Lightning FATE weapons

[CalvatE]

I am a fairly new player and have no classes at 45+. Does that mean that I can only get the weapons/hair and nothing else? Am I doomed?

It means you wont be able to get the following pieces of Lightning or Snow's outfit. For the level 15 one we have gloves so far. (Weapons are already accessible and will most likely be acquirable throughout the other ones as well.)

So yes you will miss out on everything else unless you begin leveling, however as stated on the news page which most people don't seem to read;

* This event is scheduled to make a return in February 2014 for the North American and European release of Lightning Returns: FINAL FANTASY XIII.

People in game keep shouting "WERE I GET QUEST I CANT FIND"... I can understand not knowing where the FATE is but blah!

So yeah you'll miss this time around but you have until February to get to 45+

Thank you so much CalvatE ;w;...I will just try my best to be ready next time it comes then.

You also have until Dec6 to get a class to 45. I already got them all to 30, so I just picked one and am FATE grinding it to 45 for this (which I hate doing)

So, it's weapons from the FATE, with all of them aquirable from basically any level (so long as you can productively take part in the FATE), then the clothing set from the four quests, starting with the gloves for chapter 1 (available at level 12), then additional peices for chapters 2, 3, and 4 at levels 26, 38, and 45. (We can probably assume the coat, as the clearly nicest piece of both clothing sets, will be the level 45 quest.) Do I have that right?

I was under the understanding that if you want all weapons for each class then they would need to all be up to lvl 45 to get all the content
I could be wrong, if it is the case then all i want is for my PLD (7 levels to go) and want to work up black mage to get that awesome staff
Most likely the weapons may only be on the final quest. I hope more inventory slots are made available for all these

The weapons can all be done with the 1st quest, rather with the fate where Lightning appears in Middle and Western La Noscea. All you need is to collect the "Otherwordly Parcel" that you receive as a reward, and trade them in for the weapon of choice. There are no other requirements.

It is the costume that probably requires all the quests to be done to acquire all the pieces.

Great, thanks
Now which weapon to decide .....

When you've finished the quest you can still go back and do the same Lightning FATE's and you'll receive 2 Otherworldy parcels.

So you can get every FFXIII weapon before the next quest chain even starts.

If you were around for the Summer Bomb event, remember doing those all the time and how you then wound up with like 999 Wet Bombard ash? Same thing applies for Lightning FATE, except with Otherworldy Parcels. You can stack them to 99 if you wanted to stick around to do them.

You don't need to even start the quest to receive Otherworldy parcels because the reward is tied to the FATE itself.
