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! (Is this since 2.2?)

For the first month I sold all the junk I collected to vendors. Monster drops, quest rewards that I didn't actually need, materia... everything. Then I started dabbling in crafting & all the vendors were like: /trollface.

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.

When I was leveling ALC, I ended up buying tons of Cinnabar from the city Tradeskill Merchant in order to convert it into Quicksilver, for use with level-equivalent recipes. Sometime well after I had reached ALC50, I scrolled down the vendor list a little bit more and saw that he sells Quicksilver too, at practically the same price.

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...

Upon returning to the game at the start of 2.0, I was eager to customize my retainers much so that I wanted to clean out and toss any old junk that I had... the first thing was about 20 or so Cracked Materia (ranging from I to IV) only to find out some weeks later that I could've turned said materia into whichever I wanted and could've made millions off of...

.....what.

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