    Haha, I'm Australian so forgive my ignorance!

    I figured "score" was along the lines of what we do - we just make them up.

    Ha, I estimated as much. Just be proud that you know the wonders of James Cook while poor American children may never hear the name.

    So far I have included information sourced from the gathering and fishing logs, and the official website. When I'm home after work, my next source shall be botany/fishing/mining levequests which have great tidbits of information on some locations

    Added some new information to the original post - and I have a lot of extra information which seems to break my first post. Maybe too many characters/words? I do not want to start a new thread and be overbearing in the Lore forums for stuff which I find interesting, hehe.

    I may have to start another thread for the Creatures of Hydaelyn, as I find that fascinating too.
    Creatures of Hydaelyn:
    • In one season, an Ochu can produce over one hundred seeds, which if they germinate, each turn into a Microchu, which readily suck nutrients from the soil starving other plants (Leve: Evil Seeds).
    • Roselet saplings, sprouting usually on trees, will send taproots into the tree's core and divert nutrients to its own body, causing withering and damage to the host (Leve: The Heart of the Hedge).
    • Gobbues are said to eat up to three times its own weight each day; larger gobbues weigh upwards of three hundred stone (Leve: Appetite for Abduction).
    • Chocobos naturally dig, and are trained to unearth mushrooms, tubers and hidden treasures - however this talent for instinctive digging also sees chocobos removing fence posts and other partially-burried items (Leve: Digging Deep).
    • Piestes enjoy eating Lalafells, arguably because of a Lalafells' "squat, rotund build" which "makes the easier to swallow whole" (Leve: What Piestes Crave).


    Questions I have:
    • Find the source for chocobos - are they native to Coerthas?
    • Miqo'te Sunseeker tribes have animal totems. It is said that they followed animals across the frozen sea (Website) - would these totem animals not found in Eorzea, such as bears and hipparions (an extinct relative of the horse in the real world), be found in this homeland? Would the ones found in Eorzea, like marmots and gigantoads, also be present there?

    Hydaelyn really interests me, but the more I learn, the more my theory that Hydaelyn is actually a giant Coblyn Primal who is readying war against the dark Doblyn Primal is being disproven...

    Sylphs love milkroot, a psychedelic drug- http://xivdb.com/?fate/615/Got-Milkroot

    I think all Qiqirn are suckers for chicken eggs. At least Kyokyoroon in Limsa is - http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Never_Forget

    I think Qiqirn love eggs period, regardless of where those eggs come from (there's a crab NM FATE in Upper La Noscea that the quest info states was created by qiqirn imprisoning a crab in the shallows to harvest it's eggs for food, not realizing the crab in question was actually male ). Not to mention another FATE in Eastern La Noscea has a qiqirn enlisting adventurers to collect penguin eggs for him to eat (although they're not actually penguins, but basilisks).

    So yeah, I think qiqirn just love eggs of all kinds, no matter what animal they come from.

    Qiqirn do love eggs - including dodo eggs, as per the Tiny Tortoise fishing log. There is also a fate where a Qiqirn says that he likes all eggs, including "round eggs and square eggs," although he has never seen a square egg.

    I've been out of this forum for far too long...

    You've described O'Ghomoro as an inactive Volcano. She is in fact active. Not only is smoke rising from her, but the Navel has lava flowing through it. Furthermore, this behaviour suggests O'Ghomoro is what we call a "Shield Volcano", producing primarily calmer, basaltic flows. An Earth comparison would be Muana Loa, of the Hawaiian Islands.
