Anyone have any additional info to add to this from beta testing. I am going to work on this with 5 days open. I need to blow through whole gc hunting log.

Anything you're specifically looking for? I re-enlisted with the Maelstrom on my 1.0 character and still retained the rank I had at the end of 1.0, which I believe was 2nd Lieutenant, so I wasn't eligible to do any promotions.

That's all there is to it, really, but for the sake of a format better than Reddit can provide, here's my experiences:

I ranked up several times on my fresh beta character, so I can fill you in on how far I got. I do not remember the exact amounts each upgrade cost.

Promotion #1:
Ask the dude behind the counter for a promotion. You must pay X amount of seals.
Private 3rd Class -> Private 2nd Class

Promotion #2:
Ask the dude behind the counter for a promotion. You must pay X amount of seals (more than #1).
Private 2nd Class -> Private 1st Class

Promotion #3:
Ask the dude behind the counter for a promotion. You must pay X amount of seals (more than #2).
Private 2nd Class -> Corporal

Promotion #4:
Ask the dude behind the counter for a promotion. You must pay X amount of seals (more than #3), AND have GC hunting log page 1 completed.
Corporal -> Sergeant 3rd Class

Promotion #5:
Ask the dude behind the counter for a promotion. You must pay X amount of seals (more than #4).
Sergeant 3rd Class -> Sergeant 2nd Class



That's as far as I got. If I had to sum it up, I'd say every time you go up a tier (Private < Sergent < Lieutenant < ???), you need to have the next page of the GC log completed. I hope there's a quest involved as well, when release comes.

I've purchased everything I cared to buy with seals in the beta, so if you have other questions, I can probably answer them too.

I didn't rejoin my GC yet the previous week i got stuck because you couldn't even try to solo this dungeon and this weekend i was doing crafting stuff so didn't test the duty finder and was too busy to play on sat. Forget my rank. lodestone says it's corporal. i couldn't go further without doing the ifrit fight.

Yeah I was just looking for extra feedback and experiences in the Beta and that's what I got so thank you. Any additional info during the next 2 phases will be welcome but like Raldo pointed out I think it's pretty straight forward for this new version of 14.
