    Those 2 Peddler Questions.

    When you begin the game with a new character, you have to answer two questions for the chatty peddler. The first one is your motivation, which I know decides which type of ring it is he gives you.

    What about the second question? I couldn't tell any difference between saying I'm new to the city or I'd been there before.

    None really, it's just lore padding and alters what he says next slightly (if you say that's your first time in that city he says something along the lines of "Oh, let me fill you in on everything there is to know about our destination", but if you say you've been there before (which is what I chose as it's truthful: I'm a version 1.0 player that started in Gridania so I indeed had been to Gridania before), he just says "Oh, allow me to fill you in on what has changed since your last visit", and mentions about the changes wrought by the Calamity).

    Other than that, the dialogue is pretty much the same (he explains a little about the city and it's surrounding area and the problems facing it, namely beastmen) and is just more for personal roleplaying reasons than any deeper connection to gameplay. So don't worry that you might have chosen "the wrong thing" or something.

    Gracias! I enjoy "fluff" so I wanted to make certain. I do sort of wish I'd said I'm after fortune in stead of glory, though.

    There is another option which I missed seeing on my main and noticed on my alt. Its a ....
    so the peddler says he understands how you'd like your privacy on the matter, but he still gives you a ring.

    Yes, there's four possible rings you can get.

    To gain power.
    Ring of Fortitude
    Critical Hit Rating +1

    To win glory.
    Ring of Fidelity
    Vitality +1

    To amass a fortune.
    Ring of Fortune
    CP (crafting points) +8

    ...
    Ring of Freedom
    Determination +1


    If you're interested in crafting, the Ring of Fortune is the best (actually the only) crafting ring for the first 17 levels. The next ring available won't come until level 18 when you can get a Brass Ring of Crafting, which boosts CP by 9 or 10 points rather than 8.

    Any of the other rings are useful for combat classes, but only for the first 8 levels. By level 9, Disciples of War are better off with a Copper Ring which boosts Strength and Dexterity, while Disciples of Magic are better off with a Bone Ring which boosts Intelligence and Mind.

    The difference in how long they remain useful makes the Ring of Fortune a clear winner for anyone who plans on getting into the crafting part of the game as well as combat. But it's useless if you aren't into crafting. The others aren't useful for as long, but everybody follows at least a few of the combat classes.
