Servers are up but there is a lot of congestion and there's intense congestion.

Also, can anyone link me to a site where it lists when there is maint. and how long it should last?

What if, instead of a wiki, there was a strictly moderated (sub)forum that had a thread for every quest, ability, class, and etc with very detailed OPs(but the rest of the thread less so)? These threads would be titled in a way that makes them very easy to search. Imagine if it was possible for everyone to edit posts there(mainly the OP). It certainly would be easier for people to contribute.

Is it possible mods?

Shrooms have such a horrible drop rate lol.

What to kill at rank 7 in Black Shroud?

**Trocian** · 2010-09-27 08:46

Damn it, I should read all the pages before posting -.-

I usually went something like~ Star Marmots > Forest Funguars > Snapping Shrews/Glowfies/Cave Bats > Thistletail Marmots > Emerald Bee Swarms/Yarzon Feeders/Roselets > ??? > Rank-50

I've not found any Shrews or bats...

**miokomioko** · 2010-09-27 08:54

Ah, they are in local caves. Look for dead-ends on the map that are just a little bit fatter looking than the average path. That's where caves usually are. There will always be 3 pops, but they are shared between Snapping Shrews (common), Glowflies (less common), Cave Bats (rare), and Errant Spirits (rare). I'd say the Glowflies are the highest level, but their HP is a joke. Snapping Shrews you gotta' run away from when they burrow. The bats and ghosts are too weak.

Hmm, I figured this would update the client to fix the logging in problem but it says my version is upto date, still can't get on though. :/ very annoying.

edit: Can get on now. hopefully this problem is fixed

I found a cave but the shrews are too low level and the flies are red...

Edit: Nevermind, even the red flies are killable.

Edit: Shit didn't help that I thought blue is weaker than green...

**Rammses** · 2010-09-27 09:11

They added some sort of autotarget to market wards? Either that or my client is seriously messed up.

**Sephiroth** · 2010-09-27 10:19

Where can I buy a cheap shield?

**Dantrag** · 2010-09-27 10:26

Question: What the hell does the +1 +2 gear provide? I see the stars but none of the numbers on the gear are any higher than the regular gear. Hidden BS stats?

**Celeras** · 2010-09-27 10:34

The fuck is this? Had it for over 24 hours now (albeit all but 2-3 were offline time). Noticed in Uldah after testing my new Scepter. Had been repeatedly switching back and forth mid-fight between it and the Weathered scepter for comparisons.

Are you wearing gear that is not for your class?

**Sephiroth** · 2010-09-27 10:38

How do you cancel a spell you're casting? because I keep doing it with cures and nearly dying.

**Meko** · 2010-09-27 10:46

I'd like to know how to cancel spell casting as well. When in a group, I try hitting my hot keys to bring up my actions but if I hit one that is stoneskin or cure and it's already up, I'd like to be able to cancel it. Having to toggle modes with "F" is just another step that I'd like to avoid if possible.

**desertigloo** · 2010-09-27 10:46

stupid question, the ferries take you to the different cities?
I wanna go grab a BG social pearl but not sure what the most time effective solution is ._.
I'm based in Ul'dah if that helps
