Final Fantasy 14 Players Successfully Complete a Treasure Map as Gathering Jobs

gamerant.com:

Final Fantasy 14 fans are always looking for absurd ways to challenge themselves even further in the critically-acclaimed MMORPG. A group of Final Fantasy 14 players accomplished one such task by completing a Treasure Map with a team full of Disciples of the Land.

Treasure Maps are special items in Final Fantasy 14 which allow players to find hidden treasure chests in the world. These chests contain valuable items that can only be collected after defeating the monsters who guard them. Though these maps are collected by Disciples of the Land–Final Fantasy 14’s gathering classes–the challenges within are to be completed by full teams of combat jobs.

Or at least, they are supposed to be. Redditor andFinal Fantasy 14 player Fr3myy defied that expectation alongside six other players who decided to tackle an A Realm Reborn map as Botanists, Fishers, and Miners. The hilarious escapade was fraught with failure. According to Multi289, another member of the intrepid Disciples of the Land squad, the team failed on three maps before finally emerging triumphant on the fourth.

As one may expect, gatherers have no combat abilities, and can only swing their tools for minuscule amounts of damage while having a dreadfully low pool of hit points. However, accessories in Final Fantasy 14 can be equipped by all classes, allowing them to gain more battle prowess than otherwise possible. The players also pentamelded their crafted gatherer gear with Critical Hit materia to further increase their stats, burning hundreds of battle materia in the process. Being level 90 while fighting level 50 monsters also helped a great deal.

Players couldn’t believe Fr3myy and Multi289’s hilarious
