How would you like certain items to be changed?

Make animator upgrades actual upgrades, either to maneuver duration, maneuver capacity, overload suppression, all of the above, or anything really. 86 levels of difference between an animator and the deluxe animator and the only improvement is +6 dex...really?

[Cybermario]

Always wodnered why there was no trials for the Artifact gear and weapons, i know they are really low level but honestly unless you are in the range of 40-50 they are worthless. Would love if we could have AF+2 and trials for the AF weapons, even if it's hard.

Also, please... let us do Magician Trials with Thief Knife. Is vital for THF class to use that weapon but our DPS is awful, let us do trials to upgrade the weapon.

We will try and look into ways that corsair bullets can be obtained. Since there are almost no NPCs in Vana'diel who sell bullets, we would first like to look into offering them as items that can be exchange for specific content points or as a reward for Walk of Echoes.

This seems silly. Why should corsairs be singled out for their choice of ammunition when it comes to buying more of it?

Let's compare rangers and corsairs as one of many examples. Rangers only need weapons, ammunition, and equipment. Like any other physical damage-dealing job, a ranger will wear equipment that helps them gain TP faster while also making their shots both more powerful and more accurate. When using a weapon skill, rangers will switch to equipment that adds to the main attributes the chosen weapon skill draws from for its damage. Just about the only two reasons a ranger would even need to use an axe or a dagger are if they're out of ammunition (arrows or bolts, because rangers don't use typically use guns) or if they gained too much enmity.

And that's just a party situation.

A corsair has to buy similar equipment, weapons, and ammunition. But in addition to that, corsairs have to buy the dice needed to learn Phantom Rolls, and bullets for guns are much harder to come by compared to arrows and bolts for bows (which corsairs can't use) and crossbows (which are very uncommon for corsairs).

Bullets are more expensive than arrows or bolts because of their scarcity. Making bullets a reward on the Walk of Echoes or something you get in exchange for specific content points is ridiculous when every merchant NPC and their mothers sell arrows and bolts. This imbalance lets anyone who takes up smithing make a fortune from just bullets, even compared to arrows and bolts.

There needs to be a balance between all of this, and making bullets a special reward of any kind won't do that. You need to have more merchant NPCs sell bullets, or you need to have less merchant NPCs sell arrows/bolts. It's as simple as that.

Heck, guns in general tend to be rare birds in early FFXI.

I can get a crossbow at level 1. Good luck finding a vendor-available firearm until 22nd. Likewise ammo. Ironically, the lowest level gun available drops in caskets near Windurst, on the other side of the world- and again, good luck finding ammo for it! Ditto the next lowest...which is off of orcs in Fort Ghelsba.

This from the proud owner of a dinky lil' Firefly, who didn't find level appropriate ammo for sale...until picking up a bronze bandoleer in ANOTHER casket near Bastok. Seriously? I know gunpowder is the in thing for Bastokians, but at least it'd be nice to see them selling stuff like musketoons along with the bigger guns. And lower-level ammo. Y'know, for the non-rangers.

i think the effects of souleater and last resort enhancements you get from relic and af1 should stay on when swapping out the gear, cause both just sit in storage and never get used.

I wish all of the pieces of gear like that worked the same way, however admittedly some would be more over powered than others.

[Cycerath]

true, but relic drk feet don't seem like they'd be over powered, all they add is reduce defense penalty by 10% (about 70% defense for me). at the minimum i'd like to see these being useful for macros.

[ManaKing]

The item I would like most changed is my inventory. It needs to hold more than 80 pieces at this point, because I have too many macros on RDM and not enough inventory to keep it all, much less drops.

It is probably the thing that gets in the way of my enjoying my days on FFXI more than anything else.

If I could fill up 80 Inventory with nothing but gear, I'd probably have enough. We either need 90-99(100) inventory, or we need a new bag that holds drops. You can sell to vendors directly out of it and everything you pick up goes directly to it.

A bag for consumables such as food and potions would be nice as well.

You do know about Mog Sacks, right? Accessible from anywhere, grows to match the size of your gobbiebag.

I use mine for all the tradeskill swag I pick up running around, while the gobbiebag is for equipment. That's 160 spaces to work with in total!

Very true but somehow I've managed to fill just about all of that on my main character.
