[Sprite141]

I don't understand Gold/World passes. How there used, what porposes they fufill, ect.
Also, I have no clue about the Merit point system being aloud to raise our stats.
If anyone can tell me anything about that, or give me a link that'd be great.

gold pass are just like world pass but only able to be use on 1 person for 1 time.
it allow the gold pass buyer to get some item depend on how long the gold pass user play ffxi. it also give the gold pass user some item after sometimes.

where world pass can be use for more the 1 player and it dont give any gift no matter how long u play.

merit point system are for lv 75 jobs. after getting lv 75 u can choose to use extra exp u get from party to change to merit point and to change to stats or other merits.
if you have lv5 merit for str in your lv75 job, your lower level job which start from lv 30 i believe get lv1 merit str boost too and increase while your level increase.

Umm, ok. But what does goldpass give? is it an item/gold i decide to give or a pre-determined thingy?
Also, what do you mean by using extra party exp? Define extra. Lastly, what do merit stat boosts effect? Like, what does it do when you give Merit to a skill or ability?

i cant remember what gold pass give the buyer of the gold pass and its user but after like few months time and years they give different items which is EX which mean u cant trade it to anyone etc. should be a pre-determined item.

extra party exp mean after you get to lv 75 u can either go to your moogle and change the exp u get later on after you change from moogle to store into your merit points.
Or if your had Lv75 and also max the experience you have with the lv75 character which is about 40+K of experience then it will automatic change to merit system if i am not wrong.
Every merit point is = 10K exp. Stat boost effect for merit help a little in what you put.
example if you put STR on merit it add +1STR to it and give u little more damage boost which u hardly see any different as its only +1STR.
if you give it to your skill example a 75RDM add merit to its enfeeble skill, its enfeeble spell will have better chances of successful effect monster.
