You're so ffxiv nerd with a try-hard lalafell avatar

[Lunarhawk]

you're gay.

No you are

He also bought a new axe that was for level 8 (he was doing marauder) and I think it had around 19 more attack than his original one and it increased his damage by about 100

[Cairthenn]

Just think if the attack on the great axe was 1711 more than his original...

[Battlecat]

So I'm kind of less excited to do pugilist now. I really wanted to use the claw type weapons but my friend said the lowest one in the shop was level 18. That's kind of gay.

Not really. It's 18 levels, that's nothing... really. And that's even assuming all the weapons/vendors are in the game already.

Yeah, this is pretty much the final version of the game, so its a good time to decide exactly what you want to do when the game actually is released.

[Imabrosup]

[Eldan]

[Kirb]

When's the next Famitsu out?

[FREDTHETARU]

test phase was just over. i was able to test my mauruder (sp?) with conj. skills, and level up. im about to edit the pics for name blockage, upload them, and then write up explainations and post. eta probably 30~45min.

A tidbit of info tho while you wait:

When i switched to an axe, all the spells i couldnt wear at the moment automatically came unequipped. with an axe i had a skill "Hack" which is mauruder skill only. all my elemental skills were still equipped (fire, aero, etc)

my chant spell i learned at lv 2 came off, as did cure that i learned at level 4.

when i dinged level 2 with axe, a new skill became available called trunksplitter, it takes 1000 TP, increases attack power and does slashing damage. attack power is increased further against seedkin.

Whats interesting is, when I dinged lvl 2 with axe, i was able to equip the conj spell i learned @ lvl 2, trance chant. i could be wrong, but as a conj, trance chant had no recast that i remember seeing. when its equipped with an axe, it has a 120sec recast.

Given that, we can assume that when i get to level 4 with an axe, i can then equip cure, which i learned on conj @ level 4.

anyway, gonna work on those pics now.

edit: learned cure @ 4 not 2

Fred where do you live that you are able to always have mobs spawned?
East Coast (NYC) here.

I've been able to log on but there are never any mobs spawned for me.
I've spent about 3 hours just running around a blank map..
Logged on and off a few times and I end up back where I was about 30 mins before I logged.. No NPC's either.

I had the same issue no mobs spawned around, I eventually landed in area with mobs but tended to be way to hard and when they saw me, well...things did not turn out the way I planned.

[Rionel]

Interesting... so abilities you learn as other jobs do carry over even if you're not main-ing them.

It's almost like the FFXI SJ system except you get other abilities at the same level as your leveled up SJ. (EG, When you reach Lv.4 Sword and if your have Lv.4 Conjurer, you'll get Cure which is Lv.4 Conjurer). That's how I seem to be understanding it... sorry if this isn't right!

Well! Time to get Gladiator + Conjurer for some Paladin action. D:

[Argh]

tvm Fred

So some abilities from other jobs/weapons can be used with some other jobs/weapons???

[Hyan]

Most, even.

[Spoony]

With some penalty, it appears.

Dang, I wish you had a bit more time to test how much cure was nerfed on mauruder, or if it had been gimped at all. I wonder if the casting time and recast times are the only thing directly influenced by using magic on a melee character, aside from the stat differences.


Good work though, dude.

[Loaar]

Now we just need to work out why Fred and a handful of other people had very few issues and others got 4 hours of no mobs.

[BRP]

Censor your name, or you'll get fucked over
