Cleaning Up Old Raid Achievements - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #27 

"Sage is just dumb Scholar for idiots" -Cider "Kardia's himself, not the tank" Spider

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.

Nothing beats a little clowning around. Which Omega raid boss is your favorite?

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.

Midlander of the Week: RIGHT

Always a big fan of SE not forgetting that Kefka exists. One of the best FF main villains.

Cider: Uber busy this week, small miracle if I get anything out. Also Cider nine shots in: fuck it, we ball.

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.

"Sage is worse Scholar for idiots" it's me i'm idiots

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!

Can't wait for Cider's Gold Saucer achievement arc.

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

Ooh last time I was this early I had a login queue of 5000

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.

This has quickly become my fav series on YT. Mad respect for you attempting this.

My vote goes to the lady on the right. Also I too was surprised they could make corn flakes.

cider spider must learn that the duty finder lets you queue for multiple raids at once to join whichever pops first!!

12:40 -- Right, the blue is such a unique and adorable touch

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!

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.

I am like 99% sure the Kefka model and rig come from Dissidia NT

Why not both Midlanders, they're even "dancing" together? : V

Can’t wait for the Chocobo racing video

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.

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.

I mean technically Kefka is not a unique rig cause they stole it from Dissidia lol

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)

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.

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.

the SFX collection is ever expanding and I'm here for it. TREMBLE!

So what I'm hearing is. I should call you in the middle of raids.

How is the island doing?😊

The Exdeath/Kefka models/rigs are from Dissidia NT IIRC

Uh, hearing you say you want to get combat relics done before DT. As someone with all of them, you'll want to start ASAP. One step in particular is pretty infamous because of how long it takes. I don't want to tell you what to do, but I'm just gonna slightly nudge you in that direction if that's what you want to do.

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.

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.

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

I recommend to stop doing levequests 2 weeks before Dawntrail. That way you can massive level your crafts/gathering jobs real quick using them.

Midlander.. Left. Also.. I approve the 7 lalafell names lol.

Middie of the week: RIGHT.

I don't think it's *Possible* to get every Zodiac relic finished by Dawntrail if you're doing every one. Every Relic comes with 12 books with 3 SPECIFIC Levequests that need Leve allowances for them. So even assuming PERFECT RNG in a way that every Levequest you want is up every time, that is 36 Allowances per class... 10 times because you need those 12 books every time so 360 Leve Allowances. And that's assuming PERFECT RNG, which is incredibly unlikely. So if you use a Levequest in order to cycle your quests, that adds to the time required to get those books done.

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

1) Right 2) WHM and BLM in the same box, as always!

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

Our vote is the girl on the Right.

Thank you for the video! It's always a joy when I see your new videos pop up in my recommended feed.

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

Patiently waiting for blue mage content.

Only a few weeks and astrodyne will be astrodone

Right Midlander in blue. I might be biased.

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.

Now would be a bad time to tell him that a McDonalds in my home state of WV sells/sold pizza.

I'm disappointed that Mandeville relics are just 100% uncapped tome purchase. Feels a bit like getting a participation trophy just for doing dailies. The storyline was entertaining though.

Midlander of the week? Pssh, put the camera back on the Highlander!!! Mad because MID

Thats some fast editing skills there Cider

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

It's 6 months if you never a miss a day for all 3 grand company turn in achievements. Because you can do supply and provisions at the same time...

Love your content, keep it up! Also Alpha = best boi

bruh, i've been playing this game a month before endwalker came out. Nearly all the shit you have said in your entire series. Has been news to me. I don't think you realize how much is not being said.

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.

You went to Idyllshire and didn't flamethrower Khloe? I feel like I don't even know you any more.

WAIT! You forgot to tell us to subscribe! and what the punishment would be if we didn't! No one panic. Just subscribe and you'll have nothing to worry about. NOBODY PANIC! Subscribe.

Given that fishing is sometimes A MONTH between attempts, Cider really should level fishing in any off moments, so he can at least TRY the 3 rarest fish when they come up every few weeks. Remember folks, there's somebody who's documented themselves trying every opertunity over multiple YEARS and has still missed that ONE FEKKING FISH...

*Points at Kefka fight* LOOK MOM I MADE IT INTO A CIDER VIDEO!

Adders are automatic ... and to replenish ya you need shields to break .. honestly though .. unless doing savage then you really dont ever need to replenish them as most runs you wont "need" any ... or if so just 1 .....wait did you say you're educational ??? LYK ONG MUST BLOCK ... rofl jk keep rawkin it

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

I don't see a lot of MElezen either and it makes me sad because I'm one of them. lol

Sage is such a weird job. It's a clunky mess of a healer job. But once you get into the rhythm of keeping your shields up between dps phases and maintaining your mp grease. It's fun. But definitely not a main healer job. You absolutely will want a Scholar or Astro as co-healers. Having another Sage is a pain in the arse.

I've been playing this dumb game since ARR and i had no idea about the team comp or LB generation thing. I did know that team comp did SOMETHING, but since i have never seen anyone mention it ever in any piece of content i've done since ARR, i just assumed it was so useless that it didn't matter.

imo if wanna do duties from 4.0 onward, might as well do em on tanks, for those 4 tank jobs x 700 achievements, just need to "swallow their prides" while still be entertaining. ;)

Midlander of the week is right. If left had a pixie cut I'd vote for her but NOPE. That and blue complments oppai

That 5% matters or Extreme and Unreal. Too. Matter everywhere has Enrage have. Also, i love when people scare and hide the crown. Just pathetic and coward.

After my 'Like' ....somebody is gonna hit the 1000. Lucky AF.

SGE is more powerful but less consistent SCH with a wider variety of damage buttons

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

I noticed a lack of TREMBLE! in this video. Midlander of the week: Right

That UCoB achievement looking like it was calling to you. Come on Cider, you know you wanna ;)

if you haven't done the crafter relics for SHB, you might as well dump scrips into those

Zaltan looks like he doesn't understand Kefka's fakeouts and hits the wrong Omega sex, even if you tell him.

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

Midlander of the Week: RIGHT!!! (of course ^^ )

Think about it this way, the players complaining about being educated are likely the ones who need to be educated the most, whether they like it or not. Not sure if I can take another wipe on the ARR hydra trial without losing faith in human kind.

Farming Addersting is a net DPS loss from having to use a GCD on the shield.

This video reminded me that I haven't logged in in close to two weeks and my island animals are probably hostile. >

Every time i see a two dancer party I die inside. Either because I'm having to mess with my own muscle memory to offset tech step or because I try to wait, they don't do it, and the instant i finish the dance I look at the party list to see their tech step pop up just to override my buff 4 seconds later.

hey not every week is gonna be a banger, and thats okay. we got a new expansion coming right up, lets hope we can all enjoy it.

But I am a goober who needs your education, Spider! :(

blue bikiny the color matching just does something for me. thats my vote.

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.

As White Mage you can apply HOTs.

Right

Shout out to Left Midlander. It was a close match but left midlander won me over with the visor

idk both of those midlanders of the week look fantastic. They look like they're about to hit up the beach

The reason why you feel the rig for Kefka is familiar is because his animations all come from Dissidia.

I didn't know that about LB gen... but uh I'm also stupid so that'd be why

im not expecting a reply, but will you still be doing these videos once 7.0 drops? or will you take a break for spoilers sake?

right

when it comes normal raids tank queue is king but healer for everything else

Midlander of the week… RIGHT

RIght midlander takes it. No question.
