Savage Queen of Swords III - FFXIV
This is the achievement you get for completing Delubrum Reginae Savage (DRS) 10 times. It used to be in the rarest 100 achievements in the game, but with many new achievements added lately, it's not that rare anymore.
You can track FFXIV achievements on this site where it shows how many characters have the specific achievement according to the official site (if character data is public) https://www.lalachievements.com/rarity/achievement/global/
The first achievement also gives you a mount, so most people only do it for that, then never touch the content again. Less people are dedicated enough to do it more times as you can see it here:
DRS is a 48 man raid for which to access you need to complete the Bozja Field Operation which has it's own leveling system inside the game and you need to reach Rank 15 and participate in some other duties to unlock it. The Bozja content also has special items which boost your stats, special gear and special skills which you can use inside. DRS cannot be completed without these, and if you die you can only be raised by special items and actions which are not guaranteed to succeed.
You can't just queue up for the duty, you need (at time when the content released) 48 people in a pre-made group to enter. Nowdays it can be done with 24-48. So there are specific discord servers in each region who organise these runs, and help people complete it. (I run one of these discords, hi ^^)
Why I am so proud of this achievement?
It was the first savage raid I've completed. It took me a long time and some convincing from friends that I was even good enough to try savage content, because I've been told many times before by not so nice people ingame that I'm rubbish.
To add something extra to it and take the achievement a bit further, inside the raid there is a duel one person can complete. If they succeed they get damage boost for the rest of the raid, if they fail they get kicked out from the raid. Sadly completing this duel doesn't give a title or achievement (can we have one Square Enix pretty please?), but still I'm very proud of having been able to complete it on a healer, when this encounter was meant to be done by the strongest damage dealer in the group. Bozja got easier as more got added to the content, making it possible for healers and tanks to complete the duel too, so it's not just me being this cool, there are a few others too ^^)
Here is my first time clearing the duel:
While there is no official leaderboard or rankings for FFXIV apart from pvp, there are sites which keep track of damage if someone was uploading logs... Apparently I'm 13th among healers worldwide and 2nd in the EU region.
Lesson of the day:
if you tell me I'm not good enough to do something, I'll do it twice and take pictures.
