I like the last one, thought its was pretty confusing to run around and see the chat log say "You received 3 Wind Clusters"

Why are you guys waiting for the client to download the updates lol? Just find the torrent in the mydoc/mygames/ffxivbeta folder and dl it that way. Client is fast sometimes then stops at 9x% or just doesnt dl at all. The torrent will dl in 5 minutes, you take the file and place it in the appropriate patch folder and D U N!(done).

You can reallocate stats every few hours it from last beta, havent checked it out in OB.

P.S. Making a char on kashuan now.

Hey red, did you try to do leves in different cities? Can you do the ones in gridania then uldah etc? so you end up with a lot more to do every 48 hrs.

[RedIce]

Yea that was the first thing I tried to do after I ran to each major city lol. I picked up 5 in Ul'dah then 3 in Gridania.. and then you're capped. So it is 8 total regardless where you get them. Well 8 in the respective categories regional/field and local

You test reallocation of stats much? I poked it a few but could only move a few around

[Ochobocho]

All i could reallocate was 3 out of 14 points for stats and 2 out of 14 for resistances. Mind you I just created this char and just got rank 4pug/physical. Ill check it every so often to see when its available, supposedly you can do it only every few hours and im guessing it has to do with when you allocated them. I had put some of the stat points in initially but forgot resistances till later, might explain why 3/14 vs 2/14.

I'm on if you're here ocho for a "pearl".

[Ochobocho]

[RedIce]

pixels ahoy lol

how'd you remove the UI? Oh.. look slike a standard SS from square? lol

[Ochobocho]

thats what a geforce 7600gt gets you.

you hold scroll lock noob! =p

[RedIce]

I take pride in my noobiness

[RedIce]

Any indication when you hit surplus or whatever? idk if it's the new mobs or cause I idle on archer lol but my acc has gone to complete shit and my phys lv way above these mobs.. and job lv on par so shouldn't be missing like this.

[Ochobocho]

You only hit surplus once you hit their predetermined amount of xp(w/e it may be, probably changes as you lvl). They didnt say that surplus would affect stats either. I remember in CB people kept saying archers accuracy is shit. Put lots of points in dexterity? Also your stats are scaled down to match your job level.

[RedIce]

Found a nice bug lol. Once you hit the 999 cap on shards the ones you get don't create a new stack.

Any other place to see our stats besides the point allocation? Preferably show these said scaled stats lol
