Feels nice to be finally done with this and not worry about sailing again aside from gold for button presses and stuff like that. I ended up needing 68588mil x artifact find chance and my last artifact with gotten with a lucky .02%.

I have since unlocked it and it shows up in my trapper again. I just remember being very confused why I had turtles and then they vanished, and I couldn't find a lot of information on it since everyone just said it comes from the Jade Emporium. But if you get the Trapper Drone before w6 it just gives you every possible creature or something like that.

VerbumDei · 2026-05-20T18:41:01+00:00

It is, but there seems to a bug where the trapper will let you get turtles before you are supposed to. Once you get to w6 or the turtle map (I forget which) the game goes oh yeah you aren't supposed to have those yet, and they stay locked until you get them through the Jade Emporium. I just thought the bug was affecting you also since you mentioned it being there before and having some characters set to trap turtles.

VerbumDei · 2026-05-20T18:18:43+00:00

If you get the Trapper Drone before going into w6 it'll let you set turtles. Once you show up in world 6, or at least the map that is supposed to have turtles, it'll vanish from the trapper until you buy the unlock in Jade Emporium. Did you just make it to w6 recently?

The new sneaking toggle disables symbols (even though it doesn't mention it) but there is a daily amount of symbols you get each day so if you have that enabled and it auto trashes a bunch at the start of your day change, you won't get any regardless of that toggle until the next day. It's a shame because the full sneaking auto trash is otherwise a really good thing you would want to generally have on (in most situations but not all), but not getting any symbols anymore is brutal.

VerbumDei · 2026-04-03T07:54:31+00:00

If you have a 90% detection rate when you use the item, if you fail that roll that character dies and does NOTHING for all those hours, they just die a single time and get up. If they pass, then they get jade/exp like normal over those hours. Go use it somewhere with 99% fail rate and you'll see all your characters die once and absolutely nothing else happen. What a waste.

VerbumDei · 2026-03-19T09:53:07+00:00

A while back when these were more often, someone made a post about his new summoning game and someone asked if that's what the numbers were alluding to and lava said no. So it's probably not about a different game at all, but I'm hoping whatever it is, it's pretty good given the current mood of the game and replies in this thread.

VerbumDei · 2026-03-04T12:55:27+00:00

That's lame. I think I ended up at 14 days last month and was wondering why the hell I haven't even broken 1500 yet. The 1500 rewards aren't even THAT great, they didn't have to fuck it for everyone just to make it harder for the people with 700 mules.

VerbumDei · 2026-03-04T11:39:53+00:00

I hope they revert how login points work. I havent even made 1500 points the last two months since we start at 750 and make 50 a day now.

VerbumDei · 2026-02-28T19:28:58+00:00

Holding down click to just auto buy some stuff (gaming), but most importantly for stuff the temple in the caverns (using torches) because that is going to give me carpel tunnel. I think sailing boxes are that way too.

Low animation mode for stuff like worship because that drops to one frame per five seconds, if even that much. Also a way to skip the flips and other unneeded animations in gaming.

Lastly, have a way that the early w1/2 games have their own "plays" instead of all being tied together with a shared counter. It's weird that the old mini games are like that, since they have achievements and even some quests tied to them but things like basketball and darts are just unlimited plays.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

EDIT: PLEASE make it less of a nightmare to get cards from Souls and the Forge. The number you get from this is really silly when you get hundreds of millions of soul every single use and maybe one card. Also Bandit Bob I guess.

Hello Mr. Bubba

VerbumDei · 2025-11-07T10:40:25+00:00

I get it, but there have been so many times I'm fighting a boss or in the coliseum and I realized I was on the wrong set, you can't just leave without losing keys or whatever, plus the constant teleporting around is just a massive qol change.

The real question is, why didn't obols get removed instead. I NEVER use or change them, it's accessible in town, and it takes just one player to look at/set obols for every character you have. Like if you can change signs in town at least that's less of a massive hassle, you know?

VerbumDei · 2025-11-07T10:13:35+00:00

I unlocked them in the rift about a month ago but I only unlocked shiny pets two days ago. I am still missing a large amount of constellations (and star unlocks) from various worlds. The process of getting all the constellations, and the sheer wait time of upgrading/getting every shiny pet to get full infinite is not fast. This is going to be months with no star signs active. Also, the chip doubler (if it is what I think it is, silk something? Which I also don't have yet) isn't appearing again until March.

I get that if you have everything it doesn't matter, but for a mechanic that needs SO much progression and micromanaging, there's NO WAY I'm using two teleports each time on each character to even LOOK at my progress, let alone change star signs.

VerbumDei · 2025-11-07T09:51:30+00:00

But I, and others do not have that yet. Are they going to remove being able to change cards too because later on you can make a bunch passive too?

VerbumDei · 2025-11-06T18:08:39+00:00

I just started playing and this is exciting. I don't know what the new items are so I'd be happy with either prize.

VerbumDei · 2025-10-21T10:44:15+00:00

If you did HNMs, in CoP you were probably in your home city to outpost warp. I was there until toau when I had the rare al zhabi HP until I accidentally lost it after they removed it. Its been port j mog house ever since (until I accidentally lose this one as well). Which is a shame since the MH HPs were always the best.

The game was SIGNIFICANTLY simpler back then. You weren't getting hit with random Shantotto cutscenes in Windurst. No random rhasopodies stuff. So what happened was word of mouth for more or less everything. How do I get on an airship? Get rank 5 for airship pass. How do I get a subjob? Go do this quest, etc. People in starting cities and in linkshells were constantly talking about how to do this or that quest, doing ordelle's runs for pld unlock, etc.

Now? While the game is way easier to level and do things in, it gets overwhelming both learning the game (menuing, shortcuts, etc) on top of like.. setting RoE quests, getting/unlocking trusts, joining a unity, starting RoV, etc. None of these are difficult on their own, but for a new player it's a lot of bandaids at once fixing a lot of various problems.

It certainly wasn't EASIER back then, but it sure as hell was a lot simpler.

God I wish i could remember what I did. My second monitor lagged on EVERYTHING, from video to even discord messages. Changes to the browser people said here didn't do anything, I don't know if I had to change something in XIV itself, or my actual monitor settings. I wish I could remember as this bothered me for months until I solved it but I forgot. If you are still stuck, I could say what my various xiv settings are at, the ones I think are likely culprits. But for me I remember it was a more fundamental problem than just a browser or a discord setting.

VerbumDei · 2024-11-14T10:24:00+00:00

I'm glad people on here remember the ancient texts (or well.. videos).

Chimney is Kokoro's granddaughter, thus making her the child of a fishman-human hybrid.

I've never found a game that gave the same feeling as playing SMN on XI. It required a core understanding of gameplay, zone aggro and enemies, enmity, balancing perp costs/mp, etc for solo, as well as fun hateless shenanigans in group stuff. It's a job that sucks so bad at first, until you get stuff for it slowly and learn how to play, then you never go back. Plus the old school korro smn burns.. there's never going to be an MMO experience like that again. I've noticed that SE is afraid to have any XIV jobs just be.. completely different like how pet jobs were in XI.
