I never knew what those GREEN porters in Sky do... do you? - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Ok... I have been wondering this for MONTHS now, and for some reason or another I HAD ALWAYS forgottne to sak you guys. In sky, near the zone that lead to water camp (to the right) and to kirin (to the left) both next to the main Shrine entnrace, there are 2 green porters unlike the regular, porters we see. In sky we have the traditional "pink" porters, the blue porters which take us around sky, the red porters for the Ark angels, and the yellow porters that takes us to the gods and they all look very similar. BUT.... there are these 2 green porters than when you stand on them they make a very different animation than the rest of the porters. Does anyone have a clue what they are for.

I dont think they are just there as screenery, or just cuse they loook nice, they seem to be working.

Please develop,
Thanks,
DH

if it sounds like what I think it does. With the new big area they could be adding, there might be two more. Get a party to stand on each one of these, they go to a completely new area that no one knew about, it wasnt even on the server cause it's got its own. (ya, this is just a random thought and completely fake ;P)

But have you seen those portals? Do you know of whta i am talking about?

silentsteel · 02-08-2006, 12:28 PM

nope, sadly I'm still rnk 5 & on the promys =/

Darkhound · 02-08-2006, 12:41 PM

Bah heheh too bad... you dont need the promys for this but thanks anyway!

silentsteel · 02-08-2006, 12:43 PM

its not that I dont want to do them though, cause I really do! Its just getting the right people to do it. After being at least 0/7 on mea & 0/3 on holla, I'm setting up a 6 smn for it. ~_~

Edit: oh, & I thought you were talking about it being in Sea too, so that prolly confused me.

Darkhound · 02-09-2006, 12:48 PM

Does anyone know what these are for?

Balfree · 02-10-2006, 07:04 AM

Ive wondered the same, they shift shape when you move close

Oddly enough, my sam friend moved in and it didnt change shape.. but with me it did... ._.

I'd like to know wth it is ok thx

I made a thread about this a long time ago. So far, they have no use at all. People thought SE might do with CoP, but no.

Maybe they'll do something with the new expansion.

Darkhound · 02-14-2006, 07:09 AM

Yah but it is strnage that they have been there for sooooooooooooooo long, and nobody has seem to know what they do. And yes... they change shap when you sand on this. I am very very curious about this.1

eriiko · 02-20-2006, 01:33 AM

They don't do anything at all besides look funny & make you think.

Darkhound · 03-06-2006, 11:59 AM

What if.... once ToA is realeased they are used to direct teleportatio to Sky?

Balfree · 03-07-2006, 04:57 AM

Well, they dont bother me, and when exping there i like to stand on em and cast my shits

anyway, they may have a plan for them later on..

Rurouni · 03-08-2006, 07:46 PM

I'm sure they'll be involved in the ToA expansion...as to what they'll do, exactly...that's anybody's guess.

You also said it only changed with you and not your SAM friend (When standing on it) Do you know of anything different between the both of you? Like getting all avatars or having completed certain rank missions or quests...?
