I believe the linked thread is talking about the recently released Ironworks Cap of Gathering, which is restricted to "Disciples of the Land." I think the reason for the upset is that this piece, like most green or blue background items is restricted to one Discipline instead of multiple. You see, most Gathering gear is shared between Crafter and Gatherer. So you'll most commonly see "Disciple of the Land/Hand" just like you see "Disciple of War/Magic" together. However, these new pieces seem to be specific to just "Disciple of Land" and the crafter version is specific to "Disciple of the Hand" something that apparently invoked ire in this particular poster. Again, it goes back to looking at what items are available to equip. If it says "Disciple of the Land" only gathering classes will be able to equip/glamour. It's a rather annoying restriction, I'll admit, but it's what we work with. Also in that thread, another player brings up the Artisan Spectacles, a green item that when it first came out was restricted to Disciple of the Hand. It was since changed to be wearable by All Classes. The same may happen to other gear pieces in the future, but that's at the discretion of the devs. Thank you for all your help. :lol:

It sounds good then. Can you please check on that thread I linked to though, and tell me what it's about? It really sounds like they put some sort of restriction on Glamouring some piece of gear that makes no sense to have the restriction. I'm well aware, that's why literally the very first thing I said was "I'm not level 50 yet". Thanks for the info anyway though, and the quest is "A Self-improving Man".:thumbsup:

I'm not level 50 yet, but I am wondering if this is possible to do so I know if I should plan for it or not. My main character is a Disciple of Magic, but for RP reasons I like wearing non-robe things. Since about 98% of magic/intelligence gear is robes, this causes a problem. I saw on a Glamour tutorial guide thing on another site that you cannot exchange gear appearances that are not of the same type. Considering there is no such thing as heavy, medium, light, etc. gear in this game, I am confused by that. For example: Would I be able to use this gear's stats to look like this gear instead? I want the look of the Toadskin Jerkin, but the stats of the Linen Robe in that example. Both say "All Classes" (despite the fact one is obviously meant for magic casters and one is obviously meant for gathering), and the appearance-desired Toadskin Jerkin is lower level than the Linen Robe, which is good since the game won't let you take on the appearance of higher level gear according to that guide. I tried finding someone on the official forum asking a similar question, and the closest I could find was this, which does kind of concern me. It sounds like they locked some Goggles to gathering only headgear, but I might be misreading. Anyway, thank you for reading.

Thank you, it's all good now. I would have waited for the 30 day bonus, but I have 60 free days due to the fact I bought both the PC and PS4 versions (not Heavensward yet though). Since I won't be charged for a subscription until the 60 days (now 56) runs out, I just paid the $10 and did it. I truly played some for the first time last night, no RP'ing yet since I'm still too new to the game entirely. Just looked around at the insanely huge population, doing some started quests, and stumbled on the random RP's and watched some. That's quite true. Literally the very first thing I saw in chat when I logged in (that wasn't an NPC/System thing) was someone shouting "FREEKUPTUS" or the like, then "ISN'T THERE ANY NORMAL PEOPLE ON BALMUNG?!?!" in Limsa Lominsa's starting area. A number of people were against him and a number were with him.:roll:

Thanks for this idea, I actually just waited until when the servers opened again after the 3.3 patch and managed to barely sneak 3 character creations in. I did kinda rush the creation on one of them though, since I forgot to save an appearance earlier. Quick question regarding that. The "Phial of Fantasia" From the Mog Station Optional Items place seems to be the thing I need to fix the appearance on that character. Since it apparently lets me alter the race, gender, etc, I'm assuming it just opens up the exact same way of customization as the Character Creation itself had (short of class), right? Another thing: can it be used by a level 1 character? I'd like my appearance to be perfect before officially starting. Also: How long is the queue and wait time to login to Balmung usually around 10PM PDT? After creating the three characters between 3:02AM-3:06AM PDT, each of them said there was a login queue of about 2100 players. Fantasia does exactly that: It lets you go back to character creation entirely. You can use it on any character at any level as long as they have one. Queue times on Balmung aren't usually very long, but we just got a big content patch so it might be a little loaded for a few days. If the number is small (i.e., sub 100~ in line) you can usually cancel the queue and try to log in again, which skips the queue entirely. We don't know why, it just works. Thank you for the information. I tried to purchase a Fantasia Phial, but it says I have no characters still. I'm guessing it's just because my characters are still newly made (not even entered the game yet technically). How long will it be before the Lodestone and/or Mog Station actually realize I've made character(s)? I couldn't find anything on Google about a time estimate for that. EDIT: Found someone saying that they "Waiting a long time" and no characters still were shown. Turns out they just had to actually login to the character before it showed on Lodestone/Mog Station. I'll try that when I'm back home.

I saw that on the official page too, but was hoping it wouldn't be true since the other thing isn't true. Dangit. :frustrated:

Greetings, thank you for replying. I already knew there is no official RP server though, as well as those accompanying risks, so no worries. As for the server transfer, most people claim you can world transfer onto Balmung even if the character creation is restricted, but the official website says quite literally the direct opposite. You seem to be saying what others say, that you can transfer to it even when restricted. Considering how many people are saying that, I'm pretty sure at this point that the official website's statement is just flat out wrong. Does anyone have any idea why the website claims that? Is it outdated information that was true but no longer is? An intentional lie to discourage people from joining overpopulated servers? :dazed: EDIT @Kellach - I'll look into when Patch 3.3 comes out. If it's still a week or more away, I'll probably just do it earlier. I've been looking for an awesome console MMORPG for a long time. EDIT 2 - June 7th. Hmm....

On the 1st of June I decided to see what all the fuss was about and tried getting the XIV trial on PS4. I must say that I am incredibly impressed. So much so that just from actually seeing the in-game graphics and reading about what the game is like, I'm going to be buying the game before I even make a character on the trial. You may think I'm crazy, but the primary reason is that I'm trying to get on Balmung, which as I understand it is easily the most RP friendly server. I stayed up until 5:30am Central USA time last night trying to make a character. I was watching TV while constantly checking the refresh server button every 5 minutes or so on Vita'a Remote Play thingie. Thankfully old reruns of Mythbusters and South Park were on most of the night. Strange show combination (science overall smart show and immature comedy show) but I like both, what can I say? But why am I already buying the game? Server Transfers. As I understand it from reading various threads here, official, gamefaqs, and other places, you can just make a character on any server of the same Data Center then Server Transfer onto Balmung, even if it's completely full at the moment. Is that actually true? I want to be sure. This website looks great though, and like it has a much friendlier community than the official ones (not that I can post there yet anyway). I'll likely be looking into RP guilds/Free Companies/Linkshells when I finally get in, and hope the server is as friendly to RP as most people claim. Please note that I mean actual RP, not "eRP". I have absolutely zero interest in eRP. Thanks for reading, hope to see you around. I'll be changing my avatar once I actually get my character made. :bouncy: EDIT: This concerns me. I found this on the official World Transfer Service page: That seems to say the exact opposite of what I've been finding. So..... which is it?
