Well, after a week or so on Nasomi, I declare it *awesome*. One small thing, Windurst seems to be woefully behind in population and therefore in the ability to gain outpost warps. Looks like choosing my old home of Windy from 2005 may have been a mistake. I am looking for more experienced suggestion on which city of Sandy vs. Bastok is historically more capable in this regard. The long trek from Sandy to the Dunes (and no conquest points) will be sad, if I remain aligned with my old home of Windurst..... Time for a walk and a change. Looks like Bastok has most OPs. So my questions, is this typical? Cheers!

For the most part, people are chumps and cop out and go to Sandy.

I am still windy and have all but 2 OPs. I just made it a point to xp on saturdays and claim areas I needed warps for.

I'm Windurst and only missing two OPs (Tav and beau). So just have some patience, we get them.

Challenge accepted....
It's really just the pain of getting to Dunes now for the next few levels that's motivating me to switch.

I too made the mistake of choosing Windy. Sandy seems to be the better choice. Mostly 1st and occasionally 2nd, never last. Does the NPC for switching nations work?

You can definitely get them all as Windurst. Just takes a little patience.

Sandy is usually in first and the way to go from that perspective. I would imagine it's also easier to get missions done.

I'm from Bastok and we've been doing well lately. I have the dunes and Qufim OPs but it was a good month before i was able to get either.

If sandy ever sees last place or a tie for second, I'll pay the gil to change nations just because the CP items from Sandy seem to sell better...

Is it really worth becoming a nasty elf lover just to get a couple of early OPs? Why betray your fellow countrymen when you can help them in the fight against nasty elf loving Sandorians? We in Bastok have not given up the fight and nor should you my little Windurstywurstian friend!

Sandoria was only the original home of the elves. Now it is the best city. Come join the best city.
