A White Mage's Guide: What to Do While Waiting for Duty Finder
You're sooo close to that next level, you can TASTE it. Finally, new gear, new skills, and amazing glams are within reach! You just have this last dungeon and...
an eighteen minute wait. Wonderful.
Well, don't worry! There's lots you can do while waiting for that queue finder to pop!
Like maybe...
Building an Airship
Or Helping a Dummy!
Or Climbing up Kugane Tower!
Fighting the Monsters that Rarely Exist
Or Giving M'naago Some Flowers!
Digging up Treasure maps
Making the Wrong Bronze Rings
Or finding the perfect WHM Cane
Getting the Perfect Shot
Fishing Monstrosities
Or Driving your FC INSANE!
...Okay, Maybe I should Elaborate a bit.
Building an Airship
If your FC has an estate, you have access to the Company Workshop. You can use this to build Airships and Submersibles to send out on expeditions. They'll come back with rare items and loot!
Helping A Dummy
No, I don't mean the Sprouts. There are various groups throughout the game referred to as the "Beast Tribes', who will have quests you can take every day for rewards. Over time you will build up Rep with them, and get cool mounts and emotes for your troubles.
Climbing Kugane Tower
There are jumping puzzles hidden in places all over the map. While Kugane tower is the most (in)famous, there are some in each housing district, the Firmament, and some other cities! Keep an eye out for them.
Fighting the Monsters that Rarely Exist
There are rare monsters that appear throughout the world called 'Hunts' which are more challenging monsters, but will give special rewards upon defeat. You also have your Hunting log that you get in ARR for the base classes. If you haven't already completed these, take some time to grind them out!
Giving M'Naago Some flowers
There are special NPCs that have 'Custom Deliveries' that you can fill each week, again for special rewards. Some of these are more challenging to unlock than others, but they're a worthwile expenditure for Crafters and gatherers!
Digging up Treasure Maps
Treasure Maps are a fun bit of Side Content that give fun, rare rewards, gil, and Xp depending on the class. You can only gather 1 per day, but it's worth it to save some up and then go treasure hunting with friends.
Making the Wrong Bronze Rings
Are you a crafter? It's an easy skill to pick up while You're waiting for your queue. You can make materials to sell on the marketboard, and it becomes cheaper to repair your own gear depending on your crafting level. (The title refers to the level 5 goldsmith quests. You want the one that looks like a BOX of rings, not the jewelry ring.)
Or Finding the Perfect WHM Cane.
Glamour is the True Endgame. Fashion is Pain.
Getting the Perfect Shot
It can be fun to just mess around with G-Pose and try out filters and stickers! Especially if you're satisfied with the results from the last entry.
Fishing Monstrosities
Fishing is a great way to pass the time. Fill out your fishing log and see if you can find those rare monsters, and complete that one quest that's been sitting in your journal for two years.
Or Driving your FC insane!
Hopefully your FC is more active than mine currently is. But yeah, go bug your friends.
Stuff I couldn't fit into the song:
Triple Triad
Blue Mage spell Hunting
Sightseeing Log
Gathering/Crafting Log Lockouts
Fates
As you can see, there's a whole of stuff to do while waiting for Queue to pop!
So buckle up, 'cause if you're queue is long, you're gonna do it all!
