Go ahead.... Admit it

It was only until 2 months into the game that I realized, that you I have to withdraw the money you make from your retrainers.

Never really noticed it, because I was making little gil, so when I found that out I was shocked.

I didn't know monk got perfect balance even through MNK was my first lvl 50 job until yesterday ....

You can do what now!? Lol, I had no idea. I always 'return' (to Ul'dah) and pay a chocobo porter while I do something else for 2 minutes.

I had been self-repairing my gear by right-clicking the item and clicking repair from the dropdown menu. It's super tedious, especially when you try to find things you need to repair in the armory chest. Well today on a whim I right-clicked the repair icon in the actions and traits window. It brings up repair UI that's just like the NPC one... including an option to 'Repair all".

I am very glad I was not the only person to think Bluefog was Bluefrog. My FC would not let me hear the end of it.

Yeah back in 1.0 I used to call "Bluefog" "Bluefrog" for a bit as well.

about a week after i hit lvl 50 on my bard, i found out that hitting R1 on ps3 goes to your next Cross Bar.

Took me nearly two months of playing till I learned how to sell stuff to npc ^___^;;;;

Shift + M for markers and waypoints. Saved me a ton of clutter on my IU and supper simple to navigate all markers this way, even easier than finding them on my IU.

I JUST noticed there is footsteps in the snow now! :o (Is this since 2.2?)

Took me 3 months to learn you could resize HUD elements by pressing ctrl+Home...sigh...

When i started the game,i thought reseting my dots was a waste of time -.-

i just started playing recently, so this thread has been very helpful and informative for me.

....also just found out you can trade in certain dungeon drops for seals.

been NPCing stuff for like 200gil. wth.

/facepalm2

Yeah, when the game launched I was too lazy to figure out the retainer/market board system, so I just NPC'd a bunch of stuff. Geez...

I'll chalk that one up to being so afraid that we were using something similar to the 1.0 retainer system.

I tried to convince myself that "at least I always had HQ Quicksilver" in order to lessen the pain a bit. ^^;

Just found out this week that a vendor sells Cotton Yarn. I wasted tons of shards making this stuff for undyed velveteen...

.....what.

/headdesk

Apparently you can favourite up to 3 destinations for cheap teleports. I didn't know this for the first six months of the game.

Clouds cast shadows.

My face when I realized this.

Scholar facepalm- I didn't know what aetherflow did until I ran out of MP in Sunken temple.

...and if you use a security token you get an additional free teleport location. Better than 'Home' as no 30 minute cool down!

Submit. Kinda like how you can add old completed items in to a recipe that calls for a completed item, in order to make it a Vintage item or w/e.

! Never knew this. I want all those million minutes of my life back manually searching

i killed myself a few times on leviathin as my blm an my wifes brd before i finally decided to check the buffs on levi's head & tails lol

When I was running a Satasha in LL DR in 2.1 when I received the achievement for fully exploring the dungeon. I facepalmed real hard that night.

<_< That's a helpful one to know might have to play around with that.

As a tank/healer I never noticed/paid much attention to the enmity bar on the party list, think I only noticed it a bit during the start of end game lol.

I've been well aware that it's Bluefog for a while now yet out of habbit I still call it Blue Frog!

I just realized you can access each city/states ayethernet from the main aytherite... I used to run to the nearest one after teleporting to the city/state.

I still haven't gotten the achievement and pretty sure many other didn't! Everyone seems to skip rooms there.

THAT'S A THING!?! /facepalm .....I had no idea....

For the first month and a half after launch I didn't realize those small aetherytes around town where a connected teleport system. Doh!

I learned recently that there is a reason why it lists which city the retainers are based in when you're buying off the market board. If you're in Limsa and the retainer you're buying from is in Ul'Dah or Gridania, you have to pay a fee. If the retainer is also in Limsa, you don't have to pay anything extra! I've saved SO MUCH GIL since learning this. /facepalm

It also took me all of beta to realize that there was threat bar indicators under the party frames icons. That was an epiphany that made the planets align.

omfg the same happend to me, i even wrote the pricetags lmao

It took me ages to realise I didn't need to logout in the inn to get rest bonus, I always made sure I was in the inn then friend told me "you know all cities, towns, outposts are classed as rested zones right"...

To your credit in the beginning your friend was only partly right. In the 2.0 days cities did not count, but Inns did. That was changed in 2.1.

See that's what I thought, I was away working during 2.1 and only came back in 2.2 and I was sure you had to be in the inn, thanks for the clarification
