also, you can't buy other nation's rewards here.

You can, with the same rules as retail. Only stuff that's available when the nation is in 3rd, and your nation must be ahead of them in the conquest ratings.

...TopShelf told Nas to roll back all your ZNM gear, do the gilpocalypse and nerf Fishing/RNG into the ground.

Fair.

You can't buy other nation's good rewards here**

I guess I'm more looking for nas testimonials vs wiki if that helps.

Had someone from another nation that was rank 9 try to buy them. Definitely have to change to Windurst, they're not available otherwise.

They are active in Dynamis, and Limbus. They are not active if your nation controls the conquest zone, or you do not have signet. They don't work in Aht Urghan areas.

It reset my Zilart missions back to the first one when I changed nations. I wish I had been smart enough to get the teleport quest done first like Viktoriya. I've been bugging Nas to try getting it fixed so I can access Sky again for a few months now. So anyone reading this and contemplating a switch - do that first or you WILL lose sky access. No you don't have to zone into Norg first before it breaks. It breaks as soon as you pay the exchange fee. And you get stuck on the ZM right before you gain access to Sky, so just doing them again is also not an option.

I don't regret it, because I use them for damn near everything. But I do kick myself for not getting the crag warp quest done first.

Yeah, the hands will work as long as:

• You have signet
• -Your- nation (whichever it is at the time) does not control the region you're in
• The region you're in is subject to Conquest. If in doubt, hit /rmap and see if it says "this area is not subject to conquest" or something to that effect. Note that Dynamis zones and ToAU zones aren't subject to Conquest

Also, for anyone else that changes just to buy them - you do NOT need to change to Windurst and rank up to buy them (or any other conquest item from any other nation, like PPA/CCA, etc.). You just need to be at least one rank higher than the rank for the item in its home country (you need to spend one rank higher's-worth of points on the item you want), and your country needs to be higher in Conquest tally rank for the week than the country you're buying from. E.g.: If you're from Bastok and want Master Caster's Bracelets, which are purchasable at Rank 8 in Windurst for 40k points, you need to be Rank 9 in Bastok, and Bastok needs to be 2nd or 1st AHEAD of Windurst (not tied... at least not back in retail). Go to the Windurst Consulate in Metalworks and talk to the Windurstian gate guard there, and you'll be able to buy the Bracelets for 48k points (the same amount you'd spend for a Rank9 item in Bastok).

Part of this is false. You MUST be in first place to buy the Master Caster Bracelets, which means you must be part of Windurst. I tried this while Sandy was first and windy second

You can't buy Master Caster's Bracelets as anything but a Windurstian. You can't purchase items from other nations which require that nation to be 1st or 2nd, and bracelets require rank 1 or 2 Windurst iirc. I'm Windurstian on both characters so I can't verify that's how it works here, but I think Exelyon tried to purchase them a while back and wasn't able to because he wasn't from the best nation in Vana'diel.

On topic: The bracelets *should* work if you change, considering they aren't "Citizens of Windurst:"
