. Since Mutamix ends in “ix” we know Mutamix is a guy. The last name is usually a mash of words in common Eorzean tongue that typically 1) follows an “adjective noun” format and 2) is descriptive of the Goblin. Since Mutamix’s last name is Bubblypots, that tells us he’s an alchemist.
To follow up w bit on the explanation, when goblins speak in the common tongue they very rarely use the proper words for things. "Lustyeye" means to covet, "ear catch" is to hear, "busydeal" means to do business, "endmake" means to kill or murder. If you listen to Metal the lyrics are written as though it's a goblin talking to get some more ideas of how they talk.
The given names also sometimes have meaning. "Muta" has a lot of related words meaning to change, such as mutate or mutagen. Mix, of course, is a verb. So he mixes things with his bubblypots to change them.
Every time Brute Justice transforms I like spamming into the chat 'Oh no! Gobbie has Twelve and Doma on sideback! D:' for similar gobbie-related shenanigans
To be fair, you're probably going to be really happy to be on Dynamis when Dawntrail comes out and the login queues are thousands of players long everywhere else.
I went to Dynamis. loved getting a house, though i didn't really want one, then had to unsub for a few months, lost it. Now I'm back on Aether so I can sit in the queues all day when dawntrail comes out. :|
This one came down to the wire, but we're not letting this weekly streak die! Some of the weeklies will probably end up in next week's video. Speaking of weeklies, how's your achievement progress?
Just discovered there's a title for 10,000 fates, BLU is gonna be getting some mileage for SURE. Also, do you have any plans on building a CWLS or Static? I'm sure myself and others would have no problem assisting with some of the grinds to help get you some of the achievements. You're gonna need an elite grinding team to help you get Luckiest of Ladies. Alaric Southsea @ Sargatanas
Been on the achievement grind for the last 2 years as well, sitting on 17.3k pts. Get's a bit slow when you get to the 10k qty ones. Dreading the RNG PvP wins for frontline. Your comment on "WAR doesn't have shields" don't forget about Shake it Off gives shields and regen now :D Good luck on your grind and look forward to your next video.
Grinding the Firmament for Hand of Creation title, hopefully getting Luck Be A Moogle III in the process - so, to answer your question, it's going badly.
Managed to complete the crafters log for CRP and almost all of WVR for this week. Its been a grind gathering mats and then making everything. Id be poor if I just bought everything off the marketboard.
Since your last video, I have killed my 200000th monster, completed my 100th guildhest, crafted the skysung alembic for ALC, killed my 500th A mark, reached level 90 on DRG, obtained my final Bozjan Southern Front field note, reached level 70 on AST and obtained the achievement for getting all disciple of magic jobs to 70. I have entered the top 100 in my server (Adamantoise) for achievement points this week as a result, currently sitting at #93. From an achievement hunter to another, I salute you.
Dang seeing someone be doing so well without even having all the jobs at max level, I've got osme catching up to do with ym goal being mroe simply to be top 1000 on midgardsormr.
I laughed so hard during your fight with the tweaking minotaur. Thank you for having such a good attitude about the repeated deaths. I would've given up, but not you. You are a treasure.
The way you described going to another server for this sounded like an isekai title. Something like “I Got Reincarnated As A Lalafel And Now Must Kill All The A Ranks For My Achievement Farm” [Working Title]
this is great, i love that every episode has a "theme". can't wait for the relic ones, i'm working through ARR ones myself and oh boy is it an experience
Alternately: save 3000 Centurio Seals, turn them in for 6 of the Clan Mark Logs (at 500 apiece) in Foundation, then travel to Idyllshire and buy the Wyvern Horn for the ugliest dragon mount in the game.
17:00 "Really, name a worse boss than this. Not only does he instakill you, he twerks on you while he's doing it." Uh, Cider, you made a loooong video about a certain thicc Ancient Daddy and his s n a k e s twerking on the raid not so long ago
Recently got back into XIV , after not being able to get past the tedium of the post ARR patch quests. Your videos help me look at what goals I may want to set my self post MSQ. Subbed, love the content.
Slipkink Steeljoints had a very unfortunate accident during his more explorative years, thus needing to replace the lower section of his body and a few various other parts with metal armatures, hence the name.
You can exchange 500 Centurio seals for a Clan mark log via Ardolain in the Forgotten knight, you can then turn in 6 of those to Bertana in Idyllshire (Uncanny Knicknaks) for the Wyvern mount. Plus theres also SB logs too, such as bardings for Veteran Clan Logs and emotes for Mythic Clan logs, again these logs also cost 500 Centurio seals each and you need multiple logs to buy them.
Okay proper comment now - weirdly enough these videos inspire me to actually chip away at the achievements I've been wanting to complete on my main! It just reminds me that for a lot of these, you need to chip away at it a little at a time, and that's alright because progress is good. And sometimes you end up earning achievements you weren't even looking to do! So thanks for that dude. :)
Friend of mine has Ultimate Thrillseeker (for 5,000 S Ranks) twice over. If you ever decide you want to go for it, it's best to focus on it hard during expansion launch cause all of the new areas have multiple instances and people are hard focusing the hunt for the new achievements that come with them and early expac gearing
I can confirm it, got really sad that I had failed while trying to solo the FATE, and then... that wonderful sound that indicated I had learned a new spell.
23:31 This one translates to "Dream Ogre" "The oni yumemi shocks its prey into unconsciousness, and feeds while the victim is lost in dreams. And if that wasn't sufficiently horrific, this mark is rumored to wield powers of freezing ice...” I thought tapirs were the ones who eat dreams? Then again, Darkrai's also all about making its victims fall asleep to eat dreams so...
Oh man, The Hunt is a massive pain! I've only done the "each A rank once" achievements myself, and dread working on S ranks and ESPECIALLY dread that Centurio Tiger and the other hunt mounts... Also yeah Mahisha is wildly more nasty to solo than anyone else in the A ranks. Apparently the Hex chance depends on distance so you can avoid getting turned into a pig if you run REALLY far away, but it's still really wonky. When I ran across him for my achievement I had to have a buddy help out so we'd have more leeway in case someone got pigged and devoured. Since you showed your weekly jumbo cactpot, here's a big recommendation for you when it comes to the cactpot achievements, including the final one you'll need for the High Roller title - any MGP buff applies to the payout from the cactpots, and this increased payout fully applies for your achievement progress! The two most common ways I know of are using Gold Saucer VIP Cards (I got a bunch from my Grand Company's Adventurer Squadron missions), or if you're in an FC you can turn on a buff that does the same thing as the VIP card. If you activate either of those you can get an extra 15% MGP, on top of the Early Bird bonus you get from being there within 1 hour after the cactpot results are announced. It's still gonna take forever (took me about 2 years because my luck is bad) but trust me that buff is a godsend!
The FC buff that grants 15% is one that requires company workshop crafting and aetherial wheel charging. Jackpot III, it's called. When enabled, it lasts for a full 24 hours for all members of a Free Company. It's super great! But! If you can't swing that, and don't have any personal VIP cards, the next best thing is the Jackpot II FC buff (10% bonus) which can be bought with your free company's company credits in the Grand Company lobby with which the free company is affiliated. This DOES require permission to spend credits and activate actions.
I would like to encourage you to continue with these videos, hon. Between burnout, and my own "mad because smol" (child) that arrived around Shadowbringers, my drive and interest in the game has been waning. This is sparking my motivation to play again. Keep going!
a ranks are fun because i smacked one for fun in il mheg thinking (and not remembering) that they were as easy as the 'elite' marks you get on the 'go kill this mini boss' bill and it hit me for half my hp on an auto. hunting is fun but it's definitely more doable and more fun in parties 😅 once again, a great job on an enjoyable video! the intro especially was very fun, i love seeing charity dressed up to play various parts lmao
This is a great series of videos you're doing. Even made me tune into your streams occasionally (I very rarely watch streams live) and got to hear about the meatloaf.
Nice man, the best Lore video on the web today :D I have to do ranks too.... at least will be aware of Twerking Minotaur. I thought you will symmon other 7 WoL's but you solo'ed it - amazing!
OH for anyone interested in the achievement hell grind, in relation to retainers, sending them out for materials that drop from low level ARR monsters is huge for the "Craft 1000/2000/3000 level x1-x0 items as this crafter" achievements which gives some sick titles like "Of The Golden Needle, Of The Golden Hide" etc. Raptor skins are one of the better ones for leatherworker and it isn't easy to farm, nor is it tied to an achievement like the gathering versions. There are a few others but that is the only one that comes to mind, but you need legit THOUSANDS of those skins for the 3k crafting achievements
Funa Yurei is named after a type of vengeful ghost (yuurei = ghost) of those who have died at sea (funa = boat) and are looking to take other humans with them by causing boats to sink!
Note for the Minotaur hunt for anyone that wants to do it solo, when it casts Hex run away, its a proximity spell so the further away you are the less likely you are to get pigged and killed
You should make that your Outro from now on, The Twirking Mino truly is the underground Final Boss of Stormblood. Zenos wishes he had twirked on the WoL.
Gotta say, this new series of yours is making me want to get back into FF14(especially as I've yet to complete all of the post-release Endwalker content). Sadly, I won't be able to until March; hopefully that desire is still there when that month rolls around.
as someone who's attempting to get all orchestration rolls without buying them, i feel this vid so much with the heavensward a rank farm. took so long trying to get them to drop their faded copies.
Your complaining about the HW areas are all things I've said and groaned about. xD Your videos are entertaining as hell. Thank you for your top tier quality content.
When everyone is basically bitching about content drought while having less than 4k achievements, it is refreshing to see a content where someone actually plays the game, let alone having more than 10k achievement points as a ShB player. Keep up the good content
Not everyone is going to like everything lol plus most of the 'content' you can do in the game for endwalker is super repetitive. Bozja, Eureka, PoTD's are the three best things this game has ever done but all the deep dungeons are super similar, if you tried one youve tried them all plus most ppl dont enjoy it. Bozja + Eureka are good but depend very much on how populated they are and if you have friends that A already finished it and want to help or B start with you.
Last week I did a bunch of Hunt achievements and had the same thing happen. So many I found within minutes, but some were literally in the last place there was to look. Since the last video I managed to get a special Fate achievement (Ixion) and *drumroll* I COMPLETED my first ARR relic weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭
That battle with Mahisha was brilliant! If you want to grind out the 1000 B ranks, Flame Sergeant Dalvag in Northern Thanalan is a good one. Small map, and simple loop to run to find him.
I have a Free Trial Character in Dynamis. You can't use the Party Finder, you can't hop servers, and you can't even use /tell to organize anything. I was queueing for Crystal Tower for 1-2 hours a day for 3 weeks until I just started begging people in plaza in Limsa. 18 randos ran all three raids, unsynced in a total of 20 minutes. Wish I had just asked sooner.
There's something mildly trippy about being a Halicarnassus player doing content on the Crystal data center while watching someone from the Crystal datacenter go to Halicarnassus to steal all the hunt marks.
23:12 Yurei means "ghost" but funa yurei means "boat spirit" (a type of onryō, which means "vengeful ghost or spirit" ) even though funa apparently means "carp"?
I was always a bigger fan of the goblin Ratfinx Twinkledinks, myself (Alexander - The Fist of the Son). Although, you best not underestimate Lamebrix Strikebocks (Alexander - The Breath of the Creator), as he has the unmitigated gall to somehow "survive" our encounter with him, and turn up as a Notorious Monster In Eureka Pyros. XD Goblin nonsense aside, there are plenty of nice things you can do with all that hunt currency you're getting. There are exclusive minions, orchestrion rolls, chocobo barding, and even emotes that you can buy with them, as well as a mount, the Wyvern. You'll need to look into getting the "Mark Logs" for some of those. All of that aside, once you get all the nice goodies that you want, my favourite go-to for spending Allied Seals and Centurio Seals has got to be the Aetherite Tickets. Good ol' free teleports. Haven't paid for a single one in several years at this point. Which is really handy when you end up teleporting all over creation for whatever strikes your fancy. ;)
Haha, I play on Dynamis (Maduin specifically), and yeah it seems like the only time we get Travelers is when someone wants to minimize competition for certain content, like the large amount of people who came flooding in to try and get solo Fall Guys runs. At the rate our data center is filling up, I wouldn't be surprised if Sqaure-Enix bumped us up to "Road to 90" even though we've had Road to 80 activated *to this day* since the data center first went up.
You can, if you want, use Centurio Seals to get some emotes. There are two you can get from buying some books for Centurio Seals. They are Mythic Clan Mark Log and Veteran's Clan Mark. I cannot remember the number of books (I think it's 5 or 6) and you can exchange them in Rhalgar's Reach for emotes. The books are about 500 seals a pop.
I have to give credit where credit is due. My friends and I were grinding the bojza relic - the one-time step. We were grinding skirmishes in z3 - but primal was super populated, so the person who needed the stuff for the second one-time step kept getting silver on every skirmish. So I decided to say we should go to the barren wasteland that is probably dynamis. And wouldn't you know it, there was exactly 3 other people there - not grinding z3. We cleared like.... 25 skirmishes extremely quickly because it wasn't long until it was just the 3 of us. A giga chad came in and tried a dual but sadly perished in the process. 1 free revive towards my achievement
Lets GOOOOOO We love Hunts (im we) Like 170 away from 5k S Ranks and 750 for 10k A Ranks. Primal hunts are really freakin neat and we have morals compared to Crystal and Aether where we actually wait and will try to reset S Ranks if things are early pulled. Met so many neat people doing hunts and stuff is always active and informative. If you see a Moga Bylestir, that is me and I apologize for all the weird shit we say and do on Primal. Lamp, Farlemald, cursed stuff, etc.
i always do my weekly hunt boards at each major city, i only do the elite hunts so im only looking for 5 dudes once a week. you gotta kill 1000 B ranks total eventually, and doin it this way gets you 25k gil every week and infinite free teleports. youll find some A ranks along the way, youll make a mental note of spawn locations and you can swing by and check em any time youre in the area doin anything for an extra hunt kill. no reason to grind out 1000 kills in a week when you already know leve quests are gonna take 7 years.
I never knew what I had till I saw someone who didn't have it. I play on chaos (sagi) and there some wonderful volunteers organise hunt trains on regular basis. here they have someone scout ahead for all hunts that have spawned (usually grouped for one expansion, hw trains, sb trains, ect.), plans a route, and then invites everyone to join up. I have a linkshell that lets me know if one is about to start and then I can just join. they happen close to daily. multiple times even sometimes. I've been rapidly gaining hunt achievements since getting that shell. super easy though I have yet to see an arr train. so I guess I will have to do that one myself 😅
That clip of everyone killing the endwalker A rank blew my mind, I figured being in Heavensward there were a lot of people I just wasn’t running into cause of all the areas I’ve yet to unlock but are there really just groups that large getting together in areas to kill stuff I’ve never seen anything like that before
There are mount achievements for Shadowbringer and End Walker that require you to kill 2000 As and 1000 Ss (I think). Might consider doing some Shb hunt trains to get the As before the next expansion? Sort of anticipating the Shb trains will not be running as often come next expansion. But it's up to you.
Slipkinx Steeljoints - The Ix in the first name indicates its a male goblin. The last name is one he gave himself because he likes his suit. If I remember right - only first names of goblins are given; the second name is one they pick for themselves in adulthood. Goblin names that end in Ox are girls. So "Brayflox Alltalks" is a girl goblin that thinks she's good at negotiation. The "n" in the INX part of the first name is unusual. That defies the usual goblin naming convention. I guess notorious monsters don't have to follow the rules. Edit: I looked it up, and the N in the "inx" bit is a peculiarity of the Illuminati goblins. Quickthinx Allthoughts has it too.
i remember my first hunt mark i ever ran into. I was level 10 and i had to pass by forneus he murdered me instantly. I'll never forget that moment in my life
for reference, on a weekend afternoon, roulettes are DPS preferred, because that's what the server defaults to when no one is in queue. tank/healer queues can't save you
9:32 I’m gonna use Mutamix Bubblypots to go through the explanation of gobbie names.
Goblin names are usually consistent of 3 parts. Given name, suffix, and their last name. The given names are usually something in the Goblins tongue, a language we as players know nothing about. For Mutamix, this would be the “Muta” section of it. The suffix, (which isn’t always present) is indicative of gender. “ix” for male, and “ox” for female.

If you listen to Metal the lyrics are written as though it's a goblin talking to get some more ideas of how they talk.
Seven hells! This explanation has given sense to me to the way they speak: time to listen to all HW songs that involves Goblins with new ears!
The given names also sometimes have meaning. "Muta" has a lot of related words meaning to change, such as mutate or mutagen. Mix, of course, is a verb. So he mixes things with his bubblypots to change them.
Also -inx seems to be common among Illuminati e.g. Quickthinx Allthoughts
Every time Brute Justice transforms I like spamming into the chat 'Oh no! Gobbie has Twelve and Doma on sideback! D:' for similar gobbie-related shenanigans
as a dynamis player, can confirm we didnt know what hit us... we didnt even know we were hit... (noones here, please, im lonely)
Some of us are here! But all I do is fish so I dunno find a fishing hole and there I'll be!
Halicarnassus' best known afkers don't even belong to our server.
To be fair, you're probably going to be really happy to be on Dynamis when Dawntrail comes out and the login queues are thousands of players long everywhere else.
@@nikidelvalle until they also force long queues over there too.

Been on the achievement grind for the last 2 years as well, sitting on 17.3k pts. Get's a bit slow when you get to the 10k qty ones. Dreading the RNG PvP wins for frontline. Your comment on "WAR doesn't have shields" don't forget about Shake it Off gives shields and regen now :D Good luck on your grind and look forward to your next video.
Grinding the Firmament for Hand of Creation title, hopefully getting Luck Be A Moogle III in the process - so, to answer your question, it's going badly.
Managed to complete the crafters log for CRP and almost all of WVR for this week. Its been a grind gathering mats and then making everything. Id be poor if I just bought everything off the marketboard.
As a Dynamis mentor, thank you for your service of attempting ANYTHING on our DC.
I do fall guys on dynamis because it feels less laggy
@@psymareasier to win also if you're the only player :p
Since your last video, I have killed my 200000th monster, completed my 100th guildhest, crafted the skysung alembic for ALC, killed my 500th A mark, reached level 90 on DRG, obtained my final Bozjan Southern Front field note, reached level 70 on AST and obtained the achievement for getting all disciple of magic jobs to 70.

The way you described going to another server for this sounded like an isekai title.
Something like “I Got Reincarnated As A Lalafel And Now Must Kill All The A Ranks For My Achievement Farm” [Working Title]
You...YOU!
You're the reason I couldn't find those A ranks last month!
As a Dynamis resident, I laughed and cried. Always great to see more from this series, keep it up!
Mhm I’m on maralith it pained me for him to just say it’s a dead server
I may need to visit Dynamis soon, I need 800 allied seals for my next BLU weapon
Same here, Hali no less. Now watch all these tourists coming over to do this. LOL
this is great, i love that every episode has a "theme". can't wait for the relic ones, i'm working through ARR ones myself and oh boy is it an experience
Same- it’s such a giant slog… I HATE THESE DING DANG BOOKS
Use your Centurio Seals to buy teleport tickets
(bottom floor of tavern in ishgard)
Alternately: save 3000 Centurio Seals, turn them in for 6 of the Clan Mark Logs (at 500 apiece) in Foundation, then travel to Idyllshire and buy the Wyvern Horn for the ugliest dragon mount in the game.
@@Nomicakes there's also the equivalent in Rhalgr's Reach (but the mount trader's in the same area, behind a nearby counter)
Alternatively: buy 12 Mythic Clan Mark Logs to get the /winded and /shiver emotes. Because we all need more ways to be degen in Limsa
shiver also comes from eureka lockboxes (4.6%)
I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying your achievment videos. It's been injecting ideas into my head of things I want to do when bored.
LMAO I knew it would be Dynamis. This hurt! But as always, great vid. - signed, the one Dynamis (Hali) player.
Hello, from a Dynamis (Maduin) dweller. Thanks for passing through.
17:00 "Really, name a worse boss than this. Not only does he instakill you, he twerks on you while he's doing it."

dude i love how you make gathering achievements weekly, so dang entertaining. good job!
Amazing creative twist to mundane dailies, weeklies and grind in general, I'm really enjoying this series lol
Continue to love these. As a Mahjong Master, I can't wait until you get to that horrible grind. The suffering must be shared
Those death noises... pure gold

That, and the bosses don't die in 30 seconds.... so you actually have time to server travel AND get to the zone! ^^
20:00 fun fact, you can still learn blue mage spell even if fate fails
I can confirm it, got really sad that I had failed while trying to solo the FATE, and then... that wonderful sound that indicated I had learned a new spell.
23:31 This one translates to "Dream Ogre"
"The oni yumemi shocks its prey into unconsciousness, and feeds while the victim is lost in dreams. And if that wasn't sufficiently horrific, this mark is rumored to wield powers of freezing ice...” I thought tapirs were the ones who eat dreams? Then again, Darkrai's also all about making its victims fall asleep to eat dreams so...

If you can't swing that, and don't have any personal VIP cards, the next best thing is the Jackpot II FC buff (10% bonus) which can be bought with your free company's company credits in the Grand Company lobby with which the free company is affiliated.

I thought you will symmon other 7 WoL's but you solo'ed it - amazing!
OH for anyone interested in the achievement hell grind, in relation to retainers, sending them out for materials that drop from low level ARR monsters is huge for the "Craft 1000/2000/3000 level x1-x0 items as this crafter" achievements which gives some sick titles like "Of The Golden Needle, Of The Golden Hide" etc. Raptor skins are one of the better ones for leatherworker and it isn't easy to farm, nor is it tied to an achievement like the gathering versions. There are a few others but that is the only one that comes to mind, but you need legit THOUSANDS of those skins for the 3k crafting achievements
Hey man love your vids, I want more, more more!!! But seriously good stuff, I can watch these forever
this videos are keeping me sane while i hunt for the queen bean title, thank you.
Funa Yurei is named after a type of vengeful ghost (yuurei = ghost) of those who have died at sea (funa = boat) and are looking to take other humans with them by causing boats to sink!
Note for the Minotaur hunt for anyone that wants to do it solo, when it casts Hex run away, its a proximity spell so the further away you are the less likely you are to get pigged and killed
You should make that your Outro from now on, The Twirking Mino truly is the underground Final Boss of Stormblood. Zenos wishes he had twirked on the WoL.
i still have to finish the moogle tribe..... that hurts but another video of you pushing on gives me motivation to carry on myself
Gotta say, this new series of yours is making me want to get back into FF14(especially as I've yet to complete all of the post-release Endwalker content). Sadly, I won't be able to until March; hopefully that desire is still there when that month rolls around.
Well, you'll have presumably three months to do all the EW patch content before Dawntrail releases in June. Sounds like perfect timing!
as someone who's attempting to get all orchestration rolls without buying them, i feel this vid so much with the heavensward a rank farm. took so long trying to get them to drop their faded copies.
Your complaining about the HW areas are all things I've said and groaned about. xD Your videos are entertaining as hell. Thank you for your top tier quality content.
When everyone is basically bitching about content drought while having less than 4k achievements, it is refreshing to see a content where someone actually plays the game, let alone having more than 10k achievement points as a ShB player. Keep up the good content
Not everyone is going to like everything lol plus most of the 'content' you can do in the game for endwalker is super repetitive. Bozja, Eureka, PoTD's are the three best things this game has ever done but all the deep dungeons are super similar, if you tried one youve tried them all plus most ppl dont enjoy it. Bozja + Eureka are good but depend very much on how populated they are and if you have friends that A already finished it and want to help or B start with you.
Last week I did a bunch of Hunt achievements and had the same thing happen. So many I found within minutes, but some were literally in the last place there was to look. Since the last video I managed to get a special Fate achievement (Ixion) and *drumroll* I COMPLETED my first ARR relic weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭
So this is where all my A ranks went at 2 a.m. can't believe I missed you on Halicarnasus.
That battle with Mahisha was brilliant! If you want to grind out the 1000 B ranks, Flame Sergeant Dalvag in Northern Thanalan is a good one. Small map, and simple loop to run to find him.
Thanks for the tip! That will be helpful.
I'm so glad someone else knows that amazing PVP revolver.
I have a Free Trial Character in Dynamis. You can't use the Party Finder, you can't hop servers, and you can't even use /tell to organize anything. I was queueing for Crystal Tower for 1-2 hours a day for 3 weeks until I just started begging people in plaza in Limsa. 18 randos ran all three raids, unsynced in a total of 20 minutes. Wish I had just asked sooner.
There's something mildly trippy about being a Halicarnassus player doing content on the Crystal data center while watching someone from the Crystal datacenter go to Halicarnassus to steal all the hunt marks.
ultimate footage for heist start. love it
Cider Spider: "When are we gonna add light rolling for FFXIV?"
FFXVI Event: ;)
This is inspiring! I might do this while I finish MSQ and take breaks from mount farming
23:12 Yurei means "ghost" but funa yurei means "boat spirit" (a type of onryō, which means "vengeful ghost or spirit" ) even though funa apparently means "carp"?
Great progress Cider keep it up!
The BGM 100 at 17:46 I was cackling at. Oh that's so gloriously stupid, I love it.
I was always a bigger fan of the goblin Ratfinx Twinkledinks, myself (Alexander - The Fist of the Son). Although, you best not underestimate Lamebrix Strikebocks (Alexander - The Breath of the Creator), as he has the unmitigated gall to somehow "survive" our encounter with him, and turn up as a Notorious Monster In Eureka Pyros. XD
Goblin nonsense aside, there are plenty of nice things you can do with all that hunt currency you're getting. There are exclusive minions, orchestrion rolls, chocobo barding, and even emotes that you can buy with them, as well as a mount, the Wyvern. You'll need to look into getting the "Mark Logs" for some of those. All of that aside, once you get all the nice goodies that you want, my favourite go-to for spending Allied Seals and Centurio Seals has got to be the Aetherite Tickets. Good ol' free teleports. Haven't paid for a single one in several years at this point. Which is really handy when you end up teleporting all over creation for whatever strikes your fancy. ;)
I respect the dedication. That glam is fantastic!
Haha, I play on Dynamis (Maduin specifically), and yeah it seems like the only time we get Travelers is when someone wants to minimize competition for certain content, like the large amount of people who came flooding in to try and get solo Fall Guys runs.
At the rate our data center is filling up, I wouldn't be surprised if Sqaure-Enix bumped us up to "Road to 90" even though we've had Road to 80 activated *to this day* since the data center first went up.
You can, if you want, use Centurio Seals to get some emotes. There are two you can get from buying some books for Centurio Seals. They are Mythic Clan Mark Log and Veteran's Clan Mark. I cannot remember the number of books (I think it's 5 or 6) and you can exchange them in Rhalgar's Reach for emotes. The books are about 500 seals a pop.
The "Yumemi" - "You made me" bit made me groan IRL.
I have to give credit where credit is due. My friends and I were grinding the bojza relic - the one-time step. We were grinding skirmishes in z3 - but primal was super populated, so the person who needed the stuff for the second one-time step kept getting silver on every skirmish. So I decided to say we should go to the barren wasteland that is probably dynamis. And wouldn't you know it, there was exactly 3 other people there - not grinding z3. We cleared like.... 25 skirmishes extremely quickly because it wasn't long until it was just the 3 of us. A giga chad came in and tried a dual but sadly perished in the process. 1 free revive towards my achievement
love the WAH for the achievemnt sound xD
The hunt is, long term, a much larger commitment 😅 5000 S Ranks for Ultimate Thrillseeker is still a very long way away for me
Done … finished this weekend … now 1k ShB and EW missing 120ish and 40ish respectively
cider casually ruining hunt trains haha
"We need shields and warrior doesn't have any" Blood whetting and shake it off have left the building
Lets GOOOOOO We love Hunts (im we) Like 170 away from 5k S Ranks and 750 for 10k A Ranks.
Primal hunts are really freakin neat and we have morals compared to Crystal and Aether where we actually wait and will try to reset S Ranks if things are early pulled. Met so many neat people doing hunts and stuff is always active and informative. If you see a Moga Bylestir, that is me and I apologize for all the weird shit we say and do on Primal. Lamp, Farlemald, cursed stuff, etc.
Oh? I was fully expecting "Ok, the gloves are off" moment to be the fake class of blue.
"Featuring Jorn Lande and Michael Kiske." Best reference *ever*
Guilty cheeks have got no rhythm I almost died laughing so hard. You truly are on another level!
In all technicality, every mark was in the last place you looked
Best of luck for the achievement "Castle in the Sky". Very nice videos through.
600h of grind, never again xD
I never want to do Castle in the SKy again.
5:00
"He's gonna Zanig'oh to the polls!"
Goddamnit, Cider.😂🤣😆
22:00 4kids dub version would be something more along the lines Steve Scorpini with a random Italian mafia accent
i always do my weekly hunt boards at each major city, i only do the elite hunts so im only looking for 5 dudes once a week. you gotta kill 1000 B ranks total eventually, and doin it this way gets you 25k gil every week and infinite free teleports. youll find some A ranks along the way, youll make a mental note of spawn locations and you can swing by and check em any time youre in the area doin anything for an extra hunt kill. no reason to grind out 1000 kills in a week when you already know leve quests are gonna take 7 years.
They organize centurio trains on dynamis for Stormblood A ranks. It's kind of funny if you unwittingly sniped almost an entire train.
I can only imagine the Dynamis serves start seeing tourists from other rounds just for doing hunts after this video came out
I never knew what I had till I saw someone who didn't have it. I play on chaos (sagi) and there some wonderful volunteers organise hunt trains on regular basis. here they have someone scout ahead for all hunts that have spawned (usually grouped for one expansion, hw trains, sb trains, ect.), plans a route, and then invites everyone to join up. I have a linkshell that lets me know if one is about to start and then I can just join. they happen close to daily. multiple times even sometimes. I've been rapidly gaining hunt achievements since getting that shell. super easy
though I have yet to see an arr train. so I guess I will have to do that one myself 😅
As a former Balmunky now taking up residence on Maduin... Yeah, nobody plays here. Sadge.
And so it was that Cider Spider entered a comatose state for ~60 hours. :P
I laughed, I cried.. I watched.. Thanks for the giggles.
Another great video Cider. You mad lad.
When you found Mahisha, I knew exactly what was going to happen.
That clip of everyone killing the endwalker A rank blew my mind, I figured being in Heavensward there were a lot of people I just wasn’t running into cause of all the areas I’ve yet to unlock but are there really just groups that large getting together in areas to kill stuff I’ve never seen anything like that before
There are mount achievements for Shadowbringer and End Walker that require you to kill 2000 As and 1000 Ss (I think). Might consider doing some Shb hunt trains to get the As before the next expansion? Sort of anticipating the Shb trains will not be running as often come next expansion. But it's up to you.
Uncanny how the theme fits to the minotaur's groove
On behalf of all Dynamis, you're welcome. Also you will be hearing from our lawyers.
Slipkinx Steeljoints - The Ix in the first name indicates its a male goblin. The last name is one he gave himself because he likes his suit. If I remember right - only first names of goblins are given; the second name is one they pick for themselves in adulthood. Goblin names that end in Ox are girls. So "Brayflox Alltalks" is a girl goblin that thinks she's good at negotiation.
The "n" in the INX part of the first name is unusual. That defies the usual goblin naming convention. I guess notorious monsters don't have to follow the rules. Edit: I looked it up, and the N in the "inx" bit is a peculiarity of the Illuminati goblins. Quickthinx Allthoughts has it too.
i remember my first hunt mark i ever ran into. I was level 10 and i had to pass by forneus he murdered me instantly. I'll never forget that moment in my life
for reference, on a weekend afternoon, roulettes are DPS preferred, because that's what the server defaults to when no one is in queue. tank/healer queues can't save you
didnt realize you were on my data center, cool!
Dynamis player here.
It is pain.
"It will never twerk again. Its guilty cheeks have got no rhythm." lmfao
The guilty cheeks twirking with the beat was HILARIOUS!!!🤣🤣🤣
Angrier because Smaller.
Extra-concentrated angry.
I love the use of the cursed Viera voice.
