I don't get what's up with these Mog Pells. Two of my characters that I've checked thusfar has gotten them, but on my family member's account, one of her mules got it... but the rest of her characters haven't yet.

A bit confusing I agree
3 characters on my main account have received the red via in game mail (thankfully my main was one of them) O.o
the other 7 or so mules never received any red pell but all characters received the green.

Another odd thing , I needed to relink a couple content ids to a handle before I could fully log in...those needing relinks have been created for months now and I have been playing regularly so why all of a sudden today 2 were unlinked?...I have no idea

My alt account only has 2 characters a 99 bst and a lv 1 mule, the lv 1 mule received the red pell + green and my "main" on that account didn't receive either the red nor the green. Very unorganized se.

My hubbys account, his main received the red + green, and 1 mule also received the red...the other 6 mules received green only

All his characters and mine as well, have been in existence ranging anywhere from 10 yrs to 3+ months so I have no clue why only some characters received the items.
Also we made a point to log in with every character at least once through the time frame of this event just to be sure...

Hopefully they can fix this soon so every character receives the items ;)

Mine finally showed up...

What's with it giving 6 wings when the official website says 8?

I'm not sure what to get on mule characters either. So many different stones, and I don't know what any of them are good for...

The JP page said only 6 and you can send the armor from mules on the same account, they just need adoulin access. ( I wish I knew this beforehand, I would've create more mules..)

Yay that's what I thought... I thought I remembered the skirmish gear itself being sendable to mules. Gonna have to unlock adoulin for my mules, getting a couple free pieces of 119 gear is totally worth it.

I have an insane idea, and I'm wondering if it will work. I was planning on waiting until I finish accumulating login points and redeeming everything at once so I have a few days to scheme.

I know the wings are not sendable, and I have several storage characters on main account and a small assortment of armor and weapons already. What I want to do is find a way to creatively use my storage mules to obtain some of the missing pieces and maybe even upgrade a few pieces to +1. It looks like the NQ and +1 versions of the armors are POL sendable.

The idea is:
Mule 1 obtains 6 Lebondopt Wings. Uses all 6 to buy armor. Mule 1 then sends the most important piece to Mule B.
Mule B obtains 6 Pulchridopt Wing, trades them all in for a Vial of Transmelange and upgrades the one piece of armor. Mule B sends the +1 to main.
Mule III and up repeat the process until used up all red mog pells.

Does this seem like it will work, or is skirmish access tied to mission progress or have a minimum level requirement? All storage mules have been to Adoulin already, and Oston and Lola at least speak to my mule so things look like they could work.

As long as you don't augment them, can send them by delivery box if I remember right ;)

It works! I was able to transfer both NQ and +1 across chars on the same account.

This is delicious. Any tips about which geomantic fount is easiest for a level 1 char to get to?

I would presume the one that teaches Poison in E.Ron by one of those waterfalls. Biggest risk might be a gob fisher or stray orc along the way.

Ah only a certain few (which you can't warp to) count

Speak with Darcia in Lower Jeuno (H-7) and apply for an KeyItemAdoulinian charter permit to receive a KeyItemGeomagnetron.
Check a Geomagnetic Fount at ONE of the following locations:
Yughott Grotto (J-7) on Map 1.
King Ranperre's Tomb (K-6), SE Corner (easily accessed by taking the Jugner Forest waypoint)
Monastic Cavern (G-10), on the border of H-10. Enter Monastic Cavern from Davoi entrance at H-11.
Eldieme Necropolis (J-10), lower floor under drop C on Map 1. Spriggans and Haunts will swarm you without Sneak.
Ordelle's Caves (F-12), hidden Strange Apparatus area Map 1.
Gusgen Mines (F-7/G-7), with the Pugils on Map 3
Dangruf Wadi (E-11), tunnel beneath the Strange Apparatus.
Korroloka Tunnel (G-9) Lower Map, Right next to the Jammer Leeches' spawn area.
Palborough Mines (J-8), on map 2.
Gustav Tunnel (G-10), little pond with Makara; first map.
Labyrinth of Onzozo (J-5), near Katana trial WS ???
Maze of Shakhrami (K-9) on Map 1.
Garlaige Citadel G-8 on Map 2, in one of the rooms behind Banishing Gate #1.
Crawlers' Nest (F-7) on Map 1.
Outer Horutoto Ruins at the southwestern chamber at G-7 in Lilac Tower, accessed via East Sarutabaruta at H-3.
Inner Horutoto Ruins at the corners of G-7/H-8 in Beetle's Burrow.
Toraimarai Canal (I-6) Map 1, water level.
Ranguemont Pass (I-10), in the pool on the east side of the cave

I'd say the one in Maze of Shakrami is probably your best bet; only one or two rooms need Invisible, the rest is all Sneak and if you know your way there, you would only need 2 Sneak Oils, plus the room that the thing is in has nothing aggressive.

Also getting TO the Maze isn't that hard, staying along the wall all the way up avoids 99% of all aggressive mobs, unless it is night then you might need to worry about the ghosts right next to the entrance.

Outer Horutoto Ruins has been my go-to one. Pretty easy to get to the tower even without invisible (though given the choice, I'll usually be lazy about it), then one sneak to get past the cardians. (Which you can get from the book, if you've done even one FoV regime.)

I gotta say though, I've gotten damn tired of the big cutscene you get hit with the first time you go to Adoulin...

Which tower etc is it? My big issue is I get lost easily so... yeah it usually takes me a million years to find these sort of things. On my main I tried to do the maze of shakrami one and I got lost instead... so I don't think I wanna do that one...

Context eluded me. For some reason I wasn't thinking about the Adoulin access quest. x.x

On a different topic... I'd like them to show some appreciation for this adventurer by not just cancelling her payment method with zero notice... can't pay with paypal at all anymore.

Quote:
This is a notice to all customers who use PlaySpan as a method of payment to purchase Crysta.

As you already may be aware, PlaySpan retired the Ultimate Game Card and UltimatePoints at the end of September 2014. This means it is no longer possible to purchase Crysta using these 2 options.

The last day to redeem retail Ultimate Game Card codes was September 29, 2014 but UltimatePoints can be redeemed up until October 31, 2014. For additional information regarding the retirement of these options and using your remaining UltimatePoints, please visit the appropriate link below.

Ultimate Game Card: http://www.ultimategamecard.com/
UltimatePoints: http://www.ultimatepay.com/

In light of this news, we have also decided to remove all PlaySpan payment options from the Mog Station and Square Enix Account Management System with immediate effect. We'd like to apologise for the sudden removal of these features but would like to reassure all customers that we still offer a varied range of payment options for the purchase of Crysta or subscription payments.

We continue to work with payment providers to increase the number of payment solutions we can offer you. Please keep checking announcements for the latest updates.

Can't nab a pre-paid debit from a Wal-mart or something? Or, heck, just set one up with some local bank?

Those cost a fortune. Not interested in paying 20 dollars for a 15 dollar charge. Not to mention they are incredibly inconvenient (hard to get exact amount from them)

Local banks around here don't really offer those. Paypal works. There was no reason to cancel paypal payment without any notice.

You sure...? Do you live in a really small town?

I have two debit cards that cost me absolutely nothing and I live in a very small town. (Population: 32,000).

My bank doesn't offer one I can access. Stupid, yes, but I am not going to switch banks so I can jump hoops for SE. If they don't fix their payment system, I won't be playing. Frankly, was on the edge because of the failure to upgrade BST so it is a viable job in content that isn't lol tier.

I can't understand why people's response is "JUMP THROUGH A MILLION HOOPS" rather than "gee that sucks, why doesn't SE want your money"

It's ridiculous to cancel a payment method with zero notice... and no, I don't need advice on how to get around it, I could ask my partner to pay with her CC but I have zero interest. If they don't want to make it easy for me to pay, I won't be playing. Problem solved.

Heck, I had even been recommending people get back into the game because SE had made it easier to pay. Look at all the threads with people getting their CCs rejected etc. No thanks. Also, paypal converted US dollars to Canadian so I wasn't paying extra interest (my gf's CC starts charging interest immediately on payments made in US funds, rather than giving the 30 day payment period interest free) so this is also a cost increase.

Mostly though its a matter of principle. You don't just delete a payment method without notice.

Kinda odd your bank does not issue a Credit/Debit Card mix.

Heck, the bank in my rinkydink town (that I live 7 miles away from) that has a population of a whopping two thousand offers these cards (they are called Check Cards).

They can be used for Credit OR Debit, and they come straight out of the bank account with zero interest just like writing a check (which is why it is called a check card).

I understand your frustration and yes, SE shouldn't just cancel a payment method, but what exactly do you want us to do about it?

Please don't take this as being offensive, but us crying tears over your predicament (as legitimate as it is) isn't going to help your case any, nor will it cause SE to change their minds. They obviously did this because they felt they were forced to.

Yes, it sucks SE pulled a payment method. But honestly, we don't know what all went on behind the decision, ranging anywhere from how much it cost to use to the collaboration being a pain in the butt.

Nonetheless, you are allowed to do business at more than one bank. I can get not wanting to leave the one you're at for whatever reason, but at the same time, they should also be bending over backwards to actually get your business. Not having debit cards seems pretty freakin' backwater, but on the user end, debit is also generally safer than credit simply because you can cap off how much you have in the account to prevent excessive charges if your info is stolen somehow. I could further go on about how it's generally safer to have credit or debit on-hand instead of actual cash, but that's not really an applicable scenario in this case.

So, if playing the game really matters that much, quit bellyaching and go get a card. And if they're like a lot of other banks, signing up with a minimum balance (often in the $150-200 range) will actually have them give you money. Otherwise, what're you gonna do if something happens to Paypal?

I appreciate that your tears don't help... but I repeat, I am NOT going to open an account at a second bank so that SE can get my money. That's ridiculous, please stop suggesting it.

Also, you guys live in the states I assume (which is why you keep referring to small town as if that has anything to do with banks? Canada is different, we don't have town banks the way you do), and regardless, many don't have online debit cards. The end.

And even if I did have one, I would not swap to it as I am not going to reward a company for making a boneheaded decision. Same as people who quit when SE insisted on Click and Steal over direct credit billing. They could have signed up for click and steal but they didn't want to.

If it was legitimate for people to quit over that, it's legit for me to say no thanks to SE over this change.
