1rst lieutenants reporting for duty!

Got my promotion Saturday, but it seem we are still quite the minority. So I figured why not make a thread so people can post their bragging rights (until it become mainstream at least)

I would be one but silly me decided to dismiss high level members for a cute au'ra/miqote.

did yesterday too, kinda disappointed by the reward of the special assignement and the fact we can only do one per week. the item given are kinda garbage for a lot of us... maybe with the expansion they will get usefull... but since it's faster to level up in the palace of the dead, what is the point of scroll increasing the exp earn, seal, symbiose and such.
however some new affinity are kinda neat like have a % to get materia as reward from a mission.

absolutely guilty of this. kept one token lala and one roe for racial diversity, and the rest are qts

I'm not sure it's really bragging rights as it's not exactly hard to get... both my character, my two alts and a few people in my FC have done it and I haven't even asked around!

They're essentially an additional FC buff, which means that many people can now have three things going at once. They may not all necessarily be useful all the time, but all of them have reasonable application.

That aside, I got my promotion today. I got a bit lucky in not needing to dismiss too many people to get a team I wanted. Just had really bad luck with failures.

probably, but it don't change that when you get lieutenant, you have already a very high level. and most of this buff are....well nice but it's not what you do expect from mission you can do only 1 time per week as reward.

Could be worse. It could be what it seemed to be at the start, itemless retainer ventures. Or, more frustratingly, the same sort of crap retainers pull anyway. Send off a level capped retainer, it comes back with level 1 fish.
And, as you said, these personal FC style buffs are on top of the things they can be made to bring back anyway, like Materia or Clusters.

The food buff alone would be a great help for raiders.

Those buffs are very potent and even if you aren't levelling now they will be very handy when you have to go from 60-70.
