Now that Derrick has properly begun Final Fantasy XIV, it’s time to move to the more standard format of this ongoing series where he highlights the things he accomplished in the past week. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a ton of time to play but he was able to explore some of the highlights of Gridania and continue the questlines of both the main story and the Lancer as he explores more of the Shroud!

For anyone who doesn’t know like Derrick did joining a preferred server you get the road to 70 buff. Last 3 months and gives you a significant boost to your exp gains for all your classes. It’s so satisfying jumping like 3 levels during a dungeon XD
Glad to see more and more people joining Eorzea.
Yeah best quests to focus on are Blue icons they unlock new content, dungeons, systems and abilities for your job.
And Meteor symbols as those are your main story quests.
Normal yellow quests are more or less to learn lore, get gil etc etc
yo that is a clean thumbnail picture! Gonna be following you're journey, idk why but I love watching people discover this game
I got FF14 for Christmas and just couldn’t find motivation to continue after the free trial. It reminded me of the worst parts of FF15. Go here. Kill this thing. Come back. Go to next story mission. Repeat.
Okay, but who made the thumbnail art? It's really nice.
Also, worth noting is that ARR is that it starts out quite slow. But yeah, the expansions are where things go from cool to awesome.
looking forward to your first dungeon next episode (i’m guessing), maybe amy can even join you for it
Novice Network is just not worth the chaos, and yeah, there’s a lot of “Mentors” who just wanted the crown next to their name.
Levequests are mostly useful for non-combat classes, except for getting to dungeon levels where they can be useful for combat classes, otherwise they’re best saved for levelling crafters or gatherers
This is going to be a super relaxing series
Excited to see more!
More ff14
Knowing nothing of FFXIV, I really like that you gave life to this series! Thank you
Too explain a bit about the moogle vendor asking for those irregular tomestones: Around the end of the patches cycle, about a month before the next patch, specific content in game(dungeon's, pvp, ect) will be flagged as dropping irregular tomestones. You then trade them in for rare items that would be much more difficult to try to earn normally, if not near impossible in some cases, for a much easier grind. However this only lasts until the release of the next patch, though the vendor stays to ensure you are able to still buy items into the new patch. Roughly the next cycle of this should be around mid March.
Are you doing a bravely default 2 review?
Any ability that doesnt go on cooldown when others do is an "off global cooldown" and you can use it in between the "global cooldown" skills that all share the same 2.5 seconds (made shorter by skill speed) cooldown
Hey Derrick! Enjoying this LP of ff14 so far
I hope you've been having fun with it too because it's one of my favourite games to play and chill with. Looking forward to your progression through the story! 
You’re making me want to try the free trial with this play through! Great video!
After 8 years of trying I finally got a house.
The Miqo'te Gear available at that trader is just the initial gear that you start out with (in both male and female versions), in case you want it because you A: discarded your original racial gear set, B: changed races (or gender) and your previous set does no longer fit your character.
Either way, racial gear is only ever useful for the itemlevel for the quest that requires you to have gear of itemlevel 5 or better, glamours, or when you begin levelling a new class and you don't want to run around in your smallclothes.
Free Companies and Hunts are not related. Therefore you can do Hunts on the free trial.
Watching you going over the hunt log, I must say that I love how attentive you are at the game. It throws so much stuff at you, and you'd be surprised how many people never notice that the indicator above a mob's name shows that it's a hunt log monster.
While you were fighting the Lumber Toad for the Lancer class quest, a circular AoE centered on the mob appeared. You may have noticed that you walking backwards out of the AoE was sloooooooow. In many cases, this would be too slow to comfortably get out of the AoE. Turning your character by 90 degrees and strafing out of the orange circle will be quicker.
YES! THE ROAD TO ENDWALKER VIDEO'S OUT!
I usually did the side quests after having finished the main scenario quests.
1:44 – not really much worth spoiling unfortunately
Thankfully he decided to not try to do all side quests lol
