Yea i bought one of these thinking the speed+ worked for any person.....WRONG!! You gotta be from Windy for the speed+ to work :( Anyone on Sylph looking for one, mines in bazzar for 500k. Send Ballin a /tell if interested.

yea, isn't it ******* nice how FFXI doesn't list THAT little detail in the description? I'm friggin PISSED... I love wasting gil - especially in this Great Depression we seem to be stuck in on Bahamut Server... Anyone want this thing from me? Send me a /tell (character is Zarozinia) - I spent 200K... REALLY regretting it at this point.
Hey, im willing to sell these for 700,000 gil on Cerberus if anyones interested. And for an extra 400,000 gil, I'll throw in Federation Signet Staff with full 25/25 charge.
I got one less than a month ago on Asura for 1.25 million gil. Personally, I got it for the looks really...
Anyway, as other posters said the speed boost only works if you're a Windurstian in Windurst. Otherwise it won't. Rank and level don't matter, nothing does but your allegiance does. Crystal drops are affected when wearing it regardless who controls the area (unless it's beastmen then no crystal drops at all.) but I'm not sure if nation matters or not here as well. Most likely it does but who knows...
I wore my aketon as a new Windurstian character in the Ronfaure when San d'Oria had control, saw about a 1.5 increase in crystal drops, it definitely works.
Oh and a little tip... Definitely worth it to those who trade in sardines to the NPC in Port Windurst, speeds up the process. I know one friend of mine who makes new characters weekly to do this and get the teleport and Warp II scrolls. He makes a buttload of gil off doing it so if you're that type, look into a Federation Aketon.
does anyone know for sure if the crystal drop rate is world wide, or it's only an increased drop rate in windy controlled areas? the movement speed seems to only work in windy, which is fine, but the crystal drop rate seems the same in ronfaure.
lol ive seen some ppl selling them but im poor *drools* lol i want wanna of these badly lol i cant belive their so cool.... lol why would a person sell somthing like this...
A really good friend got me one of these, and I love it soooo much -^.^- It looks awesome <3 Since I'm a whm I'm not worrying about defense all that much, and my current top (Savage Seperates) wasn't doing anything to mage-class stats anyway. The +12% movement is really nice in Windurst, since it's a pretty long walk from one place to another. I don't have signet on a whole lot, so I'm yet to really see the impact on crystal drop. Style over substance? who knows -^^;;
I don't think I'd shell out gil for it, but I wouldn't mind spending my CP on it when I finally hit rank 10. If there's any town that a little increased movement would help out in, it's Windy. ^_^;
