Strider Boots and Hermes' Shoes

[Tint]

That topic about mounts in cities and a toggle for sprint got me thinking.

We already have the option to increase the duration of Sprint in city-states: Wearing the Strider Boots or Hermes' Shoes.

But they only increase the duration of Sprint by 10 seconds.

Back when Sprint only had a 30 second cooldown you had an 100% uptime on Sprint when you were wearing the Hermes' Shoes.

Can we have that back?

Please increase the duration of Sprint to 60 seconds when you are wearing the Strider Boots or Hermes' Shoes in city-states.

Also please add the Strider Boots to the next Moogle Treasure Trove to make them widely available.

hermes shoes won't be readded. it was a 1.0 item and people were already up in arms with the earrings that yoshi p added to the first anniversary event. as for the strider boots. its anemos. so unless you want him to pull it out of there and just make it buyable in any city state then people will have to do anemos to farm them. then they would have to change them from untradeable so they could be sold on mb for anyone to acquire.

I don't understand why you think any of that matters. Tint specified Moogle Treasure Trove, which by its nature doesn't care where any of its rewards came from and allows you to get whatever is on its list by spamming completely unrelated content for mogtomes, and doesn't change any of its rewards to be tradable if they were not already.

Or just make run toggle permanently in towns.

Make people do eureka for them, it’s not like the game has any better content.

Hermes' Shoes were, specifically, if you held a FFXI sub at the same time after 1.0 released. I have them.

Strider Shoes, yes, come from Eureka, but we've already had items from there come into the moogle tome event. Untradeables are also present in the moogle tome events in the way of mount whistles and TT cards, so it wouldn't matter if they kept that status. They're not as frustrating to get as, say, the Cassie earring or the Cassie minion, but adding them in to the rewards wouldn't be a bad thing since Eureka on some DCs is not as active as Crystal or whatever. It's not unreasonable to ask for just the Strider Boots in this case.

probably easier to add the effect to the sprint we got now but only activates while in a city.

Then SE ripped me off, I had a sub here since beta for 1.0 and never got the Hermes' Shoes.

I never asked to readd Hermes' Shoes to the game or to pull Strider Boots out of Anemos and make them tradeable. Just that they buff them and make the Strider Boots available with the Moogle Tomes so more people can benefit from the then buffed effect. But of course Moogle Treasure Trove is only a temporary event, people who missed that would still have to do Anemos to get the boots.

Yess, but meanwhile they can tweak the numbers on the shoes, way easier than adding a new system to the game. We didn't even got PvP Sprint on our island, but some duty action instead.

We could have that with 6.38 and make the Strider Boots available with the Moogle Treasure Trove before 6.4. Well, theoretically, I know the devs will not read this.

I'm pretty sure the drop rate on those changed to be much higher. I ran a ton of Eureka back when it came out. I think out of my FC, only a small handful of us ever got the drop back in SB. A bunch of us jumped back for "fun" - killed Simurgh twice - dropped to the whole group. Twice. Of course, this could be just insane luck... but going from dozens of kills in 4.X with a few drops among like 20+ people to an entire party getting 16 pairs in two kills?

I don't know some other Eureka items have higher drop rates as well. Maybe?

As for sprint... there aren't many places you need to go to in town that takes more than 20s from aetheryte to NPC/location. Frankly, I think Strider boots are a waste. We don't have a macro to /equip feet "Strider Boots" to put them on ANY job. We have to make a gearset to put them on - meaning, I'd have to switch jobs to utilize them. If there is a way to /equip feet, please correct me.
