Strider Boots and Hermes' Shoes

[RitsukoSonoda]

Then SE ripped me off, I had a sub here since beta for 1.0 and never got the Hermes' Shoes.

You had to link your PlayOnline account to your SE account. On top of that it was given to only 1 character and not an account perk like some of the other stuff from back then.

Make people do eureka for them, it’s not like the game has any better content.

Eureka is peak content.

Even to this day it is more rewarding than any other piece of long term content in the game

Need Gil? Bunny fates.
Need Glam? Elemental sets.
Need that raiding itch to be scratched? BA.

Oh.. and the gear obtained in Eureka actually HELPS you in Eureka. CHARACTER PROGRESSION! OMG

That explain it since my first characters is on JP servers. Other part think tried to link them and gave up since not good at that type of stuff.

If pvp sprint will let you run endlessly, why can't sprint do that in town?
If island sprint can refresh as often as you run, why can't sprint do that in town?

But sure, I'd like the boots to work just being in invintory, if I have to pick a small and possible dream.

Because they are completely different skills. In PvP areas your normal skills are exchanged for a set of PvP actions, in Island Sanctuary you still have access to your normal sprint, but also get the additional duty action for sprinting.

To make that work in a city-state they either have to add a duty action when you are in a city, or exchange the sprint action with a different skill, which then automatically has to be replaced on your hotbar every time you enter or leave a city.

Of course the more elegant solution would be to increase the duration of the normal sprint. The duration is shorter in combat, only 10 seconds, and longer when you are wearing the mentioned shoes, 30 seconds. So it should be possible to add another line to the code which asks if you are in a city-state and when it says yes the duration will be increased to 60 seconds.

But programming all that takes time and my expectations are low. I will rather ask for the thing which takes less effort, since the system is already in place: Buffing the Strider Boots and Hermes' Shoes.

It would also be a good first step and bandaid fix before we can have a proper endless sprint.

Honestly, removing sprint with a cast time and make it a constant icon (unless in battle) would be a better fit. They do it in PVP already. So cut down both the button bloat and the sprint feature

From the mirror archive of the old Lodestone from 1.0:

If a PlayOnline ID with an active FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID is linked to a Square Enix account with a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account, all new characters created on that FINAL FANTASY XIV service account will start out possessing an in-game bonus item. However, you cannot obtain in-game bonus item or will take long period of time to obtain one under following conditions.

- If you have created a character before linking your PlayOnline ID (It is, however, possible to receive the in-game item by deleting the characters you created, linking your PlayOnline ID, and then re-creating your characters).
- If, at the time of creating your FINAL FANTASY XIV character, the linked PlayOnline ID’s FINAL FANTASY XI Content IDs are invalid (the Content IDs have been cancelled and are thus not being billed).
*In case you reactivate the FINAL FANTASY XI Content IDs, it will take about a day until in-game bonus item becomes obtainable.
- If the linked PlayOnline ID’s FINAL FANTASY XI is in the free trial period.

So, if you didn't make a FFXIV account under the same SE account as your XI account and did not have an active Content ID that wasn't a free trial or cancelled, you wouldn't get the item. If you had an active service account and added the XIV one to the same service account, you got the shoes.

While I applaud your enthusiasm - everything mentioned is only usable within Eureka. The rest is glam. And I know "glam is the end-game" there isn't much application for Eureka outside of it. And this is coming from someone that thoroughly enjoyed Eureka and thought it was a great addition to the game.

Also Eureka glams are hardly for everyone, no style of glam is, as someone who enjoys femme dresses and cute outfits, not a single Eureka glam works for me.
