I just noticed I have 100 points (?) in my Station Cash. They must have been given to me by Sony since I just stumbled over it last night while poking around on the options menu. I was looking at what I could buy on the Marketplace for 100 points/Station Cash and the Nimbuses (or would that be Nimbae) looked interesting. One or two of them I got a bit of an idea what they do from reading the description plus looking them up on the ZAM database, but some of them I have no clue.
I am a 65 (soon to be 66) level Druid. Would one of them be more advantageous than another. Are some of them just novelties, like wearing a circlet of roses?
Also, what does an item mean when it is "attunable?" I tried to equip a shield last night and I got a pop up that said, "Do you want to attune this to your character?" I stopped there and researched a bit online, but I'm still a bit fuzzy. If I "attune" an item to my toon, can I still remove it at will to switch out another item, give it away at a later date, etc.
Thank you for any answers as always.

The nimbus are just a novelty. I don't believe any of them provide any real tangable benefits. There is a preview box in the Station Store that you can see what most of them look like.
Attuneable is an item that you can trade until someone equips it. So if I get a shield that drops, I could trade it (or sell it) to you, and then if you equipped it, it becomes no trade (no drop.)

^correct.
On FV you seem to be able to swap most attunable things around (maybe all --I have some former Mayong server characters there and some of their gear was flagged oddly to stop it being traded so it mixes me up). I mention this because I think Az has mentioned FV in other posts.

Thank you both for your answers. *smiles*
Yes, I am on the FV server. Iirc, items that are no trade/drop on other servers originally did not have those limitations due to the ability to only have one toon on FV in the past, thus no twinking of alts. Now the FV server, as far as I can tell thus far, is not much different than other servers except that Elvish is the common language and if one does not use that, sometimes others can't understand him.
I was just concerned I might put an item on and not be able to get it off...lol. I'm putting an attuneable item on one of my alts, so I will find out if it then becomes no trade or not.
Thank you for the info re: the Nimbus/Nimbi. They pretty much did just look like novelties; however, on one of the ZAM descriptions re: the "Fluffy Cloud" (or something similar), several people commented that it apparently has a levitation ability which was why I was wondering if the others had some purpose but no one commented on the others.

It wont become no trade, attuneable means you get a message saying it can only be used on one character once it is equiped and do you still want to equip it, message. Click yes to equip it then take it off sell it move it to an alt doesnt matter on FV. I am almost always logged in but rarely on =P If you ever need help and one of my 3 is not in the Guild Lobby I would be happy to help.
