Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

So I found something else SE screwed up massively.


Ul'dah is home to the Weaving and Goldsmithing guilds, but wind shards are beyond rare. What the CRAP SE?! Fire & Earth are abundant which is great, but a bit of wind would also be much appreciated... at least I can find the odd bit of lightning and ice off mobs for Alchemy but geez, I'm trying to raise my Carpentry so I can make a shield for my Gladiator, but outside of leves it's f'ing impossible due to the severe lack of wind.


And there was at least one NPC selling all 6 shards for 80 gil each, and I could have sworn it was a guild shop too but SE seems to have ninja edited that right out.

Wind Shards aren't rare. Haha.

Go to the lighthouse south of Limsa. Along the way there are Puk's and jellyfish things, they all drop wind shards. And when you get to the lighthouse, you'll see a bunch of sheep that just shit wind shards.

It is rare when 1000 other players are also farming the same mobs you just described. It's gotten really nasty with so many people snapping at each other in that area. I'm even seeing LS groups farming together in order to "lock" the area down to get their shards/crystals during peak times.

I've seen the guild shops selling shards, but I thought you had to pay in guild marks (where do you get these, btw?)

You get them from nowhere. So far there only appears to be three guilds the player can earn marks from, none of which are actually in the game. The player earns so little that the 5000 price is probably a placeholder.

I have got marks for Conjurer guild from Leve's. I would expect other guild to aqcuire marks in the same way. I managed to get 290 marks in closed beta, just 10 away from my first Fast Cast update then I ran out of beta time

How far south, exactly? Or did you miss the part where I said I was in Ul'dah.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

Hmmm.. Just a quick question... Do you have to get exp from the mob to gain the shards this time around?

I think sometimes you just get shards for doing nothing. If not, then items drop wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too slow lol. I hadn't fought anything in about 45 mins and I was getting shard drops while standing around talking. (Now that I think about it, I can't remember if my friend was in my party at that time or not. If he was, forget everything I just said lol)

That message you see about you getting something (especially if you are not in a group) for nothing is actually a bug with the log right now. The log is displaying things that happens to other players as if you experienced it yourself. Very weird and annoying.

Oh? I always assumed it was the loot from the loot list finally going into my inventory without me forcing it in there.

No, not that message, the other one. Here's an example:

You have killed a Furry Marmot.
You gain something points for your something class.
You gain something points for physical.
You gain a number of shards.
You gain a number of something ores.

^ That bit about ores? There was a miner next to me that got it. Looked in my bags and the loot deposit area to make sure and yeap ... I got no ores. Just the items off that Marmot.

Re: Official Unofficial Bugs, Thoughts, and Suggestions

I dunno if this is a bug or I'm just an idiot.

Started the game as a Miner. Went about doing mining stuff. Mined a bunch of junk using my one Mining ability and made a decent amount of cash.

Then I went and bought an Axe. I equiped the axe stepped out of town and did some Axey things. Killed a bunch of stuff, got some more cash and all was well.

But then I wanted to go mining again. So, I equiped my Pick and then................nothing.

My one and only mining ability has disappeared. No where to be found. Not in my action bar, not in my action menu on any kind of list. No where at all. It's kinda irksome cause I found this out right after I started a mining Leve.

I get my throw stone ability. But the one skill I use to find the Mining spots has completely disappeared. Anyone know if this is common, or am I just missing something completely?

This seems to be a bug. Someone on another forum posted about this, too. I'm assuming you know how to equip abilities correctly, yeah? If so, and it's not in your list under Mining, then it's a bug for sure.

Wheeee...with stuff like this still happening, release should be fun! I still get the "you can not perform that action here" crap too which is SO annoying. I'm afraid when I do any darn guildleves.
