The Most Outdated Content in Final Fantasy XIV - Getting Every Achievement #05

[@chaossquall]

When doing mentor roulette it automatically changes your icon to battle crown no matter what you have set to normally. So most folks you saw were NOT doing mentor roulette 😮

[@eorzeanadventurer7171]

And I reiterate that it's very specifically the battle crown. If the crown doesn't have a sword with it, they're not doing mentor roulettes

[@keo549]

Did they change it? When I did mine (back in SB mind you) it was the non-specified crown. Battle/crafting/pvp mentor are more specific to let sprouts know who to ask. Battle mentor also only needs combat classes to 90, some commends and the role quests, while nonspecified crown needs both kinds of mentor to unlock (crafting and battle) Haven't played story for a while so I'm a few duties off from literally just queueing mentor to check myself rn

[@eorzeanadventurer7171]

@@keo549 the thing is, mentor roulettes only requires the battle crown (and to have cleared basically every bit of content you can queue for), and the generic crown requires you to earn both battle and crafter/gatherer crown. While I'm not sure if it's changed or not, when I got my Astrope during ShB/EW I noticed that it forced me into the battle crown, even if I had the generic one when doing mentor roulettes

[@manesium]

If you are not sure if someone queued for mentor roulette vs just has the battle mentor crown on all the time, open your social tab to see party members. Players will have the "in duty" little red swords icon, while only mentor roulette people will have the battle mentor icon instead.

[@thefloorisevil]

​@keo549 they changed it in Shadowbringers when Battle Mentor and Trade Mentor were split into two separate things with different requirements. I really hate that it forces the crown on you tbh because when i was on the grind it just made people point out my fuckups more

[@Tinandel]

Oh Lord, I actually saw you doing this earlier in the week - I was of course paying no attention to who else was in the party and only noticed during commendations at the end, when I did a quick double-take at a familiar portrait and went, "Wait, isn't that...?" And yeah, I have to admit I was already guessing it was for an obscure achievement video.

[@steveh1474]

when i was grinding every job up to level 50, i actually did my guildhest roulette every day, and tried to clear every hest on every job from ARR and HVW. you get first time bonuses per job, and the gil and xp adds up quick considering how absurdly fast they are. dont neglect it, sprouts! its good for sprouts! helps you grow up to be a big strong mentor or something!

[@zirilan3398]

No one wants to be a mentor, not even mentors want to be mentors

[@bate01071]

I did it for a long time for player commendations as well as the items you mentioned. If you do it as a tank early in the week, players will often give you the commendation as you are on the top of the list and they are trying to get the challenge log bonus that resets on Tuesday.

[@SemekiIzuio]

Same, its a good source of exp early on and you can enter it at level 10 unlike dungeons at 15

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

You have just 2 roulettes of course you will do it, it's a no choice thing. Unlike from level 50 onwards.

[@kiraina25]

The thing about guildhests is that they were made _long_ before Hall of the Novice or the pre-Satasha tutorial were implemented. And they're not quite only about teaching you basic things, they're a bit more like puzzle fights. Which I kinda like. Buso (Annoy the Void) has adds that burst into flames that buff him if they're killed, which teaches you about interacting with on-field elements (like, say, the second-last boss in Rabanastre). Or you can just weather the adds and burn him down. Then there's the infamous quintuplet demons, the bomb queen one is actually great fun because you're dodging explosions all over the place while the puddings try to put you to sleep... I actually did hop into roulette a lot a while back, it was a decent way to squeeze out a little extra experience for the jobs that start at level 1. Plus the first-time bonus is actually _per class_ for guildhests, so when I unlocked (for example) rogue/ninja, I could get those experience bonuses for each guildhest all over again even though I'd cleared them on other classes. Nowadays though, they're much less helpful...

[@cattysplat]

The ARR and HS max level hard dungeons had quite a few interactive mechanics too that you would wipe to if you didn't do them. I miss actually having to care about that stuff.

[@Ryukai-san]

Guildhests are in the Challenge log, so ppl are prob running 10 for the mini exp chunk. They are fast, easy and you get a couple hundred K for the log. :P Also, fun fact, you can fail the turtle guildhest if the turtle dies (had that happen a couple times due to dps attacking it like a candy filled piñata and refusing to stop)

[@Dobbster]

I once had the tank be the only one who was attacking the turtle, he wouldnt respond to chat and would run right back in when rescued. It was the slowest, saddest failure. Also when I get a guildhest for mentor roulette im happy to get a quick duty complete

[@notmousse]

Daily roulette, plus a few when your FC puts a bonus on seals and you're making a neat lil bag of gil as well.

[@Piretfreak87]

Had that only happening to me once...and I was the idiot who attacked the turtle 😂 It was the first time for me doing this and I was so focused that I didn't realize the others stopped attacking. So yeah...😂

[@KumiChan2004]

Basically that is there only use case. The weekly exp is not bad. Not great either. But not bad.

[@SemekiIzuio]

Yup i would use them to level lower classes. You get a bonus for first time completion with using the class first time in that mission. So the exp was decent with bonus, but again only really for lower classes

as a mentor, I can tell you that you absolutely will get it, with ease. of 270 mentor roulettes run so far, 65 of mine have been guildhests, and I actively avoid them (I stop queueing when I get 2 back to back guildhests with the same tank/healer cos it means they're comm farming and will end up pulling me in there for the next 5-10 duties lol)

​@@JelisW I'd see this as a win because the worst scenario would be getting Shinryu Extreme, synced

[@JelisW]

@@Taevarth meh, I don't get many extremes to begin with, and all of them are ARR extremes, and frankly, assuming I have the time, I would rather do the extreme. I'm not doing mentor roulette for the mount; I do it mostly because I find getting dropped into a random grab bag of stuff fun, and I like having an excuse to do old content. I also regularly join fresh prog savage parties to help out when I can; helping with an extreme is no biggie, especially with echo and the level of gearing making it easier even synced.

[@Kazagari]

These have continued to be magical. Guildhests are a godsend when you start farming mentor roulette. I expect a small upswing during spaces between patches like the farming and leveling you're doing as well as challenge log bonuses whenever we get level increases from expansions. The Hunt is eternal. Major congrats on your Life of Adventure! (as well as unique S ranks and total Hests done)

Pro tip for guildhests- if you pull the boss to the starting NPC, you can talk to them and claim the rewards without waiting for the fade-to-black teleport that takes a while

Talk about coincidence - I first watched this video after a play session where I unlocked guildhests for the first time. I've been playing 2.5 years and have finished the current MSQ. Friend and I are using them for our challenge log to level up other classes. Loving watching your progress :)

[@MirinkaiserVODs]

Since last week's video, I have crafted my skybuilders' frypan, crafted my 1000th collectable, completed my 150th custom delivery with Kurenai, completed my 90th custom delivery with Adkiragh and unlocked the first tier WHM Manderville relic. Currently sitting at #87 for achievement points on Adamantoise. The grind lives on for all us achievement hunters. Interestingly, I did start working on guildhests a few weeks ago. I broke the 100th maybe two weeks or so ago. Still a long road to go for 200, but thankfully they stopped at 200 and not 500 like they did so much back then. Also, yes, I think mentor roulette videos would be interesting.

Pre-50 you only have leveling roulette, so guildhest roulette daily was good then for the small xp bonus since they're so fast and the xp matters more the lower level you are. That or commendation farming like you said, but I also did that on healer spamming 180 raids needed for bozjan relic weapons too.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

I like doing guildhests on alt jobs as soon as they become available. You get bonus xp the first time you complete each guildhest per job, so it can be a nice boost when there's not much else you can do to level besides hunting log and FATEs.

I think Guildhests are actually fantastic, and it's a huge shame they were neglected after 2.0 launch. They were fun scenarios built around teaching a lot of the game's fundamentals. Most people don't even know they exist, and obviously they are utterly unrewarding to do. I think it would be great if they added to them, and made encounters that are a low pressure way to learn broadly used mechanics and patterns. Give me a Limit Cut guildhest! But I mean we don't even have this kind of tutorial thing for Gaze attacks or Tower soaks. Players just trial and error stumble into stuff at random points in their journey.

[@powerofk]

It’s strange, too-some of the guildhests actually have very unique mechanics that are no longer found anywhere else in the game. The turtle, for example. Or that one where you have to kill 5 identical enemies within a couple seconds of each other or they’ll respawn. Honestly, the only other places you find that kind of experimentation with regard to boss fights are in optional ARR dungeons.

[@zirilan3398]

Guildheists will be removed with 7.0 because they got neglected for so long, which is a shame. I too think there should be something like a hall of the Novice after the 2.0 MSQ where they teach you commonly used mechanics like multihit-tankbusters, towersoaks etc

Thanks for the series, it started me back up on my chievo grind, focusing on cleaning up some chievos in my gathering section that should not take long. (Not fishing). Also by checking lalachievements it confirmed a suspicion I had about my preferred title "Featherfall's Finest Miner", which I had long suspected was my rarest but couldn't prove it. It is in fact the 34th rarest title, mostly cause it requires endless Diadem grinding, I got it in the fight for Miner Sainthood during Phase 3 of the Restoration, by grinding for 10 days straight, 8 hours a day. Note this was in 2020 and I very unemployed so I could do that. And the title has only gotten harder since they nerfed the point value of Grade 3 materials (something they should have undone after phase 4 was done imo, the points don't actually do anything anymore).

You know. I only have seen one mentor streaming mentor roulettes. I wouldn't mind seeing another stream them. I myself have been hesitant on being a mentor. Cause for the most part I feel like I will be judged if I don't do my job and show n00bs how to play. I have done a few guild heist roulettes cause I wanted to do more than just the other roulettes or I didn't have the time to do the longer ones and ran them instead. Also where you get the title for Kyubi tamer is Obtain the Fife of Nine Tails. It gives the title. :3 Also I find you are very entertaining and really make my day.

I'd definitely love to see a mentor roulette series! Mentor roulettes were some of the most fun I had running content. I apparently picked a bad time to do my Astrope grind though, 'cause it was during the WoW exodus + pandemic, which meant a lot of sprouts who didn't know not to queue for extremes. The amount of ARR and HW extremes I got during that time was staggering. lol I would say hopefully you don't get that many, but honestly the extremes with 7 sprouts was really fun!

I do que guildhest roulette regularly. Even though the rewards are tiny, it's really fast and the rewards are at least more than nothing. Even the seals can help fund squadrons and ventures.

[@Hedoro_Kaibyo]

The one sorta nice thing about Guildhest roulette is you do get a large bonus the first time you do each on any given class, so it is a decent enough source of early gil and exp. As for queuing for it these days I only ever get queued into it through Mentor roulette and I'm so thankful it isn't a Duty Finder Extreme every time it happens. Also I think that one bright yellow glam at 20:54 was supposed to be Milia Rage from Guilty Gear

I don't even play FF14 and just enjoy watching your vids. Make whatever you're comfortable with making that doesn't drive you mad. I'll watch as soon as I get t he chance regardless. So make those guildhest vids.

[@CamperCarl00]

The hardest guildhest is still the turtle. If the tank doesn't want to pull the turtle to the gas, then you'll be stuck until it dies. I remember actually doing guildhests for experience in ARR. A few of them teach you mechanics for dungeons at a similar level that even then were ignorable. The first-time bonus per job, quick queues, and lack of roulettes until 2.1 meant that you had very few options for leveling. FATE grinding was the most popular since leves were limited and duty finding could be time-consuming.

[@firesoy]

had the turtle die recently, you actually **fail** the duty, I was shocked because it was the first time I'd ever seen that happen

How to leave duties crazy fast: Bind a button to the confirm and duty menu in keybinds and make sure you have it set so cutscenes skip if you've seen them.

So this marks my dipping my toes into big fish. So, for some context, I did the Starlight seasonal event, and I contribute to the GamerEscape wiki, so I abandoned the quest a couple times to check things, like optional NPC dialogue I'd forgot or what happens if you talk to the kids in Ul'dah in a different order (spoilers, nothing; if you talk to the kid by the BLU vendors first, he still gives you the present to deliver; I was so sure there'd be a flag to have whichever kid you talked to last be the one to give you the present...), and in the process, I accidentally abandoned Beast of Brewer's Beacon. Years ago, while I was still in 2.X MSQ, I'd caught the titanic sawfish and then, seeing there was yet more difficult fishing to do, and not really being properly geared or leveled or having any idea what I was doing, I muted the quest to do later. So I set up a Lalachievements profile, marked all the fish I'd caught, and then imported that into Carbuncle Plushy. Honestly, it's almost overwhelming, how many fish there are to catch. It's sort of disrupted the rhythm I had going. There's *always* some fish window up. For now, I've pinned all the big fish involved in Beast of Brewer's Beacon and Feast of Famine, and hidden all the big fish from HW onward. When none of the fish I've pinned are up, I scroll through the windows looking for 20+ minute windows. And when no appealing windows are up, I go after some of the always-up big fish. So far, I've picked up Go Big or Go Home I (drowned sniper), I Like Big Fish and I Cannot Lie, Go Big or Go Home II (giant takitaro, nepto dragon, crystal perch, faerie queen, junkmonger, pirate's bane, mahar, shonisaurus, helicoprion, coelacanthus, navigator's brand, canavan, kuno the killer, endoceras, and namitaro), and Imagine Dragon. I also picked up Good Things Come to Those Who Bait: La Noscea II and Good Things Come to Those Who Bait: Thanalan I incidentally. Doing my weekly custom deliveries, picked up The Customer Is Always Right: Ameliance III. In the course of regular play, I accrued enough causality to grab another EW relic, thus Hamm(er)ing It Up: Manderville Torquetum. I'm pretty close to having every first step EW relic now (just missing WAR, GNB, and MNK). I also managed to catch Archaeotania while doing FATEs in the Tempest, and got Another World, Another Turn.

[@MirinkaiserVODs]

The Big Fish title is a very daunting mount to climb. I think the most important part of that process is to just... enjoy it. When I went through that grind, there are two things that made it much more enjoyable to me. One, I just find it relaxing. Two, and most importantly, it's when you start meeting other people that are also trying to catch the same fish as you, and then you strike a conversation. And then you see them again in another fishing spot a few days later. It's the nerdiest of nerdy grinds in the game, and there's someone, just like you, who's doing it. There's a connection, you know? So you start cheering each other on. Man, that was my favorite part of the Big Fish grind back in the days. Congratulations on some of the hard ARR fish such as Namitaro and Kuno the Killer! But the grind has only begun... Definitely go at your pace though. Trying hard and overdoing the grind can kill one's motivation in no time.

[@Rotaretilbo]

Honestly, I think I've been rather lucky thus far. Namitaro's the only one so far that's given me much trouble, and even that is paltry compared to the horror stories big fishers tell about the Ruby Dragon or whatever. I probably spent 3.5 hours over the course of 3 or 4 days trying for Namitaro, and he's the only fish that it took double-digit bites to catch so far (in this case, 10). Definitely going to have to pace myself, though.

[@MirinkaiserVODs]

@@Rotaretilbo Ruby Dragon's pretty bad, but you haven't lived the Big Fisher life until you've gone for Cinder Surprise a dozen times.

[@Rotaretilbo]

Yeah, the three names I think that have stood out to me, between war stories from a friend of a friend and people commiserating on the subreddit, are Ruby Dragon, Cinder Surprise, and Warden of the Seven Hues. Dunno if those three are actually the hardest, or if I'm just biased towards remembering names that aren't some variation of Ichthyosaur, but those are the three names I associated with big fish suffering.

[@MirinkaiserVODs]

@@Rotaretilbo The big problem with Warden of the Seven Hues is catching the prerequisite fish to trigger intuition. If you're patient and willing to wait another cycle (a full ingame day, about an hour and a half of real time) by not leaving the map to keep progress on the fish you've caught, it's a lot easier to actually get the intuition. Actually catching the Warden once you have intuition isn't bad. This one does need prep to really understand the time window of all of the required fish for intuition though. And your reward is a nice fish for your aquarium, or a few million gil by selling it on the market for people that want it in their aquarium. Some other troublesome big fish for me were: Charibenet, Lancetfish, Raimdellopterus, Ealad Skaan, Stethacanthus.

So a few reasons to do guildhests: there's the daily roulette which gives decent exp for jobs below level 50. This is especially nice since below 50 the only other roulettes you have access to are the leveling roulette and Frontlines. The guldhest roulette is also available at level 10 as opposed to 16 for the leveling roulette or 30 for Frontlines roulette There's also the weekly challenge log, which is a lump of exp. Once again comes in handy for getting lower level jobs up faster. On top of that, there's an exp bonus per job the first time you complete a given guildhest for all jobs released through SB. Long story short, they help speed up the process of getting to level 50 (I know more efficient options exist, but variety helps keep me somewhat sane)

I do guildhest roullies, for the gill it might not give much gill for the roullie. But it is literally super short also.

[@Longlius]

If I remember correctly, Guildhests have first-time completion bonuses per class so they're actually pretty good single infusions of xp while leveling the ARR classes to 50.

[@BiskeTheBeast]

I had no idea the "The Last Resort" title came from guildhest. I haven´t even unlocked that roulette but I kinda want to just to get it.

[@trainman164]

Ive been a FemRoe since ARR's Launch, never used a fantasia for anything but eye color! I will stand with my FemRoe Sisters to help other FemRoes to stay Roe!

[@sephy287]

5:18 I do, mostly for the dailies and weekly reward, at least the one for doing 3 a week, its easy to do, takes little time, and worth a little exp at least. It is not worth a lot that is for sure, but it still adds up. Once I got all the jobs past 50 though, I stopped doing them as often because after that there are more than 2 options for daily roulettes.

Seasoned Tracker is the only achievement I've really chased in this game, it's been my title since I earned it in early Heavensward. Watching this has made me wanna aim to get all the other hunt achievements as well!

[@SuperNockon]

On mentor roulette videos, and this series in general- they have been really fun to watch and really good for background audio on repeat. Would love to see the horrors of mentor roulette!

[@HanayomeK]

Idk if anyone said it yet, but if a mentor queues for mentor roulette with their mentor icon turned off, it is automatically turned back on for the roulette duty. So supposed people joining you were just... normal people lol

[@Foxpawed]

I wanted to maybe get into doing mentor roulette stuff but part of the unlock requirements are doing all the extremes and I don't have that energy, especially now that not unlocking them stops them from being put in your Wondrous Tails rotation, so now I don't even see it as a frustratingly locked roulette anymore.

[@AschenDog]

I queued for guildhests when I was still leveling everything- for the sake of the experience bonus from the completion log. Especially if I'd already burned all the bigger ones. Not anything to sneeze at really if you just pop a few of them while grinding something else like FATEs or gathering. Which is why you might see higher level people in even guildhests. There's a lot of bonus experience to be had from the Completion Log, and it scales with level so the log is still worth it in even the last bracket. They reset once a week.

[@trav3linglemon662]

Was at work when this dropped, have been looking forward to it!

[@jozkuz5674]

Mentor roulette is the best content you could possibly make! It's gonna be a fun grind for sure! (With also many under the armors)

[@sidereon9793]

I'm a little insane when it comes to leveling so I queue for guildhests for the daily roulette bonus and challenge log. gotta squeeze out every last bit of xp I can get

[@jackjack8639]

I will watch any content you make Cider sensei. The more the better :)

[@SoraShadowdancer]

I queue for guildhests on occasion. When I see that they are in need of a healer. I do it to help the poor DPS who have probably been sitting in the queue for the last hour waiting for a healer. And then I keep queuing until I don't get any more insta-queues. (I.e. the DPS queue has been cleared) I also do it because they are really easy to heal and it makes me feel good about myself, lmao. Also, quick side note, I believe guildhests came out before hall of the novice. Hall of the Novice trainings were introduced when the level skips came out.

[@GameGod77]

I run the daily guildhest because you can finish it in about a minute (if you get a low level one) so the time to exp ratio works out well. It also gives me something different to do when levelling alt jobs up to 50. Since you don't have access to trial and raid roulette, your only other options are running dungeons over and over while fate grinding.

[@Kitsune-Chaos]

The subtle slip-in of Stein Math that got added into this vid. I see you, and I appreciate you.

[@a_yanki]

Glad I found this series, going to keep an eye and SUBBD

[@owlcall]

It was an honor to be considered among the Angry Baby Army™ while hunting with you. Godspeed in your future grind, o furious leader o7

[@InnocentGuillotine]

Oh hey, I saw you a couple times during the guildhest grind (and showed up a few times, I'm S.R. bunboy)! Yeah, guildhests sure do... exist. They're barely worth doing even at sub-30, but it is a daily bonus for leveling I guess.

[@DaereonLive]

Watching you do the Guildhests triggered me to see how far along I was, remembering I'd probably haven't done a lot... I was mistaken, I only need 3 more for the achievement and I've never even farmed them for the achievement XD

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

16:26 The Yugioh monster Elemental Lady Heat would like some words.

[@TheAzureGuardian]

at this point I just queue for Guildhest roulette just for the extra gil for doing it as a daily. Particularly I always do it as the "Adventurer In need" role for the additional gil that comes with it. It might not be a whole lot, but doing every roulette for their daily and as the "Adventurer In Need" role gets me anywhere between 200k to 300k gil depending what Dungeons/Trials/Raids pop. While I'm not really looking to make my character rich and don't need the exp as an Omni90, having the gil is more for in case I want to buy stuff off the MB from content I don't want to do, like the Criterion Dungeons for example.

[@Zim-Ki]

I was so excited to level everything up back in ShB where the reward was a mount instead, I even did the grind with the FATEs for to get the little minion version of that mount. Then Endwalker rolled around and the reward was the helm you can't even dye and it was so disappointing. I still leveled everything though because of course I did, haha. Love these videos, they're pretty fun since I dropped off FFXIV recently because busy IRL

[@solidsanta5229]

Trophy list in PS4 (and delisted PS3) version have two trophies that requires to complete 1 and than 100 guildhests. Farmed them earlier this year.

[@soulsurvivor3491]

I was nervous about playing in parties when I first started playing. My best friend advised me to use guildhests to build my confidence. It worked. I now have all jobs at 90 and I still queue in for guildhests to help sprouts and I always give my comms to the sprouts.

[@GoldenPerception]

Somehow I found myself with a gap between having content to do and getting dungeons unlocked. I got to talking to some people in gridania and they were immediately like “we can help!” and they ran at least three guildhests with me, if not more. I think they might have taken me through the dungeon too. It was one of the experiences that really showed my how sweet the ffxiv community can be, especially with baby sprouts.

[@MarthSR]

Referencing Nash and Steiner math. Underrated content right there.

[@jrlair]

Guild heists are good up to level 50 when leveling a new job because the 1st clear completion resets every time you queue into it with a different job. The first clear exp bonus is substantially better expecially for something you can finish under a few minutes.

[@vilemk69z98]

I'm down for Mentor Roulette vids my dude!!! Your voice and humor are EPIC!!!!!!😁👍

[@SemekiIzuio]

I did Guildhest early ARR for level 1 jobs. The entey level is 10 in roulettes and you get a bonus per job for each hest you finish 1st time completion so it was easy exp and although worthless at higher levels its definitely good for early levels especially because of the Company Seals you need alot of to unlock promotions GC ranking that lets you turn in gear for GC seals, you can avoid Fates altogether this way

[@Raiaka]

I love how this guildhest video became 1/4 guildhests, 1/4 hunting, and 1/2 femroe appreciation. On that note, I am now seriously considering dusting off the femroe design I saved ages ago for Dawntrail.
