Is it worth it to switch grand companies?

[sciondar]

I recently unlocked the ability to switch grand companies and am curious if there is any real benefit to switching?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.

Achievements and the GC hunting log pet

Unless you want something specifically for vanity reasons, there isn't much reason to switch. You can't use any of your old GC gear and you have to start the new GC missions from the beginning. You have to be the same GC as a friend if you want to do frontlines with them so that is something to think about.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm obsessed with vanity stuffs, so I went to all 3 GC's to get all 6 minions and all the barding(even though I can only wear my current GC's barding). Other than that, only real reason to switch GC's is to be in the same one as your friends if you all plan to do PvP together in the frontlines.

I switched, and I liked it. Actually I switched and maxxed out every GC. :P But I'm a completionist. haha

Vanity is the major reason. I completed two GCs for the minions but I still need to do Maelstrom; maybe after I become less attached to my beautiful Flame Loincloth...

If you're into Frontlines PvP then its worth it to switch to a winning GC. Otherwise, GC-specific gear for glamour, etc

Switch to the one that has 90 minute wait times? If I cared about frontlines that much I would switch to a losing side to actually get in.

What about the furniture? I just came back from a hiatus and noticed that the GCs now sell furniture. Do the furniture sold all look the same?

I'm planning to buy a housing plot in Gridania but I'm currently in Immortal Flames...
