Hmm, I might join you guys after midnight if you're going to do the Moogle pre-reqs.

I thought the moogle prerequisite was a blast, I got a feeling the bigger the group the more pain it is though. We went with four last night and had a great time.
Not sure if I fancy doing it over and over and over though.

How in the world did you do it with 4. Cassie + spiteful would murder you.

We got really lucky, spiteful walked past us twice and didn't aggro, I have no idea how, he practically walked right through cassie at one point with a glad in front and me behind on pug. I was holding my breath. We did it just in time for the trees to come back and just as the message popped for the item, a tree one shotted our glad lol. Spiteful actually gave us the most problem, we pulled him the opposite side from cassie, on to the top of the bridge and he killed the glad and arc, leaving me and the con to finish the last 10-15% which wasn't that comfortable.
I'm thinking about jumping back in and trying this game out again. Havent played since beta/first week of release. I'm completely lost in game now, feels like a lot has changed since then. Any info online to quickly outline the changes? or maybe some sort of updated guide as to what to do ingame?
Leaving up that you're available for a party, or searching for others?

I made a mockup to show one way to use the currently blank space in order to consolidate the information better to reduce redundancy. Right now, when I search for stuff, the results are cluttered with the different colors and variants of the gear.
It still might be too cluttered, if anyone can suggest a better way, then please do.

decided on something like this and implemented it:
With regards to Variants - I think if they start adding mass variants ill add +Int, +Vit modifier tags too
They need to address some issue. There are some items with just a dye (Red) that also have a stat improvement when they should have a prefix/suffix instead.

perhaps these lyrics hold the key to his demise.
lol51 is it me of is the gearfinder pretty broken since the patch ?
Edit:- Awesome changes, you are fast lol
A couple more suggestion (tell me to F off if you want /grins)
1. Is it possible to add a filter for company rewards. (default could be none)
2. Is a crafting item (craftimanship +11)
3. Pink gaiters is duplicate of the plain gaiters above it. (guess a couple slipped through the net)
Also relating to a search i did on CNJ is having achievement items showing up by default in the gear finder a good idea ? As awesome as the Paragons crown is I doubt I will ever get it.
Edit:- More
All the items numbered don't have any stats relating to the ones I am searching for. (2 and 3 would be fine with deafult settings as they have MP)
Edit:- I found more, SE screwed your site up good and proper (this might be due to you not having uploaded all the tooltips)
For example:- Search for Woolen Cowl, It says
+8 Mind
+4 Piety
+12 Magic Evasion
+12 Healing Magic Potency
But tooltip only says
+8 Mind
+12 Magic Evasion

Made some quick changes to gear finder: Removed color items so they don't skew the item weights... So only the base items will show.
Also uploading ~5000 tooltips for 1.2 and made the tooltips user accessible (to copy and paste just follow the
Remaining 4000 will be done in 6 hours.

One of the achievement NPCs is named Ironheart and is an explorer. You should know why this is funny if you played FFXI.
EDIT: Atelloune is right from XI LOL. Practically the same NPC a la Gilgamesh summon.
Also she knew I did an unrelated quest with another NPC. That's pretty interesting.
Also I dislike the loss of my line AoE moves as a Lancer... well sad. Maybe the positional stuff will make up for it.
EDIT: @170 points. Which I imagine is pretty low.
Quest achievements suck. They dedicate the big name achievements to class quests. What's the point? You already have "level all class" achievements. Only kind I care about too lol.

If you want remembers, go to do "A feast of fools" and one of the NM's to kill is..

Could be they haven't got round to that yet, they mentioned in the patch notes that there are still some achievements that aren't implimented yet.
I have done all the sidequests but 2 (Ifrit and Moogle) so I damn well want an achievement for that.
I would have to do that manually and I prefer not to. The client doesnt have info about how to acquire items so anything like that has to be manually updated and id rather keep things based on client.
also gathering
That items that are Pink isn't getting merged with the other items because pink isn't an All-purpose dye color. I'll look into removing those OLD/Dated item colors.
Gear finder working as intended
Goals are good.Check All Results if you want more than top 3 results
I dont think there are items that have the traits you wanted in that slot.
All tooltips upgraded now.Edit:- I found more, SE screwed your site up good and proper
Oh really, thats interesting.
Is anyone else constantly being disconnected, I can't stay logged in for more than 20-30 seconds :S
Yeah strange... I ran a look and Torturers duckbills are the only thing that has any of those stats on footwear. It is getting filtered out because of the huge level range.

Well I dont think they are as insanely strong as they were beforehand, but they dont seem to be pushovers either.
Was wondering why NPCs took so long to load, so I did a tracert.
Does this look as bad as I think it does?

Cool, to be expected. I should have 5 months payed up for, so I will ride this one out. I have faith in SE. I would be on more but my current situation has left me fearing for the safety of my computers.
If anything, I'd say its a lot more hectic. Time is not your friend in this battle.
I dunno how many this is going to reach...but like I was talking about in that exp party the other night, we've got like 120 something members, but only about 20 something that are still around, plus more recent recruits.

Eh, I actually don't think it would help, really. I'm just gonna send PMs to everyone who I can remember who has a GAF account and a Red Dot pearl.
If anyone can help compile a list of who I need to send PMs to, that would be very helpful.

I have nothing to play right now. Thinking about picking this up. Just can't pull the trigger. Are there people here who could jump into earlier game stuff or will I be stuck with no one to play with since I have zero friends who play.
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
Well, most of us are pretty high level already, although some still have some low level classes. It might be a little hit n' miss.

Just bought. We'll see how it goes. It's gotta be better then FFXI, which I thought was garbage. If you had to randomly throw out a guess, how many hours of play are we talking to get to your "high level"?
