    Btw. If anyone else noticed: level req of armors doesn't matter, you could equip them even at level 1 Didn't check weapons though.
    Yeah, noticed as well and reported. Sup Rank 6 items at Rank 1.

    You could also equip abilities of other jobs at any level. I had Chakra (second wind.) on my level 2 Lancer. Equipping abilities lower than your job gimped them a bit, chakra went from 60 second recast, 90-100ish healed to 1:50recast with 60-70 healed. I assume that equipping a Rank 6 item at Rank 1 incurs similar penalties.

    Ah yea forgot about abilities too. Didn't really check if there was stat penalty on items. I don't actually want them to implement a system like that though... Level req is a level req and they should leave it at that.

    monsters with the same name have the same level so far. its pretty consistent.

    Some Weaver recipes.

    This was talked about a bit in the other thread but has anyone used a gamepad for the beta? In particular the n52te though any works.

    Weird, when I had chakra equiped on my lowbie lancer I was getting 70~80 hp healed on 1min35 recast. When I dinged rank 6 it went down to 55hp (and slowly climbed backu p, im getting 65hp at R14 iirc) still on a 1min35 recast.

    And yeah level retriction thing is useful because I've been able to use a Lv22 armor since I got it at R11ish (can't get any armor from NPCs atm sucks, hurts soloinga lot because you have crappy DEF ;; )

    I did (PS2 pad), works great. Targeting is pain though.

    I found a few Puks with different levels, despite having the same name. They ranged from EM to VT. We died quite a bit thanks to the dot not always being present.

    One thing that annoyed me about the game is that it just seems so much easier to find a cave with quick re-spawning enemies and just grind them then to get a party together. Leveling in a group lead to lower exp (unlike the alpha where it didn't change) and very few Skill up points. I like that solo is much more viable, but it shouldn't be as good as a party.

    Cair's been using a Logitech Dual Action and it was comfortable and all so I ordered one for 19€. My only grief is that it looks somewhat bad, but I was sold on the grips.

    I downloaded the update (3GB) and placed it in the correct file path. However, now I get this ffxivboot.exe black box error that beta testers have been receiving. Noone on beta forums seems to have a workaround (maybe because they all post like they're 12. Has anyone here bypassed this obstacle?

    The moles all the lowbies are grinding on range from Blue (EP) to Red (IT), so this isn't correct. The IT ones didn't seem hard enough to be IT, but they definitely were harder than the EP mobs.

    Puks also varied a bit, as someone else already mentioned.

    I think maybe they broke gear on purpose bcause of the lack of crafting leves,could easily be wrong though. As of right now most peoples gear comes from leve rewards.
    this game is really craft driven, and i do think you can just be a crafter, you do the same things, crafting leves, out to teh field to gather, then synth it up. Its prolly as entertaining as battle for some people. However the whole that lack of crafters makes right now is huge. And the leves which are basically the place to get recipes

If your install, not download, install is giving you an error, there is an 80% chance that it is the "ffxivgame.exe" file on your Final Fantasy XIV Beta folder. (You will generally receive an error code on during the install process, then when you click "Ok" it will close out.) If this is your problem, what you need to do to fix it is remove ffxivgame.exe from the folder, finish the install, and then replace it with the latest version. I'm hosting that particular file here for those who need it.

    Since it's on page one, hope no one will ask for this again

    I used the PS3 bad, works perfectly.

    Getting on friend's server
    (Taken from beta forums)

    A faster way would just be using the Player's Site, just make your character and when the initial cutscene starts you can force close the game by tabbing out. Then sign in to the Player's site and your character will be listed there with server. You can then either delete and try again or proceed to play with your friends
    Or

    1. Have friend make 3 characters and record all of their name and surname.
    2. Make character on your account. At name creation, try to select all of your friends' names.
    3. If you get a name conflict, put in your own name and tell your friends that you got on the same server. If you don't get a name conflict, redo character creation.
    Or

    Use artmoney

    Yeah, even on beta forums they mentioned this but the only .exe files (in my folder) are ffxivboot, ffxivupdater, and ffxivconfig. Even a full search of my system couldn't find ffxivgame. I think bc I get this error before the install even begins (creating ffxivgame)?
