2.0 Starter Equipment for Everyone!?

Dear SE,
I am very excited about 2.0 and all it has to offer, especially on my current character. I have noticed that you are introducing some new starter gear to the game that is really very cute in comparison to the drab brown potato sacks we started out with. I wanted to ask if those of us who already have characters would have access to this starting gear in 2.0 or only those who start a new character?

Perhaps this has not been thought of but since 2.0 is like an event in itself the gear can just be placed in our Event Item Storage Lockers or perhaps when we remake our character that is what we are dressed in, until we get all sorted out with our inventory in game?

I am sure there are a lot of gear collectors out there who would appreciate something like this!

P.S. Is that an actual dagger or a dagger just for belt accent and design. I am assuming design since no one else is carrying a weapon.

Thanks!

If it's starter equipment it will definitely be for new players only...but if they were smart and look at what they did with FFXI with RSE, they can add in "3 sets", the starter, the 2nd tier which is quested and the 3rd which comes from drops but that was only hands and feet, but that way everyone will get a shot at having RSE gear of some kind.

We have not had one type of gear specific to a race or class yet. Perhaps on top of the chocobo Legacy peeps can get something of this sort. ♀ ♂

I'm sure it will be available for everyone. :) I don't see why not? :o In most MMO you can rebuy the starter gear in case you toss it, etc. But in 2.0's case this has never been done before in a MMO...so to make it fair I imagine everyone will have the chance to have it. Would be silly not to. :o

It will be available to all. Why? XI has NPCs in every starting nation that all sell level 1 starter-RSE for each race.

where did they say RSE equipment would be starter clothing

Make us work for it.

Time consuming RSE coffer quests go go !

Didn't Square pretty much say that all of our current items will be held by an NPC for pickup come 2.0? I'd imagine they'll use that as a way to toss the new starting gear on us, coming out of the re-creation screen.

RSE = Race Starter Equip

i'm sure it would be buyable from the NPC in the adventure guilds like this nice body: http://mooglebox.com/entries/hempen-dalmatica.php

edit: hmm, s is for specific

ok, then I quote a part from the letter

The all-new stuff was artwork of beginning-level race-specific gear and a couple of real, beautifully modeled costumes based on those designs!

I always thought it was Race Specific Equipment. . . :x

That being said I do think SE will add an NPC that sells it, just like they did in FFXI if the RSE is being introduced as starter equip♪

I just hope we'll at least be allowed to play the main scenario. Those gears are beautiful, but not absolutely necessary in the end! But well, having a way to get them would be appreciated! :)

S.E. said they will change starter equipment for 2.0, and that there will be race specific equipment. Are you sure that they are making the race specific gear the starter equipment too? Is that verified somewhere?

Anyways, I hope theyre crafted.

No... You're right. It's definitely Race Specific Equipment. At least, that's the only way I've seen it used.

LOL "the drab brown potatoe sacks" lol

At the very minimum, the char creation screen with the manqo'te has him wearing the same outfit as the artwork

ftfy. Doesn't matter what XI did, because XIV already does it.

he's wearing the classic FFXIV doublet, actually, unless there's a different screenshot than the one im thinking of.

and if its buyable (or get-able through specific mean), we can wear it on specific day!
Adventurers Day!

Nope, I think i'm blind and/or have bad memory, sorry.

Ya rse stands for race specific equipment I'm pretty sure, but ya as said if we don't get it and it is starter equipment and you want it, just buy it from the NPC, much like you can do now with the starter equipment

We'll all be getting. No doubt about. And I'm sure we are all getting it the same way. New and veteran players alike.

I'm either expecting everyone to start with their RSE on. Remember, something will happen to create the leap from 1.23 to 2.0.
Either we start off with wearing them as we proceed through the intro of 2.0 or we have to obtain them through some method. Be it buying, questing or whatever.

I, very much doubt that S-E will go. "Here you go newbies. Have some free nice looking gear. Those veterans can buy it from that pawn shop over there."

I hope it won't be starter gear, and this is why:

• It's so cool looking, in a few short levels you would be massively downgraded in your appeal of visual awesome. Unless the stats on it are good enough to last you to at least 30, you'll cry when you have to take it off to wear cotton.
  
  
• Having it be a level 35~40 RSE would be something huge for players to look forward to. I'm fairly new and in my high 20s, so having it be something to look forward to would be a huge bonus. It will be useful for me, and not just AFK/Town gear.
  
  
• It won't be everywhere IMMEDIATELY. Remember when those cute blue anniversary dresses came out in XI? Adorable, but everywhere. They lost their appeal quickly compared to other items that were slightly more difficult to obtain, though just as lovely. -I realize that most players already have a legion of level 50s at their disposal, so this whole point may be moot.

I also hope that it isn't crafted because that would be a detriment to new players or any players that do not have the needed craft leveled. Unless it could be a quest where you attain super special awesome rare items of fantabulousness and have an "instance" where you can craft it yourself without having to have Weaver at 40+.

Other than that. It's lovely, and I can't wait to see many of you wearing it -be it on our new female Roegs or our new snazzy male kittycats~

That's my exact description you are writing here! :D

Ok, rse is for race specific equip
But Yoshi-P called it beginning-level RSE in his letter, too

yes, beginning level rse as starter rse

Some of you must have been wondering if the new 2.0 starting gear will be available for existing players. The devs are thinking of making them available through a NPC or through crafting.

All the details haven't been decided yet, but do not worry !

Youmukon is stealing my thunder! :p

As Felis pointed out, the 2.0 starter gear will be distributed in some way to you guys either through a NPC or crafting. Details are still be decided though. ^^

Thats great. Would be sad to see: Hey check out thise awesome looking starter gear. Shame you guys started before 2.0 and can't have :P

Maybe, we will all sort of wake up naked, wounded, and the tutorial will be us getting brought back to good health by someone, who will give us the starter gear.

Then, as we make our way to the starter city near our starting point, there is your Companion, who has all of your gear that you had on your character, which would then make them act as a container you can only take out of (Can't place things on them), until you have obtained all of your old items (because inventory will most likely be reduced, you won't be able to hold it all at once.)

If you are a post 2.0 player, or never did the companion quest, maybe it could be a random good samaritan?
