[@Tailionis]

I've done all of these and boredom? Nope never! I will never get bored of this game.

[@Maria_Erias]

I've been using this time to catch up on old side content that I've skipped over. I only started playing about 4 years ago, so there's plenty of old raids, the older beast tribes, and optional trials and dungeons that I haven't unlocked yet. I've also recently gotten stupidly addicted to fishing. There's something deeply satisfying about catching those fish that only bite in certain conditions.

[@zacharyruffatto9685]

The moogle event got me back on ocean fishing for the first time in a year...that got me back into fishing in general and now big fishing. I might never get the big fish title ( too many schedule conflicts) but maybe the irresitible lure.

[@AltaniNerdAuRa]

2:41 I'm Minnesotan. You don't need to sell me on Fishing being fun! I come from the Land of 10,000 Lakes! We got a whole song dedicated to fishing for one fish. The State Fish... the Walleye! (Which needs to be a fish in FF14.)

[@AeeanPlays]

as a fellow minnesotan, i agree

[@deepstonecostco]

I second doing the Beast Tribe quests! They add so much context to the various races, have unique rewards, and if you do them in order of expansion then there's a secret connecting questline of sorts between maxing out each xpac's group of tribes ;)

[@chrisrounds1242]

Thanks for the video. This was something I missed from your previous fun-loving, joyful videos. I enjoyed it and, again, THANK YOU

[@ryanweible9090]

id also say with tribal quests, some have cool stories, especial the newest ones from endwalker, the one race(we will call it cafe to avoid spoilers) is actually super hopeful and undoes some of the darkness of the main ques, so they have some fun lore. plus if you just felt guilty about killing thousands of them, this can let you roleplay a good character that tries to make up for it. and you can get good materia for relatively cheap, so if you are tring to pentameld those crafters and gatherers, its good to get some materia.

[@VentrexTheXVth]

I like the cafe but it just feels like that one small comic where the snail can't cry or it dies like his wife and kid.

@@enyaliosares4301 Do you not see a problem with an online game that requires a consistent flow of subscription payments to afford the content it makes constantly pushing players more and more to logout and not play and unsubscribe? I see this way too much. You shouldn't be told to "just log out" of a service you're actively paying for when its not providing you your money's worth. You should unsubscribe and leave.

[@Chronixal]

Absolutely this. This has been arguably the most stacked 3-4 months of amazing games to instead be forcing yourself to log into a game you're bored with. Cancel your sub and come back at Dawntrail.

I been slowly picking an pokin at eureka, but in general also mostly just going through my back log of every other game i had wanted to play but my addiction to XIV kept me away lol. X.5-X.0 is usually the longest stretch w/o new content, so this is naturally where i take my longest breaks from FFXIV. Mostly loggin in to keep my house, and poke around at stuff for a bit.

Your mount farming section is good, and you can technically add hunt mounts to it. Also worth mentioning that apart from the new series rewards, people mainly do PvP to work towards certain mount achievements for the various instances and, in the case of Seal Rock, the Field Commander glam set as well. As others have mentioned, you can also add these to your downtime activities: 1) Working on relics: This can involve farming combat instances or even just doing your books for the ARR ones, and on a more long-term basis, you can even passively buy mats in advance with Poetics. 2) Going inside Eureka or Bozja instances: This can be separate from relic farming as some people get unique items or fragments and sell them for money. 3) Achievement farming: You can work towards specific achievements such as crafting a certain number of HQ items, and/or collect unique achievement rewards like mounts, minions, weapons, orchestrion rolls or cards. 4) Crafting: Whether to sell items to others or to make your own housing furniture, or even contribute to your food and drink stash for raiding.

[@xXRoyOfDemaciaXx]

I've only been playing for a little over a month, so still on Free Trial. But fishing is the only job so far I've gotten to 70 xD My second highest job is WHM at 61. Fishing is so chill and fun

I'm not saying this to criticize your gameplay in anyway, so please dont take it like that, but how are you doing Hildibrand as side content, the entire questline from ARR to EW is only like 30 minutes long lol, like 2 hours if you watch cutscenes

I’m taking a break. Even tho I haven’t finished the current MSQ, I kinda want to wait till there is more. Otherwise I’ll just breeze through it and then be back to where I am now. I haven’t exactly played anything new/instead of atm tho and I’m finding it kinda hard to find a game that keeps me interested. 😅 But I am enjoying just not playing games as much for the moment too. I love gaming and it’s my favorite hobby but it’s nice to unplug for a while

[@tyleredwards4097]

I have also been finding myself really enjoying the areas like Eureka. I’m only just now getting into Post-Shadowbringers, so I don’t have Bozja yet.

Literally everything you mentioned, but multiply that by 21 because I have severe altaholism. Though I could also add, gposing! Taking screenshots of your characters in cute glams is just a great way to relax.

[@mas8705]

Admittedly, I don’t have a routine yet in FF14 at the moment. Been leveling up all jobs, but outside of helping the pixies daily, I don’t have much else (just started Endwalker). I do want to pace myself, but I also know I maybe nearing a point where I may get burned out (even before reaching Dawntrail). Even went as far as crafting everything up to Shadowbringers (no experts) and completing blue mage (but still need that last fight done). Still enjoying the game, but I know I will likely need to take a break soon enough. As such, it is nice to see a few of the things suggested here. Just need to figure out how to fish so I can clear up some inventory space for all the bait I’ve collected.

[@davidle0]

But did you stop that crystal in the Crystalline Conflict match?

She’s not wrong about burning yourself out. I remember trying to get all my jobs to level 80 before Endwalker, and I had to take a break for quite a while.

"Fantasy violence" and then "I like bossing people around" got me good lmfao. Looking forward to Dawntrail. I plan on buying the game shortly after that graphics overhaul launches.

[@Zoltri]

I think as a note as well, if you're greedy like me and don't like to share your rewards, or your friends just aren't available/interested, you can 100% Solo Treasure maps as a Warrior. You are at risk of dying still if you mismanage your resources, but its really not that bad once you get into the rhythm of it. The hardest part is the initial mobs to unlock the chest, but you can bring your Chocobo out, and pop a food buff and you should be good if your Warrior gear is up to date. \o/ I was doing it just fine with full 640 gear. Also, if you have crafters, using the special materials dropped in maps is normally a 30%-50% profit increase. \o/ The Martial art cloths normally sell for 400k, but once crafted go for 650k on my server.

Try some ultimate content, but then not wanting to continue because of some toxic player and I have really bad social anxiety.

World of Warcraft isn't for me any more and last time I played was in Stormblood where I got burned out and felt nothing to do after the msq. I came back 3 months ago and I am addicted ... That means I play like 12-15 hours a day when I can. The only thing I do is level up jobs and do my daily gold saucer stuff and tribal quest. This things bring me back everyday and then I do what I want. Didn't know Island Sanctuary existed so something more to do YAY!

[@PrincessofKeys]

Still need to level up some jobs, finish the beast tribe quest...I could do some deep dungeon used to do that with friends, but nowadays not anymore. I already RP which I love doing but going to venues is still something that makes me nervous by myself. I rather go with online friends there and chill...or possibly win some gil lol Ever since making new friends I just chill with them every chance I get.

I've been avoiding fishing, because whenever I start fishing in a game...I kinda never stop XD

[@HaddaClu]

All of my friends are taking time off from the game since they just feel burnt out from DT..... its kind of weird since for EW they were on most days. Normally I spend my days gathering, doing some crafting, helping fill random party finder slots; and also just sitting in one of the several meditation areas I created in my house's garden. I think the toxicity towards the story and some characters has made the general chat a bit rough at times. I'll admit to avoiding the DT trial Interphose due to all the complaining in it that happens every time I get it.

Would not recommend gold saucer outside of the make it rain event. You get more rewards for same effort. Skip the ARR beast tribes you can buy their mounts with moogle tomes. Pvp outside of crystal conflict is a slog fest. Island sanctuary only offers glamour and mounts so if you don’t like beach attire or etc it’s a pass. Most people afk in the city with their ultimate weapon playing another game. Take a break. Play other things
