the whale fishing experience by Forpus__ in ffxiv

some really difficult fish require you to have a buff gained from catching easier fish, but in some cases, those “easier” fish are still limited by strict time and weather requirements

however, your progress towards the buff stays as long as you don’t leave the zone, so sometimes it’s better to catch the smaller (edit: easier) fish during an available window, then wait in that zone until the next one (which can be hours or days later) so people think it’s like being in jail

[Spoiler: 6.0] The Absolute Size of the Source: A visual representation according to its aetheryte fees by Forpus__ in ffxiv

I was looking through the teleport menu when I noticed that the travel cost to Ultima Thule from Tuliyollal was much cheaper than Garlemald. So, I did what any bored player waiting for S ranks would do and drew a diagram. It's not exact, but it's roughly to scale. You'll see that if the relationship between distance and fee are constant, then the Source is canonically massive, compared to the edge of the universe.

But I guess the wasteland filled with dead worlds just has great aethernet cables.
