What stuff was exclusive to 1.0?

[Kaliesto]

I know some legacy players here have exclusive mounts, but what were other things that are kind of floating about that still exist?

Also what stuff no longer exists from 1.0?

There is a whole chunk of random legacy items of no apparent worth hanging around

The goggles in my pic are a legacy version of the iron goggles that exist currently in ARR

No functional difference other than an icon in the inventory box

There were hamlet defenses that involved all the roles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkbm3VrAnKA

Adding to that there was also Chocobo Escort, which kind of still exists in some ARR escort fates.

What is also no longer optainable are a bunch of old titles, like the "Inquisitor" title from Hamlet Defence.

The Chocobo escort missions were the original way to get the Chocobo Mask too. Level 35 with good stats for the level (Ignoring magey defence stats), used by all classes. It's basically the same exact item for the Racing Chocobo Mask, minus the stats. Achievement based item as well.




Also I know the reason all materia turned into 'cracked materia' because they changed how it all worked. There used to be like 3-5 versions of each rank materia, and each one could only be equipped in certain slots and had to do with all sorts of micromanaging stats.

(Thank god they didn't bring back the 'if you fail to meld a materia, the item and materia are gone for good stuff they originally had it)


Oh, and also the 1h weapons + shields for Cnj/Thm/Whm/Blm are also technically leftover from 1.0, but they abandoned those after the Levi EX weapons, never to go back to a wand and shield for the classes (Wish they would since we have invisible pld shields now and they could just do something like that for Cnj/Thm/Whm/Blm so the FFXIII weapons wouldn't be USELESS outside of glamouring and Bozja). It's why they won't touch the lower level items for said classes.

I completely forgot about that, despite looking for where you could get the mask earlier this year and being disappointed that I would have to do chocobo breeding instead.
Turns out getting a pedigree 9 chocobo was actually pretty fun, oddly enough one of the most in-depth systems this game has.

Originally you had to wait 6 hours for them to breed once. Doing it when it was brand new content it took 1/4 of a day just to get the result from one attempt. It was brutal. Thankfully they changed it.

can't really do a proper temple knights cosplay since the specific gloves they use are a 1.0 legacy item.

Hermes Shoes


Dalamud Horn




Dated gear (it's just ugly old gear with less job restrictions)


There's some neat titles from 1.0 achievements too


Also there's a bunch of junk items from 1.0 that are still around, just miscellaneous things that serve no purpose anymore but people were allowed to hold onto them if they wanted and leave them on a retainer forever and maybe sometimes link them in shout chat as a goof.

Legacy mark

How does the legacy mark work? Like is it still around today, and chars from then have it? Or is it just something scrapped entirely?
