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.

Agreed (one of the reasons that, though I would love to do the other nation storylines, I do not and remain with Bastok (Rank 10).

It really has to be a concentrated effort (which would involve the Japanese, because of the timing of conquest updates) on the last 12 hours or so to just spam the crap out of the zone (trading gear, evoliths, etc.).

You can change nations to do the story quest, then change back after your finished and have all your OPs back. It saves them for the nation you did them in.

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.
