To those asking about Grand Company switches, when you switch, you star over
You have to do all the quest dungeons and GC Hunting Logs again
All your old GC company gear becomes useless
Your GC Bardings (if you purchased with seals) are not allowed to be worn (they're greyed out)
You keep your Rank and Seals of previous GC at wherever you left them
There is a grace period of 30 days after switching to switch again
First switch is free, every switch afterwards is 50,000 Gil.
If you are chasing the Achievement awards, get ready to invest a lot of time and gil
It roughly takes 3.5 months to get the first 3 Rewards:
The Shield of said GC *500,000 GC Seals Earned* (You have to spend seals, if you max out, the extra seals you earn don't count)
The Earring (Trade in 500 Supply items (Crafting), can trade in 8 a day (8 Crafts), so doing the math, 30 day * 8 = 240/month, so roughly 3 months)
The Ring (Trade in 200 Provisions items (Gathering), again if you do 3 everyday, need 67 days, but the Fish can be the worst here, especially if you're 50, this will be extra time if you only do 2 and occasionally 3, if the fish is not hard to get or buy-able from the MB)
New thing they added was the 500 Levequest done for the GC
You only get 42 leves a week, 6 a day, 3 every 12 hours, so 180 Leves every month, with a 100 Leve Allowance cap, again ned roughly 3 months to get it
*One great thing about the GC Leveuest Achievements, you don't have to be that GC to those said leves. You can pick up any of the 3 GC's leves and get the Seals reward for the FC you are and the Achievement bar still fills up for other FC that you aren't in with*
I got the 500,000 Seals for Immortal Flames and Twin Adder
Have the 500 Supply Earrings for Immortal Flames and Twin Adder
Have the 200 Provisions Ring for Immortal Flames and soon to be Twin Adder (Only 15 Trade-Ins away, so 5 days)
After getting those and hopefully hit 50,000 cap for Twin Adder, I will just pay the 50,000gil fee and move onto Malestrom to finish of the Trifecta
Should be done right after 2.3 drops
Then back to Ul'dah and start ranking up again with the new stuff they will be adding for GC's in 2.3 and repeat the whole process again for all 3 GC's
Realizing you can fill the achievement bar of other FC's for the Bracelet, it helps out a fuck ton, now I have a place to burn leves every week, even found the easiest Leves which take roughly 3 minutes each and earn seals for the GC I'm in
Also doing this helps fill out the Challenge Log stuff to earn you extra gil!
