Either you cozy up to some in-game goons and ask for onions or you start fundraising for a small house and grow your own.

We actually have a medium because we were day 1 Dynamis immigrants and one of our members loves gardening so we have onion access.

Important onion note, you need to use it when the chocobo's experience bar shows empty at 0/x at max rank and NOT when the xp bar shows full! You'll waste the onion I think without warning. If you were stabling your chocobo for exp, it won't rank up 100% in the stable, you need to take it out and kill something before you can onion / rank up.

There's a couple of places where you will help out trying to heal people, but it's just a few and doesn't actually change anything.

I appreciate those sorts of things. Every time in HW that someone told Estinien "OMG it's great to have the Azure Dragoon with us" and he looked at my character and replied "you already had one" really endeared me to the guy. Helped blunt his other character traits.

I played a chunk as a machinist, so I had to laugh at plot having me not shooting people anyone sensible with a gun (like, say, the Admiral) would shoot.

There are plenty of times in the story where you draw your weapon but you tend to immediately sheathe them afterwards instead of attacking. The WoL doesn't respond to most situations with violence because they know they can handle themselves if it comes to that.

I love that all the season questlines prominently feature lalafel named something absurdly stupid like "Nanaji Nonanji" or something even worse, which at that point you may as well name the character in wingdings because I will not remember it at all or pay attention to anything they have to say (MSQ character names are not much better to be honest, literally dreadful naming on a lot of these people). Its also cool I constantly have to watch these things walk around like they have poo poo in their diaper which I imagine is the appeal for a lot of people who choose to play them.

[in Russian] Oof.



I wish I had known this when I made my character, I used the random name generator and got a name appropriate for a Xaela Au Ra that I liked, but the last name (Kha) but that exact name was taken, so now I have the last name Ka. Then I got to the Azim Steppe many hours later and learned those are tribes of Xaela and there's no such tribe as the Ka :negative:

Rapidly approaching the first point that the game actively threatens you, the player.

Your character could just be from a tribe that got absorbed by another tribe!

Also I am pretty sure that whatever references there are to them in the official materials it's the 51 known tribes, not the end-all be-all of all Xaela. The Steppes are wide, just plop one down on there.

you might want to data center travel to aether for rival wings. i've gotten matches within a couple minutes the few times i've tried since the event started.

primal is also hoppin' right now for rival wings. if you're on dynamis, well, that place is a ghost town. unless you're hanging with an fc there i highly recommend just hopping to aether or primal for anything involving other players.

PVP is a thing you do for mogtomes and catbook (you haven't found catbook yet, but it's a thing) and you run it, accept that you have no real control over what is going on, get the tomes/stamp and move on.

If it helps, it's also canon that the Xaela only fairly recently started writing things down in the Eorzean language, and don't really have a lot of regard for "spelling things consistently".
