This is going to sound a little patronizing, and I assure you I don't mean it that way, but have you checked the amount of free space you have? I have run into problems like this because of lack of space before.
Hate to say it, but that sounds like a HD error.
From this reddit thread: https://pay.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1kvan0/fix_for_unable_to_update_patch_files_ie/
For whatever reason, FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn has turned read only, preventing the patcher from making changes. To fix:
1. Right click your FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder
2. Click properties and untick Read-only.
3. Click apply and then OK.
Simple as that!
I can't remember exactly where the folder is, but I've seen people mention deleting the partially downloaded patch files when it fails like this. Maybe somebody knows what folder to check?
Fixed
Gotta love when you end up in a party with people like this.

It's ok anything I could've over looked is good to check first
I had enough space to install the entire game several times over
thanks for the suggestion
No it's not I made sure of that
thanks for the suggestion
I tried it and it didn't work but thanks for the suggestion
I think you are referring to the files in My Games folder?
I trying deleting that and it didn't work but thanks for the suggestion
what worked for me is turning off my antivirus right before the moment it usually pop up the error then turning it back on right after it safely went over it
Thanks everyone for your suggestions![]()
Any guides explaining crafting? timing the touches to the item quality, etc?
God damn, the Final Fantasy level up fanfare is one of the best sounds in all of video games.
Crafting guide:
Use these skills.
Tricks of the Trade - ALC15.
Comfort Zone - ALC50.

huh? Crafting has shared skills? I didn't even know.

Does anyone have that image that showed the various things that unlock at the level points? It was a set of circles.

So far not one complaint about not logging in on this entire page. All talk is about the game itself. Was the last maintenance a success?
I want to try messing with a parser tonight. Anyone have experience with either the japanese one or FF XIV App? Are these considered safe too? From what I read, the japanese one does a better job of calcing dps due to dots, but I don't know japanese.
What is this 7 day free trial they are talking about on their website and how can i get it? Also where is the client so i can dl the game in preparation for when i buy it?![]()
I'm curious about this too for tracking stats as I go, especially for my dps classes/jobs I plan on leveling.
I'm a nice guy!
They're adding 7 days to existing accounts. You can't DL the game without an account (which you get by buying the game).

Well damn, how about the client?
It's weird logging in with no errors....I feel...odd
Yes, it makes leveling up future crafting classes much faster. I have 'Tricks of the Trade - ALC15.' which restores 20CP everytime the item gets 'good' condition (glows red), makes getting HQ much, much easier early on.
I already answered this question, didn't I?
about how long would it take me to lvl 1-15 on a conj? Curious if i can make pally tonight.
Was looking at the patch notes and noticed the entry regarding The Mark of the Twelve. Is that supposed to show up on all characters created on a Legacy account, or just characters that existed in 1.0? The patch notes make it sound like the former.

Oh damn thanks for the tip. I have LTW at 29 so I think I'll pause and get Alc to 15 so I can get that skill. It's pretty crazy.
It is only on 1.0 characters.
Of course all the children running around with their fancy face paint... of all the newfangled trends!

Yeah, I wasn't planning on touching ALC (at least not for a long time) but now I'm gonna have to get to at least 15 for that skill.
It can be done in one ambitious night.
