k97-bb: It's time Cider for you to start the reel endgame....this is your sign to start Big Fishing

SchrodingerM: Just happy to see uploads from ya again, looking forward to more! Been loving this journey

ladyopheliagames: Cider, I think it may be time for you to consider joining a static for raids. Progging through raids via Party Finder is a literal soul-draining drag, and I've noticed that those with statics not only clear and prog more cohesively but also have fun. Or at least, makes the reclears bearable. I am certain there are people in your community who would be happy to help you progress in a fun, less draining way.

Patron_Saint_of_Gobs: You know the best thing abut achievement hunting: when you are not happy with certain content (like raiding) you can still have tons of fun choosing your own adventure. Love the content regardless of what you are doing; just keep having fun achieving.

Freaksaus: We are so back

LollipopsPizza: I don't miss the Island Sanctuary grind. I spent many hours on that mountain with the pterodactyl. We shared many drinks. Now I'm wrapping up my HW Relic Grind and I never want to see A10S again!

christianpeavey8262: Loved the tier. Probably the best raid series in the game.

I'm sort of looking forward to the new ultimate and beast master but also I too am floundering with reasons to log in. They delayed blue mage which is my favorite content and that really hampered my desire to play.

Currently working Forked Tower to keep myself from quitting.

CastorGaming: The only time I ever engage with Savage-tier raids is when I'm grossly overleveled and doing it unsynced with a friend. I don't have the desire to bang my head against a wall week after week. The music was fantastic (but I can always listen to it on YouTube) and the M12S mount was interesting, I'll admit. But 20 item levels over the Courtly Lover's sets just isn't enough incentive to want to play Savage raiding, especially considering that gear will become available for purchase with Poetics when 8.0 drops.

darkgn0ll: One minute in is genuinely frightening. LOVE this series. Lotro is actually my main mmo and it has a really fun "deed" system which is essentially just a bunch of region-specific achievement. I get the same pleasure from this series! haha

Jaciekakes: Yay Cider's back!

You inspired me to start doing achievement hunting last year and now I've now knocked out most of the big fishing and DoL/DoH achievements.

NoxiousKage: Definitely understand the burnout. For many people I think DT has been the first expansion where a lot of people just...stopped having fun. Never seen my friends list or FC so quiet. I have to mentally convince myself online to play and even then it's mainly because "new fanfest soon, maybe next expansion will improve things" but yeah...you're not the only one dw.

argentpuck: Oh man, it'd been so long I kinda forgot this channel existed. Good to see you back.

Keo-h7g: A small tip for your grand company squadron, for the achievement itself you can just send them out on low level assignments. They're easier to hit guarantee, and the achievement is only for successful completions after all. I quit sending mine out for the high level ones after keeping a few hundred of each item I would use in storage for literal years by now

Your vids have once again gotten me back into wanting to work on my own achievements again, and considering you've stomped me quite well after my near 2 expansions of break I have much to catch up on. I haven't chosen my massive end of expansion grind yet (last time I knocked out Astrope, 3k commends, all final savage floors cleared, and the field commander coat the last 3 months before ShB released and it burned me out far too hard lmao) maybe big fishing or catching up on chocobo racing again. I'll see in a few weeks when my daily/weekly chore amount drops a bit

thethunderspirt87: Nice to see you back

jessicawilson1751: Oh hey! New Cider video! I sadly burned out on FF14 at the end of January. I ended my sub and have been playing other games. I actually just completed all the achievements in Resident Evil 9 on Sunday by completing the Insanity run. Now I'm going back to RE4 and going to attempt cleaning up some of those achievements. Also, I started training for my first marathon so that has become a part-time job, lol.

fdcp: Welcome back Cider! Glad to see content from you again. Take any break you ever need, we'll be waiting for your next "DPS!"

ARKitect101: The long awaited return!

nikkin3752: Welcome back! I'm sorry the start of your year was crazy, but seeing you get back on the grind makes ME want to get back on the achievement grind, so thank you for the motivation!

Scuuurbs: I’m sure you get it all the time, but the voice/avatar juxtaposition is genius.

justakuudere: Glad to see you back!

Duckie0012: Yay more Cider! Welcome back boss.

SDunne: Welcome Back!!!

wordybirdy-z6x: I am in the same boat as you Cider when it comes to the raids as well. I think the Arcadion is aesthetically cool, both visual and music wise; but I just don't have that excitement for them like a bunch of other people do. I dropped out midway progging M9S. I got nothing against these raids honestly, but something in me just feels disconnected from having fun with them now. Party finder and DC travel are certainly contributing to the vibe killer too, but there is more to it than that. I been like you, going back and doing some old achievement hunting. I recently got my 10k HQ Armorer achievement done just last week, and now I am running in circles in the Diadem trying to finish up the gathering part of this content. (For some reason, it feels like its 10x longer to do the gathering part than the crafting.)

Your at what.. 21.7k roughly right now? 3,300 points should be a breeze for ya in 2026. I hope the year will remain chill on whatever soul grind you decided to get hooked on. I occasionally see you around occult crescent or other areas since I am from the same server as you. So, I guess I'll see you around... randomly lol. Happy huntin'. Its nice to see you post again.

Xadaj127: I still need to do the normal tier, partially because I have a tendency to ignore raid content until well after it's relevancy. That, and I don't do savage content unless I can assemble a team to unsync it if it can't be solo'd. I've been working on bicolor gemstone grinding to earn my keep recently, but I'll probably grind last normal tier for equipment later on if I decide to do it at all.

rodimus580: I laugh so much man!! Made my month!! Thank you!

Sargas-wielder: He returns! I've been checking the channel from time to time wondering why I haven't seen a new video recently D: glad you're back!

dken0r216: When the world needed him most, he vanished. The avatar has returned!
