Cool. I've been trying to figure out the level flow for the game so far.

Kinda want to know where to go grind/leve at during retail.

My lala I think I'm going to be giving up on my Miqo'te aspirations on final release. Question though, are the lighter skintones doomed to glow in certain lightings, or are my graphics settings a tad funky? Can't post a picture now (at work), but I'll see what I can find once I get home.

Since Beta 3 is almost over I decided to go exploring one last time.

SE finally got the elemental design right. Wonder if they saw the FFXI Pixie elemental .dat and thought it would be a good idea. xD

Someone from Ultimecia server tried to gather people up for a "Goodbye Beta" screenshot but most ignored it. I wanted to be on it though. :D

We duo those efts now at lvl 28. They also do not aggro so you can go down there with no problems.

Doesn't that elemental look like a cross between a pixie and an aern?

I'm soloing right now most of the mobs in that area @29 MAR. Mice, Spider things, eft, and rams are manageable solo with the right stuff. The Flytraps give me a problem because they hit like a like a fucking truck.

Edit - Also if you don't know how to exploit the AI then don't bother trying any of these. Makes them 10x harder.

this is the glow I'm talking about. Is this the curse of having lighter skin in game, or is there a way to adjust settings?

[Arximiro]

So out of curiosity I wanted to know how these worked and what the point was.

It seems like they are there to just ease the changing of jobs on the fly. You can equip these traits to allocate your DD to mage stats in quick fashion. Although I would think later in the game you would want other job traits more. There are also ones that allocate 10 at a time in the beta, I just went with the 5 though.

On another note currently you can log out and log back in and it saves your chat log. Just something small and usually irrelevant, but interesting.

Edit: It's weird that you buy these with PUG Marks, I would think it would be the other way around for traits at the PUG guild NPC. Convert Mnd to Dex etc.

That's what they're there for. Mage jobs have traits that give Str/Dex/Vit from Int/Pie/Mnd. Helps for someone who is a stat allocated mage when switching to a melee, and gives you yet another incentive to level another class for your main.

They are both. High dmg dd, low acc, and has tank abilities like aoe taunt and defensive abilities.
