I'm in the process of getting all Nations to rank 10 (finished Sandy and Bastok so far). When I switched from Sandy to Bastok (Bastok was last in conquest) it did indeed cost me 4k. However when I switched from Bastok to Windy (Windy second in conquest) it cost me 12k. The wiki said 16k, so I've changed all the allegiance changer pricings for second place, but I'm wondering if the price is dependant on other factors, such as the nation you're switching from, or the number of regions controlled, etc. Chernabog 07:08, 18 July 2006 (EDT)
Its certainly possible, but no one really changes nations often enough (and records the price) to really discover this. Pretty much the most useful piece of info is that its cheapest when the nation is in last, and most expensive when they're in first. --Chrisjander 09:37, 18 July 2006 (EDT)
Odin currently has this conquest ranking: Bastok 1st, Windurst 2nd, San d'Oria 3rd. My friend went to change from Sandy->Windy and was given a price of 40k, even though the nation she was switching to was 2nd. So chances are the rank of your nation matters, not the nation you're switching to - i.e. are you moving up or down in the ranking? --Trauts 22:14, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
Odin's conquest tally just went by. Now Windurst is first, San d'Oria second, Bastok third. Perhaps this is based on the *next week*'s tally? As in, who seems like they'll be in First next. --Trauts 19:57, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
Changing Nation Correction
The remark about changing nation at Rank 5 or below is incorrect, in my experience. I was Rank 4 in Bastok, and switched to Windurst. Bastok was first, Windy second. Cost me 12000 gil, but I was able to do it fine. I'm removing that mention from the page for now. Duminas 05:05, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
I re-added but removed the "or below" clause. The storyline for all nations explains why you cannot leave your nation at rank 5. I have easily changed nations right before flagging the 2-3 missions. Ahkvan 00:44, 20 August 2007 (CDT)
