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 😮

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!

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.

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...

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)

I am loving the Femroe and Hotlander love, they deserve it.

Proud femroe since post-Heavensward, I will continue to hold the line against the catgirl swarm.

Please never stop being you mate! Your vids are literally the highlight of my day/week. And as a fellow Crystallian (Goblin here

My current plan is to unlock all the guildhests and then hope that I get all 200 guildhests while completing Mentor Roulette in order to minimize the amount of instances I need to complete.

As a Fem Roe since my first day in 14 til now, I always make sure to give any other Fem Roe I see a ton of love and we almost always friend one another after runs, it's beautiful

As a femroe player this episode has been my favorite. And yes, we do deserve the thigh slider. Cant be bricked up top and leave the yams undercooked ya know

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

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.

By the way, I actually DID keep track of all the gil rewards from doing these guildhests, and the total came out to 113,058. That's quite a lot of gil, as you can imagine. What should I spend it on?

I'd love a series on Mentor Roulette! I can only imagine the chaos and comedy that could come from it, especially with your sense of humor! 😁

Your look at 14:03 is perfect. "You're seeing this too, right?" Please don't stop making this! This is perfect in every way and instills a new vigor to go achievement hunting. Thanks!

There are dozens of us Fem Elezens around. *DOZENS*

My friend linked this to me since I'm the Deep Canal Raider Wonder Woman Femroe on Diabolos. This was entertaining as hell, will def. be subscribing. Thanks!

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)

Another week, another entertaining video. About that Fem Roe to Catgirl pipeline post ARR bit, I actually switched to Fem Highlander from Fem Roe and am in love with my char now. Also lol I noticed I was in the s rank party at 27:15 and didn’t even notice ya there at the time. Keep up the great work!

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 :)

I genuinely look forward to this series every week. It is so fun!

Would love to see Mentor Roulette videos! Honestly, your videos are 100% perfect as background noise for me, Merry Christmas, Cider.

Another femroe here holding the line against the catgirl horde. Been a big green lady since I started and I have no plans to change that. I never knew I was farming comms this whole time! My achievement highlights for the week: - Level 80 Leatherworker and Dragoon - 20 unique Fisher leves and 20 total Fieldcraft leves - Skybuilders' hatchet acquired - 8 FATE achievements, including Formidable and the 13-step-long Stormblood FATE chain - 300 collectables gathered - 200 A-ranks killed

This has easily become my favourite series on KZfaq and got me back into FFXIV.

Love this 😁 Also yes! Would love to see you doing mentor roulette, especially for the glam review Also, any mentors who got pulled in were definitely thanking you for guildhests - They are the "easy +1 towards 2000 roulettes" of the Mentor roulette ^^

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.

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.

Ah, guildhests. If you had let me know, I would have gladly joined you in getting the achievement, since I need 100 guildhests for the PS4 trophy list. Have a happy holiday season, Cider, and I'll see your next video in 2024. We should definitely team up to tackle Dawntrail MSQ, one Lala to another. Of course, I am thinking about making myself a cat girl with my free Fantasia. XD

since the mentor roulette forces your icon to be at least battle mentor (if you have the full crown set it stays), it's interesting how most of your comrades were, in fact, just normal queues.

Just wanted to let you know that thanks to you, I found out there are a lot more guildhests than I thought, and currently I am working my way through them.

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!

just coming back bc this is one of my favorite videos on the series, but literally I'm so glad you do this bc it reignited my love for the game after having put it down for about 6-7 months! I'm working on the fate achievements mostly and I just finished all the ones I need to do for Lakeland :)

I love these videos. As a current Fem Roe, I will always be here as the 2nd tallest possible character model.

The 'name your kid after the 1st thing you see' was the setup for a very old joke, the punchline of which was "Why do you ask, Two Bears Fucking?"

I love the P8 quotes when using Flamethrower - fantastic

I would absolutely love to see your progress through the Mentor Roulette achievements! I love these videos so much and look forward to them!

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.

I was very caught off guard when you broke into Papa Roach that I actually let out an audible laugh. Lol Also, PLEASE DO MENTOR ROULETTE!!! I would love to see you do them in your style of video!

Any and all achievement videos are welcome love your vids looking forward to the next one !

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. Duty ends open duty menu, press confirm button, click leave - the option will always appear on the same spot on your screen. Done right you can leave less then half a second after a duty finishes.

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).

I would love mentor roulette videos! The astrope is one of my lofty ffxiv goals, so being able to watch someone else also on the same grind would make it a lot easier. Thank you for all the great content!

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

Something I heard people used to do is farm the first few guildheists (mostly BOCKMAN) for the commendation achievements. Or if queues are dead you can get a few friends to queue with you outside a party and get their comm that way

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

kyubi tamer title is also from getting the Kamuy of the Nine Tails for anyone wondering. you gotta get the mount from all 7 StB ex trials.

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!

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!

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.

Please keep these coming. It's great content, and I'm invested in the journey!

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.

These are really fun, I love watching them and I'm already looking forward to the next one each week lol. Would definitely watch a series dedicated just for mentor roulette memes too

i found your 1st of this series randomly and this is some of the best ff14 content ive seen on youtube i hope you keep it up i need this in my life much love from Australia!

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)

Thank you for this wonderful Pro FemRoe Video!

Really love your videos. Btw how do you find S rank hunts? Im in the Centurio discord but when i get the ping and go to the S-rank spot the hunt its already finished (there are always a lot of people that get there way sooner and i don't understand how they know it before me seeing the ping in the Centurio discord)

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)

Love that you have the quest 'Child Labor' during this video. Really suits your... stature.

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.

Yo dude, I just found your channel and just want to say I really like this achievement hunter series! Keep em up!

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!

I love just watching the clock in the top right to see how much time has gone by.

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

the flamethrowing khloe clip never gets old

You hit that Last Resort and started singing and I spit coffee all over my keyboard!

You have an inhuman amount of patients my friend, keep at it

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.

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.

when you dash mid movement of a knockback (about 50% done, any less or more, and you're action locked), it cancels the knockback and it's the most gamer feeling to do it.

13:17 The dancing in a line _has_ to be coordinated, they even have matching outfits.

I thought I recognized those exceptional eyebrows when I was doing guildhests via Mentor Roulette. Happy to tank for ya, even if it was only for 90 seconds.

Guildhest is great. You need to do every single one to unlock mentor, so sometimes you see crown wanters posting 'paying 500k gil per person for clear' parties of the final one - it requires 8 players so it will never be selected in roulette and only stupid sprouts or former stupid sprouts like me who did all of the others can help.

I sure appreciate the back to back Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner

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.

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

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.

I do love that Guildhests utilize the overworld. I wish more instances would do it as there are some nice environments.

I'd love to see a mentor roulette prog video. I really enjoy seeing people's stats with Mentor about what dungeons/trials/raids they getl

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.

I literally had to pause the video for five minutes at the "Gaping Manhole" joke, man. Just a sledgehammer to my funny bone right out of nowhere.

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.

back in my days guildhests were part of MSQ, for example the level jump in MSQ from 46 to 49 was so you could set up operation archon in guildhests

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

Referencing Nash and Steiner math. Underrated content right there.

always a pleasure to watch one of your videos- love the cut of your jib Cider!

I dunno if you started on Mahjong yet, but I'm very excited for that

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

I do guildhest roulette, and spam the rest for the challenge log. You can do the 10 guildhests for the week, and quickly deal with giving out 5 commendations for the week.

28:00 Oh no, oh nonononono. We've got a new individual into Mentor Suffering. And we welcome it with open arms

These videos are so much fun, I always enjoy watching them

I personally like the all 90s hat... as a bunny it fits right between my ears perfectly. I did the guildhest farming while leveling jobs, once a day for the roulette and then when there was a role bonus. ... and um ... I'm the Schoolar who when we got the ability to glam our fairy I've been running arround with a yellow carbuncle :)

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 have had a miserable week and this helped. Thank yo for making content that is very funny and awesome!

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.

I got all of the Guildhest achievements, and I'm damn proud. There is just something fun about wearing "The Last Resort" when you're a semi-casual player. Also I was a femelezen since 2.0 until Viera got put in. :x

Really enjoying these videos! Keep em coming 🙏

I streamed a big chunk of my Mentor Roulettes, and would put the 2000 achievement at a solid 600 hour commitment. The good news for you is that you cannot get old Praetorium or old Castrum M anymore, which should bring that total down by a little bit.

That big reindeer Roe Z.O. in the first clip is me! I hope I gave you pats!

15:20 Reminds me of the lore for Trolls in Runescape Difference is they are named after the first thing they try to eat

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.
