Thank god...

I have about 50 items in my delivery box i keep sending to myself due to lack of space on myself and mules.
This "locker" was added because it was impossable to make anymore gob bag or mog safe expansion quest due to memory requirements.
Unfortunatly, this locker has a limit to the number of items, and needs to be upgraded (most likley a quest) but, an extra 30-50 places to put excess junk really helps.

Is this the first confirmation we've gotten that the new areas will have Rent-a-rooms? Aren't these the first places outside of the 4 main towns to have these? (I'm a lowbie, so pardon me if other high level areas already have rent-a-rooms.)

If you mean places like Jeuno, San d'Oria, Windurst, and Bastok to have Rent a Room then yes they have it and those rent a rooms are for anyone of any level.

lol i think what he means in other areas. he said places outside towns (cities) so yes, this will be the 1st time you will get a rent-a-room outside of cities (but i think there will be another city or town in the new expansion and there will be the rent-a-room and not inthe areas) but i think a SE should put a moogle in Selbina (like Kazaam [forgot how to write it]) because there are a lot of deads and <Everyone> hates <Valkrum Dunes> >.>

Latest development info:

Appraisers(04/10/2006)

Some people in Vana'diel make their living as appraisers, helping merchants and mercenaries determine the type of items they have picked up during their travels in Aht Urhgan. The Near East's powerful ocean winds, rust, or even mere age can make an item unrecognizable to the amateur eye. The finder may even simply lack the knowledge to make an accurate judgment and find himself unsure of how to use the newly discovered good. In such cases, appraisers use their experience and keen senses to ascertain what the item really is. Qiqirn can use their keen noses to sniff out information about an item, and many make excellent appraisers. The only drawback to using a Qiqirn appraiser is that they might be a little difficult to understand due to their odd accents...

Does the idea of finding a mysterious item on your adventures sound exciting?

For example, let’s say you find a “??? sword.”

It may look just like an ordinary sword, but it could turn out to be an incredibly powerful relic. On the other hand, what looks to be a keen blade to the untrained eye may end up disappointing its finder. So what is the sword’s true identity? Could it be a legendary item? There is only one way to find out--by visiting an appraiser in town. The development team has decided to implement this feature in order to add an increased element of anticipation to adventuring in Aht Urhgan.

The mysterious items do not stop at swords. There are “??? gloves,” “??? rings,” and many other varieties. However, you will be unable to equip these items after finding them.

That is where the appraisers come in. By getting your mysterious items appraised, you will learn their true identities, and they will henceforth become usable. This service will require a payment in gil, but will not be very expensive.

If you get an item appraised while in a party, the appraised item will be added to the treasure pool. This is so that the treasure can be distributed among party members, even it is an Ex item. If you are playing solo, the appraised item will be added directly to your inventory. If you do not have enough inventory space, you may be unable to receive the appraised item, so be sure to clear out your bag beforehand.

So if you find an unknown item while adventuring in a party, you can travel to town and have the item appraised together before disbanding. Perhaps the item you have been holding will turn out to be a fantastic find, and then you can all celebrate together!

Appraisers and mysterious items will be available with the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc!

The only thing I really hate about Valkurm Dunes is that it can be an adventure just getting there with no outpost warp or anything. And if the job I'm currently on isn't wanted, I've got to go all the way back to a city to change my job, change my gear, and go back to Valk

Why go back and change with the fishing guild in town? I very often make my way to Selbina and happily make gil and raise my fishing skill while waiting for an invite. It's not as if you're specifically going to the dunes to gather items or crystals, are you? So the extra gear isn't a problem to carry on you. I also do weaving but I have never used the guild in Slebina, so I don't know if it's worthwhile to carry the Earth crystals down there and fabricate items while you're waiting.

I think people who concentrate soley on seeing how fast they can rise through level after level is this or that job are missing out on a lot of the really enjoyable aspects of the game.
