Terribly sorry if this is a repeated thread but I didn't seem to find anything on it by searching, and everything I've turned up in google seems to be awfully old information and I wasn't sure if perhaps anything had changed.

My question is in regards to the starting location and nation ring. I want to play a Hume character, starting as White Mage, later picking up Black Mage as a sub and finally getting Beast Master upon reaching level 30.

I want to start in Windurst because frankly I like the culture/scenery/nature of the city as well as the aesthetic attributes to the ring. While I've been told that the ring is very outdated at this point and doesn't matter I really just want it for the novelty and as a memorable keepsake.

Starting as a Hume in Windurst, will I not be able to receive the ring upon creation? I read somewhere that you can only get the ring for the Nation that your race is originated from but I didn't see anything that confirmed it, as the information was quite old.

I'm just trying to start in the city I prefer, and still get the ring that suits it.

Thanks in advance for any help offered!
