http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ring Comes from Gold chests with an augment, anything with 3+PDT will beat any alternative (aside from dring and jelly that you'd already have), but if you manage to find a 6pdt/6mdt one, damn you D: Has -hp +mp as well.

Oh my wow... I'm gonna start partying in aby kon just for one of those =\

I don't know if the update has anything to do with this, but yesterday when i tried to change something in my xml, no matter how many times i unloaded, loaded, reloaded, restarted ff, restarted my cpu, the change would not take effect. any help is much appreciated

[shepardG]

You saving the. Xml file as a .txt file aren't ya.

[Soundwave]

nope

im not even adding any lines to my xml, just replacing a piece of gear

[kenshyn]

is the gear newly added this patch?

[Soundwave]

nope

im trying to sell my HQ dusk feet, all i did was replace them with aurum sabatons

[kenshyn]

Maybe the edit broke your xml file are u using notepad++? An error in the xml file can easily have spellcast throw up on it might want to turn debug mode on and check the log....

[Soundwave]

Im using context

So im back to have you save me once more. So since update ive noticed that my spellcast doesn't work right on my pup. Normally I idle in hermes/nodowa/and pantin taj. So I start fighting a mob, swap to tp gear, kill mob, swaps back to idleset. Then if I use a maneuver, it for some reason puts me in tp set. Never used to do that. Any reason?

http://pastebin.com/mKNv9Qg9

Edit: also I tried to make it so that when im below 50% health it swaps in my pantin taj and nodowa but its not working, I obviously dont know how to make the condition work

Line references are from numbers on that one.

57: You had it if HPP(ercent) is exactly equal to 75, rarely if ever true. Replaced with hppl(ess)t(han) 50.
73-75: You had it swapping to tp set aftercast here as well, changed to only do that when engaged.
now that I think of it, add this after line 75:

			<else>
				<equip when = "aftercast" Set = "idle" />
			</else>

Unlikely but you might be overwriting that piece with another gearswap later on, post and can check.

Save it as something else, delete the old one, manually load the new one (sc load Soundwave_Job_2 or w/e you name it) and see if you have the same issue.

Anyone having a prob on blm with waterja,stoneja not changing gear?

You need to wait for an update to resources, or manually add them to spells.xml in your resources folder.

Spellcast doesn't play nice with newly added items afaik until Aikar or whoever updates the resources file.
