Nublet here! :D
So after a nice little gaming session, I have some questions. I can probably google them, but seeing as I'm in no rush and it's another excuse to post here, I thought I might as well ask here! Soooooo:
1: I saw an Alice in Wonderland-like costume. With nifty black and white stockings and all. WHERE DO I FIND THIS?! Totally adorable. >.<
It's from a valentine's day outfit, which you can buy on Mog Station for about $5. It's a full outfit, though the item you're looking for with the stockings is the leg. The outfit cost is per-character, unfortunately.
2: Not sure the term for it here, but in WoW they called it transmogrification. Is there such a system here? As in, making one piece of armor look like another piece of armor for aesthetic appearance? So you can look all snowflake-y in dungeons? :D
Yes, but you can't do it until level 50. I'm not sure why, that's just the level of the quest. I think you also need to have a level 50 crafting class, but I could be wrong about that.
3: Pirate outfit! Do want. Where/how can I get this?
Lots of outfits look piratey! Eyepatch "head armor" are common for Disciple of War classes, and eyeglasses are common for Disciple of Magic, so it's possible to level up using those as your active item even without any cosmetic armor system pre-50 (you'd just only upgrade your head slot when the next item of an eyepatch/eyeglasses comes up).
4: Is there a spot to store crafting stuff? I have a ton of it in my inventory but don't want to sell it yet until I know what use it may be. <.<
This game's version of banking (and auctioning) uses Retainers, which are NPCs who can store your items and sell them on the market (as well as running some sidequest type missions in order to get you loot). You'll unlock Retainers eventually in the Main Story Quests (around level 20 quests, IIRC). You get two for free, but you can add an additional fee to your monthly subscription to enable you to have more (up to 8 maximum). This additional subscription fee adds retainers to all characters on your account, so it can be worth it if you plan to do a lot of crafting (or you like to squirrel away lots of items).
5: Linkshells. What are they and how do they work?
A linkshell is a user-created chat channel. The creator can designate others as having moderating rights, and users can be invited or kicked as needed. If you want to add your own alts, you'll need at least one other player to have moderator rights (at least temporarily). You can register a new linkshell in any of the three main cities, and you can be in up to 8 (I think?) linkshells at once. To type in them, you use chat prefix "/L#" with # being the number that linkshell is on your character's list.Â
6: Crafting Guilds... am I able to have a crafting guild active the same time as my class guild? Or do I switch between them when I need to do crafting stuff (like I do when I want to switch between rogue/pugilist)? I want to get into it, but I'm not sure how this works.
Once you complete your level 10 class quest in your initial class, you unlock the ability to pick up any class in the game. Classes include both combat classes and non-combat (crafting/gathering) classes. In theory that means one character could become a level 60 everything if you choose (though it would require a ton of grinding to do that).
7: In Regard to Q6, what crafting would be best for a rogue? :D
Whichever makes you happiest! Calliope has rogue as her main class and I didn't do any crafting at all until level 50+, so it's not really required. You'll save a little gil by crafting items yourself, but leveling up via the Main Story Quests goes quickly, and the Main Story Quests feed you equipment as quest rewards. My advice would be to hustle your main class up to 50+ ASAP, which goes easiest by focusing on the Main Story Quests. If you do an occasional Duty Finder Roulette (random dungeons) for the daily exp bonus, and you hit the occasional Fate quest as you do your other quests, it won't take long. If your long-term goal is to focus on Ninja, you will also need to get to Pugilist 15 (required to unlock the Ninja job, which you can unlock at Rogue 30), and Lancer 34 (for cross-class skills).
I think this is all I need for now... if I have more I'll probably post here again. Thanks!
