I thought I heard about a bug where you could get supplies from a nation, switch to another nation, and then turn in the supplies under the new nation and get that OP. It was some time ago, but still.

If it does work and you switch from any nation to Sandy or Windy, that would be very helpful for the other nation (switch to sandy have windy, switch to windy have sandy), switch to bastok you have to hope the one you didn't get gets taken over. But, gusta is fairly useless for an OP, since it's so far from the city.


I personally have every OP except for sky (which I don't have access to) and Tavnazia (which I'm not far enough in CoP to get), and I'm not even close to willing to give that up yet. I'd have to be rank 10 in windy for a long time and want to experience the other ones.

There is Outpost Teleport to Tu'Lia? o_O?

That depends. If the WHMs are already there while you're elsewhere, it'd be impolite to demand someone HP just to get you free transportation. (Plus, not everyone set home point at the same place; seems like it's nearly split 50/50 between Whitegate and home nations for my Dynamis LS.)

Well, not an op, but close -- I'm referring to the Hall of Transference, which for some reason I've always associated with OPs.

It's somewhat better now given the shining light/lycoportal up the cliff. In fact, the most significant use I can see for that particular one is for a San d'Orian or Windurstian with the Gustaberg OP who wants to get to Palborough or Movalpolos. Anyone coming from Bastok or Dem would be able to get there faster either by chocobo (long way around, but faster movement) or Port Bastok's exit.

Actually, we've found the Chocobo Circuit to be quite handy for this. We still get odd reactions from strangers we suggest it to, but a number of people scattered among Bastok, San d'Oria, Windurst, Jeuno, and Whitegate can easily gather together there and teleport.

What is this shortcut to Sky and how do I get it? I always use the Zi' Tah OP.

You need to be past or at least on PM 8-3 to do it. It requires you to have the title "Warrior of the Crystal" which is only available from that mission.

Once you have the title, go to sky and step into one of the green pads at G-9 or I-9 in RuAnn Gardens. You should see some text that says you're registered.

Then go to a Hall of Transference at one of the 3 main crags. Trade a Clear Chip to the Large Apparatus on the right. After that, you should be able to step on the pad at any of the halls to teleport to sky. If the chip breaks, then you'll have to place another before you can go again.

Two days ago I was going to sky and thought to myself "I wonder when this chip is going to shatter??" and then it shattered. Now I need to sell something or go farm to get gilz for another dang chip. I wish they would have a set amount of uses for the chip. Then each time you use it some notice would pop up in chat saying "You have 7 warps left." I hate being without it but I rarely have more than 5k on my person at a time.

As far as outposts go, I didn't use them at all until less than a year ago. Now I can't live without them and won't change nations because then I won't have them. LOL If I ever get out from under this load of stress I carry irl then maybe I'll devote some heavy time back to FFXI and do it.

It appears that SE finally listened

per a recent BG interview...

In response to the request, the following adjustments will be made:

* When a player changes nationality, access to previous outposts will be saved.
* In a new nation, a player will have to start out from scratch. However, previous records are retrieved upon return to the nation of origin and the player can then re-access saved outposts.

I don't suppose you could post that whole interview in another thread, could you?

I can't get to BG at work and I am bored.
