Regional Outposts

[DerianX]

I would love to see something implemented that allows players to gain access to the near unobtainable regional outposts in the beginner areas.

While other regions can require some patience to obtain, the Ronfaure, Sarutabaruta and Gustaberg regions historically have taken years before changing regional control and it is at a point now where we realistically may never see them change control again unless something new is introduced.

That's how it should be. Taking over another nation's front yard very well should be a monumental, nigh-impossible task.

I'm from San d'Oria since 2003 and I got Sarutabaruta in november/december 2010 !!!
this was the second time that happened, I miss the first some years ago...
but now I have all OP..

p.s.
If I change nations, I'll lost every OP right? and if I return back to my first allegiance nations I'll find back my OP or I will have to re-obtain again?

Your OPs will be saved.

The only starting nation's OP worth getting would be Sarutabaruta. There are 2 maws in the Gustabergs with insta-warps to them. There is also a maw close enough to the Ronfaure OP to not worry about it.

Pretty much this. The Abys La Theine warp puts you right next to the zone to West Ronfaure, which is pretty close to the outpost. The Abys Altepa warp is actually CLOSER to Bastok than the Gustaberg outpost (as the op is in lower north gustaberg).

Yeah it costs cruor which not all players have stocked up until they start doing abyssea runs (or leeching), but it works. Sarutabuta is the only one most linkshells organize to take over nowadays, if at all.

Retrace and go to West Sarutabaruta [S] Maw, my only suggestion I can make. I been trying to get Dunes OP since last April. Since the maw is for Misereaux [A] is in Dunes now, I really do not need it, especially when I can run over to Selbina and change to whatever job I need to change to work on levels.

Like a lot of other people have said, that's the point. They're meant to be hard to get. I've played for over 2 years now, been from Windurst all that time and I have had all outposts but Gustaberg and Ronfaure for 1.5 years. I don't expect that to change, end of! :P

I just compensate with all the other modes of 'transport' that other posters have mentioned. You can still get everywhere almost as fast now-a-days, it might just add an extra 30 seconds onto your journey.

Take over the outpost for yourself. My character started in Bastok, and I'm back with Bastok now. However, back in December, I ran through Sandoria missions with a buddy from my linkshell. I was a Sandorian for two weeks. At one point, I captured Gustaberg for Sandoria, JUST FOR FUN. I fully intended to go back to Bastok after hitting rank 10, and in Bastok I had all the outpost warps (including Ronfaure and Sarutabaruta). I staged the takeover for fun.

It's not that hard. Spend your cruor on a full set of Perle, Aurore, and Teal gear (I think 72,000 cruor should suffice). Then wait by the outpost until just before the weekly conquest tally and trade it all in. You'll buy a bunch of influence for your nation.

However, it's important that you do this immediately, and I mean IMMEDIATELY, before the conquest tally. More than 10 minutes before the conquest tally and control will shift back to the home nation.

lol, wondered how to do that.......I was lucky being from Bastok on Hades we got Windy OP a couple of times, but never ever did I see Bastok get Sandi, jumped to Ramora with some friends and I kid you not, 10 mins (was only there 3 days at this point) before tally I noticed Bastok had Sandy.....you have never seen anyone get to Sandy as fast as I did that day. I couldn't believe my luck.........three months later I was back in Hades with all op's
