Welcome back to another exciting week of Final Fantasy XIV, where we’ll be taking on Triple Triad achievements for the first time in this series. I was a big card collector back in Shadowbringers, but have been neglecting the grind ever since. Now today we’ll be taking a look at what it takes to get caught up for Dawntrail…

The servant in the Leveilleur estate was brutal. I must've spent over an hour winning, losing, drawing, and she would not cough up her card. What's even better is on the wins and losses, her comments say that she used to play with the twins, which is why Alisae is such a poor loser and Alphinaud is so strategically minded.
It was her!
Celia, My enemy, my friend.
To be fair…using that song did make me Smile 😂
Grinding all cards is annoying af the npcs cheat so hard i can't even get pissed anymore… Plus, Chaos, Order etc. All can suck my ass
"you might have to defeat an npc dozens of times"
my record so far is around 400 :^)
Good luck, I spent 6 years collecting every card with the time I had, and the drop chances for some of the cards before it was upgrade was less then 1%
Sorry to say, but you absolutely do need the special Ex cards for achievements XD I have every base card (not the Ex's, missing 4 from tourneys) in the game save 1, and I'm still 3 cards short of getting the achievement to unlock that one haha There just aren't enough cards in the game currently to get that one yet without the ex's. Obviously you can always wait for more cards to release though 🙂
I still can't listen to Wuk Lamat's dialogue without telling her to shut up instinctively. That's how much I hated that dialogue by the end of Dawntrail.
it was in 8 then 9 then 14
It is incredibly ironic that the only time anyone wants wuk Lamat to show up (as a card for an achievement), she’s can’t. Thanks to Blue Mage! Guess BLU really is the most overpowered job. LOL! SMIIILLLLEEE AND LET THE RAINBOW SIIIIINNNGGGG
Was tabbed away from the video when the smile bomb went off – ptsd triggered from the subathon. xD
You can level blue mage under the sea if you bait wurms into a plant.
oh thank god u finally did a triple triad video. been wanting that mount but I could never remember how the rules sets work. now I've got a cheat sheet. thank you mad baby
thank you for putting alphinaud's milf in the leopard print bikini I am now going to jizz uncontrollably for several minutes
I could have finished the DT MSQ faster if the damn triad players would have given me the cards…but I refused to continue until I got them.
Also good to not for those just starting their triad journey (or starting their XIV adventure in general) start as soon as possible so you can get the dungeon/raid drops passively while doing MSQ or roulettes so you dont have to hard grind them later. Also using a tracker to find out what NPCs you have to beat and which ones would be locked behind side quests are also important but not super required.
People that claim to understand Plus claim to like it, but they get real silent when they get plus combo'd combo'd combo'd on the last turn. There's a website called arrtripletriad that functions as a checklist for cards and duels you might be able to use. I haven't been subbed in years so I don't know how consistently updated it is these days but it looks like it's at least up to 7.0. In my experience the recommended deck is almost always poops, you could probably build a better one with whatever you've got. You're also probably going to want to jump on the tournament bus sooner than later because that's very time gated. And last, for a good time drag a m8 to the Typhon GATE at the Gold Saucer and challenge them to a duel on the stage. I used to call those shadow games. All of my progress towards the Typhon achievement comes from those.
Went through the 122/123 npc suffering recently. Went through the entire goddamn list before i hit return and saw it was the innkeep in my starting city. I feel nothing.
The CPU is a cheating asshole. Triple Triad feels like early game Puzzle Quest in how broken it is.
these daily ddos attacks are getting annoying
Man, the TT mount challenge is the first thing I ever tried to accomplish and I'm one card short because I'm bad at Blue Mage. ; _;
TT card collecting good, I'm just missing the Origenics card to have all of them atm.
Anyway perhaps this is a sign that it's Blue Mage time
There is some in shadowbringers mecha trials zone thing where you chilled with gaius
YOUR REALLY FUNNY JUST SO YOU KNOW
At least you picked a grind that's not punishing to DC from this week.
I somehow missed that the twin's mom was a custom deliveries NPC and it just stunned me seeing her wearing THAT. What was SE thinking giving the players this much power xD
That question mark card between the Rokkon ones is actually related to level 80 Blue Mage
Not my 3 month old crying when the smile song started… xD
I guess blue mage will help in deleting un synced dungeon bosses instantly, but it still….sucks…
