FFXIV was introduced to me last spring/summer when my boyfriend asked me to play. I didn’t really know what to think of the game initially, the game was so much different than Maplestory, a game I grew up with. I remember tearing up in the early dungeons as a healer due to stress and the fear of being flamed by my party, to which never happened, everyone was typically understanding.
Fast forward a few months, we finished the main story not too long ago and did some of the savage/ extreme content that popped up on PF. My boyfriend plays on Aether but made new characters on Crystal due to the EXP boost so I was finding things to do, hence my addiction to crafting. So while my boyfriend played other games or did raids on Aether, I spent a lot of time making collectibles to earn gil.
89 days passed since my character was made, meaning I’m one day away from being able to transfer to Aether to play with my boyfriend. As usual, I’m crafting by the script exchange when someone approaches me and asks why I’m crafting alone. I’m a relatively shy person who doesn’t really reach out to others so this was new. I end up talking to the girl for a while and find out she’s in the process of upgrading her relic tools, her alchemist one to be exact. She always told me when she needed to turn in her stuff and came back to craft more next to me. She asks me why I’m not in a FC and I reply I’m transferring servers the following day, to which she thanked me for being her crafting buddy for the day. One of the last things we spoke about was the market and what we were selling. 5.4 came out a few days before so I was crafting 510 gear and she was making chicken. She told me it was hard to sell at the time with people constantly undercutting so she stopped and decided to work on her relic tools. I eventually had to leave her as a friend wanted to do the new eden raids.
The following day, I’m prepared to do the world transfer, but not before paying a trip to the market board. I look at the listings for smoked chicken and look for her name. I find her retainer and buy out all the chicken she sold. I made quite some gil making 510 gear and I really wanted to show her my gratitude in a way, especially since she didn’t really have a lot, I believe around 2m~ gil. I hope she checked her sales on her retainer and saw my name next to the chicken sales.
Even though we only met for a day, it made me sad to leave my new friend. I’m really grateful she approached me and started a conversation. If you’re reading this, thank you and if you ever come to Aether, message me
