For a few years I have never been able to find a W.W. or other NPC that sells me these (I'm Sandy). I'm pretty sure sites like Alla and FFXIClopedia might have it wrong that this item is 2nd place. Although if anyone from Windurst can tell me that they are available at 2nd place then nevermind. But in anycase it also might be because they are Ex. Maybe NPC's do not sell other nation's CP items if they are Ex.
Well, it's supposed to mean that people from other nations (in this case, Sandoria or Bastok) can purchase a rank 8 item from a different nation at the cost of a rank 9 item from their own, so... 48k CP for this one.
Unfortunately, it appears that they may have made this an item that's only available when Windurst is in first place, and thus unavailable to anyone from a different nation. On my server, Bastok (my current rank 10 nation) is in first, Windurst is in second, and Sandoria is in third. The only item I can buy from the Windurstian NPCs at the moment is the mitts.
I'll test again when Bastok has first and Windurst has third, but that seems pretty unlikely.
These are always active in sea as long as you have signet on, so there's a very legitimate use for them (namely, BLMs using them to solo for exp and organs, and maybe RDMs who can't get something to stick).
was in lufaise meadows last night and they didn't work there, i'm very upset that i spent 40k CP's on these, especially since no one levels past 55 in conquest areas anymore, i believe SE seriously needs to make these take effect in aht urghan since it is technically outside of all nation's control
just because you cant use these gloves in ToAU, doesnt mean they arent worth the 40k conquest points. Great for gods and HNMs. I'm about 700 exp and 5000 conquest points away from these, so I'm not sure if they work in Dynamis and Sea, but with all the other enfeebling+ gear you can use, its not really needed in a normal party anyway.
all this talk of how to get them to work... so which part is activated outside the nation? Only Int or all of them? No one ever wants to exp in the old areas so these have probably become pretty useful in higher lvl areas. These would generally always be active if you can get yourself a signet staff. Great for Blm who solo and need that extra enfeeb.
can anyone comfirm that you must have signet up for this to be active? cuz i want to get them, but if they cant be used in the new areas then im not sure i want them as much..
reason being is im sandy, and i would get to rank8 windy if i could use them in the old and new areas, but if they require signet im not going thru that much hassle. thanks
Whelp.. I myself have been wanting these for a while.. finally got around to checking on them... Sandy 1st, Windy 2nd, Bastok 3rd. (I'm Sandy)
Master Caster Mitts are there .. but not the bracelets.. so... don't know... I'll wait till Sandy 1st, Bastok 2nd, Windy 3rd happens... which will be a very rare occuance on Quetz .. but .. oh well..
I still have the same problem too. I think the best bet is to change to windy. I dont know if u lose ur job lvls tho. If not it shouldnt be too hard to get to rank 8.
When i tried Bastok was in 1st Windy was in 2nd Sandy was in 3rd
Aye, Im not sure why its not working. Ive never needed to do such a thing, but read how to just in case I ever wanted something from Basty and/or Sandy's CP. Somepage has a tutorial about it, though you did exactly what it says to do. Very odd....wonder if they changed it with one of the updates?
i'm from bastok. I been talking to every NPC in bastok and windy to use CP but i can't find the one to give it to me. i have enough fame (if needed) CPs and im rank 9. Can someone tell me how to get these. Please dont tell me i have to become a windy citizen to get them. If u know the name and pos of npc please help ^^
These are obtained by any W.W. in Windurst. They are a Rank 8 item, and the prerequisit to get these is that Windy must be 2nd or higher in the Conquest standings. Since your from Basty, that means Basty must be first and Windy second for this option to be available for you.
Also, the conquest points needed for a Windurstian would be 40,000....yours will be signifigantly higher, but at 215+K you should be safe.
these are the standings atm. i tried all the gate guards, ALL of them said i should go to my home counrty. Do u know the pos of the npcs, maybe i missed some?
I went to: Milma-Hapilma, W.W. National Conquest City Guard Windurst Port B-4 Puroiko-Maiko, W.W. National Conquest City Guard Windurst Waters G-5 Harara, W.W. National Conquest City Guard Windurst Woods K-10
That is odd. You went to the correct NPCs. They didnt give you any option to purchase CP items? Are you positive Basty is first at the moment? Or are Basty and Windy tied?
The only reason I can think of them not offering it to you is because Basty is not ahead of Windy.
I just got Rank 8 tonight and still 6k CQ away from buying them >.>, do these work in the new areas? I know someone said you must have Signet active so I realize if you wanted to use them in the new area you couldn't have Sanction up.
Even if they did work in the new areas though these aren't all that helpful while XPing, because you typically chain VTs. With the XP bonus from Sanction chaining VTs is fast and gives XP like you're fighting ITs. I imagine I would slap these on while XPing in any Non-Besieged Conquest area where Windurst wasn't in controll.
I hardly see any RDMs ever wear these on Fairy, perhaps they aren't aware of them or too lazy to get Windy Rank 8 and 40k CQ, they definetly pwn the hell out of AF gloves in areas where they work, or even just walking around to show off. Can't wait!
If I'm in an area where these work, you better bet I'm using them. I wish these were more consistant, because it's annoying to have to fix my macros everytime I head to sky or Dragon's Aery (which Windurst tends to control sometimes on Alexander) depending on the latest conquest tally.
But yeah, when these work there's simply nothing close for an RDM when it comes to boosting elemental and enfeebling skill.
I knew being a taru would finally pay off! And i picked windurst obviously as my hometown because all the little people are there! WOOT! Taru, frickin sweet race..., time to get rank 8...get these..and do my maat fight!
They are available to Windurstian citizens only of rank 8 and higher when Windy is 2nd place or higher.
Even if you are rank 8 and in first place from Bastok or Sandy and Windy is 2nd you cannot get them.
This week bastok is 1, Windy is 2. My mule is in windy and they are on the list. However, out of curiousity (and hope) I checked on my Rank 8 Bastok main, and nope, they are not on the list of items available.
So, the poster who said his sandy friends got them I have to question, as I am quite cure these only appear on the list for Windy citizens when windy is #2 or better.
This item is available to WINDURSTIANS only when Windurst is in 1st. It's just like the Federation Aketon, that item is only available if Windurst is in 1st in the balance of power. Same thing with the Republic and the Kingdom Aketons. Can the nation that is in 1st place buy the aketon of another nation using CPs? Noooooo. Well, same way happens with these bracelets.
If say SanD'oria is in 1st, Windurst 2nd, Bastok 3rd. Then Sandoria can buy items from other nations, but only the items that nation offers at that place (in that case, items offered when Windurst is in 2nd). So these bracelets can't be bought using CPs if you're from another nation no matter what rank or place you are.
The only way I see to get this if you're not from Windurst is... switching citizenship to Windurst, do all the missions to rank 8. Wait until Windurst is in 1st place, buy the item using your Windurst CPs. Then if you want, go back to your old citizenship. You should be the rank you were in your original nation, and have the same CPs you had when you left your original nation.
I was Bastok rank 10, Bastok was in 1st and Windy was in 2nd. And the NPC didn't offer these.
I think the reason is that they're only available when windy is in 1st, and you'd have to have Bastok 1st to get them as a bastokan.
So I switched to Windy, got rank 10 and my flag (more CPs ^^) and started accumulating CPs. I presently have 35k CPs.
In my experience it takes an average of leveling 2 jobs 1 >> 37 to make 40k CPs (it's an average, because it varies depending on regional influence of the are you're leveling in).

Posted:Jun 03 2005 at 1:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok. Your wrong. I just got these today. Sandy is in first. And they are available to my rank 8 friends from sandy. And available to me. being from windy.
I recently got my Rank high enough to get these & one thing I've noticed other then the affect being active in areas outside your nation's control is that you have to also have Signet active to get the stat boost.
g'day youth@Seraph after RDM every other job is just a SJ
I've noticed other then the affect being active in areas outside your nation's control is that you have to also have Signet active to get the stat boost.
Found this out a while ago too, the hard way. This also means that for areas like Dynamis, and probably Al'tieu(sp?) you will also need signet.
All the more reason to carry around a Signet Staff now, I guess :P
I am an outsider to Windurst (Bastokian RANK10) and i am trying to get these. On fairy currently Bastok is in first Windy 2nd. My problem is no NPC from windy allows me to access windy CP items. Does anyone know the NPC that gives these items to outsiders? Please help me out!!
Unless someone else knows otherwise to get these babies you've got to be Windurstian & Rank 8. I'm not sure about country rank since Windurst is usually always 1st or 2nd. I've switched my allegiance to Windurst just so I could get these. You'll have to start from Rank 1 again & build up 40,ooo CP when you switch.
g'day youth 75RDM@Seraph Dynamis I'm Interested Please Invite Me
To anyone on diabolos server from BASTOK... quit messing around and go LVL... Bastok must be filled with morons that can never take first place O.o I dont know if they craft to much, or keep dieing, or whats going on. but in all my time of amost 1.5 years ive seen bastok in first maybe 20 times that I remember.. and thats just wrong... ill never get these for Maat /cry :'(
Has there been anyone not from Windy that has been able to get these??? Because I meet all the necessary requirements and they are not availble to me. I know it has nothing to do with the current rankings cause my friend is able to get them if he were high enough rank from Windy. If anyone could help me out here that would be great!
I tried getting these the other day and couldn't. I'm Bastokan - Bastok is in first and Windurst is 2nd, and they didn't show up for me in Windurst or at the Windurstian Embassy in the Metalworks.
