WEll I want one of these( I am on Garuda, Will pay 200k) but i was wondering if it matters what nation you are from. Since I am from Bastok should I only get a Republic one? If i get one from another nation will the movement speed increase not work?
All nations can wear any jacket they want. It'll just increase the "speed" in the city you're in. Bastokian wearing Sandy, Sandy speed. Sandy wearing Windy, Windy speed etc.
I can definitively say this is incorrect. I used to own all 3 aketons from Bastok, San d'Oria and Windurst. Tested this extensively across my main (from Bastok) and mules from San d'Oria and Windurst, by "racing" people in all 3 cities (my characters wearing/not wearing aketon, other characters wearing/not wearing aketon). The 100% conclusion is that your character MUST be a citizen of the country whose aketon you are wearing to get the +12% movement speed (wearing the appropriate aketon in the appropriate country, of course). Sure, anyone can wear an aketon from any nation they want, but if they are not a citizen of that nation it will only be for looks as they will NOT receive the +12% movement speed.
To spell this out as clearly as possible: Bastok citizen + Republic aketon = +12% movement speed in Bastok Bastok citizen + Kingdom/Federation aketon = 0 bonus to movement speed in San d'Oria/Windurst
If you don't believe me, go ahead and spend the 800k-1mil to buy an aketon from another nation and try racing people in that nation. You will be sorely disappointed when you find you are not running any faster than people not wearing the aketon, I guarantee it.
Hey Bastokians, Looking to buy one of these babies on >>Shiva << Server. Send me a /tell "Crayola" or email me at crayolainbastok@shaw.ca please and thanks. Paying whatever they go for and then some :P Take care, and thanks!
Added: I bought one like 10 minutes after posting this message lol I paid 400k for it, I'm sure the person would of taken it for less, but there was a conflict of English / Japanese so it was kinda hard to translate "If so and so amount isn't ok, I'll go higher" I dunno, it's complicated :P To me, this is somewhat an honor to own because Bastok is never in first place on Shiva. Peace Bastokians!!
I really wish i could get one of theese for christmas or so then i would be a happy camper.
ok but for the real reason why im writing in this forum is i would like to know if its true that the mission 5-1 is capped to lvl 55 or not becaues one of my friends is saying that it is and others say it isnt so is it or isnt it???
please send me a /tell on Rikimarushadow or germancougar06@hotmail.com if im not loged on or i dont respond in the next few minutes if you are on hades server
I'd price it somewhere around 200K for the CP cost alone. Probably more with a better CP: gil item, but I was basing this off of RK mufflers (60K on seraph) for 16K CP.
DAMN. WHY do these need to be gotten when your nation is in first place...On Ramuh, Bastok is in last. Sometimes they are in first, but that usually ends verry fast...damn them...lol ; ;
Interested in selling yours? I'll pay a reasonable price - telling that price up front is bad business practice ;). Send me a /tell in-game or e-mail randolphhenryash@hotmail.com. User name is Eleas on Ragnarok.
I didnt see this on the Bastok AH, but in someones bazaar i saw it going for about 35k. i checked 2 minutes later to see if it was still there, but it was gone. He had signet staff for 24k, too
I am one of the unfortunate people who can only play FFXI 5 months a year. (Damn college and my lack of a PC that has a good enough graphics card that can handle FFXI.) So seeing this makes me happy yet so sad that I realize I'll never beable to wear it or at least if I do wear it it will take forever to get it. But this is one awsome item.
2 more things, anyone know a price range for this and if anyone has a pic of someone wearing it help us all out of give a link.
