Go ahead.... Admit it

This read his the best...

I just realized, after playing since beta, if you hold the "X" key on the keyboard, all the names of above the characters will be gone except for your own and your party members. This makes finding someone in a group cluster of people (like the toll or in front of the retainer bell) much easier.

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...

Same here... I didn't sell ANY gear since I came back to 2.0 from legacy because I just couldn't bother to write down all the numbers. Then I finally do it for a good 3 days before figured that out.

I didn't know about Focus Target until I got to Hydra and needed it to know when Fear Itself was being cast.

That's... I didn't know... /facepalm

All through 1.0 and about a month after release of ARR I thought it was Camp BluefRog. Turns out it's actually blue fog.

WHAAAAAAT!!! It isn't Bluefrog????

Every day I used to go to the Grand Company HQ or a GC levemete to check what supplies/provisions they wanted for the day and write it in notepad so I didn't forget. Then I discovered that you can go into Timers and click the supplies/provision timer to get a list of what they currently want.

OMG... /cry

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.

I haven't had any of these moments in XIV, perhaps because it's not my first MMO. However, my first MMO experience, I had two of these moments, one of them the very first day.

First day - I tried talking to NPCs, did not understand they weren't players, felt ignored, jaded, got ticked off, until later it clicked. Yeah..

Similar to yours, I gave away perhaps a small fortune by vendoring off items that I accumulated until I discovered the Auction House system.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it took me a few rounds of Wolves' Den matches to realize I wasn't constantly getting matched against someone named "Fresh Meat."

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


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?"

/facepalm

This should be its own button and not linked to the duty finder HUD. I don't want my quests showing all the time, but I DO want my level sync button showing up all the time...just separate the 2 SE.

Realizing that I could get to Vesper Bay via the docks in Limsa Lominsa right next to the Arcanist's Guild instead of teleporting to Horizon and running all the way there.

...after I had finished all the 2.1 Story Quests and had very little additional need to ever go to Vesper Bay ever again.

I used to think foe requiem reduced my damage....( like the previously learned mages ballad )

News to me too. I should really learn to read ability descriptions better.....

.... Are you serious? Of course I would learn this after I have little to no reason to go there.

Just realized your Chocobo Companion sings the chocobo tune when you switch him between the four stances (Healer, Attacker, Defender, Free Stance.) Of course you wont be able to get Rank 10 barding if you do this but who needs barding when you have a singing chocobo...

(I still want the barding /weep...)

When I first got one of my characters THM up to the mid 20s I use to use swift cast scathe as a friend told me it quadruples the damage... Why did I listen to them lol
