Signet guards near outpost warp NPCs

[Paksenarrion]

I'm one of them crazy people who pick up Signet when I go out to do stuff like skillup, farm, etc., even if I'm not getting exp. I suppose I like the hHP it gives.

I also employ the outpost warp NPCs a lot. They get me where I'm going, especially for places the lack a maw.

When your nation controls a region, you can obtain Signet right where you warp in. This is nice, but your nation doesn't control every region 100% of the time.

When Outpost NPCs were first implemented, with the exception of the one in Bastok, they were decently close to Signet guards. They weren't standing right next to them, but it was typically a quick jaunt over.

At one point, they changed the NPC locations. This put them closer to a Mog House entrance. With the exception of Bastok, this put all of them further away from the Signet guard (Bastok's, while still a small distance away, was nowhere near as bad as it was in Metalworks!).

Signet isn't the first thing on my mind, typically. I'll run to the outpost NPC, and realize that I didn't get Signet, and have to go a bit out of my way to go get it.

So what are the chances of getting a Signet guard within a more reasonable proximity to the outpost warp NPC?

Go one step further, put Signet Guard + Outpost Teleport + Whitegate Teleport + Abyssea Teleport + Avatar Cloister Teleport + any/all New Teleport all together, in a city zone that has an AH.

I really don't think all that is necessary...Since if you're going to Aht Urhgan or Abyssea, you probably don't need Signet.

And yes, I can sense the "let's make fun of the lazy idiot" sarcasm. Ha. Ha. You're so funny.

did kingfury make your sig this week?

[Paksenarrion]

You say that like I change my sig weekly. =o It's only my second sig on this board. But yes, he did.

Just imagine me sarcastically making fun of the inevitable posters who will come to this thread in favor of bad design and wasting countless hours running across towns to see NPCs placed in inconvenient or outdated locations who think any changes for the sake of convenience are somehow making this game "too easy."

Signet staff ftw ^^

Does he do requests?

I'm just hoping I'm not lumped in there. I personally thought that moving the outpost warp NPCs to near the MH wasn't a good thing, but I'm sure I'm the only one. I think having the NPCs spaced out like they are is a good thing (Previously had no reason to go to Port San d'Oria, now I go there all the time!). The only issue I have is that I can't decide which zone to set my HP in now! Have had it set to Southern San d'Oria since ToAU, but I've been coming out of the Port exit so much...I should just adopt a Jeuno HP, except then I'd whine about lack of outpost warps there. XD

I didn't think you could use it on yourself. Could be wrong though, but I can't fathom that I wouldn't have tried it before.

I just posted as a reply in this thread (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/1978-The-FFXI-Gyms-of-Vana-diel-Self-Improvement-Reborn!/page41) (Direct link to the page it all happened on) that I liked his sig and just said that I wanted one. I didn't think he would ask for source images for it, but surprisingly, he agreed to make me one. I just hope I haven't started a terrible trend for him. =x I'd feel bad.

Signet staff ftw ^^That's what I use anytime I need signet and know there won't be a NPC after warp to give it to me. It gives me a reason to own and use them. Granted, I think they are inferior to NPC signet where the buff only lasts like 4 hours or so but eh I only need longer if I afk over night somewhere. In that case I make the effort to get NPC signet.
