meowzma u get my guide on how to fish? posted it in ur thread. its quite easy once u get the hang of it
did you remake ur char?

I haven't but I will check thanks mate.

I was able to set the depth and jig my rod (just like IRL), I just couldn't work out where I was supposed to stand (there was some white swirly thing in the water), I kept getting the message "you have caught something, but can't reel it in".

I guess I got my hook caught on a rock or someone elses boots lol I'm not sure.
ill post it here hold on a sec

fishing is like the other gathering jobs u need to find the right spot to catch some statements to look for

1.You have hooked something but cannot real it in - means you need to still find the soft spot (soft spot meaning spot to catch fish)
2.You reel in line - getting closer to the soft spot
3. the fish takes in line - getting farther to soft spot
4. something about the fish has tired - means you hit the spot you need to then hit the same exact spot again to catch fish.

Same goes for the other gathering jobs (mining wcing etc) just different sayings
Its confusing at start but once you get used to it its quite easy.

did,,, until it bogged down at 97%....still no folder

Close the updater and wait a minute or 2, it will create the folders and save the file that it has downloaded so far ready to resume next time.

Questions:

How do you get new weapons?
How do you get new armor?

I have checked all the bazaars in the area and none of them have any armor or weapons. No npc's sell them either, besides the lv1 weapons.


Where are you supposed to level up? I hardly think leveling on the same mobs all the way 10+ as you did from level 1 is the correct way of doing things.

Mobs outside of the starter area kills you in one hit.

What class are you?

Regardless of what area you start in, this general rule follows:

Speak to first npc you see, they should ask if you want a tour, yes you does. you'll then be in an instance (basically the npc at the Inn will be stood infront of the desk), talk to them, instance exists, talk to them again, find yourway to which ever camp they've asked you to find.

Use the crystal thing to start the Leve, complete it, go back to the npc at the Inn, they will teach you new ability. head to the next desk at the Inn, the male npc will let you start 4 additional guildleves (under Battlecraft), you can also pick up a 5th quest back going to tutorial (it's the quest you've just completed), go back to the first camp, do those new leves, then back to the npc at the Inn, and continue storyline, which will eventually lead you to a new level 10+ camp.

If you're getting owed by mobs, choose a better class.

BTW you can get new gear from the above leves, other than that I think (for the time being) new gear will have to be crafted.

I have completed the two quests awailable in my city Ul'dah. All the mobs on the way to the lv10 camp are red.
The only mobs i found that are my level are the tall 4 legged spider things, very very few spawns on those.

Have you linked FFXI to your SE account? Log into the account and link them (button on the left somewhere).

Menu > Point Allotment.

Add STR, DEX mostly, then spend a few into VIT (1VIT = 10HP I think). As for the elemental bit don't ask.

Menu > Actions and Traits.

Click a blank box, click the drop down Menu at the top, Should say Pugilist or your weapon, I forget which, then you should see some new abilities down the right hand side.

If I remember right, level 6 gives you Second Wind, 1 min CD, but spends XX TP and heals you for an amount. Add that to your hotbar.

Either leave it 5 mins and close whatever else you're running, or cancel reboot and try again.

I know...

But the mobs are too tough still. They hit for 200 dmg.
Its either die against red too tough mobs at 100%, or get 300xp from too weak mobs(and get almost no pug xp) at 100%

There is no inbetween.

You're not missing much from beta tbh, other than me being emo and managing to kill myself.

lol@ you defeat you. I am just dying to test out my new graphic card, apparently it plays starcraft2, cysis and such at medium settings decently well, so I'm hoping FFXIV would look sweet. I don't need a REALLY high end desktop for it right?

Not really, the above picture is with everything set to their minimum settings simply because the game is laggy as ***right now.
