Patriot's Braclet No longer avaliable at Grid vendor?

[Bert]

Is this a bug or was the item purposely removed but not mentioned in the patch notes??

Are you referring to the Qiqirn vendor or the Grand Company vendor?

If you're referring to the Grand Company vendor, it's not available (and hasn't been for quite some time now -- where have you been?) because it was a limited time only item, available during the Company Festivities earlier in the year.

If you're referring to the black market Qiqirn vendor... it should be available. I saw it a few days ago.

Actually only the patriot's Choker was marked as follows, * Available only during Foundation Day celebrations. (See http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...tch-1.19-Notes) When looking at the Patriot's Bracelet there was no such tag marked on the item. (seen here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...tch-1.20-Notes) which causes me to think it was removed in error or overlooked.

Therefore I think the item should be put back in and a grace period given to buy the item. Possibly just between hot fix patches.. (ex 1.21a till 1.21b.)

I do have the choker already, this is the bracelet we are talking about which had no tags to be removed due to an event.

Ah, I see. My apologies, I misread that as choker. The bracelet is only available for purchase if you're high enough rank in the Grand Company. You can't view some items if they're too high above your rank. I don't remember what rank you need to be in order to see or purchase it.

What Grand Company rank are you?

[Bert]

It's for private third class people hah aha (the lowest rank). Luckily the Qiqirn does have the bracelets for sale!! so I guess problem solved, must have been an overlooked thing when not tagging it for removal from the GC vendor.

[Bert]

OK, so i finally did the top ranked mission for my GC, and guess what, this trip's me out.... The Bracelet is for sale from the vendor now... This is really weird and it's only 1000 seals not 2000 like i spent at the qiqirn guy >.>

Went back to the original 1.20 post and it does say Sergeant not private third class to obtain the bracelet which explains everything.
