In WoW whenever I don't raid or farm mythic+, I continuously farm artifact power to get that 1% advantage over other players. But what does FFXIV provide outside of raids and dungeons that give players direct power advantage in the open world if players have the time to farm all day? The open world content in FFXIV is dreadful... fates provide no power gain advantage.

this thing called crafting

this thing here its green because it means gathering..

this thing is a axe for other jobs..

this thing is blue for blue mage

this thing is a dead animal for gathering monster drops to sell or use

there is this thing called currency farming to sell...

this thing called fishing....

this gold poach for playing the market

(legitly you can play everyday just fine) a patch isnt the entire game lol
