[dev1137] Caravan Security

[Avraym]

Only those who have pledged their full allegiance to a Grand Company can undertake caravan security. To do so, simply speak to the NPC representing your organization stationed at the following aetheryte camps:

MY biggest concern is will it be doable with players from other companies. Finding people to do the escort with that have sworn allegiance with the same company as you would be annoying. Especially since it doesn't look soloable.

You can help people that have other allegiance (stated somewhere), companies doesnt fight against each other, they fight with each other, and it will work the same just as current guildleves. People have been spreading out among all other cities for leves and so far there is no issue in getting people to do leves with me in all cities because party rank range doesn't really matter that much anymore.

Where was this confirmed? I haven't heard about it. It sounds like there are 3 different caravan escorts. Bloodshore, Tranquil & Horizon. Why would someone who has Immortal Flames (Horizon) help me do my Maelstrom (Bloodshore)

somewhere in devs post.

Chances are you won't run into someone that wants to do Horizon at Limsa Lominsa, same as how you won't run into someone that wants to do Ul'Dah leves in Gridania, but if you have friends in LS that wants to help, i don't see how is that stopping them, kinda like people that doesn't have leves but wanna join in a leves run.

It says foreign company recruits can't help you.

Well, maybe they can coax chocobos back and feed them, but they probably won't be able to attack anything, unless they are allowed to.

Although, technically ... it doesn't actually SAY that foreign company recruits can't help. It just says they need to have sworn allegiance to A company and that they need to accept duty from their relevant camp... so maybe they can help after all, provided they can accept the duty at the camp (but they might not be able to).

It says other people can't help you.

I think it means outside of your party/caravan escort group. I.E. random player running by.

Yeah, that's true, but players have to accept the duty from the camp, and the NPC may not allow players to accept the task if they have not sworn fealty to THAT specific company.

But perhaps. It kind of implies that you won't be able to, but it doesn't specifically state it.

I'm pretty sure that we can sign up for quests for other Companies, we just need to have a sworn allegiance to 1 Company.
Kinda like in FFXI, your allegiance was to 1 city but you could do the quests from any city (just not the City Missions).

I imagine each Grand Company will have Company-specific Mission-quests but the "side-quests" will likely be available to anyone. Even with Toto-Rok, I can sign up in Gridania but do the dungeon with Uldah and Limsa peeps who signed up from their Company/city.

I am also guessing that quests like this will assuage fears about selecting 1 Company for allegiance...if we can do other Companies quests and still earn Seals for that company despite our allegiance to another. I hope it works that way anyway.

I'm afraid you have to be same allegiance or maybe I'm just reading the following wrong.

speak to the NPC representing your organization stationed at the following aetheryte camps:

The Maelstrom: Camp Bloodshore
The Order of the Twin Adder: Camp Tranquil
The Immortal Flames: Camp Horizon
