PlayStation.Blog Exclusive Q&A: Naoki Yoshida Details FFXIV’s New Mentor System

[Ilitsa]

Remember, kids : Do your undersized Ifrit normal to get that 1000 dungeons achievement for the mentor requirement! Only 25 seconds per run needed~

Because apparently SE didn't thought it through with this.

or, alternatively, you can just not be lazy and actually, like, PLAY the game. I know, it's an incomprehensible idea, but it can be done, I assure you.

I've been relatively lazy with doing dungeons and stuff since early access of ARR, and I'm up to almost 3,000 dungeons just from leveling my classes and doing roulettes on occasion. If you have to resort to something like "Ifrit normal mode 1000 times", then the mentor system is probably not meant for you.
