I Cleared All of the Daily Roulettes for Tomestones [Final Fantasy XIV] 

"What is Thaliak even the god of?" -a scholar main

The "bears" segment in Porta Decumana had me in tears, but "van Bearsar" still managed to catch me completely off-guard. Almost choked on my water when that came up XD

"The end has come" x50 lmao The edits on that Zodiark fight were the best xD

I would be down to see a "day in the life of having fun in FF14" video every now and then. The achievement of work/life balance is the real hardest grind.

I laughed at the Lahabrea "cutscene" there more than i really should have b e a r s

The P in Yoshi-P stands for "Please dont guve me Praetorium in roulettes"

6:52 "Why is my weapon pentamelded with piety?" I might have a certain crafter in mind in could have done such a thing

29:10 I've had a 50 min Ultima run, so I can confirm, dying on phase 2 doesn't restart the encounter, it just goes back to the post cutscene time.

Wait a minute, what do you mean it isn't Monday anymore?

I am such a child. " the end has come, come, come, come, and it will be beautiful" Didn't think guild hests gave tombstones. But I know daily frontline does.

I understand your healing comments. As a WHM main, healing with a different job causes some hesitation on what skills are needed, and the like

"A spell without parallel: Bears" sent me

The Page 63 book minion comes from Great Gubal Library (Normal), but you can also get it from Bronze trimmed Sacks from POTD, or from the Aquapolis

I'm losing it over "the end has come........ come...... come....... come......" EDIT: Never mind, the Ultima part has slain me. Remember me. Remember how I bears.

The juice jugs you mentioned during the raid are Barrel Hugs (use them for the nephews). And the goddess hug flavor would be Blue Raspberry... just because.

"Unleash bears". That's what Larian said when they released BG3

The "bears" section killed me. 🤣🤣

i love it when he said 'bears' and then beared all over the youtube video the edits in zodiark and ultima got me lmao a shame you had to go through zodi playing whm, but at least it afforded you an interesting exp :P

"The world shall tremble! UNLEASH..... bears." I DIED

Well, given that it's Thaliak's fight, I'm guessing that the Magic Space God Hug is wisdom flavoured. But also considering that the next fight is Llymlaen, it could also just be her bath water.

The glorious femroe, Midlander of the Week, the Cutscene Viewing DRK, and the other White Mage who carried on the Zodiark run were happy to be there, even if most of us got owned by the george foreman grill. "Is that Mad Because Small? I think that's Mad Because Small. I'm gonna say hi." "You lali-ho'd him." "Lali-ho means hi." Meanwhile Cider looked up at Zodiark and said, this mfer said "come."

I did not expect a mini YTP in this but I'm glad it was there.

IDK how you managed to summarize my entire journey as a WHM in this game, but "I got distracted by the healthbars" is pretty much it.

Against you, Cider, Shisui of the Violet Tides was probably my favorite dungeon in Stormblood. ^_^

Hunt trains were how I finished all my Manderville relics since it's relatively easier than doing mechanics in roulettes and triple dips in capped tomes/nuts for 660 gear, uncapped tomes for relics, and hunt achievements (still need 2.4k A ranks to reach 10k)

"White Mage at 50 sucks." I couldn't agree more. It's so heavily reliant on Lilies these days that going back to a level range before you had them is just painful. It makes me dread even queuing for things like Alliance Roulette as one since we still get CT more than anything else by far. But maybe we're just spoiled... :P

Never thought I'd be reminded of the good ol' days of 25 cent hugs and the magical hug is clearly grape, the lowpoly ones straight from labyrinthos.

Lahabrea: "Behold, the magic of BEARS!" *Bloodmoon Ursaluna appears from thin air* Bloodmoon Ursaluna: "WHO DOTH SUMMON ME FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL? THEY SHALL KNOW *FEAR*!" *ROAR*

On the "can't do anything while running from room to room" part, you totally can! Regen the tank, and then go down the aggro list and cast Dia on every mob. It will knock a few percent off each mob's HP while you're running and ultimately make the trash pulls that much faster. Also for Scarmeglione or however you spell it, you can put out literagy of the bell after the add phase and that will keep everyone topped off while those AOEs hit.

Hey, another Azeyma patron! I knew I chose wisely there. And I do love how much Lahabrea loves bears.

Seeing the other capped tomes hurt me, and I know that was the purpose of it. A+ psychic damage to me, keep doing it!

Yeah, Alliances peaked at Orbonne Monastery. But I think you said the reason why in the same video: people didn't want fun, they wanted the in and out of Crystal Tower. So the devs probably double downed on making it easy on the massive amount of new players AND the people that just wanted easy tomes. So among blaming Yoshi-P, the devs, or new players, I blame us. Or some aspect wanting the easy daily grind. But that's what expert is for.

"Who gave him tenties" my money's on it was Lahabrea's idea, given #JustBreadThings

"Those 2B leggings might be the only thing that got me through this dungeon" Truer words never spoken.

When you take Urianger into a trust dungeon, he has an instant death spell, where he says ALL THAT I AM, AND MORE, I BRING TO BEAR!! My friend and I meme on Urianger bringing his bears all the time. I was not physically ready for your "bear" edits oh my FUCK.

The ultimate weapon cutscene edit had me laughing so much

Aww, I love the trash mob boss of Troia. Might be because I really only play tank, but having a boss that was so radically different and where you really have to think about how you use your AoE OGCDs was hella fun

Perfect timing! Im about to go level miner and needed something to watch!

"Come" - Gaius van Bears Edit: On Porta Decumana, if you die in the second phase of Ultima it does checkpoint to the second phase. Yeah, wiping is awful. Edit: Do not disrespect Knowledge Daddy. Knowledge Daddy is hot, and he knows things.

behold: BEARS.

“Oh my god, the Paladin is casting Clemency. Why don’t you trust me?” I ask myself the same when they cast it above 70% health 🙃

Those Zodiark edits 🤣🤣🤣 28:36 that cheeky bear. I'm crying XD

Actually cried laughing at the bears bit. My god.

I remember drinking Hugs as a kid and those papercuts hurt like a mf 😅 And I'll say the giant Hug in the sky is grape blue raspberry flavor 😋

I very much appreciate you just making a RU-vid poop out of the Lahabrea cutscene.

23:42 omfg the "come, come, come" combined with the viera voice had me fucking dying 💀💀💀

As one of the Tanks for that fight at 21:00 I'm so sorry it was my first time doing it lmao.

The end has come, come, come, come... And it it will be beautiful!

I like the idea that the elemental aether somehow works better if the aesthetic matches the element, so since Zodiark is using a lot of dark aether some guy in Amaurot was like "okay i've calculated a 22% increase of efficiency if we give him tentacles and demon horns" and they just added it same reason pandemonium looks like hell

Dude i love your editing so much :D it makes me crack up so much XD

You had me laughing like fool at work with that Ultimate Weapon edit. And yes I remember Hugs. Always wanted to buy the big 12 pack that was like 2 dollars

"I was fully prepared to sacrifice all of their lives." My new gaming mantra. And Porta Bears can be failed when idiots stand in Citadel Buster. You restart at phase 2, thank goodness.

Had the dps both eat the citadel buster constantly as scholar because they didn’t care, ultima just resets to second phase

That Bear is certainly a spell unparalleled.

"On White Mage you have to just stand there and take it." >Laughs in lilybell

Honestly I've been worried with your work/life balance since you've been so on top of your achievement hunt for a long while. Content creation really is a beast of its own and you have been taming it well. I love your personality and sense of humor regardless of what you play or what your XIV goal may be for the week! I really enjoyed your Mincraft video, so I hope to see more of that too! Take care, gamer. Don't let the burnout catch ya!❤

In dungeons as a WHM, the majority of your normal healing is just hots. I try to keep hots on the tank at all times. Also, the stun from holy lasts long enough that I usually weave in a medica II after the first, to get the max stun duration and get some hots out. After HOTs, the instant heals from your lilies and tegrogram are your next go to. Tetrogram is an OGC, so it’s pretty easy to weave in. I never cast cure II unless it’s free. Spamming cure, will cause cure II to proc a free cast.

that hug is 100% blueberry and you cant tell me otherwise

29:04 for the record, you restart at phase 2. We wiped at the Ultima phase once, because the tank DC'd and we lost the Limit Break gauge right at that time. lol

Hunt trains were my saving grace with getting tomestones for the manderville relics

"We can improve the White Mage kit by making it Scholar,". -CiderSpider, 2024

>We need a monday video Cider out here getting me worried I missed work for a second

Can't wait to run into you doing extremes in mentor roulette Cider! It's been a hell of a few weeks in Mentor Roulette land.

Man that Ultima Weapon reimagined cutscene was unBEARable 🤣🤣🤣. I laughed so hard.

8:00 I liked Abyssos too. I received of it Death, and was honored. And eventually, vice versa. P8s p2 is one of my favorite fights out of Pandemonium, and that voice line has lived rent-free in my head since.

Dungeon WHM pro(?) tip: when running between mobs, I just slap aero/dia dots on as many of the enemies as I can before all the mobs are pulled and we stop. And yes, WHM before afflatus misery sucks. Because I don't want to be banned IRL, the hug is probably pomegranate flavor. Truth be told though, I don't actually know what those are.

Thaliak is my patron. His hug jug is full of purple drank. He did partake of his own hug jug. Tried to conjure sacred geometry to impress us and all that came out was triangle.

The Zodiark trial was real. When I got there during the MSQ I experienced my first full 60 minute lockout ejection. The stars would fall, we would lose 2 - 3 people and 2 - 3 more would have vuln stacks. Then he would to the corner to corner and a couple would go flying. Then he would multi hit stack and the understaffed and half vulnerable survivors would just be beaten to death. Every. Time. So many just couldn't keep up. Thank God we got him on the second try.

EW A trains are a great source of tomes

"the end has come" "and it will be beautiful... come" i don't remember zodiark saying come that many times on my playthrough

Lovely video cider!

I only just found this yesterday at work, idk how i missed it the first time! The "bears" part had me fuckin dying of laughter. AND THE BEST PART?? Lahabrea's voice actor in ARR is Kyle Hebert ("eh-bear" is how i've heard it pronounced) and the edit is so perfect. +10 Mister Spider, i applaud you

Patiently waiting for Blue Mage content.

TIL I haven't run MSQ Roulette since...*checks notes*...6.1, because Porta Decumana was completely new to me. They actually split Praetorium up and made it not suck quite as much? And this happened...*checks notes*...two YEARS ago? Holy cow. O_o Also, the bears had me HOWLING.

i warn you spider. Mentor roulette has a couple stinkers in it that you don't wanna get. Especially as a DPS mentor. Rumah EX Seaph EX (Scales lady) WoL EX / Hades EX But you can also get GUILD HESTS in mentor roulette and we know how easy those are.

The most terrifying of all spells, Bears! I would hate to be on the receiving end of that one... >.>

Shisui of Violet Tides has the bestest gear sets; tube tops and short skirts? Yes and yes! Do try a glam set!

The big God Hug has to be blue raspberry

Just wanted to pop on here to say I really enjoy watching your videos. I feel Iike my feed is flooded with negativity but this channel and gtlive are giving me life rn LOL so thanks ❤

Why not do some A trains hunts? Easily the quickest way to get books.

Cider Spider just casually dropping a funnier YTP edit than most actual YTP videos 6:18 why stop there? just change it all the way into Sage and it'll be even better :P

lahabrea displays his right to bear arms

The flavor of the colored hug jar thing is "berry". Not any particular berry, just the idea of berry flavor.

Lahabrea being into bears is truly the most based thing I've seen in a while

the edit on laha's speech XD

"I got distracted by the health bars; I wasn't paying attention." That is me as a whm main on the daily....

Honestly Cider, I just enjoy seeing you game. It's good to have a goal but sometimes you really need to break from that goal and do things that are chill. Don't burn yourself out just for us. Last thing we want you doing is making the game a second job. Just enjoy yourself and if you wanna work at a goal, do it when you feel you can, no pressure.

Van Bearsar Thanks I snorted my coffee at that one

That is a blue flavor Hug. Blue is a flavor.

21:43 The end has COME....COME...COME...COME, and it will be beautiful.

never knew the barrel drink from my childhood was called "hug" i have learned something new today

Those sound edits were amazing.

Thanks for making the next 20 Lahamonologues more BEARable... Also, I feel like whatever the color, that Sky Hug is "grape" flavored.

"Finger of the Apostate" always makes me think of something else...

I kinda wish you had edited in Athena's TREMBLE on top of Lahabrea's in Porta Decumana. This concludes my algorithm-mandated engagement. Your achievement series prompted me to start working on getting checkmarks on every leve in the game. Heavensward is devouring my soul, four Large-scale leves a week.

black mage at level 50 is straight up one of the most free jobs in the game. literally your only slight challenge is keeping the thunder dot up

The editing is really good, appreciate the effort!... Even if the vid does get posted on.. second Monday? 😂

My dumbass started healing as Astro for the ✨vibes✨ and did not take into account how many buttons need to be pressed in between every gcd (with my EU ping).

Van BEARsar *wheeze* Also the Cosmtic Hug is flavored Cotton Candy

"this is but a GLIMPSE--" really got me lmao
