[Zoner]

Effing love your sig. Could u tell me who did it?

If you wanna try to commission something you can try her website here: http://www.lurazeda.com/

For me, it's more about things like the goobbue mount .

Indeed! There's so many things from 1.0 that I seem unable to get now! Examples:


Onion set (Helmet, Doublet, Gaskins, Pattens);
Hermes' Shoes/Garlong Goggles/Peregrine Helm (Think these were old CE rewards, maybe make it a veteran reward?);
Rings of the Twelve (The player used to receive the ring matching their Guardian at the beginning of the game);
Dalamud Horn/Moonlet (Maybe make 1.0 scenario-related quests related to them? Different colored versions would be fit too);
Chocobo Mask (so tired to be an headless chocobo!);
Asuran Armguards (I don't even know how these were obtained, but they look so damn cool);
Adventurer's accessories (Neck, Ears, Wrist, Ring);
Moogle Earrings;
Manderville Earrings;
Eorzean Bliaud;
Wood Wailer's Jacket;

But most of all...

Star-spanged subligar!! WANT!

Hermes' Shoes was awarded to players that had both active FFXI and FFXIV accounts, for a limited time. They currently give you the ability to have a constant Sprint up while in cities.

Just to clarify, the onion helm was the only 1.0 CE virtual item reward. For some reason though, a lot of people mix it up with the peregrine helm. Granted, one's a recolour of the other, but the perry was bought by trading in 30(?) crystals gained from normal game play to an NPC in Grid. The non helm parts of the onion set could be earned as random rewards for faction leves (a type of leve that doesn't exist anymore) but the onion helm was the 1.0 CE item and could not be received any other way in game.

I think the Asuran Armguards were the item code that was supposed to come with the Standard Edition of the game, though no one here in Australia seemed to know anything about them when I bought my CE (I tend to chat when I buy games so I talked with the EB Games guys about the SE even though I wasn't buying it) so I'm wondering if only some were able to get them...

Anyone know what the Eorzean Bliaud is or where it came from though? I don't remember that o.o

The Asuran Armguards are from the first wave of XIII when you used the pre-register code for the XIV 1.0 PS3 Beta (that never happened). You could still get the armguards after that fact, though, by proving you registered and jumping support ticket hurdles because by the time there was a PS3 Beta it was long after they removed the XIII registration site. Best arm gear in the game till level 15 they are.

Bring back the Kimono / Lord's Clogs ASAP!

Not before the next summer event

Onion gear you can get from retainer venture if you are lucky. You can als get a Red Onion Helm (was Aurun Vale drop during 1.0) from Retainer or buy it in the MB if someone sell one he get from his retainer

I always found it interesting that the majority of MMO players will be borderline hostile to a player who wishes for more exclusive/unique items that are no longer obtainable. They sarcastically call them names like "special snowflake" and "selfish" for wanting things to be no longer obtainable and special.

It just reminds me of the concept in the clip below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8I9pYCl9AQ

Once everyone has those unique items, they are no longer unique.

Will I ever get those cool 1.0 items? No, absolutely not...and I'm ok with it. They did something to obtain the items I did not manage to get, and they deserve having it in my eyes. Cool new items and opportunities will present themselves down the road so that *I* can have my chance to earn something cool, so that they can keep the uniqueness of the items they had back when it was their turn.

Plus there are so many items that are currently accessible to everyone without those 1.0 items. We can't reasonably have them all, right?

I will also throw out there that I think re-releasing seasonal gear is fine due to the limited time window that it is obtainable, as long as they release new gear as well!

/Unpopular opinion =/

I agree 100%. I never got a chance to get the legacy mount, heck I missed the chance to get some items that I could've gotten in 1.0, however I don't care if it's exclusive to those people. It makes the game more interesting. People who cry "special snowflake" are hilarious, because most likely the players that want this don't care if they didn't get an exclusive item.

Rings of the Twelve (The player used to receive the ring matching their Guardian at the beginning of the game);

other people mentioned the other stuff... but the "Rings of the Twelve" came from the End of the Era quest line that had you use the brand new (at the time) pray emote at the various Stones bearing the marks of the twelve (which if you know were to look, several are still in the game), the player would recieve a ring matching their Guardian deity when they prayed at the matching stone, getting all twelve netted the Dalamud Horn.

edit: Checking my "Sixth Astral Era" Timeline, it was Specifically the "Living on a Prayer" quest
