I Went Back to Anemos in 2024 – Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #23



Years after clearing The Baldesion Arsenal, I’m being dragged back to Eureka Anemos to start finishing up the Stormblood relics. These things might take longer than any other relics. Can I finish them before Dawntrail? Let’s find out!

  1. Best QoL discovery : the autotarget function, really handy in raids when the boss becomes untargettable then targettable again. You can just mash your GCD like a lunatic and the game will automatically target the boss without having to click it yourself.

  2. wouldn't really say that the Wind-up Mithra is worthless. It's good for the weekly Verminion grind in Gold saucer. Just use Wind-up Mithra and plow through "Little Big Beast" Can knock out 5 games of verminion and complete the weekly challenge in 10-15 minutes

  3. The setting that impacted me the most is difficult. I've set up controller settings and fixed my screen. But I think one of the best ones was turning off the mount music. Why? That f**** chocobo theme. Good for the first few times. But after spending HOURS going back and forth through ARR areas without flight. Turning that off was amazing.

  4. Biggest quality of life setting? Character based movement! Aka, fuck backpedaling! I want my character to actually turn around and run when I press s, not slowly inch away.

    I can run at full speed doing wall 2 walls, while looking behind me to see all that angry horde that wishes to eat me!

    I can dodge gaze attacks by just simply pressing s after an attack, so I have 100% attack uptime while still dodging gaze attacks 99% of the time.

    Only minor thing to note is that I have long since had the capability to automatically adjust wasd to move in a direction no matter what the camera is facing. So I can swing my camera 180, and my muscle memory just switches from pressing w to s, while not skipping a single step in the direction I was going. If this is not casual muscle memory to you, this might be a bit jarring.

  5. Best quality of life feature I found was not letting gear go to the armoury chest directly, it instead goes to the inventory. This is insanely useful to keep it clean and it's faster to get to gear I want to desynth, since that's what I do with all of the gear I get nowdays.

  6. PROTIP: When you open the 1000s of lockboxes, the NPC right there at the pier that sells replica Eureka relics will buy your vendor trash. The gil adds up fast dumping the tons of duplicate furnishingsclothescrap materia etc.

  7. Helping Cider get through all of Euerka is still one of my favorite moments when he started streaming. Sure I got the clear as well, but being part of what we dubbed the "Mad Baby Five" was great. Plus being involved in the first BA clear was a great feeling.

  8. I would suggest keeping an eye on certain big fish, that are notorious for having rare windows. Like Ealad Skaan is so infrequent and so short a window, it shows as 0.0% uptime. The cursed egg, Cinder Surprise, only has 7 windows until Dawntrail. It absolutely sucks waiting on these fish when they're your last ones

  9. By the way, youre mentioning quality of life changes, the biggest one i found was messing with the w cross hotbar for controller. I know its like. Really common but i didnt know about it until very recently and i also didnt know double tapping triggers got you a different hot bar so i have been raw dogging right bumper switching since the beginning of this game lmao

  10. literally until watching this video i did not know about that open all inventory option.
    My partner recently taught me how glamour plates work so im finally putting outfits together

  11. the most quality of life thing i've done in this game is make target placement a double tap on the button i use. like i have asylum (whm) set to q so i just hit qq and it puts it down wherever my cursor is. based as fuck saved raids

  12. As someone who doesn't play FFXIV and just likes the funny deep voice angry baby, what's the joke with Dragoon that people keep referring to? Is that not a class in XIV, or does it not have achievements like other classes? What about Blue Mage?

  13. Favorite qol thing for me would be user macros. As a tank main, having easy to use shirk or nascent flash on the other tank is super useful for not fumbling, since i play on controller.

  14. Untradeable, but sellable to NPCs. My Doman reconstruction is built from the scraps of Amenos lockboxes.Timber? Recycled wardrobes. Leather bits? Recycled amenos gloves. Cushions? Recycled Amenos shirts. They paid me DOUBLE what the rest of the world would pay. Idiots! (I did not open 2800 lockboxes at once.)

    The greatest QoL feature is one I personally requested and they added into the UI about a year later. You can sort the list order of your retainers. Now my botanist, miner, and fisher retainer are all next to each other, and the battle retainers are below them.
