Go ahead.... Admit it

Admit something mind blowingly simple that you have managed to overlook since day one. One of those "are you kidding me" moments.

I've got two:

People always talk about how easy it is to make money while leveling crafting jobs. Somehow I managed to net lose about 50,000 gil each time I would level DOH jobs from 1-50. Well one day I decided to sell all of the extra mats/junk I had accumulated and clean out my inventory.... Made back a ton of Gil. Idiot.

Also didn't realize where the "level sync" button was until about four months in. I had always turned off the Duty list on the screen to reduce clutter. When I'd ask, people would say "uhhh...click that big as button that says level sync maybe?"

Focus target, i always thought people were referring to actually physically focusing on a target.
Also after playing since launch just a few weeks ago i discovered i could move my hud around
Around the same time I also learned you can add more then 2 hotbars and assign hotkeys to them lol

Took me about 3 months to learn where the aggro meter is (found out during titan hard mode run).

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.

It took me several months to realize you can look at an items market history through the retainer "Sell item on the market board" window. I still have a bunch of useless notepads lying around where I was taking notes of the marketboard for item prices...


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.

The gridania-east shroud ferry was a complete mystery to me until recently.

Until the ES was a total pain to get to.

I'm still completely lost in the torn land area west of fallground float. I lose all sense of direction in that brown and grey hell.

For a couple months, I didn't realize Berserk could be used to gain 1 stack of Wrath. When I did, omg new possibilities.

Brb punching myself in the face!

I did beast tribe dailies for probably a month before I realized you could click off the Mounted buff to get off the borrowed mounts. Spent so long running around being sniped at by Amalj'aa archers and THMs while I thought to myself "I sure wish I could hop off this lizard and fight them."

i would consistently wipe to plumes in titan hard because I'd try to back-pedal out of them. it wasn't until almost a month of wipes that someone told me about the legacy camera settings.
