I envy your pugilist's balanced stats. My rogue's messing up my squad!

I can't do the mission yet. I'll have to save it for another day.

Let me go with them! I'll show them how it's done!

Thats the problem, we can't go with them. So dumb, I hated it in WoW, I hate it here

Problem with that item is you already need to have ranked up to first lieutenant to buy it. If we need a good squadron to get first lieutenant then by the time we can buy that item, we won't need it... so that's basically for if you decide you want a new looking character on your squad.

---

It can also be a reward for some of the missions. That still requires a workable 4 member squad, but at least it's a lower bar than 1st Lieutenant.

What happens when you fail a mission? Do they just come back without the expected XP boost, so spent a few seals and 18 hours for nothing? What does the sergeant and/or mission report say about it?

(I really think they should flesh out these missions with some details about what happened. Not even the recon mission gave any info, and that's what they went for, to get info. It'd be so much cooler if they had real mission reports that say what happened, what they encountered, etc.)

Well, the fact that you can get that item proves that the system allows for giving out items as a result of missions. Maybe it's just these low-level trainee missions where there's nothing more useful.

they come back with minimal exp and nothing else. source: mine failed a mission and got like 2k exp lmao

and the sergeant just says it failed.

All this cruddy RNG just for a fancy coat and hat.
The things I do for vanity...

Since they are changing their gear as they level, I hope they change jobs as well once they hit 30.

I have a problem.

I have 3 archers. I want to go sob in a corner now, because I can't decide which ones I wanna boot, if at all.

I've got...
1 Conjurer (and my only healer)
1 Marauder
1 Gladiator
1 Lancer
1 Thaumaturge
3 Archers

That's what I get for maining Bard. If this later turns into some FF Tactics minigame, we're gonna rain so much death from afar. :/

(And the singing. Can't forget all the singing.)

EDIT: I just realized I can class change the Archers at will later on. Horray!

I thought you could boot members when you had 8/8 people? Is that not possible?

It'll be worth it in the long run, when they add more items for this rank. Hopefully useful items and new tier of gc furnitures and minions / gc barding.
