So my friend got the chocobo suit from the achievement today and he was so excited to be able to vanity as a chocobo, he asked me how to get the mask, I told him it's a 1.0 remnant and isn't obtainable in the game anymore. As you can imagine he was rather crestfallen about this, as this is the third or fourth time this has happened to him, onion knight armour comes out, he didn't buy 1.0, no helmet for you!! Warrior of light armour comes out, he didn't buy 2.0 CE, no helmet for you!!! Ps4 CE reward, moogle minion and fat chocobo come out, PS4 CE items, he doesn't own a PS4, no minion or mount for you!!!!!
I mean I get having some exclusive items and all but the fact they are releasing sets to everyone then having the final piece exclusive or unobtainable, it's just kind of getting to the point where it's a bit of a dick move.
Going overboard with the exclusive items a bit.

You can upgrade to CE any time through the mogstation and get any past, preset, and future rewards (even the PS4 ones).
The Chocobo mask will probably return as a new achievement reward at some point. There is quite a bit of chocobo-related content in the works. -

Well he said he's gonna upgrade to CE now seeing as it's half off on steam, so can tick some of em off the list, but he's still mad that I get to parade my onion helm in front of him when I'm only level 15 lancer and don't even care about the onion set. :)

From gamer escape ffxiv wiki: Was originally rewarded from the Grand Company achievement Handle with Care III, but after 2.0 launched it was dropped from that achievement. As this item is impossible to get now, the only way you'll see it is if someone has it leftover from 1.0!
So yes it came from caravans. -

What's the Chocobo Suit achievement?
-

Oh no wonder I don't have it, had to do it 1000 times, I did it a couple times at most before finding out it was pretty boring and I didn't need GC seals or anything.

Also didn't get the moogle hat and cait sith minion that was a bonus from pre-ordering arr. I didn't since I obviously already have an account (did I somehow miss a way to get these two?)Quote:

Hermes Shoes you could only get for a certain period in 1.0 if you also had an active FFXI account, that you then linked with your FFXIV 1.0 account. Any characters created after that point until the offer was canceled would then start with the shoes in their inventory at the start of 1.0.Quote:

Garlond Goggles though was a bonus item voucher which came with the first run of the standard edition of version 1.0, which despite being hard to find, if you can track down the item voucher from it, the item code will still work in ARR. This also goes for the Onion Helm which was a bonus item voucher with the version 1.0 Collector's Edition. -
02-21-2014, 10:32 PMKyroeFelixI'll take your word for it. My xi account had long since been cancelled by the time I bought this game so not sure how I got the shoes then.Quote:

I got a new chocobo suit and it feels so pointless unless they add in a way to get the mask again :(

I am 100% sure they will add the mask, or something that looks the same, into ARR at some point. They have slowly but surely been making the exclusive event gear available, I cant think of any other achievement gear that isnt available in ARR, it seems silly to do that with a piece of gear that is prominant in every chocobo stable, especially one which completes a set of gear that was just added. The only things they are unlikely to make available though some other means are promotional items (the pre-order and tie-in bonuses) and the ravens earrings.
Be patient, it'll come.
