Warrior of Light: Slays gods, journeys to far-off lands, saves (almost) everyone they come across Also Warrior of Light: Is utterly baffled by Lords of Verminion and Doman Mahjong

“Mahjong Master” is very difficult to get because not only do you have to learn the rules of MJ, you have to actually be better at it than most people, which is pretty hard if you haven’t been studying it for years.

I actually got Mahjong Master recently (and I've never played it outside of FFXIV); it's definitely not "free" but I think you may be overestimating the difficulty. You don't have to be better at it than most mahjong players, you just have to be better at it than most FFXIV players - which isn't nearly as hard because a large percentage of them are starting from a position of relative inexperience. Mahjong is super fun though. The initial learning curve is definitely on the steep side but once you get through it it's great edit: TBF, the achievement is still quite time-consuming; even if you play well you're still going to get dunked on sometimes, 'cause that's just how mahjong is.

A very difficult one (mainly due to the time investment) is 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Saucer'. It requires 7 other achievements to get and rewards you with 20 achievement points and the High Roller title. To get it you need 500 sanctioned Chocobo race wins, 1,000 Triple Triad roulette match wins, 100 Triple Triad tournament match wins, complete 100 GATEs, complete the 'Any Way the Wind Blows' GATE (which is heavily RNG-dependent) 10 times, and win a total of 1,000,000 MGP from both the Mini Cactpot and the Jumbo Cactpot. On the bright side, you don't have to play Verminion.

Hoo boy, the Jumbo Cactpot one. That shit took me approximately five years of playing it pretty much every week. Never got higher than 3rd place in that time (although I did get a 2nd *after* I got the achievement).

I saw this achievement and nope'd out immediately... Then one very lucky week I managed to get my mad bird ring and suddenly it was attainable. The grind was on and only a few months later I am a High Roller! I would never have attempted it if it weren't for the lucky jumbo win.
As someone who has collected 20k hoards, there's a pretty easy way to gather them all but it still obviously takes a lot of time. Go to HoH, start floor 1-10 and obtain a pomander of intuition, then start 11-20 and obtain a pomander of concealment. Once you have at least 1 of each of those you can go into floors 21-30 and once you enter pop your intuition, if there's a hoard you pop you concealment and run to the chest and get your hoard, leave then re-enter over and over seeing if a hoard is on that floor or not.

Easy, yes, but also the most absurd timesink in the game assuming average skill at all activties. Assuming you aren't the worst player in the world, no skill-based activity takes this long and assuming you aren't the unluckiest one, none of the rng-based ones take this long either.
Not surprised it was a Japanese player. Didn't they also get that pterodactyl mount that required some insane amount of crafting for the Ishgard restoration?

The "Fish Fear Me" achievement has gotta be one of the rarest ones out there right now, and one of the most insanity inducing: You have to complete every entry in the entire fishing log, including all the Legendary fish in order to get it. For reference, all the big fish have insane conditions to appear, like along the lines of "must be midnight on the equinox under a full moon after the sunken city of R'lyeh has risen from its watery grave." And that's just to have a chance for the fish to bite (no guarantees there!). Oh, but it gets better: even if you are ridiculously over-geared for the fish in question (i.e. trying to catch the legendary fish for the Feast of Famine quest), there is still like a 50% chance that the fish will escape when you hook them, even if you're kitted out in BiS level 90 gathering gear that's been penta-melded on all pieces! I think my best friend is one of like maybe 2 people on my entire server who has that achievement. Of course, she's also got pretty much every other fishing achievement you can get as well (not sure if she's got On a Boat V which gives the "World-class Troller" title, but I know she's working towards it).
I have Mahjong Master on one of my characters and it's one of my proudest achievements!
I’m still on the free trial. Mainly because you get so much content for free, and I can save money. But I told myself I would get the PotD title before then. 6 months of grinding and I’ve died to Behemoth on 180 so many times. I took a year break and recently came back and finally beat 180 just to die on 185. It’s so disheartening, but I will get the Necromancer one day.

You will, because you're doing the most important thing to get it. Trying. Again and again till you get it! I've only gotten to 10, I think it was 10. I kept dying on the very last floor of the first round. Same thing 5 or 6 times. I'm not usually that terrible I swear.. lol I haven't been back since that week. Maybe Ill do that after I get my warrior lvl'd Trying to get an easier achiev with 1 of each to 90. Just a lot of time. Good luck! Hope you got it.
Im working on the title, cleared Sildihn savage last week and cleared Mount Rokkon yesterday. I'll get it! 💪🏻
Love the content! Please keep it up!
To discover 20,000 pieces of the Accursed Hoard, you're supposed to obtain and keep a Pomander of Intuition in your inventory for F51-60, then spam F61 (yes, only F61) with the Intuition active. If there is a Hoard, seek it out, then quit the duty and restart F61. If there isn't... well, quit the duty and restart F61 anyway. Do this for one month straight. No, I did not do this, but I met someone who did, and they explained how they did it.

People use bots for this actually and you dont even need the pomander since the treasures are always in certain spots so you can make bots stop and try to spawn the treasures at every location.

Hey Avy :) i can completly agree with you about the Hunt Archivments. I'm a Hunter myself and got 3 months ago my Centurio Tiger. And happy about it. It took me (if i dont count my breaks) around 2 years to get this mount. Now i'm on my way to get the SHB & EW Mount too :)
Your accent sounds like a mixture between rest-of-the-world-accent and scottish-accent. Very easy listening. 10/10
Centurio tiger I have, as well as the triceratops - but I have a long way to go to get Victor (The pug). Lonely Hero is a title I have, but the furthest I ever got running solo in POTD was floor 180. I would like to try Criterion Savage.

The "Deeper End IV" probably is the rarest achievement over the course of the game. It was added in Stormblood and the earliest I knew someone getting it was in Shadowbringers after BLU was able to solo the prerequisite maps. "For the Hoard VI" was a lot more recent and got added with the new Eureka Orthos Deep Dungeon. For reference, the clear rate is about 1% for these 7 floor maps. To get 20 clears, on average you must farm a total of 2000 untradeable "Timeworn Thief Maps" between people that you can only get from doing Stormblood Gazelleskin maps. Nowadays, this is done via BLU 70 to solo the Gazelleskin maps but before it was a "MAP WITHIN A MAP" which caused this achievement to be so rare compared to you always being able to make progress on "For the Hoard". My wife and I got the "The Deeper End IV" that has the title "The Luckiest of Lords/Luckiest of Ladies". I and another person started the NA PUG scene so people can do this achievement without statics last November. This is after I failed two times before a few years ago because world visit and data center visit didn't exist. I went through this hell grind doing most of the farming for both of us so we can wear the title together and say "We're the luckiest because we found each other". :D
One harder archivement I‘m working on is on a boat V. Get 3 million point with ocean fishing voyages. I‘m currently at a million while I‘ve had the ocean fishing mount and master of the sea for a long time already.
Hi! M'aye F'ell here i was the dk/ machinist from today's learning team ty for showing me content I wouldn't normally attempt.
happy holidays Avy!
I didnt know about the Epic Hero title and now I need to get it, thanks (:
Sanity is important, and none of the higher end achievements in this game are sane.
Oh hey, it's me! xD For real though, I think achievement hunting is a fun pass of time during content droughts. You can always find something neat and challenging. Over time you'll see all the different things in this game you've probably never even noticed the game has. Lord of the Verminion was incredibly fun, at one point I found a linkshell of like 9 players who were seeking games. Chocobo Racing sometimes has you falling in love with your race chocobo you just want to take him out and ride him in the overworld. It really makes the game truly feel like a standard final fantasy game!
still working on my Deep Dungeon stuff, but I have Lonely Explorer from PotD and Glitterier than Goldor from Blue Mage Solo, good enough for me :D
Currently working on obtaining the Astrope mount feels like and absolute mountain of a task @_@
“There are two wolves inside me, and neither of them completed this achievement” Idk why but that totally hit my funny bone 🤣🤣
I got the verminion one done with my friend actually :D i didnt know it was that rare!
I have " Ultimate Thrillseeker " from your list... and omg it took forever xD
I know it's not *hard*, but the achievement I've got that I'm most proud of is the exploration achievements. Specifically, the ARR and Stormblood Vistas. ARR is a pain because not only do you have to find the vistas *without* a glowing blue orb highlighting them, but you have to find all of the first 20 in the list before the other 60 will even activate. This is made worse by the fact a lot of them are only available at specific times of day, during specific weather conditions. You might be in the perfect conditions to pick up #21, but if you don't have 1-20 you may as well not be there. So time consuming, and something I'm really glad they simplified for the expansions. Stormblood... The majority of the vistas are fine! Other than two of them. One, all the way at the top of the Shirokaze Hostelry. The view up there is fantastic, for sure. The other? All the way down at the bottom, on top of a lamppost you have to jump to from the top. If you miss the lamppost? Better head all the way back up, buddy. I got lucky, and once I finally got to the top and took all my celebratory screenshots, I took the leap of faith and managed to land exactly where I needed to. I don't think I could have handled it mentally if I missed. It took me hours to get to the top of the Hostelry. They're split between different achievements, too. The Hostelry is in [Oh, The Sights We'll See I] and the lamppost is in [Oh, The Sights We'll See II]. I'm a little sad Shadowbringers never got a second achievement, despite the one that's there being labelled as part I. Endwalker just ain't getting a second I think, since it doesn't even have the part number.
The tiger mount made me join a hunt discord and now im doing the hunts as much as i can!
Accursed hoard takes 1 a minute if you farm for it specifically
Hardest achievement I have farmed so far is the Handking of the World, getting 500k Skyward Score in all the Ishgard Crafting jobs to work towards my Pteranodon mount was soul crushing. Now i need 500k Score in Bot/Min/Fishing o.o
One of my favorite hairstyles requires a lot of wolf marks, so I (will) PvP alot when I get back to Eorzea, but holy hell, I can't even imagine 5k wins.😅
And here I am, satisfied with my Imperial Nuisance title and my Conjuror unicorn mount.
I currently have 19.5k achievement points. I been playing for over 3 years. I plan to complete them all eventually. I'm currently working on crafting and gathering achievements, and win 1000 Frontlines for each Grand Company.

What about the pterodactyl thst you get from Ishgard Restoration? Idk if its really rare but the grind is real tho
Ok, at 4:20 the character is dancing with their bow drawn. Is that an emote that you can get in game or is it a mod for PC? I keep seeing it pop up all over the place and I want stuff like that but I can't seem to find it.

For me, the ultimates or relics would be by problem spots. Also, Mentor Roulette with 2000 wins (I Hope Mentor Will Notice Me) - I'm currently working on this one.
Quick few things, Rival Wings queues usually on Mogtome events and thats about it. Revival Discord puts events up for 2-3 hours a day a few days of the week also on the NA/EU servers 3k wins of frontlines is the worst PVP achievement because you need 9000 matches to complete it (with a 33% win rate) and is so painful XD For the Hoard VI is just a waste of time but can get 50 done an hour with certain tricks

I forget the name of the achievement, but it is the ocean fishing one that gets you the best title in the game: "World-Class Troller." I think it is still less than 2% of players that have it, and it's been around since the debut of ocean fishing.
Getting all achievements in the game requires at least 400 years of gameplay and it is a proof of existence of time travel machine. Proved!

Someday I'll get the tiger, someday, surely 😆 Yeah lord of verminion has tutorials but do they really teach anything?? xD
Well, I'd argue that Ultimate titles, and in particular Heaven's Legend should be included as some of the hardest. They do have a high clear rate, but that's because a lot of people have that as their goal, the hard thing about Ultimates is that the fights are very difficult challenges. However the hardest thing about most, of the "hard" achievements is that it takes too much time to actually complete them, and most of them aren't even worth the effort, they're not necessarily hard it's just too tedious to sit through thousands of games of Verminion or Mahjong, that's a waste of time, where as clearing an Ultimate isn't.

I am sorry but that still makes those achievements hard. Otherwise everyone would have them. Don't believe me? "Theyr'e easy then, just go get them." See, not actually easy. If clearing an ultimate takes less time then it is basically an easier achievement to get, because you can get it with less commitment. Some of the hardest things are in fact the most trivial mind melting things that anyone sane would get bored of LONG before completing. If you don't have the will power to get them then I guess they are simply beyond you, and thus too hard.

Idk about that, man. Depending on your time commitments per day and your luck with parties, you can kill DSR in a month OR LESS on PARTY FINDER, of all things. And that is a reasonable timeframe. You might spend more time clearing a savage tier rather than an ultimate tbh. So it's not that big of an achievemet. What makes majority of the rare achievements special is that they are about niche things people happen to be passionate about: majong, fishing, solo DD, lord of verminion etc. Ultimates are a popular piece of content, so it's nothing special. They require higher commitment than savages, but not as high as Majong Master, Big Fish, Necromancer or Lor of Verminion. Ofc it's difficult in its own way, but any person who is capable of clearing Anabaseios Savage can clear current ultimates too... This is how content progression works.
"Hardest" and Time Consuming are not the same thing. Levequests and PVP will come with time just playing the game. The only truly difficult achievements are the ones for soloing Deep Dungeon. You need to be good at the game and have great RNG for Poms to get to 200 without a death. Ultimates would likely be the next toughest.
