City ring's suggestion. please like if interested!

[Umichi]

I was just thinking that after you hit rank ten on your nations city you can get a quest that allows you to upgrade your city ring you recieved at level 1 (or w/e rank it is to get it if you didnt start in your natural city) to get enchanted with a city teleport.


This came about as i was thinking therer really isn't a direct warp right back to your city outside of books (which really isnt a direct warp) and the VW warp (which is kinda useless if your out in the field anyways.)

I figured the quest could be a little challenging. or involve all three nations in the quest. or both!

as for the enchant? teleport to (insert name of city on ring here) 1/1 0:30 (20hr cd) or (2hr cd)

I figure the CD could be fair either way. i mean i'm only looking for an item i can use occasionally that's convienient not something to make traveling anywhere obsolete because you can just go to your home nation at anytime.

Could also upgrade the stats if you wanted to. or introduce random augments that are useless for combat.

like Increase movement speed in (city) by 5%
or Increases chance of multiple crystal drops but makes it impossible to farm clusters
While in (city) refresh+3 regen+5

these are just some ideas.... i figured i'd throw it out there for SE to take it and make it their own.. but the important thing is the city teleport!

Also you can't own all three upgraded rings... if you switch nations your ring gets returned to it's original state and requires the quest to be done all over again.

I don't like that idea. I went to a lot of trouble to get all 3 rings on one character. I don't want to lose them just because I chose to upgrade them.

[Umichi]

you don't lose your base ring.... just the enchants and augments get wiped..

Oh okay, that makes more sense. :3

._. if you actually look through the gear available from Conquest Points, there are upgraded versions of the rings already: Gold Musketeer's Ring (http://www.ffxiah.com/item/13558/gldmsk-ring), Grand Knight's Ring (http://www.ffxiah.com/item/13557/gndkgt-ring), and Patriarch Protector's Ring (http://www.ffxiah.com/item/13559/ptrprt-ring). All are available upon reaching rank 7 with their respective nations for 32,000 conquest points.

Granted, all of them are completely irrelevant now, but they're still there and have been for years.

you also have Runes now, to get you to the starter nations as well as others (part of the waypoint system):

And then there's the waystones as well.

Just saying, there's already remedies out there if one cares to use them.

While I certainly can sympathize with wanting a portable method of city warp, with the problems plaguing most players inventory-wise, I don't think more stuff to carry around is the solution. Instead, an expansion of the waypoint system would be an easier and more logical solution to implement. That way, all you have to do is warp to your HP, use the waypoint outside of all mog house exits and warp to any nation for which you have the rune.

I would see That.

In order to get the new ring Lvl 75 or w/e
You need the Nations ring LV.1 + the ring level 60 + A signet staff and a quest where you need to farm an R/E item.
Which you need to group with. Like a rift dross or something like that

Bastokan Hero's Ring
---------------------------
HP+75
DEX+6
AGI+4
VIT+6
Resist Petrify
Teleport to home nation <1/1 0:00 24:00 >

San D'orian Templar Ring
-----------------------------
MP+60
STR+5
MND+6
DEX+5
Resist Poison
Teleportation to home nation <1/1 0:00 24:00>

Windurstian Ring (i can't find a cool name)

HP MP +33
STR+4
INT+6
AGI+6
Resist Silence
Teleportation <1/1 0:00 24:00>

Would Be nice, dreaming is not the way to go.

But instead of telportation or resist I would put
"Increase Signet Duration" or " "Enhances Signet Effect"

Putting Regen or refresh on a ring would just be retarded. no one would wear the new rings >.>;

I assume that you neither read the title of this forum, nor the sticky about posting in this forum:


Feedback and Suggestions on the Game

Thank you for your understanding.

As to your suggestion, you could just use homing ring, then use either the OP warp, or book warp from there. (though I guess that wouldn't work in WoTG, ToAU or SoA areas?)
