Mistakes New Players Make in FFXIV 

I hated that in elder scrolls. Really hurt me throwing good stuff away

Ah... I dunno how to walk until 6 months ago. This coming from a returner trade mentor

I didn't know there was a sprint button...I thought that most people in dungeons were PC players or had better connections.

This happened to me during one of the MSQ solo instances and I thought it was just part of the story for dramatic effect or something so I didn’t think much of it. Getting out of AOE’s was a bitch though especially as BLM lmao. Wasn’t til after I finished it and kept walking that I realized something was wrong. A quick Google search helped me solve the problem immediately though. Still really funny when I think about it

I did this. In Stormblood. During a Zenos fight. And I had no idea lmao

omg that should be the only way to do it XD

Saaaaame

LOL Honestly tho the beating stuff up with our weapon is the funniest thing

Yeah but if you think about it that's real life lol, we can't cast spells LMAO or maybe wait for it: You know you play FF14 to much when your trying to cast a spell to kill a fly!!!!

I'm going to make a D&D character out of your story for my next one shot. Wizard who doesn't know how to cast spells so they beat monsters to death and became a Barbarian by accident.

All healers have done this for sure lol especially now that there are so many healers, at first I would mistake other classes for healers that could revive me and remember feeling annoyed when I didn’t get revived. But don’t feel bad healing is really hard. You will wipe from time to time. It’s nornal

Another reason why I love playing a DPS with rez

I did this just the other day, same exact scenario LOL

I had the same experience, I got delayed by the cutscene and the seal was on and I died, it is the first time for me died in the dungeon and I was panic and don't know which button should use, wait or return, I was afraid that return will return everyone to the beginning of the dungeon so I choose wait and then watch my whole party wiped by the boss XD.

I recently started playing and a random player gifted me a minion, it caused me so much anxiety because I play with a controller and couldn't manage to find how to click the accept trade button. My SO finally grabbed my mouse as I cried out in frustration and clicked the right button. Sometimes being nice to the new guy can leave them feeling stressed out.

@@azurastar3223 😂👍

Someone was so mean to me (new healer here) the other day I actually wanted to cry lol

@@Haylormoon Just ignore them. You are there for the fun. I play alot of other game that has more toxic community (dead by daylight) than ff14. You can get used to toxicity. I'm not bothered anymore. I just ignore them and just have fun. And you can get banned for being toxic too. Maybe just report them.

@@Haylormoon i purposely haven't gone into a dungeon with my level 25 conjurer. I main Blackmage. I like sticking in the back letting everyone else worry about things. For the most part im ignored. If you get tired of healer try out black mage or Arcanist. Both are fun and mostly ignored by any toxic people.

🤣🤣

I appreciate it on a spiritual level since i originally found that feature accidentally, and then decided it was a good idea to do the whole story like that. Intentionally. Which I'm still in the process of doing for science, and memes. Doing a walkthrough ain't easy nowadays.

I met one early on during A Realm Reborn. I have a party of 3 and we are lacking a Tank, so we go DF. We found a tank that only use walk. At first we were annoyed but after a few minutes, we also walk alongside with him. Super chill run.

Warrior of Chill should be an achievement

oh god, the dungeons would be hilarious

That's the case when you have certain dmg reducing buffs like MNK's fist of earth. You'll survive falls with 1 HP (might only be the case if you jump with full health)

@@jeremybitar9831 actually the game only kills you with fall damage if it registers you as "in battle" if you're not then you'll always survive giant drops with 1 hp

@@jeremybitar9831 all class and job are the same, falls with 1 HP unless u are in battle

Yeah, otherwise the only way to 'jump' off without taking damage is using the dragoon skill as far as I know. But that has more to do with displacement on the x/y-axis of the game plane.

I was losing pretty badly to a mob and decided to make a break for it, jumped off a cliff but the mob got one more hit on me, cue death animation in mid air xD

xDDD

Thats a common thing for CS:GO players tho.

Terrorists Win.

That made me laugh..it had to be a troll. surely nobody is that dumb

@@luminoussun nah I've done it before XD

As a new player, I've not had anybody say to lb in a dungeon (I've been playing as a thalmaturge ) i have been using it when the last boss is at like 30% HP, but I think I've wasted it on trash once or twice.

THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT

@@k2k4 depending on what your doing, a lvl 3 lb will generally leave a boss a 1-2% if not outright kill it if you pop it around 10%. It's also worth noting Lbs do different damage based on the archetype of your job. Physical ranged has a directional with mediocre damage, magic has a large AOE with ok damage, melee has a high damage single target. Healers have a party heal/rez Tanks give a party shield (which you will probably never see unless doing high end content and even then it's rare.)

Yesss sameeee

If I see it, I have to do it, because I can't not click it. I like a cleared map.

I just got my friend into the game like a month and a half ago and she got up to level 60 by doing every side quest she saw.....she was only in level 30 MSQ...Godspeed......

I know that feeling so bad, I'm used to rpgs without the job system that ff14 has.

Same here, trying break the circle now

Dps? Your healer probably has PTSD from this run xD

I was scrolling going "glad im nit this bad. But then I seen this one. I did this.

I did the saaaame thing lol

I started FF14 a little while back but only got to level 34 and quit playing for a long time. I finally started playing again and I was playing the the main quests and got into a dungeon and didn't realize I was doing this. My healer on the team explained it too me which was really cool. Use to some games where people just yell and get pissed off. I thanked them for the info and decided after that dungeon I was going to watch some videos to learn more about how I should be playing my tank.

Omg I just recently started the game and did the same exact thing.

So pure 😂😭

hahaha

Omg I did the same thiiiiing. 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

I am crying. Iol

Lmao

There's something about STANCE under the Character tab window. Amongst all those things relating to your Minion, Mount, but above that. Traits, Stance...I think I've seen it there.

🤣Nice one 😂

Hey I was one of the layers that didn't get their job stone. I was a pugilist until level 42 lul. I'm thinking like others that did this why tf dont I feel like my class(a paladin). Welp that's why went and finished off the job quest(I did some but forgot/stopped right before lvl 30). Shit happens.

@Solaire of Astora What's this... game you speak of?

I'm enjoying my slow journey through AAR. I avoided most of the mistakes mentioned in this video. My mistake was that I started Arcanist and pushed to then get Summoner all the lvl 50 whilst not really enjoying the job. I mean it's not like I hate or dislike it, I just don't find it particularly fun. So I experimented. Did Gld to Pld 31 and disliked being a tank in group dungeons. Lnc is currently 27 and I'm getting drg to lvl 30-35 to see if I like it. So far so good. But what really caught me by surprise was conjurer. Solo it felt a lot like arc/smn which is fine. But group content... it seems I'm a born healer. I absolutely loved it so much I made a new character for it for role play purposes. She's already white mage lvl 32 and I'm loving it. I found my calling. So my advice to newbies is study each job as best you can on the net. Try to talk to players about the job and watch what they do in group content. If a job seems interesting at least get it to lvl 20 to get a good feel for it solo and as a team. I wish I'd discovered whm before I slogged through 95% of ARR as Summoner.

That part!!

Most girls: "The real main quest is to have fun!" Most boys: "The real main quest to ninja my frriend, kill everything in sight, and hurl out troll insults."

This is real life

😂

Rofl!! XD

This is amazing.

Holy fuck id cry for sure hahahaha

I was confused too. I picked the conjurer instead of the arcanist but i realized it early enough to switch to the arcanist just as i finished the lv 10 quest with the conjurer

Or better yet use f1-f8 to target party members

Well to be honest targeting can be annoying. I found I’m faster at healing with a PlayStation remote because it’s easier to scroll through people where as dps is more annoying to target for me.

same, but thaumaturge struggling to help cus by the time i targeted the enemy and started casting they were dead lmfao

@@tcoren1 good lord, thank you heavens for that one

What a chill group. God bless.

❤️

That's so rear for ppl to actually humor other's ppl embarrassing moment you got a good party there xDD

NUM/ is ur friend

This happened to me too and someone sent a message in chat saying "Astro I guess you accidently started walking and don't know how to stop? Press this key and you'll run again" They got my com that match and the whole party were wetting themselves at me and decided to walk too for a bit.

I had a tank do the literal opposite. Blue eyes meant run away. He continued running for about 30 secs

What I learned from doing Chimera (and I quote): "Purple - Go hug the mob" "Blue - Run the hell away" And my 1st time healing as a White Mage... I went in a wedding dress, NOT my gear. Lmao

He probably played final fantasy 11 where you had to spam /soothe on the behemoth boss in einherjar and /kneel on the Odin boss in there as well.

@@MrNicko555 I think that tank was me and now I wanna die ;_;

@@pelosuelto70 At least you looked beautiful

Same but very embarrassing for me bc I literally already played the game 150 hours but decided to restart from the beginning as a different class bc I hadn’t played for months but I’m level 25 and I still managed to forget you get your mount through a side quest and not the main one 😭 a comment on this video that I already saw months ago just reminded me 😂 this game has so much going on it’s easy to make mistakes but they’re not game breaking most of the time, just annoying

I'm downloading it at the moment, now I'm terrified :)

@@Writersexchange-ebooks honestly just read everything ! most people just glance at stuff wich is why they miss important things, like tool tips ESPECIALLY I just learned after 350hrs that as a tank the ability “arms length” can be use to slow down mobs auto attacks and skill usage ffs, that is pretty handy for your healers 😭

That's a technique called 'kiting'.

@@HamsterPants522 Thank you! Didn't know that is an actual thing. I'd stop my circles whenever other players come close in fear of looking stupid cause it's the easiest way to dodge for me.

This is how I completed some of my hunting logs against slow monsters. 😂

Well, it is one of those Blue Plus quests. Or was this WAY back in the day before those were a thing? (I played back in 2.0)

@@zidaryn It was back in 3.0, but i didn't really pay attention to every side quest at all. I was only focused on msq to catch up to my friend.

@@zidaryn i found this out too, i got to level 30+ and got my whm mount before reaching the company chocobo quest, you dont actually have to do any grand company quests to unlock seals since the next main story quest gives you just enough seals to get the chocobo license

But wait that's impossible since the final mission of ARR requires for u to get a chocobo, for the end cutscene

@@john_7000 Entirety really translates to like 98/100 quests or so. I don't remember the exact number, it being like 5 years and some change ago. I wasn't referring to ARR+ patch quests. Though if that were possible, i'd pity the poor soul that walked that lonely road.

I didn't even know I should be back to the entrance and wondered why everyone dissapeared! Two minutes after panicking what I should do the chat explained to me which button to press 🙈

Same!

Ugh I literally just had an issue like this, I took return off of my hotbar and freaked out when everyone suddenly started disappearing and couldn't find it in my actions and spells and had no idea you could type "/return" and other actions in the chat

@@idek5 You just taught me I could type /return and I'm in Stormblood. 🙈 I took it off the bar to save space and use the Travel menu!

I just did this.

I don't know if you mean "unlocking" in a different way, but the only req for job quests is job level...so you should have, now... 18 job quests unlocked? Lol +3 actually with the level 30 quests that bring you to your soul stone, so 21 quests to do!

@@henrykramer365 There is another requirement for the job quests: msq. I leveled up a few classes while ignoring the ARR msq XD. Meaning you unlock job quests both by leveling and msq.

You get a message in the chat if one of your items under 25% durability. :D

Thats good to know i had no idea

And here I was thinking I knew pretty much everything 😭 rpgs are my favorite kind of games so I always check and repair my gear but I had no idea this affected healing wth 😭😭😭 ?!

It does? Thank god I'm paranoid about my gear breaking, so I repair any chance I get lol.

Same issue

you crafted your own demise expertly.

Ok, this comment section is gold. You synthesized your downfall. 😂😂😂😂

Was it Aurum Vale? I tanked an AV with a healer in only crafter gear. My HP was in pain

@@aelanarbrightfield6817 the dungeon was "Sloppeh" despite is not even getting far enough to hear the line.

I tanked sunken temple in crafting gear thinking "eh it'll be fine". It was not fine and I got kicked bc the healer couldnt keep me alive lmao

Same happened to me a week ago. I was typing in chat like "help, i cant respawn, the button doesnt do anything" until someone told me after like 2 minutes, that i had to hold it down XD

Ah yes, the dreaded /return thing that no one ever properly explains. Because it was never explained properly to me, I decided to make it a habit of it myself. As a result, any time I see the message "one or more party members are doing this for the first time" (not exactly in those words, but you get the idea), I "type /return into chat, and it'll take you back to the beginning of the dungeon." And then proceed to do just that.

Same thing happened to me. Everyone left me in the room to oblivion. No one told me anything. Suddenly the a cut scene of the boss showed and after it was over, i was still in the room, alone. That was scary tbh 😅

.... Huh. Well, I learned something today (been playing for about two weeks now).

Thank god they reworked that dungeon, now there is a teleport on the floor so you don't have to type /return.

im level 75 in Shadow Bringers... I never knew this. Thank you lmao

one question about the part where you need to close the gate to stop adds from spawning I've seen nothing like that ever is used anywhere else? So is there anything like that anywhere else?

Also gives you mice gear to last you well into your second or third dungeon at least, plus that ring for extra xp below 30.

@@gtasthehunter It's really there to teach you that you can't just stand there attacking stuff and have to actually do mechanics.

TBH, I think you should not be allowed to queue for a duty in any particular role until you complete the hall of novice. There could be a pop-up directing a player where to go if they tried. I have encountered new players who didn't even know about the hall.

@@ericisbeowulf Well, the MSQ takes you there, and there's a Smith at the entrance to the 1st 3 dungeons, but it's optional to do it, I do think they should make you do at least 1 of the roles before doing Sastasha, though.

Gear is really poorly explained, like don't use tank/lancer gear on tanks, tank only gear has better stats for tanking, so why is the gear even tank/lancer?

@@Gee-xb7rt dragoons used to be able to tank back then. They had the marauder aggro weaponskill and keen flury as dmg reduction cooldown... Yes, it was weird

I had a tank with me in the Vale once... wearing a Woolen Robe... T'was the first time I rage quit a dungeon...

@@Mio_Rin lol, that is pretty bad, i don't heal often, and a lot of it is just trauma from undergeared tanks blaming me.

How????? Just read the stats!!! Look in character menu and it literally tells you what the stats do 🤦 use common sense.

Help this is adorable

So relatable. I’m pretty sure I did that too. 😁

This. Half the time, I'm uncertain when something is a boss mechanic or a friendly visual effect. I run away just in case. XD

As a DRG main this makes me sad hahahaha. We're like: COME FRIEND, LET US BE POWERFUL TOGETHER! SHARE THE BLOOD OF THE DRAGON! Other person: OH SHT what is this mechanic let's just run away and see if it disappears- Us: Friend? T_T

@@plusminuscons LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been playing since just before Stormblood, still hadnt figured that out.

Bless you. Going to be using this for bosses that're huge and/or require arena awareness.

Wh.. 2k hours.. i didnt know..

Handy :O thanks homie

I didn't even know this one

I did this with my DRG and I was freaking out when we went to face each boss! I had to dodge all the mechanics and stuff in first person and was on the edge of my seat every time a sound went off LOL!

@@aoiharuko8237 What key did you press? I didn't know you could go full first person and it would be great to know for landscape screenshots

@@thecatfromspace72 TheCat FromSpace I play on the ps4, but I think I accidentally pressed one of the joysticks to get into it and afterwards I figured out that I could just press it again to get out of the mode. I think the home key is what you use on the keyboard though :3

@@aoiharuko8237 Cool! Next time I get to play I'll see if its the home key and then maybe I can snag some cool screenshots. Thank you!

I used to zoom into first-person in WoW, running around going ham on things. When my friends watched my feeds, as I healed in first-person viewpoint, always checking the floors for AoE I shouldn't be in and turning to throw down my own, they lost their shit. I was just doing it because I am a very good healer, and was bored and having a blast trying something odd. It about killed them to see me do it, and that made it ALL the more worth! ^,^

OMG THIS WAS ME IN PREATORIUM

I did the same, although for me it was because I'm very used to how things work in WoW. People who instantly respawn upon dying are generally considered noobs, since ressing is preferable most of the time. I didn't know about any debuffs, shortcuts or whatever in ff14, so I lay on the ground and waited for someone to rez me for quite some time until people told me to respawn :D

@@max8m1 you say that but most people on wow still instantly release, fair amount of the time out of habit but still. even in serious guilds xD

@@MissEvanescenceFan It's usually the first thing my guilds drilled into recruits new to mythic (serious) raiding ^^

Same case with me, in my first run of Tam-Tara. But in that first run, our healer wouldn't heal me. At all. So I laid there for ages waiting for them to res me. Thankfully I found out sooner than later how to respawn but yeah. That was a disaster of a run, so I thought I was being a bad tank. And then our healer left in the middle of a boss attempt.

For reals. Quests never gave you decent xp before. Instead they would have you kill xxx mobs and 90% of your xp gain was from killing those mobs. I've only been playing FF14 for 5 days now, but I didn't understand why the MSQ gives you so much xp, and regular mobs give you basically nothing. Although dungeon mobs give you a ton. Honestly I like it better that quests give you all of the xp so the grind isn't as bad, but I'm still getting used to it.

@@GoodBoyGoneDad I have been playing for a few days and I keep finding myself doing this same thing. I will see my XP bar is maybe a thousand from level up and I will kill like 10 mobs and it will be good for only like half the xp. Where as in games like WoW you can totally top off XP with mobs of near enough levels.

@@MrZaboomafoo822 or me 😂

I think I just made an idiot move during Titan last night. I was a DPS trying to get out of the huge AOE and backed right up to the edge, and he blew me right off the cliff. Nobody could revive me, I couldn't restart, the rest of the group had to take him on their own. :(

@@autumnatic lol i was a dragoon and i was using a jump to get out of an aoe but i jumped right off the cliff xD

@@NimbleWimbIe I've done that on RDM when we do our backward jump. Right off the cliff. But at least I looked fabulous doing it!

Ur party did the right thing.

Well did your party try to tell you ? Cause i ran to the same kind of person where he again and again ran straight to the mob killing himself (he is a dps). We tried again and again to warn him but he keep doing that so we kicked him out

@@mch5546 bro just think. he can rev himself and go back to the beggining of the dungeon and go back to his party. and take things with calm and ask what he was supposed to do. its not that hard to understand. also it was a risk for the party if was literally 'trolling' in the dungeon.

​@@mrlogicks ​ InstaIock Exactly!!!!! But he Didn't. He just keep bombarding ahead alone. Dunno if he even read the chat. His behaviour is either complete beginner or someone that is drunk. I actually met someone that use skip potion to go straight to stormblood and lvl max Paladin. Got wiped a few times but the dude actually want to listen what to do and how to do better and we cleared the dungeon.

Back when ARR launched, dungeons where like that. Very chill and friendly players and was always a fresh view for a while. As the player base eventually shifted past that area, it started to go down hill to "move move move" when the wave of new players thinned and everyone was sick of running those first dungeons lol.

Wait, you can do that? They've just been sitting in a retainers inventory...

I just found LB exist watching this video :D

the worst part of it was my higher-level friend was standing a couple feet away and saw me do it

The first time I saw someone called out a S-rank mob in the map I was in, I went to the coordination and I saw 3 people stood a couple of feets away. me being an idiot for not watching where I was going, I accidentally walked pass beside the mob. I said hi to those people and died 1 second later upon getting hit by the mob. They all laughed and I said not again! (Yes I died couple of times before that lol). Thankfully, one of them was healer so I got ress xD Edit: the mob was lvl 80 and I was lvl 15 at that time lmao

@@h3llthing This actually reminds me of a time in WoW Classic when an opposite faction toon helped me kill a mob and then less than a minute later two people on my side just watch me die after I drew aggro gathering a quest item. I was like WTF... This was a PvP server too.

Lmao, at the beginning of the game i didnt know how to jump until next week xD

I did the same XD

In my mom's defense... she thought you couldn't jump because you can't jump in XI.

@@varia2354 XI vet here. just started up 14 cause it was free on PSN. i legit noticed you could jump immediately and thought to myself "...holy shit direct lines not blocked by annoyingly raised pixels?! MADNESS!" and then just yesterday while trying to run back to Ul'dah i'm like "is there fall damage in this game?" *drops off cliff, loses half health* "YEP! There's fall damage!" Total Achievement Hunter moment.

How? How the fuck does that happen?

Same, lmao. I see a side quest? FINISH IT! I want the map to be clear and clean of any marks.

I've started doing this since Heavensward.....but haven't finished the 2.0 map zone quests still >3>

I cleaned them all out while leveling my main in Shadowbringers. It was such a nice feeling to see those clean maps that I've been going back and clearing out the older stuff too. I cleaned out Stormblood quests while leveling Gunbreaker, and now I'm planning to do ARR and HW as part of the process of leveling White Mage. That might take a while... lol

I actually went back and did that for the whole game after finishing shb. =D

they are really good for leveling alt jobs. i got bard, machinist, and dancer leveled at the same time just doing random stuff, and it helps a lot with inventory management having them all roughly the same level. i'm sure some edgelord master of leveling will tell me i'm wrong, i should just level one job first, but they don't pay my sub.

Saaaaaaammeeeee... xD

Ive had that happen way too often with baby tanks. "Im trying to dodge the attacks" -_-

LOLOL

When tanks did this to me while i was leveling monk i just gave up and sat still while doing the rotations. The damage increase for my positionals was not worth the headaches.

everyone that has played monk ha sbin in that situation atleast once xd

BTW, for anyone coming here now. Sprint is still useful after getting your mount. It's commonly used in dungeons and raids, and sometimes trails. Tanks that like to do big pulls will often use sprint before entering combat and then use the speed boost to help them collect a bunch of mobs. In addition, because the tank has a speed boost, they are able to easily run by enemies and create distance between them. Causing the enemies to be too far away to hit him while the tank is pulling more mobs. It's a form of damage mitigation. When the tank activates sprint, the dps and healers should also active sprint. It is especially important for the healer to active sprint. That tanks wants to run ahead and everyone else should active sprint to keep up with the tank. Once the tank has decided they pulled enough mobs, in a short while they are going to be taking a lot of damage. If the healer is too far away, chances are the tank will die. Note for tanks, while your party members should be using sprint to keep up with you, it is also your job to know if they are keeping up with you. If your healer isn't keeping up with you, you need to adjust the pace. In addition, pay attention to the LOS with your healer. I've had a tank die because stairs broke LOS. If they were at the top of the stairs instead of a little past the stairs, it would have been fine.

Okay I know this is old but as a very experienced WHM, putting regen on the tank before they pull is a *good* thing. Not only does it give them regeneration, but if you do take threat on some enemies, you essentially become a tank cooldown, supplementing their health with your own. Just make sure that you bring those enemies to the tank so they don't keep hitting you. At that point, if they fail to take those enemies back, it's their own fault.

I first played the game as pugilist, but later became a tank main, so I've always been hyper conscious of the positionals for my allies. It sucks that the game doesnt teach tank players to keep the boss facing one way.

I was that monk 🤣

I was in that dungeon once while the new tank freaked out about his health dropping and starting running in circles away from the boss, making my character run laps around the area chasing the boss while throwing my lance at random intervals.... Man that was straight out from a cartoon XD

@@midiorch5295 A coward tank... incredible.

there is just way to much going on for anyone to get it right on the first try lmao

@@pentadunk bold of you to assume I have friends

I really feel this. I've been playing for a couple weeks but I watched a ton of videos to make sure I wasn't messing up. I still get anxious when I have to do a new dungeon, and I don't know the mechanics

@@gay_aliens I'm slowly learning that if you announce that you're a first-timer you'll get a lot of leeway, even moreso if you mention that you watched a guide beforehand. A few days ago I was the off tank for a particularly complicated boss and made sure to tell the other players I was a noob. We ended up wiping once (the main tank kinda slipped up on one of the mechanics) but I still got two player commendations out of it. I still get tank anxiety, but communication apparently gets you a lot of sympathy with the other players.

I once did an unsync extreme trial and played BLU to take a full stack marker alone with Diamondback + Mighty Guard while the other player kept dpsing. So yes, some weird exceptions out there...

I did get a pop up when my bard quests were unlocked, it appeared right under the MSQ box

@@casdragon_5939 That's relatively new. As of 3.55 there wasn't any.

I've gone through and looked at a lot of different jobs, but I play SMN and DRG mainly. The number of abilities that are unlocked simply by equipping the Soulstone is astounding.

@@Demon_of_Razgriz Of course it is. Thats what they are for, making your job complete. Just wish Square would automaticly equip them.....or autopromote you at 30.

Said it was useless... What a fucking idiot

@@adamthomas4462 I made a test...you have like 6 skills without the jobstone. DPS-Combo, Rolecommands and 2 CD´s....nothing else.

I feel like they were planning to have many different jobs for each class (like SMN and SCH), but then gave up and now we have this weird system that don't make much sense.

Haha yeah, it is a little hidden

When I heard that one I actually had to check if I had it unlocked

I could've been in the same situation as you if by a chance i wouldnt deside to check out what i have on my tabs, where i found stuff like hunting log, sightseeing log, challenge log etc. Damn those days were fun... and embarrassing...

I hope those two jobs were SMN and SCH.

Yup, I've been telling my friends that this isn't a game you play to "get caught up" and "get to the real game" at the end.

@@KRBadonkadonk and yet. You don't believe them when they tell you that. You think everyone is just trying to be nice but it ends up being the truth.

What's wrong with wanting to clear content when it's relevant? There's statistically significant amount of players that enjoy doing end game as fast and efficient as possible.

I came back after a long hiatus from the game and found my gear trashed. Now I compulsively repair my gear. Still not sure if I should rock staffs or wands though, my main reason for preferring the former soly being because I think shields are cool...

+Zeter Zero I have bad news for you buddy, You get a staff from 50 on. Mage shields and wands do not exist past 50. WHM main here btw.

@@BRBingeDrinker I figured that might be the case. Don't need a shield so long as you've got a tank. Still neat that it is an option even if it isn't optimal.

What does "are you green" mean? I'm guessing it means "are you ready" but maybe it means something different and less obvious?

@@Grimnoire Are you green means are you new lol

awww I'm sorry! i hope you'll jump back in soon. it was a mistake and a learning experience :) now you know!

Currently, I main a tank in A Ream Reborn. And, to tell you the truth, I think you just got a pretty lame tank! Tanks should NOT just rush into the boss fight without even bothering to check where the healer is. Tanks should not do ANYTHING if the healer isn't close enough, haha. XD Also, tanks should always keep an eye on the rest of the party! They shouldn't do things their teammates aren't ready for. If you'd had a more responsible tank, your experience of Sastasha would've been a lot less stressful. Anyways, though it may have been a tough thing to go through, I hope that hasn't kept you away from the game for too long. :) In FFXIV, I think one should just learn to not care too much what other people think. Sure, we try to help our party members to the best of our ability! But more importantly, we should have fun, grow, and be very gentle with ourselves as we try to learn the game and get good at it. :)

@@Philosophy.and.Tostitos Thanks, your reply does make me feel better. I did get back into it, but I'm going super slowly. Haven't even beaten the main story yet because I got sucked into crafting. I've also gotten a keyboard for my PS4 just so I can type faster, haha. I tried tanking at one point and thought it was ten times worse than healing, so I admire you being a tank main. 😫 If I'm healing, I get annoyed at a good tank leaving before I can give them my commendation! Thank you for your kind words! FFXIV is my first MMO and I'm so happy that the community is filled with mostly understanding and helpful folks such as yourself. 😭💕

Tadpole ah i see your one of them :)

Buying anything at the market-board for 20k when its literally 800 gil at a vendor.

hate this kind of ppls abusing actually new players not knowing that.

@@semiramisubw4864 ikr its super scummy. I learned my lesson the first time lol.

Yeah, stuff like that was common in WoW too.

Gonna be honest, i haven't been using materia at all. It's small boosts. I'll use them when i'm max level lol

So it’s been a week... not sure I like the game. I hate being forced to do dungeons.. period, they are stressful mostly because each person has a job to do and welp...archer gets to shoot from far away..which is what I like..but I know from watching videos that there’s more to it. I want to have fun and learning rotation some colored circles or other things about parties is not my thing. :( in WOW you can lvl and enjoy game play without dungeons at all. I got several characters to 120 just questing cause it’s possible, FF needs to add a high XP rewards to side quests so people like me will enjoy the game.

@@Chey60 play on a preferred server

@@goranlazarevic2613 yes we moved to malboro and I finished the game about a month ago. :)

Yo this resonated with me 'cause I had to airship myself to luminsa for the same reason :( I discovered the teleport accidentally shortly after 15 tho.

I know this comment is already fairly old, but I hope you see this anyway. I just wanted to say that almost 10 years ago now, I watched every single one of your videos and I'm very glad to see that you're still around today! I instantly recognized your profile picture, even after all this time! :) And of course I'm also happy to see that you too have picked up FFXIV in the meantime ;)

brb watching episode 15. Thanks for the great memories.

@@NekoNiaChan right there with you. Saw the profile pic and thought no way...

I know right. I run into “helicopter” tanks even today. Some of them are sprouts some not. Ironically MNK is usually the DPS I play most often. Sometime I think people are just fishing for a tilt out of me lol...

But if can be fun...at times lol

ROFL!!

I think it's a bit more of a PC concept though, in the console version, the descriptions are mainly accessed from the Actions window. I didn't know what she meant either at first, but yeah, I always read them through. Do I always understand them correctly?! NOPE! I've gone many levels misusing a skill, or blowing one off until someone explains to me it's usefulness.

@@EricBBarker Already finished ShB and still have no idea why WHMs can put enemies to sleep lol

@@carlos-zy7vx some enemies have abilities that can be interrupted by either a stun like tanks for instance have low blow to stun an enemy from using a powerful attack usually you can tell the powerful attack by the channel bar being red or in some cases you can put them to sleep to interrupt their big attack

LITERALLY ME RIGHT NOW

Omg yes, when the tank sprints into a room full of enemies and im just walking casting lots on gear drops lmao

Omg this! The first time I was playing I didn't notice I was standing near 5 crafters and I wondered why I kept hearing these tools noises lol. I had to walk to them closely and clicked on them to inspect like what are you guys doingggggg XD

I played a lot of mmorpg's, over 14 years I played a few different ones, and I just fucking learned 3 weeks ago that you can TAB TARGET ENEMYS.. I just felt like the dumbest person on this planet, but now I really enjoy playing FFXIV

@Timothy Clark Hahaha yeah it can. In ishgard restoration, I found a spot to quietly doing my craftings but then I saw this player came to me. Kinda hanging out. The next few hours and later became DAYS when I came back to the spot, that same player had took my spot lol!

@@srankhunterliz6843 For a while I didn't know we could click on the enemy list to change target and the fact of red spot beside their name would show that we have aggro. It was a struggle before finding out about that red thingy when I tried to play as tank haha

@@PsyFurion Lmao now I don't feel as bad anymore for mistargeting. Yes, there is, just press Tab to cycle through different enemies. ^^

I mean yes but no

@@rustyjones7908 for glamour yes 🤣

honestly you can do everything in the game without knowing any dungeon mechanics. makes it that much funnier when people take it seriously and yell at you for it.

@@trancebodega2739 You absolutely cannot do extreme trials and savage dungeons without knowing the mechanics. Because it's not just you who you kill, it's the whole party, or the healers economy, or the DPS to meet the DPS checks. Even in normal raids and dungeons, people get annoyed because it's not just your own experience you're messing up by ignoring mechanics, it's theirs too.

I just walked behind any monsters in overworld with the eye.. lol..

@@FaithOriginalisme most(or all?) of the overworld ones have AoE markers that you can avoid altogether by not standing in it, voiding the need to look back.

@@Gamemaster-64 Yup! so I didn't realize I needed to look away until I got turned to stone by a boss...

It's not just for RP, it can help with jump puzzles too. Not that there are many of those.

I was healing in Aetherochemical research facility when my cat stepped on my keyboard and hit the key to make you walk. I play on ps4. I didnt know the keybind. None of the party knew the keybind. The whole dungeon ground to a halt for 5 mins while we figured out which key it was. You are not alone with this LOL
