FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread X: "Social life ends tonight."

[Fanfon]

Anyplace to get a breakdown of players and/or where they're playing from?

[Hellfury]

Multiple retainers:

Anyone figured out precisely how to get multiple, and what the limit is? (game supposed to arrive today, getting impatient)

[Kenichi]

I want to give my friend the Buddy Pass, but where can she download the game?

[miokomioko]

The torrented client that's been floating around since the 21st, the one that most people had installed way before servers were even up. I know it's around somewhere.

[Johndile]

It actually says to use your disks and just input that code for their account.

[Ferr]

is not a big deal for me but seems like I cant log in in the Lodestone site. It says my account is cancelled, although im playing the game...

How does the buddy pass actually work? You can play for 30 days, you get the bonus items from your account and it will start charging for service after the free period. Does that mean that I can share it with someone and he won't have to buy the retail version?

[Ruin]

Sooo, are all the guildleves gonna reset 48hrs from when server first opened? And then at that time every 2 days?

[Hyan]

36h, and its not the same time as servers opened up iirc.

[Sephiroth]

My game is still saying "awaiting dispatch" and the postman has been and gone. I'm really getting sick of this.

[Zubis]

Has anyone seen fatigue yet? Someone said it's hidden (you don't see the skill points anymore) now but I've yet to get it confirmed.

[Ratatapa]

Ok question about HQ

Exemple I wanna make a Maple Wand +1 Do i use same recipe as NQ and wish for HQ? Or do I use the materials +1 like maple branch +1 etc

[Hyan]

I think the quality of the end result determines what chance you will have to make it a HQ.. and the materials being +1 etc. simply allow the initial quality to be higher?

Does anyone know how to make a retainer? Do you just make your 2nd character and it will prompt you to choose retainer? Or is there somewhere in the game where you can get one? Thanks

Pretty sure after the 30 days are up it would prompt the friend to go buy the retail version, the registration code will become invalid after 30 days and they'd need an official registration code from purchasing the game to continue

[Souj]

I know this was just asked not too long ago, but where can I download the version update files from? The official way is fucking garbage.

[Ratatapa]

Last question for you all crafters

Do you actually buy all your materials from NPC?

So if you linked your own buddy pass to your account, used the items and beta name, you could get 2 free months out of your own CE...

With no economy, that or gather 'em yourself?
