The trick to making money in 14 is to find a niche that isnt held by too many other people, a few pieces of furniture or some transmogs nobody else on your server makes.

[@Loispealz34]

@Sm0ke821 I mean... you still sold it. And nothing besides Gil stops you from doing the same thing they're doing. Besides most materials are not that expensive, finished hq mats and gear are. If all the money you can make comes from vendoring limsa's fish then yeah, you're kinda out of luck, but just regular dungeon going will support most market board purchases you might want, unless you're trying to purchase shit like enough materia to pentameld a fukken gear set.

The funniest thing to me is that Lim Sa can be as canonically accurate to a bunny who loves the city and refuses to leave, as most bunnies when they leave their homes become outcasts and usually drop their birth name for what they call a 'city name' which can be basically anything the bunny likes, so yes, Chocolate Bunny is also technically a lore-accurate name for a outcast Viera, I think that is hilarious.

[@laurel7867]

I’m actually curious how far P2W could actually get you in FFXIV 😮 like no accepting the reward gear from quests. Only using the gil you get from the boost and being on Dynamis sort of thing. It would be super freakin interesting because can a P2W beat a F2P?

[@shi4592]

@@laurel7867 🤯 how much P2W is FFXIV and how much is F2P!!

[@KaguyaEne]

@@laurel7867 What is this supposed to mean though? FFXIV's primary "pay2win" items are story and level boosting. By themselves they don't really do anything without the other. What you save when buying them is a lot of time and a lot of tedious running around. On top of all store items are untradeable and unsellable in-game and incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to partake in RMT with. Yes the combined story+level boost gives 1 million gil, but you get around 2 million just by doing the entire Main Story Quests depending on how reserved you are with your gil so you're just saving somewhere from 3-8 weeks of play depending on what kind of player you are and how skilled you are at the game.

[@MrInsiipid]

@@laurel7867 The boosts aren't P2W in the first place. They're Pay2SkipGrind. You don't inherently gain anything an ordinary player doesn't/hasn't. In fact, it doesn't even bring you remotely close to a 'powerful' place, seeing as how your gear is still whatever and replaced quickly. The Gil you get alongside the boost is pennies to most players who make their own, people make 10x that from retainers alone passively once they're leveled up. It gets you exactly as far as it brings you: closer to max level with some chump change and mediocre gear.

[@GribbleGob]

@@shi4592 most things in the game are available in the free trial, just not certain features and other things like a wallet capped at 300k gil and the inability to use the Market Board or send Tells to other players.

Nooo when you spent 400 gil on the princess trout I gasped. There is a fish NPC that sells you all the fish for the first 5 fishing quests for like 16 gil or so. I believe it is on the upper Limsa near the blacksmith.

[@rathgames]

I have tragically only learned of this after

[@javi3269]

@@rathgames next time for sure! Hopefully you remember. Great video nonetheless Rath!

[@Fourtrooper]

Limsa was a great, compact regionlock for a single video, but it does make me wonder how far you could take a regionlock comprised of one of the starting citystates, giving you all of Gridania or Thanalan or La Noscea which generally has at least enough content to get to 50

[@rathgames]

Maybe we do more region locks in the future 👀

[@oromain]

A vylbrand/la noscea lock would be cool because the game actively does not let you leave it till you unlock airships in the MSQ. If you start in Gridania or Ul'dah you can travel to the other by foot and even to Mor Dhona, but La Noscea truly has you stuck. The ships you could take like the one to Vesper Bay don't let you through either. I think you can't even leave via residential zone, but I can't remember to be certain.

I feel like you could extend this "category" to not leaving a determinate area. Such as never leaving the Black Shroud, or never leaving Thanalan or La Noscea. It would certainly give you a lot more to do, but I wonder if the difference would be enough that it gives you good content on it.

[@TheJohnBrown]

The thing is with ocean fishing on smaller boats is the chance for a spectral catch to yield a spectral current goes up per person if you have less people, effectively evening out your chances of getting a current. Sure it's dependent on the rest of the people on the boat actually catching spec fish to begin with, but it's not impossible. I've done an ocean fishing trip before with just one other person and I pulled the spec fish on all 3 legs of the voyage, for example.

[@roseargent7720]

That was honestly extremely entertaining and relaxing to watch. Props to you for sticking through to the end well played.

What a neat concept! I whiled away many a fun (and sometimes frustrating) hour on Ocean Fishing! My favorite run was ending up on a cruise all by myself at then-cap, lv. 80 -- and getting Spectral Currents in all three legs. If I hadn't already earned the Hybodus mount previously, I would have gotten it all on my lonesome, because that run scored ~11,000 points. Sometimes RNGesus shuns you, and sometimes they shine their Light so brightly even Hydaelyn Herself would be jealous of its brilliance.

I honestly feel like you have more than proved to this stubborn old WAR main that its possible and since its solo i don't have to worry about annoying other party members with the many many wipes to come! but if i want this to have any chance of success then i should learn from you, which means its time to finish levelling fisher and at the very least make fish cautious of me xD
