Anye has a deep love for Limsa Lominsa, as that was where her family fled in order to escape the Garlean invasion of Gyr Abania.

She also feels drawn to Ishgard, as that's where her father was from, and where she still has living relatives (though they're mostly quite cold to her at the moment).

Had your WoL/OC got deep connections with any nation that they aren't native to and outside of the MSQ?

DRK - Too squishy, invuln is weird, juggling MP between DPS & TBN feels weird.

PCT - I just can't find the "flow" of the rotation. It feels very stutter-stop.

MCH - I'm fine after the opener, but the opener trips me up every time.

NIN - Mudras always trip me up, and like PCT it feels very clunky.
ok new #wolqotd what's a job ur awful at. no judgement

for me it's:
- monk (I'm leveling an alt to understand it better though)
- ninja (I forget the mudra order constantly I have no object permanence)
- machinist (ever since they added chainsaw in ew it's felt clunky and idk wtf I'm doing anymore)

5.5, tail-end of Shadowbringers. Caught up with the MSQ around 6.2, shortly before the release of 6.3.
#wolqotd During what patch did you start playing XIV?

For the Trekkies amongst you, which Star Trek character would your WoL/OC be most like?

Jumping on the Picrew trend, because I will never not jump on a Picrew trend!

First one is me, second one is my attempt at Anye, lmao.

Anye currently makes a decent living as an adjunct professor of history, working on a contractual basis with various universities across the Star.

In her previous line of work as a smuggler, she made tons of gil but kept very little for herself and donated nearly all of it to charitable causes.
What would you say is your character's main source of income IC? Do they earn their gil through random quests on their adventure, or are they perhaps a skilled crafter?
Would you say your character is well off or more on the poor side?

Anye is keen to explore what remains of her homeland, the former nation of Velodyna, sandwiched between Gridania & Gyr Abania just to the south of the in-game map for The Fringes.

Her player is increasingly wanting to go to Blindfrost and northern Othard for more xaela lore.
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

Where would your WoL/OC like to go next after Tural?

Anye spent most of her adult life keeping her hair cut short. She's only recently grown it out and she's loving it. Anyone trying to get her to shave now is likely to get hit. 😂
Please indulge me on this one.

#wolqotd

Would your wol(s)/oc(s) ever shave their head bald? Like Mr. Clean bald? What would it take for them to do it?

Picked up an Azeron Cyborg II for FFXIV so I can break my click-casting habit and not spend 80% of fights staring at hotbars.

There's definitely an initial learning curve, but I'm only two days into using it and I already LOVE it. It feels great to use, just need to work up the muscle memory a bit.
January 14, 2026 at 1:20 AM
Anye doesn't have one (yet!), but my WoW OC, Dr. Elyseth Summerwind, had a weirdly cheerful skeletal horse named Pepper which was the result of her sole attempt at dabbling in necromancy. And my Secret World OC, Lucy Paige, had her beat-up, black Ford Fiesta with stickers all over the trunk hatch.
#Wolqotd because writing backstory stuff is fun: Does your WOL have a canonical mount or mounts? Did you stick with the msq chocobo? Name them? Customize them? Tell us!
January 14, 2026 at 12:22 AM
"Give It All" is still the best, though "Everything Burns" and "Sinister" place a not-too-distant second & third.
#wolqotd

Okay so now that all the arcadian fighters are out, and their songs are out... whats your favorite track from the entire series?

Despite everything, mine is still Howling Blades song!
January 14, 2026 at 12:15 AM
In most cases, Anye will do as she normally does at bathhouses and bathe naked. However, if there's a notable majority of male bathers at the hot springs, she's more likely to throw something on or skip bathing entirely.
Your WoL/OC is visiting the Bokaisen Hot Springs in Kugane. Are they going with the local customs or are they being a bit more tourist?

Anye simply refers to her parents as "ma" & "da," in keeping with her working-class Velodyne upbringing and the close relationship she had with them.

Her cousin Laureinne she refers to as "Laurry," and her paternal grandmother is "gram," while her paternal grandfather is a strained "grandfather."
inspired by a post i saw on twitter bur how does your wol/oc refer to their parents (if they do at all)? does it reflect their personality or is it a result of the way they were raised/grew up to view them/etc? #wolqotd

Some 8.0 food for thought:

With how FFXIV expansions are always given titles that are two words smushed together, "Blindfrost" fits that motif perfectly. And since YoshiP has said that Meracydia's off the table for now and mentioned "setting sail" in his New Year's message...

I would like some subtle options to showcase characters that are mixed-race, as Anye is a half-elezen highlander and it'd be nice for her to be able to have pointed ears without using mods.

Maybe make things like elezen ears and au ra limbal rings be unlockable cosmetics like hairstyles are?
❤️ #PlayerQOTD #PlayerQuestions 🖤

Whats something about your main WoL/OC's race (or any) you'd like changed/improved to? (I.E. More tail options, patterns, ear shapes etc)
December 27, 2025 at 6:30 AM
Anye is fond of obtaining thrifted clothing and altering it to better suit her personal style. She learned to tailor as a necessity from being a poor refugee growing up in Limsa, and as a result refurbishing second-hand garments just became second-nature to her, even when she could afford better.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Where does your wol / oc get their clothes from? Do they have a personal tailor, or something else?
December 27, 2025 at 6:22 AM
Anye's an only child, but she is close with her paternal cousin, Laureinne. Laureinne resents the stodgy life of an Ishgardian noble, so she often sneaks out to party with Anye among the common folk and learn more about life outside of the Devereux family manor.
#wolqotd #wolquestion
OC's with Siblings, who are they? and what sibling behavior do they have with your OC?
December 27, 2025 at 6:16 AM
Continue to work on improving at gpose, get back into regular RP beyond just socializing at bathhouses, and write some of the Anye short stories I've been sitting on! She has SO MUCH LORE that I haven't gotten to explore or depict!

Also commission some artwork.
#wolqotd of sorts for you, yes you there, quirky gposer, roleplayer, writer, artist or creative reading this. What is your creative resolution for 2026? Writing more lore? Finishing that WIP from 5 years ago? Being a full time dwarf at the blender mines? Enlighten me, please. 🎤
December 25, 2025 at 9:33 PM
There's a thing on my head, and now suddenly I've forgotten my damage rotation and feel the need to run away from stack markers and meld Tenacity materia on my caster gear.
December 25, 2025 at 9:17 PM
Anye as I usually RP/Gpose her is not the WoL. She's just a regular woman who helped rebuild in the WoL's wake.

When I play the MSQ, there is a "WoL version" of Anye that I headcanon, but WoL!Anye isn't that different from regular Anye in terms of background & personality.
#WolQoTd

IS your character the WOL? How did they manage it? Do they wish it were different?

Or do they have a different role in the story? Do they have ties to any particular part of the story if so?

Feel free to nerd out/lore dump!
