Treasure Hunting is Awesome! - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #29 

fun fact, maps are one of the few things blue mages aren't banned from, and since they can use any spell at any level, they're very strong even when synced

i love that "Child Labor" has been on his screen for months

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CAUSED THE ZALERA MAP SPIKE RIGHT BEFORE MY GROUP WENT IN!

The map grind is a GRIND, but oddly because its the easiest thing me and my friends can jump on and do we have really started getting close to a lot of the achievements. The money is really good.

BLU is a better pick for solo map dungeons (80 and below tiers currently.) You can vibe check the overworld mobs and any normal adds that spawn in the roulette dungeon and with the right tank/healer set-up you get to run Basic Instinct to remove the 40% damage drop from Mighty Guard while doubling damage and healing. It's what a friend of mine does for the achievements.

YOOOOOOOO I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GETTING INVITED TO THE MEDIA TOUR! WELL DESERVED!

Cider "oh well I guess I am not invited" JesseCox have a legendary poker face but you are a close second, i wouldnt play cards with you either

The potato seeks the deepest chamber of the Aquapolis. Twenty times.

"I saw 'Sewer Water' and thought of St. Anger" Amazing joke

Ah, treasure maps. Shout out to my one friend who come into the dungeon as the only healer in a 3-man party, died on floor 2, and then had to lie dead on the floor for like 10 minutes while we got all the way to the deepest chamber and fully completed the dungeon without them. They got far enough away that they de-loaded for us and didn't get to roll on all of the loot.

Hope you enjoyed going to the media tour!

What's the luckiest you've ever gotten in a treasure dungeon?

Oh hey I was one of those idiots that helped on stream :D glad I could help with the achievements

That Child labor quest on the side is kind iff funny with a Lalafell working their ass off to get achievements.

There's an achievement and title that I desperately want from level 70 maps - Invoker of Gods. Have to clear the roulette map dungeon 20 times and I'm currently sitting at 3. It's pretty difficult to find people for, but your video makes me want to learn how to solo with BLU because I think that's the only way I'll end up getting it done.

DAMN media tour AND vacation. Vacation def well deserved

Wise man say: "Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for treasure maps."

Because of your constant references to Yoshi P I ended up naming my Yoshi in Paper Mario Thousand Year Door "Yoshi P".

HEY, Zalera player here! I.... ... do not care enough about treasure maps to spam them, no.

I used to have a LOT of luck with maps in Stormblood. ShB and EW just none. Ever. My theory is that once you hit 100 mil gil you get nothing and all rewards go to your other partymembers. I don't have to get something all the time but once in a while would be fun, so I just dropped doing maps.😢

ive been soloing level 60 treasure maps for a while, i just gather one a day and run em when i have 3 or 5. last month, i got two full clears in back to back runs! up to 10/20 full clears of the aquapolis

Lil lala didn't equip their parasol fashion accessory to protect from all those gilden showers ;(

Directions unclear I've multiplied the likes by 0.9 Edit: His rank, IT'S UNDER 9000!!!

When you gonna start fishing for every fish, skybuilders score for all land and hand, and all deep dungeon solo?

17:29 Cards can repeat, in fact you can even get the same card as what you drew first, if you get that it just gives you a new random first card to bet against!

wow i had no idea i could sell my treasure maps ive been colleecting till i had flying.

I was watching Sarah's video and saw you, so glad you got to go! Looking forward to the videos!

Aren't there solo maps as well? Are those worth doing?

I'm the Zalera homie forcibly devaluing treasure maps with aggressive undercutting because I don't have the patience to sell them at market value.

Cider, you are one of my favorite youtubers right now, BUT YOUR MONEY HABITS GIVE ME HIVES!!!! YOU HAVE 89 MILLION GIL! (lord knows how much you may have on retainers) 50K IS LESS THEN .1% OF YOUR MONEY!!! If you spend the money on diabolos it will make the market go down because people will mark stuff less overtime.... 😢 .... Then again I'm on Couerl. Keep making my MB cheap as balls please 🙏

hi love ur vids

Aw man. I've done all the treasure map dungeons on my warrior and that dumb golden candy cane guy is the hardest one.

I've been soloing Kumbhiraskin maps since November 2022, and just passed 700 million gil. Looking forward to gil cap

Why would anyone think of Metallica's worst album?

Warrior is indeed the easiest job XD That's why I do it LOL I actually JUST watched a video of someone doing a new dungeon without a healer, and doing WAR main >.> If that doesn't tell you, idk what will

Yeah fun for now. Soon enough you'll realize the Treasure Map achievements are some of the most torturous in the entire game, second only to PvP. Achievements locked behind RNG should not exist, nobody likes the feeling of wasting time.

Ok, I'm sure this has been asked in a video before, or possibly explained, but do you do Voice work? I swear you sound like Optimus Prime and other various voices in commercials/games/movies.

If your desk is bumping into your mic stand, you might get some kind of foam or padding and wrap it around the mic stand where the desk hits it. Should reduce the noise.

It's okay. Dont push yourself Cider

The chance of getting Atomos'd has been way too high for me and the odds of that Atomos getting struck has been maybe once for every 80-100 maps, except one night when for some reason they almost all got zapped

been playing the game for almost 4 years and I've never done a single treasure map

Hey Cider, I'm gonna give scholar a shot, would you consider doing a video on your hotbar? I'd like to learn using your setup so I could follow along!

@CiderSpider you should be an announcer or narrator for a fighting game or PvP game. thats how good your voice sounds lol

Damn, I am so jealous you got to go to the media tour, that slaps. You deserve it, your content is great fun!

blue mage insta-kills most shadowbringers mobs. also you only really need 3 ppl, 1 tank, 1 dps, 1 healer and good to go.

I will never understand how people make money on treasure maps. I’ve done so many of all different kinds and got absolute junk each time. I no longer to them.

high level treasure hunting is definitely a thing that's a million times faster in a group

You could also call it....a gil-kakke 😏

Bluemage - Healer mimic DOT cheese strat can solo the entire portal start to finish ez pz after you figure out the rythm.

Still abusing that direct line to Yoshi-P for fun and profit, I see.

You thought of St anger because that is where that album belongs.. no disrespect to metallica but that album was Sewer Water at its best.

Anyway, this is what you can spend mogtomes on! For maps.

Soloing treasure maps as WAR is one of my favourite things to do.

Now that we’re on the topic of maps… Those thief map achievements are interesting aren’t they? 😅

When are you releasing your Kids Bop mixtape?

awesome job. hope your vacation went great.

went to media tour and instantly got blessed by yoship with 2 elder summons

You should invite some people to the treasure map dungeon with you.

fishing is awesome, but you aren't touching that are you

congrats on the invitation and good on you for being one to take vacations! life is short! youre doing great!

Note to self, go follow stream so I can join in for the hunt now I have a NA alt and can join

i slap the shifting altars sphere for good luck before each roll

Treasure maps are the fun way of getting money. In a party 😂

Please, I need the kids bop version of Last Resort

do this on BLU instead. So make faster and safer on BLU

Okay so rq Uhh, are maps actually good for money? My FC mates and the general consensus is that they're worthless and now I'm seeing people in here say that they’re great for money (which is what I think is true) So like straight up honest answers, which one is it?

I did 5 of these the other day on blu. Had 0 portals pop.

Patiently waiting for Blue Mage content.

I have fond memories with treasure maps because the best runs I had were either random and wholesome groups at 3 am or via twitch streams. The Mad Baby here got me my Deep Canal Dweller and now that I'm back on NA servers I'll try to join them whenever I can! It's always a chill fun time, making money, taking lives.

I guess he is learning about the Bear and the bees.

Ciderspider real human jumpscare

seeing him do it on warrior hurt my brain

Decimated the like button.

For some given reason, I didnt got the achievement for killing 50k enemies until yesterday. Also got GNB and MCH to 90 plus the 10 victories on Seal Rock with Maelstrom with probably other achievement I've forgot

The gap in map prices is crazy. Most maps sell up to 10-15k on Elemental. At most, I've seen 25k-30k for Boarskin but that's it.

Next time you do a map video, consider zooming in on the glam preview. A picture is worth a thousand words, "that's why it's so expensive, that looks sick!" ...I'm a 90's kid, apparently I'm old now for saying "sick" instead of "fire". Also, you're going to trigger all the map bots getting your viewers to rush like that. With a bit more planing, you could give people a chance to farm using their allowances. You could even make a stream event out of it, like "come to this spot at the bottom of the ruby sea right now and get your daily map, idiots" lol

The fact that you call yourself Cider Spider, but drink Rum, is hilarious XD

stupid rockman returns

Remember people, owner need is typically a scam. They've got a friend in the party who will ALSO need on anything good and then get "kicked out" and split it with them latter. The only safe groups are FFA or "everybody need".

You know, if I wanted to get that PS5 trophy for raiding the Excitetron, I should just join your stream, Cider! I mean, you guys easily kill it! ^_^

Zalera Player here, We don't care too much about them because everybody keeps overcapping on their maps on a weekly basis for drunken map nights on fridays and saturdays. I may be a lunatic who plays DRK, but trust. We just have a ton of them.

Status update: Lalachievements score 16,470. Not much to report. I finished the EW FSH splendorous tool, and so picked up Vrandtastic: Lodestar Fishing Rod, because the gatherers require very little actual investment to finish beyond time. I've started spending excess scrip to buy the mats that I'll eventually need for the last two crafter steps, but I don't expect that to go anywhere any time soon. And that's basically it. I did end up fully pentamelding crafter and gatherer gear, for reasons. Spent about a million blue cowries on materia. Only other thing I've been working on is getting more involved in finishing ARR relics, and that's not for achievements since SE couldn't be assed, it's just so I can clear out all the inventory slots that mats are taking up in my inventory. I have about 2/3 of the alexandrite I need for materia step, and all of the mats I need for quest step, but I still have to finish book step on 4 jobs, so I've resumed working on that, trying to do one book a day to keep from burning out on it again. Nothing else to report.

You can solo the treasure dungeons quite effectively with Blue mage. It doesn't take forever, but you do need to pay attention because the tankbusters and stack markers do hurt a LOT. I grinded out the Invoker of Gods title mostly via Solo bluemage, and that was before we got the lv 80 stuff.

I went to the stream page when you said you'd be streaming in 2 hours and then realized it was Past You I wanted to do maps SO BAD

back in shadowbringers in random map groups everybody passed on cloth-softening powder because it wasn't selling for much... i hoarded it and i can't believe how much the price went up

I was one of the idiots who made the joke, "Cider Spider got invited to the media tour!" and then even more stupidly believed you when you said you weren't. Remind me to never play poker against you.

I have done like 6 light party treasure dungeon with my friends and it's always a blast because our teams are never the same( I think the funniest was astro and scholar,the GUNBREAKER ( me) and a dancer)

What time do you stream

Capitalism Dragon

Lalafellin Warrior's Primal Rend is one of my favorite animations in the game. Love running treasure maps with my FC crew whenever I can!

1337s like. ganggang

Damn. I need to try and get in on a Spider map run. I have like 200k.

Congrats on the media tour invite! You deserve it! Me and my gf were watching this and I said "I wonder what charity nineheart will look like with the graphics update" and she busted out laughing since I'm now calling your character by their name lol

I’m quite curious how far you’ve gotten into the triple triad grind! Not sure if that’s up your alley or nah

A friend and I started duoing the level 90 ones for a while, it's not nearly as relaxing as doing it with a group but it's pretty fun!

the rich gamer mentality of calling 20k gil "nothing"

Hell yeah i love treasure maps! My friends and i run a bunch every week! It's Treasure Map Tuesdays!!

Cider, I just have to say that I now recite the intro along with you every week. Someone pls send help

Fun video 🤟

22:46 TALOS!!!
