Mad because small mentor! At long last I’m diving into the mentor roulette grind in Final Fantasy XIV. Let’s see how many I can clear before Dawntrail comes and changes the requirements. We might even get a few achievements along the way. :p

Hey Cider! Enjoy the mentor roulette journey. It is certainly a long one, and sometimes can be unlucky. I've had days when I am like "I am going to do 10 mentor roulettes." and then I get 3 Praetorium runs in a row and I just threw in the towel and called it haha. (It's not a good idea to do them during moogle tome events if you want to avoid MSQ roulette mix mash.) There are def cursed days, but I hope you do not have to deal with too much of them.
The Mentor Roulette strat to make it more entertaining is to data center travel to Aether and to queue as a dps. Doing this will increase your odds of getting an extreme as high as they can go. Recently finished my 2000 with this strat. Would have torn my hair out if I had to do Castrum/Prae/Low level dungeons as healer for that many runs for sure!
It’s worth mentioning this is the only roulette where your role choice (tank, healer or DPS) can influence what you get. DPS tend to get a wide variety, tanks less so with a slightly higher focus on 8-man content and dungeons, with healers getting mostly dungeons.
it's always nice to see new sprouts, good sign the game is still alive. Although you can never know how many of them are just alts, I guess. 😀
I'd like to do mentor roulette myself as well…
But I do not want to relive the annoying "learning" group experience of extreme raids. Some people just need to go do something else because they cannot learn at all. No tips will help someone who isn't paying attention.
or play in first personAs a sprout, thank you!
I thought i was watching a video by pint and wondering why the video makers voice is so low
… 15m i checked the video makers name. Liked and subbed.
The way I've remembered the Qarn puzzle for almost a decade now is "Flaming Fruit" = it's a pop tart you put in the toaster. Flame goes on the left, fruit goes on the right, then you push the toaster handle. It's so dumb that' it's unforgettable.
I did mentor roulette like 100+ times years ago (now stopped) and it usually gave me under lv 50 dungeons and susanoo extreme once.
"Mentor roulettes aren't bad at all." My brother in christ, you have done NINE!
why does the face covering the chat look like ben shapiro
fLame/fRuit. tells you in the name lol!
I have like 6000k+ hours in this game and I learned this last week
dont forget the stick you get hit a 2000 times is going right up your a..
Kinda makes me want to play FFXIV again.
man one of my friends got me hook with your content becuase im been playing ff14 online for 5 months and i find you very funny
ill never be able to do the mentor stuff cuase no one ever commadates in this game sadly im 800/1500
This video gave me the courage to finally try mentor roulette. My first duty… The Striking Tree (Extreme). Props to the sprouts, we did it…
5:50 My inner German always says "How Ke (as in like Kelvin but with a very dominant double K) Manor" just like the "German" name "Hauke".
The math on this is frankly tragic. Not on the duties, but on the timing. At a pace of 10 duties on Mentor Roulette each week, this grind will take just under 4 years. Godspeed, Cider
Going to get a rail drop? YaeEEAH!
Tank in need is a lie. It's always healer.
There was a path down in Darkhold. The frogs could knock you down and people would die to fall damage.
You're the worst kind of mentor
I’ve been running mentor for about 2 weeks roughly getting 15-20 a day before work(depends on if I get guildhests) I honestly love it so far and the few extremes I’m getting arnt that bad. I’m also doing it solely as DPS so I can be “ignorant” 😂😂
getting guildhests are the best! what sucks is when u get ramuh or levi ex
