Anyway, long long ago, everyone got all hyped, hoping that we'd get nice, simple pet battles to kill the time. Or something like that. At this point it feels like a safe assumption that we won't get it in ffxiv, so like. Fuck it, let's just rip this system hypothetically from WoW and have some fun. This isnt really a suggestion in any way, just me working through how it could work in an xiv context.

spoilers: it's the same, pet battles are fun and I love collecting things

Basically the 'purpose' of this would be, primarily, collecting. Fill out a massively expanded minion bestiary and battle NPCs

So this isn't a huge thing, but it has me curious!

When you're doing Namazu quests, the "item" they ask you to make differs based on what class you are. For example, the confetti quest asks a LTW (i think) to make frames for more paper, and a BSM for more scissors. The tea quest asked a LTW for strainers, and a BSM/ARM for the tea pot!

It ultimately effects nothing in the quest, but it's a nice attention to detail! (Especially after years of wondering what the hell you can make in a frying pan for an airship)

So, I was wondering what other item requests you guys have seen? C: I'm especially curious about the gatherer side of things!

Just went up at 12 noon PST, so if you wanted the Gold Saucer stuff or the Ravana shirt, get there fast! :)

(I am assuming quantities are limited, but if they aren't then hey! Ain't that swell.)

I know they're bi-weekly, just to get that out there.

But I'm admittedly bad at remembering when I picked the last one up/when the last reset for them was. So I'm not sure if there is a new one this week? If so, is it another Azsuna one?

I'm not sure if mine freaked out or not, but I saw a quest for Archaeology in Dalaran tonight, figured I'd just not noticed it the last day or so (I've got another quest or two over there I've been ignoring), and it sent me to Azsuna. But when I talked to the Reliquary guy in Azsuna, it just... ended? He has no follow-up quest, so I'm wondering if the 25/25 quest just freaked out a bit and halfway reactivated for me, or if it actually broke and I should
