Getting Every Achievement in Final Fantasy XIV 

Mad Because Achievements

"White mage: the other Selene." 100% accurate.

I like how he goes from (paraphrased) "I'm such a l33t gamer, I only did normal once, normal raiders have smooth baby brains" to panic healing on a normal raid.

It would normally take 6 years, but it takes a while to build a ladder for the ones on the top shelf

Actually back in ARR days, I leveled a lot of alt classes with Leves. They were the fastest way to level, faster than fate grinding, and you can actually do them in parties.

If any streamer has a chance of being a completionist, it's Cider. Mainly because he's the only one who will try this pain. Now for him to complete the quest "Child Labor" he's clearly been stuck on for years.

Holy crap. Cider, I thought your absurdly awesome voice was just a thing you were doing for the videos. Hearing you go mostly unscrypted for a bit hammered in the fact that you just have that kind of voice and I'm here for it.

Any other achievement hunters out there? Which achievements have you been working on lately? >:D

I love this type of chill content. It's always interesting to see different people's routine in this game and videos like this are perfect to watch while you do your own dailies/weeklies.

I like this new series! It's one thing to watch streamers replay story content you enjoy, but there's something nice about watching someone go through the same somewhat tedious but still enjoyable weeklies/dailies as myself!

tip: if you sell the wondrous tails line zero item of 10k gil, one can double it by turning it into the doman enclave restoration effort. It's also another achievement. two at once.

You could also do ARR relic weapons while doing leves, one of the steps asks you to do leves with the relic equiped (and another makes you farm FATEs around Eorzea if you haven't finished the FATE achievements yet). 2 birds with 1 stone and all that

This style of video is honestly really fitting and nice to see!! I hope that you do make it a series on RU-vid, it would be really great to follow the journey over here and also just a really unique experience overall

i think the combination of your dry humour + your overdramatic narration + your commitment to the Bit really shines in these longer form videos! it's fun seeing more of 'you', rather than just a video meant to specifically entertain. plus, this was pretty informative. most players know achievements exist, but not exactly what goes into them or how much time. so i liked it quite a bit! :)

Your deep voice with your Lalafell feels like an antithesis of my high voice with my colossal Roegadyn... As someone also grinding out a bunch of achievements (mostly for titles and mounts, not completion), I sincerely appreciate your dedication.

Assuming Cider Spider lives on the NA West Coast, 1 a.m. is 8 p.m. to a Japanese player. And yes, people from other regions do play on NA data-centres (I’m a living example of one, the ping is manageable enough for this to rarely be a issue)

Best of luck to you on your quest to complete every achievement. Bozja and relic weapons can be rough, and levequest farming rougher, but there's an even bigger grind before you... THE MAHJONG. Again, good fortune to you.

Would absolutely love to see more of these, just found your channel recently and I love your editing/style of humor! Good luck on your achievement hunt! There's a bunch I'd love to get myself but I struggle to find people for a lot of the group stuff, can't wait to see where you go next!

Best of luck with the achievement hunting! Keep your spirits up for those - could be quite the arduous task ahead. Personally enjoying that kind of content. It's fun to see you comment / talk during more casual content like the roulettes or raids. Also, during the Fire I gaming: The Fire I BLM at the very least had more aggro than the other BLM. Not sure if I should be scared or concerned about that.

Love the video, as per usual. This is such a fun idea! I hope you don't push yourself too hard trying for this, and just take it at a comfy pace for you, but I'd love to see your journey!!

Also remember that those obnoxious Heavensward leves have variations that require TEN allowances per leve. Meaning to complete every levequest you have to do all those leves too. And there's 15 normal levequests per crafting job, gathering job, and 15 battle leves. So there's a total of 180 normal Heavensward leves....and 180 Large-Scale ones that will cost 1,800 total allowances. Also Fire 1 is necessary for Black mage to get Firestarter which they keep in their back pocket to swap from ice back to fire instantly. Fire 4 is the bread-and-butter damage but it doesn't keep up the Astral Fire timer, so they occcasionally need to Fire 1 to keep it going. Plus, you can't get to Astral Fire 3 without casting Fire 1 three times or casting Fire 2 once, which takes a use of Firestarter to avoid the massive casting time.

Actually, this was really fun! I hope we do get to see more of this series!

Good luck on your grind,Cider!❤️ And personally,I LOVE these kinds of videos. If you ever wanna do more of this stuff,I’ll support you in every way😄

I look forward to this series! Not only am I learning about some of these more nuanced achievements that are out there, but I get to see more of your (mis)adventures? Works for me!

Hey there Cider Spider. I was pleasantly surprised to find out you play on the same server as I do. I am currently in the top 100 on Diabolos. My rank gets thrown around a lot by all of the other achievement hunters going nuts. You never can settle with your rank since most people in the top 100 are hard grinders. You could get to rank 99 on the charts, but wake up being rank 103 the next day. Right now I am currently working on Anima relics, and it makes me wish I started on them a lot sooner since I didn't know what to do with my poetics for a long while. Now I am in Eureka ironically working on 1 relic to get poetics for 13 Anima relics. I recently finished up all of Immortal Flames grand company achievements. I only have Gridania left for turn ins and GC levequests, but I had to take a break from the grand company stuff. But back to you; I hope you enjoy the achievement journey. The nice thing about this game is that you can choose whatever you want to work on at your own pace. I would love to see more content about your journey, and I agree with you that levequests sucks. Can't wait to see you on the top 100 chart!

As someone who has been casually grinding this games achievements/playing for fun for 5+ years, this is really fun to watch and see the dedication to the grind. Making me want to get to that top 10 list on my own server now 💪 Looking forward to seeing more in this series!

I do hope you keep this up! It was such a blast to watch!

I really like this style of video and content, I hope to see more in the future. Keep up the good work, my guy.

Man, and I thought going for every trophy was going to be a pain in the butt. You're a braver man than I!

Honestly I can only imagine how much of a hell he's gonna have trying to get the High Roller title from the *How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Saucer* achievement.

Absolutely love this video. I just recently started grinding out all of the achievements as well and when I ran into Levequests, my heart SANK lol. Glad I'm not alone, and godspeed

Loving it-- cant wait to see more of your achievement grind unfold :D

Wow...I salute you for having the cajones to go after every single achievement. o7 Sorry you lost some of your footage though - that always sucks :( More updates of this soon? :)

Yes, do more of these!

This was very enjoyable to watch, Cider :) Thank you for sharing with us (and so sorry you lost this big chunk of footage! Always a discouraging nightmare but you made it even better by your dramatic narration!!). Since I finished all the stories and lost my best friend I played FFXIV with, I felt very disconnected with the game but WANT to enjoy it again. These little (or big!) challenges like achievements and little micro activities seem like such a nice idea to keep active in the game. I hope, even despite LEVEs being kinda annoying, you still enjoy doing what you are doing!!

I greatly enjoyed this video and I think I will like this series a lot. As a collector of... well, everything I can in XIV, seeing you work through the grind gives me hope for the ability to manage getting a good number of them myself. Great job on the video, good luck on the grind, and can't wait for the next update!

I've been working on "The Alpha Wolf" tittle for PvP. Triumph in 5,000 matches. Im pretty close to getting it too but im taking a break from the game for now.

The original video for the aquapolis achivement got me to check lalaachivements and decide to go for collecting all (non cash shop) minions. Now sitting at #1 on my home server, #31 Global (until next patch releases more of them to collect)

This video was a blast to watch! Would love to see more of this type of content

Ohh I love this new series! I hope it does become a series :D I love achievement hunting, it's going to be fun seeing more of that in video!

Fire 1 is really only useful below 90 to extend your fire phase after casting 3 fire 4s in combination with sharpcast to get the fire3 proc to make for safer fire phases. Especially good in high mobility fights so you have a few globals to move around.

I love how Cider Spider and I share the same worldview on commiting arson to orphan catgirls because of Wonderous Tails.

Loving the casual off the cuff Cider Spider experience, always glad when I can catch you on Twitch (when I have free time lol) cause of that, usually you going off on a tangent about metal but its great fun all the same. Keep this stuff coming :D

Enjoyed the vid, was entertaining watching you go through these Acheivements

Don't forget Delubrum Reginae also awards Raw Emotions :) looks like you probably need quite a few more of those Timeworn Artifacts, might even overcap on Raw Emotions before you're done.

I dig it baby man. The leve quest achievements more or less killed my interest in achievement hunting in XIV so seeing some one masochistic enough to swim up that stream is impressive.

I just listened to this entire video while doing dishes and was pretty entertained. So I do like chill content like this on your journey through your personal achievements hell.

Love the video, good to see someone taking the Journey. I started 3 years ago on the achievement grind. Currently at 21,765 in game. Your video is very familiar ground that I have already mostly tread. It will be fun watching you climb the ranks. I've been trying to get to top 100 on Crystal and have been failing for over a year. There are many of us on the climb so it's hard to make progress or even keep pace. Good Luck!

Im just waiting for the rest if shadowbringers and endwalker for your vids on them

This is good content tbh, and i say that as a person who has never forgiven u for killing me in pvp, apparently on stream.

Enjoyed watching this. You got this, Cider Spider! ❤

This was pretty enjoyable, I would love to see your continued progress.

"Normal mode gamers dont know how good they got it. i think we need to start making it harder on them" as a normal mode solo player, please dont. i come to xiv to relax and have fun T_T

A minor note about Fire I: Fire 1 helps extend BLM Fire Phase throw sharpcast intp the mix and it also gives you a Firestarter Proc so your next Fire Phase is instant and hits harder. Essentially the BLM Fire Rotation is F3 F4 x3 F1 F2 x2 Despair or some variation of depending on your spellspeed.

Watched a few of your videos but im a killer for achievement hunter videos. Do make more and keep it up, its great following along while I do the same mundane tasks!

I liked this video! It wasn't focused comedy but it is chill to listen to while relaxing and doing my own thing. It is also nice to see more content from you! So I say keep it up!!

This content is really comfy to consume. Would love to continue watching this infinite journey

I've only found your channel right now through this video, but I must say, this is an endeavor that I'm looking forward to continuing. That's a monumental undertaking and you have my respect. Though I noticed in your class window that your poor Blue Mage is still level one. Now that's something I'm excited to see, I think BLU is incredibly fun, definitely one of the most slept-on parts of the game, and would love to see you suffer through getting their savage achievements.

I can dig this. Its better when it's edited down and varied than just grinding away at one thing the whole time. Best of luck to ya man.

As a long time fan both here and on Twitch, i appreciate these kind of videos.

This is fantastic! x.x Thank you for painfully reminding me I need to get back into level grinding. (previously/currently working on the grand companies as well)

DUDE, im new in the game and was looking some FFXIV videos to watch since im diving in this world and loving it. And i found your channel and im CRACKING with your content. Hillarious and super duper well produced! You are THE ffxiv content creator. Thank you

You have a really nice voice to listen to and a positive attitude about the other players, so I'm absolutely for more of this content

I 100 percent just zoomed in on the cast bars of the double black mages for that whole dungeon 😂 it was like I seeing a unicorn

Definitely vibing to this kind of content. Keep it up!

I do not normally watch content creators for this game despite playing absurd amounts of this game myself, but I love this! It makes me wish i documented my mount collecting journey somewhere more public like this! Excited to see future installments.

I love this series. Definitely the kind of "background noise I can laugh at if I pay attention but don't need to keep my eyes glued kind of thing" that I need.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 14 for two years now. I can honestly say there isn't a single content creator for this game that I enjoy watching except you. 99% of all the content I consume for this game are just tutorials on how to do dungeons and stuff. However, your content is thoroughly enjoyable. I think you're somewhat crazy for doing something like this, but that's also one of the charms to it. I love your videos and can't wait to see more.

Love the chill content. Would like some more explanation om which achievements you have, what you needed to do and grind for them. And which you still have to do and what you have to do for them.

Please keep doing these, they're great!

Yay, I saw myself in the video😂. love the vids man! Keep it up

This has been brilliant! More pls

True that this kind video is different from your usual content. However I really enjoyed the video. I would enjoy seeing both kinds of content . It will help keep things fresh.

I really like this type of content! Keep it up! :D

The way I was cackling when you got no lines and cut to setting Khloe on fire. Subscribed.

Gotta respect this level of dedication to the grind! Also love the Selene x WHM comparison 😂 (SMN main here) I look forward to the next video in this series!!!

love it, would def love to see more

Very chill and enjoyable, and I learned new things about achievements! I say if you're feeling it then go ahead and post more, it's fun to see Small Baby get Big Achievement Numbers

I love this, I'd love weekely/ or whatever suits your schedule

Honestly, I thought this was a lot of fun! Really entertaining and enjoyable. Definitely a fan!

I like this! If you make more of these I will watch them. Fun chill vibe to them that I like!

Good luck in your achievement hunt! And I'd would totally watch casual content. It's chill, just like your voice. 👍

excited for this series!! 🎉

I was not aware of Lalachievements. I both thank you and curse you for introducing me to it.

CIDER PLEASE, MORE OF THIS. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED.

a great video to watch while doing praetorium, keep it up my guy

You absolute madlad! Good luck.

Just discovered your channel and I love it! As a new FF14 player, it's fun to see a veteran still grinding all the content

Engagement for the algorithm go! Id love to see more of this style of content from you, this was a lot of fun :)

I never thought I'd find myself screaming at the screen "EAT THE BALLS CIDER" but here I am doing exactly that.

Love the new content, please keep the prog coming!

I loved this watching you go through the weeklies with some humor

I started this endeavor a few years ago and I am now top ten on my server ! Keep up the good work and good luck. I think it's worth it.

half way thru vid, and i'm loving the commentaries

People that feel like there isn't more content to do, need only look for it. Good luck Cider!

I’m new to the channel, enjoyed the video, subbed, looking forward to the next one! ✌️

Great content Cider, I laughed a lot at leve quest as I also did the math back in the day and then and there gave up on getting every achievement lmao respect

Id love this as a series, and something to watch along with grinding achievements

loved the video and even reminded me of some side things i could do to level alts. so thank you for that. would love to give you a spot on my second monitor while i do similar task lol

Would like to see more this was great! The hand drawn achievement XD
