Grand Nagus:

Final Fantasy XIV Online:

These past weeks, I have been working on my crafting jobs some more. Contrary to WoW, in FFXIV you can learn every job there is all on the same character, that includes all crafting and gathering jobs, what WoW would call professions.

This is an overview over my progress right now, out of a max level of 100:

Our Valentines Day event has started on the Feb. 3rd

And runs until Feb. 17th:

This year, the rewards for completing the event questline will be an emote of your character kneeling down and presenting a bouquet of red roses. Along with the emote, the event vendor will offer a few items for sale, like fireworks and event themed things, including the second new item for this year, that being the advertisement art player housing picture from last year. That one is likely NOT locked behind completing the questline.

With patch 7.18, launching on Feb. 25, we’ll get a new emote from a collaboration between FFXIV and instax.

It’s a emote everyone can get for free, though I'm not sure how it’s obtained.

Grand Nagus:

We are in the middle of the New Year’s Event, called ‘Heavensturn’

I promptly used the tabletop dish in my new OCE house, this is how it looks on the table among others:

I used the mugs from the Christmas event, as you can see, since i don’t have the reagents and materials on this character, yet, to craft coffee or tea cups, so i bought a few more Christmas mugs so i can use them.

As part of the event you can raffle for a fortune, good fortune or bad fortune, so i’m really happy with that. It’s just a cosmetic thing that doesn’t have any ingame power, just for fun.

I won the lottery on my Oceanic homeworld for a beach front house. It was a really nice new year's present.

Materia DC, Sephirot World, Ward 21 Plot 19.

I don’t have a Message book yet, and the house is classified as ‘Under Renovation’ for now, but you are more than welcome to stop by.

I’ve been unlocking a few new submarine destinations in my FC Workshop.

Submarines and Airships are basically timed exploration missions that can take up to 1,5 IRL days to complete, depending on the speed of the vessel and how many destinations you visit. You level up your ships

AprilPvd in VR:

So I don’t think I wanna play with kids anymore. You get a lot of loud noises in the background and I messed up. He wasn’t giving clear. He was trying to order me around drop the anchor raise the anchor. Let’s just keep going nice and he was just very basically annoying and we ended up dying which happens I mean, gosh it’s just a game and then he ran back to tell everybody how awful I was.

Sail

Loaded money up on my steam account so that I could buy the blue coins in SAIL which I used for cosmetics. I wanted to make a purple boat. Turns out you cannot buy the coins on steam, and you can only buy them on the Meta version. I met a character was only level two so I immediately stop playing Steam and work to level up my Meta character. But there is the daily challenge in which you can earn blue coins, 101 challenge and between five and 50 when you spin a wheel. So I’ve been hopping onto the Steam version every day to complete the challenge, hoping to get enough of the blue coins, too get some cosmetics.
