[Carraway]

Ants in Copperbell are usually a good start.

Thanks

[Fievel]

Where are they at in copperbell?

[miokomioko]

Whatever you do, don't get power-leveled on Gnats. For some reason they like to turn and Thunderstrike on the weakest player or something.

lmao, that's terrible.

So, currently a level 10 CNJ, misc other lesser things. All the gear in the ward in Ul'Dah is expensive. >_> Should I just be buying npc gear for awhile? I also read selling shards/crystals is a good way to make money, but no ones bought them yet, and I can't stick my retainer in the Crystalier's ward because it's packed, should I just npc them?

Don't NPC shards. A stack of 999 shards will get you anywhere from 110-150~k minus taxes. NPCing them will give you what, like 10kish for 999?

Are CNJ nukes supposed to suck at 12? Friend's THM nukes are sooooo much better. Also, should I be using rasp/etc?

[kisada]

thanks for the PL info.

anyone know where i can find raptors from 35-40 range?

[Niiro]

Don't believe there are any raptors below 40sh, lowest ones being north of bald knoll I think.

[kisada]

hmm ok, thanks. how about boars? anything below lvl 40?

[Niiro]

Likewise, I don't know of any below 40, lowest I know of being on that river-island in Coerthas.

[Fereydoon]

What should I be spending my CNJ marks on?

Fast Cast is prob the ability to get first. AFAIK all the "Wand" attacks are kinda useless now.
Also im pretty sure they are removing guild marks in next patch. So you might not want to rush collect them if they are getting removed anyway.

[Niiro]

^

Idk if SE intentionally made wand attacks completely worthless or if they just don't care enough to fix it till the next update, but yea skip them.

Get Fast cast (for all it's worth, barely notice any change thanks to the slow servers) then just buy up stat conversions if you plan on playing a melee class.

Is there anyway to change the filters in the battle window? Or do I just have to make a new tab?

[miokomioko]

All of the tabs are editable. You just have to check "Enable Tab" first before you can edit the name or filters.

[TacoTaru]

I'm sure I know the answer to this already, but is it possible to make the more than two tabs per window? I'd like to get my 5 tabs set up like XI had (General, Tell, Party, Linkshell, Shout) but I haven't been able to figure out how to have more than just the two if it is. If not, have they addressed adding more tabs in the future at all?

[Fereydoon]

All of the tabs are editable. You just have to check "Enable Tab" first before you can edit the name or filters.

I mean the other window, though. Or would I just drag the tab out and it'd make a window?

[miokomioko]

As far as I know, you can only have 4 tabs, forcibly separated into 2 different windows with 2 tabs in each.

I'm a little confused at the question though.

Main Menu > Configuration > Log Settings

It's separated into windows 1 and 2, each with two editable tabs, and a master transparency and font-size setting. I don't think you can simply drag out or drag in tabs... yet. You just have to decided which windows are going to have which tabs and manually adjust the filters and tab names to fit your needs.

If it's the first time you're editing your logs, as soon as you enable any tabs in window 2, that window will appear on your interface and you'll have to move it to where you want it. (I think that's what you might have been talking about)

I noticed that Banish 2 and Scourge 2 easily outdamaged the Tier 2 CNJ nukes as well. i dont use the DoTs though because they dont last very long and resist alot on things that matter.
