Now if only I can make sense of general configuration and what all these strange things on the side mean:
"What the hell does it mean if my arrows are made of ash wood rather than maple or oak?"
"What attribute does Piety apply to or affect?"
etc. etc. etc.
Lol I can tell you if you want? or would you prefer to find out on your own?
Oh just tell me. I already am resolved to simply "try out" XIV while it's within it's free trial and to get my hermes shoes; then it's back to XI until I am done with it and get better comp hardware.

Oh and, ello Mai~

Final Fantasy Rap is goddamn genius.

Oh, that arrow thing makes sense and is pretty cool.
Piety is magic acc while int is still potency/magic attack power?
Also, I was looking at my equipment and was rather confused at how it told me of what the base material composition was or something to that effect. I'm sure it was something relevant to crafters; I have no idea.

STR = Physical damage
VIT = HP and Base Defence
DEX = Physical Accuracy
INT = Magical Damage
MND = MP
PTY = Macc
The material is basically relevant to crafters and to you if you want to repair your own gear on the fly instead of going to an NPC.

Lol pretty good. Kinda bored though.
By Artemicion 2010-09-15 01:52:41
I like how there is a general balance between the three melee based attributes and magic based ones. Rather than stacking heavily in one for a specific task like in XI, it'll be vital to have all three in mind.
Also: What the heck is that element chart mean?

Ditto. Can't do any more BCNMs until my stupid refresh scroll sells. Got no more mules to toss them on, and they're deflating in price quickly.
Also nobody wants to do KSNMs /sadface
Gonna see if I can convince some linkshells to lowman KS99 for those still needing their black belt items.
So until then I'm gonna poke XIV beta with a stick...
That is once their servers are back up D:

This one you mean?
By Artemicion 2010-09-15 01:55:58
Yes, but each clan of each race and each class had a different setup and number value to each element, and each level up gave you elemental points to allocate in any given element. If only I knew what it meant and what their values represented.
By Flionheart 2010-09-15 01:58:23
When you put a point into an element you are gaining a small resistance AND adding a small amount of that element to your weapon.
So say you heavily favoured fire? put every point into it, by the end of the game you'd be taking significantly less fire damage and doing significantly more damage with your weapon against ice foes.
The good thing about element point allotment is that you will never heal or do less damage to an enemy due to it, it's all positive.

Your third paragraph erased any worries I had :D
Does this apply to magic as well as physical attacks?
Would be nice to have increased potency in fire spells since anything remotely like a black mage in my eyes just screams pyro :3

Yes you will lol. Your fire spells will do more damage if you favoured fire.
It's basically like magic potency merits. In fact think of the entire level up system as a merit system for every level lol. It's basically allowing you to shape your character into the role you want.
There are ways to re-roll points but it costs skill points to do so.
For example if you click re-assign you will take 2 points off every stat and gain 6 points to allot back into stats.
Alternatively there are permanent abilities you can buy with guild marks which have things like
10 PTY > STR
When you had that equipped, ten of your piety points would instead be put in your STR until you unequipped the ability.
By Flionheart 2010-09-15 02:04:08
There are also other abilities you can buy with guild marks an example is:
"Dmg taken -10%" and "Block time +15%"
You can freely equip and unequip these once purchased as long as you have the ability points to set them.
By Artemicion 2010-09-15 02:04:27
Sounds BLUish now.
I kinda like that, so you can balance and switch things up as your need is changed according to situation.
By Artemicion 2010-09-15 02:06:31
Ability points sound like something accumulated via several battles and are consumable. Or are they something that stack up to a certain value based on your level like in IX?
By Flionheart 2010-09-15 02:07:27

Pretty much. There is a penalty for reassigning points permanently, but not too much.
You get Guild marks by doing special guild leves for whatever guild you want marks from. So for example there may be a conjurer mission to kill a certain amount of enemies in a certain way, completing it would earn 3k~ leves to buy abilities from the guild.
What I like is the fact they are permanent. Once you've got them you've got them. Means there's a sense of completion :D

Artemicion said: Ability points sound like something accumulated via several battles and are consumable. Or are they something that stack up to a certain value based on your level like in IX?
Exactly like IX's system.
As your class rank goes up the amount of ability points goes up, All the abilities I've got atm cost 2 or 3 to set.
You can also set the ability of another class as an enhancement to whatever class you play.
For example if you wanted to tank, you could level up Pugilist get the ability accomplice and then set it when you play gladiator and be able to steal allies enmity.
By Artemicion 2010-09-15 02:09:51
So that way you can go and earn your special abilities related to a specific class, but after you've learned it, it's forever yours to utilize as needed? I like this more and more as I learn; just wish I could put it together in game a little easier lol.
By Flionheart 2010-09-15 02:11:17

That's it exactly lol. It's basically around making the perfect build for yourself.
As a Gladiator you could a marauders blood bath and then be gaining HP as you hit the enemy ^^

The Beta was a bit of a nightmare to tank in due to lag, I'm not playing until retail now anyways.

Good idea. But I love how this system revolves around centralized customization of your own character rather than "right way, wrong way" gear setups like in XI.

Pretty much why I think the game has so much potential lol. I can imagine some of the high level builds being really complex with ability bars full :D
Then you get into the entire battle regimen thing which I've just learned about.

Edit: As of 2010-10-05 14:48:06 CST, Ni reached 10,000 pages.
Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
