Introducing_the_Add-on_Trilogy_Bonus_Gift%21_%2811-02-2009%29-1.jpg


To commemorate the release of the third and final add-on scenario, we are proud to introduce the "Nexus Cape," an in-game bonus item for players who have purchased the entire trilogy. All characters under a single player account registered for all three add-ons will be eligible for this gift.
Owners of the FINAL FANTASY XI ULTIMATE COLLECTION, scheduled for release on November 10, can also shout with glee, as the gift will be available to them also.

Following the release of the next version update, eligible characters may collect their Nexus Cape from the treasure coffer located within the Tenshodo Headquarters in Lower Jeuno.

The Nexus Cape is an enchanted item that allows characters in a party to teleport to their party leader's location. Please note, however, that the enchantment's effectiveness is limited to certain destinations only. Provided that all requisite conditions are fulfilled, characters may teleport to the areas listed below:

(signet areas listed here, no sky/sea)

The enchantment effect will differ slightly depending upon the party leader's current location: field areas or towns. For field areas, users will be sent directly to where their party leader stands, while for towns, they will be teleported to where a home point may be set.
Bring a Nexus Cape with you on your adventures, and you need not fear being left behind by your comrades ever again!

* The teleportation will be rendered ineffective if the party leader changes areas in the middle of casting. It is recommended that party members communicate their intent to teleport beforehand.
* Characters may teleport only to areas they have previously visited.
* Teleporting to areas introduced in expansions is possible only after installation and code registration have been completed for the expansion pack in question. This does not, however, affect one's eligibility to obtain the Nexus Cape.




I foresee this being useful for kings camping....

I'd forsee it being considerably more useful if you could form parties from further away. As it is... handy, but meh. Shave a few minutes off your time to get to camp, which is nice enough I guess, but not as awesome as it would be to simply invite someone in Whitegate and have them warp immediately to, say, Dragon's Aery.
 
That's pretty cool. Now I have to get the moogle one and the new one soon ~_~.
 
Looks pretty nice for low-level parties.
 
Awesome item. Very, very awesome. Damn. Wish I had $35 to reactivate and buy MKD and ASA :(
 
Probably going to be used mostly for Kings and King Artho just to eliminate running around and shit
 
That's going to be VERY useful for things like ixion and sandworm. And soon as they see it. Give them leader and use the cape.

Going off the list of zones SE posted, you can't use it to teleport to a zone in the past. Since it's not in the op, here's a copy/paste of the list:

Uleguerand Range / Attohwa Chasm / West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Valkurm Dunes / Jugner Forest / Batallia Downs / North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / Beaucedine Glacier / Xarcabard / Cape Teriggan / Eastern Altepa Desert / West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Buburimu Peninsula / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromugue Champaign / Yuhtunga Jungle / Yhoator Jungle / Western Altepa Desert / Qufim Island / Behemoth's Dominion / Valley of Sorrows / Southern San d'Oria / Northern San d'Oria / Port San d'Oria / Bastok Mines / Bastok Markets / Port Bastok / Windurst Waters / Windurst Walls / Port Windurst / Windurst Woods / Ru'Lude Gardens / Upper Jeuno / Lower Jeuno / Port Jeuno / Rabao / Selbina / Mhaura / Kazham / Norg

Some utility for Tiamat, ENMs (one person who doesn't suck makes the climb, everybody warps to them), and stuff like that.
 
Man, that cape would save a lot of time for getting the Ice in U range.

I didn't think about that lol. This and climbing the mountain for Sheeps.

*starts making plans with my ENM buddy*
 
Climbing paradamo isn't too tough once you have it memorized. I'm more interested in regain feathers!

Yeah I know. I do it every 5 days but it'd save time. And couldn't you do both at once? Kill 2 birds with one stone?

This is perfect! I can climb before you get online and just warp you up as soon as you zone in.

Epic time saver. Also be nice for the Brothers ENM in case one of us didn't make it LOL.

I was thinking if John didn't care for us to make 2 mules on him and put them at the top of the mountains.

Yeh but then he has to pay extra, I don't mind doing the run up it's more the wait for you to get online and this would cut some epic time.

Right, pick up a stone first instead of using it at the zone.

For Brothers, my friend and I thought about taking turns climbing, he'd go as Blm/Whm so he could raise me. On runs where it's my turn to tractor him, he could go as Blm/Rdm.
 
Screw using it to get ice, use it to get past that damned ice wall since someone always takes to long and ice weather goes back up.

That doesn't take as long as the climb for us lol. First time we waited like 10 minutes. Second we got there with no ice weather.
 
So since I was out of the loop when is all this shit going live? I think I remember seeing early Nov.
