ACN is pretty fun. It is like FFXI summoner but none of that wasted effort on MP management. The topaz carbuncle is a beastly tank.

I just did my first dungeon and went with my buncle tanking a secondary target and going full out on main target. I noticed my healer was nuking a bit with me back up curing. No one died except for my buncle on the last boss in Sastasha where I set it to attack at the same time as the MRD tank started to attack. The Topaz can pull more hate and take decent damage considering I am the only one baby sitting his HP.

ACN is pretty much lock with a few minor changes, which is not a bad thing. I always use Emerald Carbuncle in dungeons though because it does more dps, and honestly if I was tanking and had a pet taking aggro off me I would be pissed. I guess it depends on the tank though.

Just go to controller config and swap X and O.

What time does the second wave come in? I've just logged on with no problem whatsoever, which is surprising.

**Buffy** · 2013-08-17 06:58

It opened 3 hours ago.

Noticing a few weird things going on in crafting. During rainbow/excellent condition, even using buffs that don't actually touch the item seem to be forcing condition into poor, which I'm pretty sure isn't how it's supposed to work.

Also quick synthesis can fail even on synths you essentially have no chance of failing normally (if you don't care about HQ).

I've hit a wall, I leveled TRM and ACN to 15+ then went to go level some DOW classes and my roegadyn grunts like a lalafell when fighting I assume its a bug I just put in on the beta forums in the bug section or is feedback a better play place because What I want to know asap is, 'Is it intended?' So I know I'm not wasting my time lelveling some roegadyn that sounds like a lalafell when swinging his axe.
that brings me to my next point, why are the combat sounds not avalible for preview when making a charecter, its the most important sound your character makes because its the one you'll be hearing all the time in combat for how ever long you end up playing.

Looks like Adamantoise crashed. World data can't be obtained.

**bluefan** · 2013-08-17 10:10

Back up now, but it looks like it rolled back a bit. Lost a level in mining. Fuuuuuuuuck.

**Avarice** · 2013-08-17 11:18

Looks like someone wasn't paying attention entirely.

Spoiler: show

Any info on how to obtain relics? I left off after turning in my doubled bow and was working on speed runs. Also anyone else been missing any gear? Couple pieces of AF (drg) and my moogle fork . I'm going to be pretty pissed if I can't get my gigantic squeaky dinner fork.
Or my AF for that matter.

3 places your gear will be located. Calamity NPC, Armoire at the Inn House, or your Retainers.

**shepardG** · 2013-08-17 12:42

Probably at the inn, thanks ^^

Yes and I'm quite pissed they removed it.

Holy shit they removed that? Possible it's bugged?

**Galkaeater** · 2013-08-17 12:59

I had two characters on gilgamesh now I got none
please let me back on SE

**Spider-Dan** · 2013-08-17 14:03

So have we lost the ability from 1.0 to buy out of a stack? Everything up for sale forces me to buy the entire stack.

Also, lack of a real sort feature (particularly on retainers) is a major issue on a game with picture-based inventory. I have to mouse over each individual item to see what it is.

**Patriarch** · 2013-08-17 14:05

This new version is awesome. I'm only a 50 glad/46 conj but this just feels awesome. So much smoother and more enjoyable than 1.0.

Now to just re-learn to play lol. Can't find my chocobo, no idea where to go. Started in Gridania lol, oops

**Kiarax** · 2013-08-17 14:07

Did they adjust dungeon difficulty? Feel like I was taking way more damage on MRD in Sastasha than I did in p3. I don't feel like there was any major gear discrepancy between my char then and now either and I was a level higher this time.
