FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VIII: Alpha Was The Best Beta v2 -_-;

Crafing Leves also don't take away from your Battlecraft Leves, so there's really no reason NOT to do them.

Wait, really? I wasn't aware of that...

[Ratatapa]

Are Conjurer spells supposed to be AoE? And if so, do the mobs literally have to be on top of each other to work?

Do /aoe on to do the spells Aoe

Another tip to know is Aoe is on when you cast a spell look at the button saying Area of Effect, if it'S light on it's AoE if it's light off it,s single target

yes to both. you also can turn off and on aoe by typing /aoe on or /aoe off

btw, i hit yesterday 16 con, and im also 10 thm. and after being about half way to rank 17 con, i hit surplus for the first time in open beta. skill points in menu are shown yellow now. also, after i killed a mob, it says something like surplus is activated now. the bad thing is, that it is not shown hoow many points go into surplus skill. all the skill up the text log shows after a fight is added to skill pionts.

however, since i got 500 skill points most of the time after a fight (which i assume is the cap for none leave mobs) i only got around 300-455 after i hit surplus. wonder how long it will remain.

Really :D Battleleves are separate timers/numers from Localleves

Where's my maintenance noteeee :<

[Karnja]

about playing in a group i want to share some experience:

when leveling with 3 or more people in a group, at least 1 person doesnt get no skill up points at all. Even though the skill ups are shown in fight, no skill at all gained after fight. and its not a bug in the text window, because we compared the exact numer of skill pre and after fight.

anyone else having this issue or similar issues?

I only get 8 between both. Every 48 hours.

[Gokulo]

Umm... this can't be?

[DeathbySnoosnoo]

Um it is I justmade a new guy not 2 hours ago, I could only do 8 total.

Between Regional (Battle) and Local (Crafting) leves you could get a total of 8? I just got my new set of leves last night and I got 8 for each group.

[Ratatapa]

Ya 8 each in 1 camp but if you do 2 camps you can do 4/4 on first camp andn 4/4 on second camp

And don't tell me i'm wrong I did it 5 min ago

Did 4 batllte and 4 craft at bentback (sp) and then did 4 battle and 4 craft at Emerald Moss

[Null]

Not sure if this has been said / discussed before. But damn is it me or do skills like Raging Strike and Ferocity seem to have twice as long a timer then they did before the last patch?

[Ratatapa]

Where's my maintenance noteeee :<

Btw there was a maintenance this morning?

[DeathbySnoosnoo]

I just logged in on my old char and couldn't sign up for any more, I had previously done 4 of each, tried different camps won't let me have any more

[zalasta]

Okay, it's beginning to bug me. You can toggle aoe on or off by simply using /aoe. No need to attach "on" or "off" to it.

[DeathbySnoosnoo]

You can toggle aoe on or off just by pushing Z

[Cjskater]

For Local Leves I'm pretty sure you actually get 8 in each city.

Some people are annoying by such small things,

How do I get around this macro problem. I set up my macros for job changes plus equipping actions. But every time I switch from lancer to archer I end up with archers weapon skills. Same thing when I switch to lancer. Although Its supposed to equip skewer or something of the sort it will keep puncture. Everything else changes like it should but the weapon skills always stay the same as the previous job. Very annoying.
