Just a quick question

[Grimm0ne]

New to this, but been playing for awhile etc..

I pass people all the time and take a look at what level they are etc, and noticed today that I've seen a few with the armor names rotating, it may look like one, but then flips (the name) to another..

How can I do this? it was on a lvl 30 char, was wearing the one vest that I liked for my char but also wearing a higher rated armor but showing the other... sorry if I confuse, I'm confused my self...

loving it so far, need to get some more xp 180k a level is nuts hehe,
also found out I need to learn a few trade skills (craft/leather etc) but not sure what to start with.. any tips would be great...

and whats the name of the shiny white bow that glows? Id like to get my hands on one

If there was a '+' next to their names, that is a glamour. You can buy them from the marketboards or produce them on your own if you have the appropriate Lv.50 crafter and recipe.

For now, I would suggest you use the marketboard and look for 'grade 1/2/3/4/5 glamour prism'.

As an archer, you will benefit the most from carpenter (weapon) and leatherworker (armor). Goldsmith is also a useful crafter as it will let you update your accessories, which are rarer to obtain from quests. If you spend any amount of time crafting though, you will quickly learn that they benefit immensely from cross-class skills. Optimal crafting comes when you have all crafting classes leveled to at least 15 or higher. Lv.50 crafting beyond 2 stars benefits immensely from having all crafters at Lv.50.

As for the bow, you are probably referring to your relic, Artemis Zenith. You'll receive one shortly after killing Ifrit HM, Garuda HM, and Titan HM. Be sure to start the quest for it before you do. Google 'relic' for more info.

Incidentally, in order to unlock the ability to cast glamours on equipment you need to complete a quest from Mor Dhona which is only available at level 50 sadly: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/A_Self-improving_Man

However, once you've gained this ability you can use it at any level, even level 1 - you just require a class or Job at 50 in order to unlock it.

Thanks!! I knew I wasn't seeing things lol... Im 37 almost 38... so i'll work till that can be done... I did get a bow going after Titan or was it the dragon? one or the other, I did get a nice bow, but will continue to adventure on. As for the crafting after reading a bit, those are the two I'm going to go with. Thanks again!!

I have a quick question myself. Is it possible to rename your toon?

I have a mage that I want to become my main, but I dont like the name I gave it.

They have not implemented a rename service yet.

You can however circumvent the problem by transferring your character across servers. If that server already has a character with the same name, you will be given the option to change your name. Keep in mind, you will be locked out of your old server for one month before being able to transfer back. You will also have to pay the transfer costs twice if you wish to return to your old server. It's also noteworthy that renaming your character in this way lets you circumvent the name filters normally in place. I'm not sure if they fixed that or will contact you about inappropriate names later though, so take that note with some caution.

Im not sure how my toons name is inappropriate :O, Pantera means Panther. Lightpaw was the also the last name of that cat who dance-fighted against Puss-In-Boots. Im just hoping to name it Adventure Cat, none the less. Hopefully down the road they will offer the choice.

You misunderstood me. I meant if you changed it to anything inappropriate in the future (I can't guess what you'd rename yourself). I've known one individual named 'domestic violence' (or some variation thereof), which is a name normally blocked but you can obtain with the rename method. He actually explained that trick to me not long ago.

Given your current level, it would be far easier to just start a new character. You can make all the same progress by the time the weekend is over, without having to pay $30 and without having to wait a month.

aaaaaand I think miqote females are taking over the world o.O

First post by a minority! XD

I had thought of restarting, but it took me a couple of weeks to get this far with her. I play a few games.
