  • WotG finished... and meh

    The other night I happened to remember that I hadn't looked into WotG since the recent update because all the other new stuff had stolen the spotlight. I didn't remember seeing any real discussion thread on here regarding the long awaited completion of a storyline I was really enjoying yet frustrated I could get nobody's interest up to continue on. Unfortunately I have a feeling I won't be able to drum up much interest anyway and to be perfectly honest... it's because the rewards don't really make me ache to go out and complete it despite enjoying the story.

    I really don't foresee lots of groups going all hot-sh!t to get these items either. In fact they are so mediocre and situational IMO, I'm pretty let down. I have no way of linking the info/links at work. But just wiki the mission-line for any details you wish to delve further into. The end rewards are also nation specific, so if you did the Sandy story, you cannot get the Basty or Windy rewards and vice versa (as far as I can tell). Also ... these rings are Lvl 80... le sigh.

    If there was one I'd be interested in, it would be the Basty reward which is a Ring +8 Attk increases potency of "Drain" and "Aspir". But my interest would only be if it effects a DNC's Sambas. Then again... there's alot of rings out there and I can fill that slot with many other options that work better for SAM or DNC or THF at this point. Maybe it's an epic increase. Which would be cool but I've gone kinda far down the Sandy road and their ring adds like 25HP and reduces enemies critical hit rate (meh, I'd rather evade), and the Windy one might be the most sought after cuz it does sound nice for casters... it's +25MP and increases potency to elemental magic depending on the day. But I'm no caster as you can see by my sig, let alone a lvl 80 caster.

    Along the path to the end there are some interesting but still "meh items". A belt that turns you into a goblin is one that would be fun but only a gimmick. A star-wand that looks cool can turn you into a child mithra, so that's a bit creepy. A Jeunoan flag Furnishing for my already over-crowded MH walls. And a staff of retrace (1 use/24hr) for each nation that is the same looking as the Signet banner/staves. There are a few other random chochkeys (sp?) but I was pretty disappointed in WotG "rewards".

    I just thought I'd start an open discussion regarding WotG ending because I hadn't seen much about it and was curious if there's any light someone could shine on the usefulness of the rewards.... they seem to me to be -1 inventory items, imHo. Also ... I realized I've never started a topic yet and this might as well be my first.

    The conclusion to the actual WotG mission line shall be approaching in September. They still have one more chance to really put out with the mission rewards, and if there's a chance one would be waiting for, it'd be the last one.

    Not to say that they couldn't still disappoint on that front, either; only to say that it's not quite the time to call it "completed" yet.

      Oh... really? I had looked on their website and thought I'd read on the official FFxi website that it was concluded with this update.... damn Websense... I can't get there again ... but I musta misread or something. Coulda swore it said WotG was finished on this update. Well, I guess I'll hold out hope.

        The Nation Quest portion of WotG was concluded with the last update. The actual Mission line concludes in September.



        . . . I really should put that graphic somewhere where I can more easily access it, for future reference.

          Ah good clarification I needed then. I took their statement that the Nation Quest was finished as the whole kit-n-kaboodle. Thanks YM

            You can do all 3 nation quests regardless of allegiance too.

              That bit I understood but not entirely when I read it so I was wondering since I never remember to figure this out myself when I log on:

              Can you do the quests all at the same time or must you finish one nation's storyline to do another?

              ... and...

              Are the quests pretty much a separate entity from the missions... basically do I have to repeat the mission-portions I've already done for each nation or having done them once, do I get a free pass?

                Also, Neverslip, I'm pretty sure that you can do all three of the Nation quest lines at the same time. You shouldn't have to re-do any of the WotG missions in order to "re-unlock" the next step in the quest line, as well.

                  Once you've done a mission it's done. You can have all 3 nation's quests going at once.
