Christmas starts the 15th.


Looks like the celebration is much the same as it was in XI, only this time players must rely on crafters to get the gear. A nice change, but I sure hope they get more imaginative further down the line.

Also, Goblins are coming back.

such ugly boots. o_O
Although they do look best on lalafells since the size of the shins look right on them. Shins look too big on everyone else.

Finally done with school, so in the coming months when I find a real job, I will more than likely pick this up.

Its too bad that Cataclysm just came out, i've been so addicted to that, but once the newness dies down a bit, i'll be playing FFXIV again. Hopefully around the time the December update comes out.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

The first december update is here.

Of note:

- A second retainer for everyone (100 more units of space and third bazaar)
- Recipe list is now accessible when crafting. It lists the previous 8 recipes you used and the previous 8 recipes you learned from levequests. Select the recipe and it automatically grabs the materials you need.
- More adjustments to the Market wards, with some areas sorted by gear levels (low 1-20, mid 20-40, high 40-50, etc)


Also, the christmas stuff is out. Woooo

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

So how does getting a retainer work?

Do you create them the same way you create the character you actually play as, or is it just premade options?

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

There's an NPC near the guildleve counter in each city. You talk to him/her and they assign you one. You pick the race/gender, and it randomly generates a guy for ya. Reroll if you don't like it.

Then you head off to the market wards, and an option appears in the menu to summon your retainer. Where you summon the retainer is where they stay. You can exchange items/gil with them as if they were another player, and set up their bazaar as if it were your own. Moving your retainer around is as easy as going to a new ward and summoning the retainer again.

They can be set to dress up in the gear that you place in their bazaar, or they can just wear their preset gear. You can dismiss them at any time, or releive them from service, though I think doing so means you have to take back all their items.

Each retainer can carry as many items as a normal player can. So 100 in the item list, 9999 of each type of shard/crystal/cluster, 10,000,000,000 gil (I think), and 10 bazaar spaces. So with this new update, triple that amount and that's your available space for items (you'll need it).

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

I havent played in about 2 weeks or so, did they already make the change that removed +1 and +2 items, so everything is either standard or +3 items?

[Denmo]

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

Christmas spirit is already abound!





november changed it so +1 and +2 don't drop from enemies anymore, only normal and +3. You can still get them gathering or synthing.

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XIV Topic

The item search feature goes up today.

My only beef with that is the menu. Instead of typing the name out, you have to scroll through several lists.

OH well. yay functioning market wards.
