I don't think so, because they're quests, and you can't get the quests again on the same character.

Question: Can you earn the Otherworldly Parcel more than once, and turn them in for a weapon more than once? Or, do I have to pick only a single weapon reward?

I'd like to know this, too. I've completed the quest once, then just ran to do the fate again, but I got no parcels the second time I did the fate. Are you guys going to make the quest repeatable (hopefully!) so that we can get more than one weapon on our characters?

And that was originally the case. There's a difference between punishing you for having more than one character (as XI did) and *encouraging* more than one character. The game was designed so that you could experience literally everything other than the first couple story quests (which are mostly just a tutorial anyway) with a single character.

As far as your complaint, there's nothing stopping you from getting the items on all of your CHARACTERS. (People have gotten level 50s in a matter of days before anyway, so it's not like it's not possible). If you can't do it, well, it's your fault for creating too many characters and not having enough time to play them all.

This game is not a cartoon, therefore they are characters, avatars, personas, etc. but they're not "toons."

This is not (retarded gear aside)

TrystWildkey and Foxydoe, apparently you can redo the actual FATE multiple times. I went through it twice (with a few times in between with the fate started without Lightning appearing) and got four Otherworldly Packages (2 for each time). You just have to get Silver or Gold rating to get the packages if I understand correctly.

I say toon just because I know how much it makes people's blood boil over such an absolutely meaningless and trivial term. Of all the things to worry about, this ranks about the same as being mad at the sun for not being green.

I will sound stupid, but I got the gloves, but no weapon... where can I get the weapon? I have an Otherwordly Parcel in my inventory.

You may think 3 months is a long while, but with my busy schedule it's already a LOT for me to have managed to get to lv36 as my main since launch. I do not ask for the level requirement to be lowered (while it would be FULLY LEGIT. Come on, lv48 for a lv13 armor?), but if the developers could at least guarantee that this event will repeat yearly, I may hopefully get the Lightning armor set in 2015...

Would that be too much to ask?

... Fantasia. I have two on each character. Store one on retainer, you're able to accept the second one in mail. Now, what was that about not having enough time?

You obviously did not read my post.

Can you please tell me how? I can play only two hours a day, and lv36 is as far as I got. Please tell me this awesome secret to get to 50 in a matter of days.
