    Announcing the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Gear Design Contest! (08/10/2012)



    With the Seventh Umbral Era fast approaching, adventurers of Eorzea will need to be well-prepared if they hope to endure the coming crisis. Unprecedented dangers demand items of unimaginable power--unimaginable by us alone, that is. However, with the combined creativity of our community, we hope to create an epic ring to aid adventurers as they struggle to survive and forge new legends in a realm reborn.

    Are you a frustrated goldsmith with aspirations of fame? Or are you merely a marauder who enjoys collecting shiny trinkets? Regardless of your background, we challenge adventurers to design a ring of exquisite, alluring beauty imbued with potent, esoteric enchantments.

    The development and operations teams will select ten finalists, and the community itself will vote on and select the three rings that will appear in-game! How to Enter

    The top 10 finalists are in for players to vote on~ https://support.na.square-enix.com/f...&la=1&fo=90026

    Pretty impressive work... kinda' glad I didn't end up submitting because I would have been embarrassed. The stats aren't revealed though (aside from one who put the info on the image). My vote is for the last one... although 9 is nice too.

    Can someone explain #8 to me? :/ I just don't seem to get it... is it a staircase?

    Was really impressed by the finalists though.

    That one makes the least sense. I don't understand it either.

    It's so hard not to vote for the Spriggan ring...

    Rajas ring was just a coil http://static.ffxiah.com/images/icon/15543.png

    Does it actually matter if a virtual ring looks like a real ring elsewhere? I could see it being a problem if it ever became a real ring, but I don't know where the legality goes if it's just virtual.

    It is a ripoff, often referred to as "past, present, and future."
