Helping a Friend Farm Shared FATEs in Dawntrail – Progress, Rewards & Upcoming Guides!"

       Didn't feel like getting into too much last night, spent the night with one of my friends helping him farm FATES in Dawntrail zones.  He's working to get all his Shared FATES complete then the long grind for the gemstone vouchers for the awesome mount.  We polished off a bunch in just 40 minutes time, a great example of getting a good amount done in under an hour with the help of just one friend!     Also with that said a FATE guide and our own Gathering Timer and Tracker are in the works and coming very soon, excited about that, check back soon or leave me a comment!! - Caezar

FFXIV Eureka Orthos Guide (Patch 7.1) – Best Strategies, Dangerous Mobs & Boss Tips

  Eureka Orthos Guide ** Updated 2/17/24 ** Introduction      Eureka Orthos is a Deep Dungeon in FFXIV, similar to Palace of the Dead and Heaven-on-High. It features randomly generated floors, unique mechanics, and a progression system that resets each run. This guide will help casual players efficiently navigate Eureka Orthos, covering strategies, dangerous enemies, and useful Pomander usage.     What's great about Deep Dungeons is there is a 1 hour time limit, which fits perfect in our 1 hour playtime theme.  Earlier floors can be done well within this, 20-30 minutes for some.  But it's a guarantee to be able to get through one in a night, sometimes 2 sets of floors, so it's easy to make progress through out a week.  ** Work in Progress -- expanded information soon** Basics of Eureka Orthos Protomanders & Demiclones Managing Protomanders effectively can determine the success of your run. Below is a breakdown of each type and its bes...

Fishing Progress - 1 Hour at a time

  Final Fantasy XIV Casual Jobs Tier List If you’re a casual player with limited time to play Final Fantasy XIV , choosing the right job can make all the difference in your experience. Some jobs are more forgiving, require less memorization, and allow you to jump in and have fun without feeling overwhelmed.
