8:25 I half expected you to say "You've done it. You have raided the deepest room in the Aquapolice ONE time"

There are two types of FFXIV players: those who haven’t done maps, and those who panic when faced with two identical unmarked doors.

for those wondering why so few players have done the Hidden Canals of Uznair one, you can only get the maps for it, thief's, from another map portal's loot (specifically from gazelleskin) and can't buy them from the mb, and you have 3 doors to choose from instead of 2. on the bright side every thief's map spawns a portal.

Happy because raided the deepest room in the Aquapolis 20 times.

Great video, as always! -- Now for the maths, I have an addition to make to your conclusions. The ejection rate did not drop significantly, if you consider each door to entail an independent roll of the dice. It only looks like it because the number of attempts is much lower for the later rooms. If we compute the individual extraction rates, we seem to gravitate around a similar chance of being ejected at each door: 1. 25 / 98 ≈ 25.5% 2. 19 / (98 - 25) = 19 / 73 ≈ 26.0% 3. 16 / (73 - 19) = 16 / 54 ≈ 29.6% 4. 9 / (54 - 16) = 9 / 38 ≈ 23.7% 5. 9 / (38 - 9) = 9 / 29 ≈ 31.0% 6. 6 / (29 - 9) = 6 / 20 = 30% Compounding these failure ratios with their number of respective occurrences, we reach an average failure ratio per door of: [25*(25/98) + 19*(19/73) + ... + 6*(6/20)] / (98 - 14) ≈ 27.13% Given the small sample size, I will speculate and say that the actual failure rate is 25%, i.e. the success rate is 75%. That would make intuitive sense, given that there are 4 outcomes for opening a door and 3 of them are successful. Considering this, the total success rate per map becomes (75%)^6 ≈ 17.80%, which is close enough to the ≈15% rate you actually got. Thanks for reading my rambling. Maths guy out!

One of the great narrative voices in FFXIV 🔥

I ran in a weekly static for Canals of Uznair for a solid 7 months. We got 3 clears in the deepest room. I wish you the best and I'll be watching your achievement numbers to compare them to my own and increase my e-peen.

"Blue mage players are.... Weird" Yes.

I am not ashamed that my Au Ra and one of my Highlander alts got to be involved in this insanity. Another great video Cider.

We now have three things in common : - obsession for achievements points - blue mage is only for Triple Triad (and achievements, ofc) - WHISKY IN COFFEE

This was so well written.. thank you for your efforts in trying to raid the deepest room in the Aquapolis 20 times.

Imagine playing a tabletop RPG with Cider as master his pacing change is amazing and dramatic asfk love it!

i’m currently attempting to raid the deepest room in hidden canals of uznair 20 times and am so excited for all the suffering that entails

Raid the Deepest Room in the Aquapolis was said 15 times.

I really like the weapon you have. It's a nice shin smashing stick.

Just found your channel. Man it's so good. Thank you!

A grind that was well worth it. Congratulations Cider and team!

Oh, so this is why there hasn't been a Mad because Small in quite a while...

before you know it, your 6 rooms deep in that Aquapolussy..... damn it cider i laughed so hard i fell outta my chair at that.

Okay. This is literally one of the funniest maps related videos I've ever seen. XD

U deserve more subs! Amazing editing, good humor and info lol

This popped up in my recommendations randomly. I'm so happy for the algorithm. You got a new sub.

Cider, I see you have descended into the hell of treasure maps too Good luck on your next quest!

I love how you mention someone being a 'failure' while showing your character dressed in a WHM costume next to chilbro's grave. That's fekkin' savage. A+

My partner spent most of the last year working on this achievement. They did a map run every single week with a few breaks with anywhere between 2-4 people from their FC. I can confirm - having watched them scream in despair at a sixth-floor boot, have multiple weeks where one or two portals spawned and they got kicked out on the first or second floor, despite opening like 10 maps between them, and finally seeing them get the achievement at like 4am our local time, after that year of work, where they whooped so loud they'd worried they woke the neighbours - this video is COMPLETELY accurate. They are also thinking of doing the level 70 map achievements now. Godspeed.

Thanks for the video friend! I know still mad because small but, congrats on getting that achievement!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video about raiding the deepest room of the aquapolis 20 times. Also mad because maths. Congrats on another entertaining video!

Stanley then proceeded to enter the door on his left. Stanley was then ejected from the Aquapolis.

This video was so well orchestrated that I wanted to narrate with you. In a land... torn by war... two men... narrated the hell out of it.

This was a really fun one to watch. You actually plan on attempting the hidden canals achievement? You absolute madman!

And here I thought getting to the last floor of Heaven-on-High on your own was hard.

You're 100% correct on the BLU leveling, I did it for the cards. I wanted that sweet, sweet, jammy toast mount. (by far the most time I've ever invested in a single mount in any game, I'm looking at you 3 weeks of Cloud Deck Ex pugs).

I’d love to see more types of these ffxiv shenanigan videos from you! Mad because small is good, but like with any good channel, variety is better.

This is definitely one of the raids of the deepest room in the Aquapolis 20 times of all time.

Mentor roullete Astrope mount-"hold my beer"

It only took one night of this for me to realize the suffering it would induce.

30 seconds in... Well now! Welcome to the achievement hunting community. We have milk, and cookies, and AANNNGEERRRR...! (Partially kidding on one of those points) Also: I totes laughed when I saw your ending and that the likes were already in to mid 200s. lol SUFFERING! \o/

Amazing video and super informative! Maps are fun to do with friends. :D one day I'll go back and finish my 20 deep dives lol But so much to do in game as is hehe

Bigger number better person! Get all those achievements!

Aquapo-WHAT-sy? Thanks, I hate it now. I'm going to have to use that to torment my friends. Also good luck on the thief map grind.

I hit subscribe the second I saw the morbol seedlings. A man of culture.

It was a pleasure helping you drag your poor little lalafell feet through all this torture.

Hey, at least you got a twitch chat for this! I love doing treasure maps put PF is a gamble most nights.

Are YOU the reason Dragonskin maps shot up in price last week? They were going for like 70k :o

This is really interesting, since I also just completed this achievement today, and my stats show the opposite of what yours did: The rejection rate appeared to be higher for the final two rooms than the first four rooms. Mine were showing a 70-75% success rate for rooms 1-4, and right about 50% for rooms 5 and 6. In addition, rooms 3 through 6 all seemed to have around a 20-25% chance to be a rainbow save. All of my runs were done picking the left door exclusively, unless the door was illuminated, in which case I'd pick that one.

Good Vid, I'm actually going for the Hidden Canals of Uznair achievement currently lol.

As one of those weird Blue Mage players, I can confirm that yes, we can solo the level 60 and 70 Treasure Dungeons. :D

My FC does maps every week for a couple hours. We rotate between the 70, 80, and 90 maps every week. In a year of doing about 20 maps per week, we've only reached the end of a treasure dungeon about 4 times. 🤣

Fun drinking game. Every time he mentions raiding the deepest room the in aquapolis 20 times, take a shot.....actually, drink a beer....OK maybe sip it.....OK maybe don't make that a drinking game, i dont wanna be responsible for any deaths.

I was there for the filming of this stupidity and still didn't see the chest after chest joke coming. GJ making me nearly choke on my dinner.

Mr.Bones' Wild Ride: the Ride never stops.

heyyy, i got you beat, been playing for 7 years though. got a fc mate who hunts cheevos and has even more than i do. keep up the good work though! also enjoyed the video, despite the lalafell avatar. :P also just checked and ive only been to floor 7 once.lol

Let me introduce you to "Theif Maps"... happy hunting

Oh buddy, this is neat. Thanks Cider!

Fantastic video

Best way to have access to the most maps is you and your friends mail maps to each other. Your mail box can hold 20 maps and there are mail boxes all over the world.

"Secret Disco Party" lol. My friends and I call it "Rainbow Jesus". We also pray to Ramuh in the later Shifting Altars map dungeons. Recently, a FC mate started calling it "Google Coin Flip Jesus" cause she started trusting her choice to, well, Google Coin Flip lol

Treasure maps are fun huh? :) I've gotten a few achievement but bedamned if I remember them all lol good luck to you sir

Good luck getting the Thiefskin Map achievement--I believe that one is actually the rarest in the entire game.

Do you know the definition of insanity? No? Me neither, let's go!

1:56 Oh, you did NOT.... :D Great video!

Cider is indeed the best drink AND the best youtube person

What a fantastic video! xD

Mad because raiding the deepest room in the Aquapolis

Absolute madlad and hero

That ... discouraged me from ever wanting to do maps ever again lol.

My party did this for the first time last night not even knowing how hard it is to really go through the Aquapolis. We did it first try... probably never again but it was fun!

now I understand why the Wind-up Philos is so expensive. I just want my bro minion man

lmao good luck getting the luckiest of lords/ladies title. We've been doing maps every sat for years and once i had about 30 hidden maps saved up and we didn't get to the end even a single time, i have about 10 collected atm for the next 'attempt'.

Welcome to the club, polis lord~♡

.. and "Big Fish" fishers are like "Oh no!... anyway..."

As a blue mage I can attest to being weird oh and good luck I hope you can pull it off

I started the Lyhe Ghiah version of this and gave up after one session. The portal being random, the correct dungeon being random, the randomized doors. It was such a massive waste of time.

I'd pay money to hear you say "Autobots roll out"

My condolences.

ok, this was a great, expertly crafted video. youtube actually recommending something good :V

The sluices await, Cider.

0:16 "I have also been smoking 10 cigars and drinking my weight in whisky every day since the day I was born"

Only a gigachad like myself gets two portals within an hour and leads their group to the bottom of the 90's treasure map dungeon. That was a good evening.

Watching this realizing I have had 1 clear left to get for this achievement for the past 6 years

Good luck getting the “wings of fire” title

I think that chicken might have worms.

Female Lalafe talking with deepest voice with papaya music on background. Yeah this is just makes Tataru is True Zodiark in Disguise theory more convincing

I think to have anything conclusive about the ejection rate you would have to pick the same door every single run to make sure the only variance is in which door opens. If you switch doors then it's possible to see low numbers simply by getting lucky even if the odds were 50/50. If the odds aren't 50/50 but there are only two choices that could mean two things. Either the choice of door doesn't matter and it's always a dice roll. Or only one door has a chance to open, but you have to roll again from the possible opening animations to see if it actually does.

Hot sultry voice? FFXIV treasure? MATH!? This is my kind of video~

I was watching twtich chat when he pulled some of those scenes in Limsa together.

Now I'm curious what the most difficult achievement is like.

Two whole likes... you're really asking for the impossible here, but here's one to get you started. No idea where you're gonna get the rest from, godspeed to you :v

"The slow regard of stolen things", eh? That's a Rothfuss reference, that is.

I've been trying this off and on for months solo. I'm at 10 clears. I can see the finish line and by god I will get there kicking and screaming.

From my FCs regular map runs, I have noted that getting any bonus on the 3rd stage always gets us ejected. I do not mean the Gamblers chest but the loot mobs that spawn. I think its because it will spawn 2 groups of them at once and so the game says you have enough GET OUT!!!

what emote is the pose at 4:00 ? great video. Also it is true that you can solo as BLU pretty easy, though I have raided the Aquapolis many times and never gotten even once to the 7th room :(

Gather/buy a fuckton of maps, mailing each one to a friend to be mailed back to you for mass map storage in your mailbox. Easy stockpile solution.

I did a ton of maps in the downtime at the end of Stormblood and I never saw the end of hidden canals even once

"you're ready to dominate the entire gym and not return a single plate" 😂 😂 😂 😂 too real, every time u trip on one of those cause lazy gymbros leave them around

Reaching the the deepest room of the aquapolis 20 times related kino

Aquapoussy is a word that will haunt me in my darkest dreams everyday for the next 6 months...

Whenever i see deep dives of content, similar to this; i remember that Yoshi P calls this all "casual content;" And what i can deduce from that is- *HE IS A SADISTIC SON OF A BI-*

Say "Raiding the deepest room in the Aquuapolis 20 time" ONE MORE TIME. ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME.

I know this sounds crazy, but i did this achievement with someone who knew the kill order for each room in aquapolis. Apparently is info she and a few people gathered themselves. She was an achievement hunter on Goblin server. Every room, was a garunteed open (lights on the correct door). I couldn't belive it either, till we consistently got to the final floor. Sometimes she couldnt remember the order, but when she called out a kill order, the correct door was always marked.
