An additional free retainer slot

OMG they need to do this NOW! I've got mats spilling out of every orifice that my retainer has and unto the floor of the Tradescraft ward and now promiscuous Lalafells are lining up outside the stand to get a piece of that action.

I have but one word. Smexy. Thats not a typo. SMEXY.

Inproved retainer response time?
Another free retainer? It's important to note their use of the word "Free". If they were planning on limiting us to 2 retainers total... they would have said "An additional retainer". The use of the word "free" implys that we will be offered the option of having more than 2... at some cost... later on.
More recipes?

You can have like 7 or 8 retainers I think? Each retainer will cost you another $1.00 a month though, been this way since b4 launch.


What to do with that 2nd free retainer though... I could have 1 hold all my spare gear, while the other holds crafting matts. Or I could set 1 retainer up with items for sale in 2 separate cities, or 2 different wards in the same city... ARGH!!! MIND FUCK!!! @_@

Nope, we can't hire more than one yet, but it'll be possible soon enough.

I'm excited for the new recipes and UI changes more than anything else.

? The option is there on the website to pay for them though.

I looked and did not see it. Where did you see it? I only saw option to purchase more character slots.

If we get a second retainer, I'm not parking it anywhere. It'll be a "backpack" to haul around mats to craft with and my first retainer that is parked will hold only unique/rare gear and other stuff I don't need to access.

My plan exactly.

Re: December Version Updates (12/14/2010)

It seems people are wasting approximately NO TIME jacking up the prices on dormouse fur. I checked around a few people's bazaars placed at the bells (subtle...) and they all sell them for around 30k!!!!! I know they're going to be "the new hot items" to have... but seriously? 30k? Come on... be reasonable, kupo... it's Starlight!!!

I made sure to farm myself dormouse fur over the past week. If anyone is on Selbina server... go to the Tanners Den in the Gridania Wards... look for a Lallafel Retainer named "Sadine". That's my girl.... and she's got about 40 furs on her... for 5k each. I also have an additional stack that's listed for 999,999,999 each on my person. That's the stack I have reserved for friends. If you want any dream gear made, let me know. I'll synth it for free. Merry Christmas Starlight, kupo!

30k? Really? Some people have no holiday spirit.

Re: December Version Updates (12/14/2010)

They're going for at least 60K on Pala and as high as 100K...

Idk what level those things are ... I'm not high enough to kill the dormouse though ...

I teamed with a R35 PUG to take down about 100 dormice. I got jack shit for XP, kupo... but it's for making Santa suits!

60k and 100k is outragious, KUPO!

Again... ANYONE who needs the fur. Selbina Server, Gridania Ward, Tanners Den... Retainer: Sadine. They're there for 5k each. If I'm in game when you check... ask me and I'll make whatever you want for free... just gimme the bell materials.

100k? People should be ashamed.

Boots are made with Tanner R11
Robe is made with Weaver R11
Hat is made with Weaver R11

I'll make any and all of them for you. Just come find me.

Re: December Version Updates (12/14/2010)

I can buy them even at 100k no problem but I don't need to. You see, these items are not unique and untradable. You can receive these gifts from ringing the bell every 4 hours. I got 3 characters. You're also guaranteed to receive the gifts even if you weren't there to ring it for a day (i.e., 6 gifts to you after you last rang it 24 hours ago all at once the next time you ring it) Some of them are these things where you can trade to several NPCs around the world to get ... hat... robe ... boots.

Without a single gil paid.

Kupo!

I get them all 3 (actually, I got hat from doing this last night) and can trade it or sell it. Hahahahaha.

Re: December Version Updates (12/14/2010)

Which NPCs are these that you trae the mats to?

LOL ... it's right here! FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

I'm surprised no one noticed .. ?

Also they have nerfed the gift giving. It was every 4 hours and now it's every 8 hours (So instead of 6 after the 24 hr period it's only 3 ... maybe cause a lot of players started (since it's free) filling up character slots)
