I never pay attention to my XP in FATES but last night I was doing that dark devices fate the first part where no one wants you to kill the lambs. and the chat screen kept telling me i was getting 500-1k xp per kill from the mobs but my xp would not increase. and even after the fate completed I got the standard 12k xp from getting gold.
Did they Patch that fate? or was I just glitched?

Is there a way to remove just 1 materia, or will the NPC remove all of them? I made a weapon for my SCH and melded it, but forgot that the HQ put it at MND cap.

Fairly sure it just removes them all, I will double check today and update this post
edit: Yeah little goblin just removes it all, also you do NOT get the materia back "The materia attached to x was successfully removed but destroyed in the process"

I really don't like this. I mean I get it. They don't want the markets to be flooded and want prices to be stable and high for the higher end materia. But there should be a chance to receive the materia. even if its like 10% or a way to sell gear that is already spiritbound.

I think SE was afraid of the market being heavily unstable on the legacy servers and the immediate excess supply could cause it to crash/rise like nobody's business. I wouldn't toss out old gear or materia just yet, I could see SE changing this in the future.
Though it looks like most materia prices are low, aside from a few. Can't wait til higher tiers are available!

Question: My FFXIV account has been called invalid. Every time I try to log in (only tried a few times today) it keeps coming up with an invalid message, and a notice from early august, saying for early participants to register before august 30th.
It's like my entire FFXIV account has been erased without notice. My CC is good and all that, so I was wondering if anyone else had the same problems.

Think someone was suspended a while for RMT activity (crafter with lots of gil and some RMT bought an item from him) and then couldn't log on or something. Maybe call SE?

My account had the same thing, checked my emails and apparently someone got access to my account, so I got an email asking for a password reset request. I did so and bought a security token then did a full scan with antivirus software to see if any keyloggers or anything was on.
I have been totally useful today!

I play on PS3 since it's more comfortable to my gaming style than pc. Still waiting to hear back from customer service.
Edit: I don't really have much crafting done, I think my highest is level 5 carpenter. I was close to opening my 4th job, Paladin (already opened Dragoon, Monk, and Warrior jobs).
There was also no notification email.

I have a question about the D-pad lock for the gamepad. Is there a macro command that will toggle it on/off?

October 15th for server transfers. Characters on legacy servers can only move to other legacy servers. Characters on 2.0 servers can move anywhere

Do higher level mining nodes allow you more gathering attempts?
I hit 25 Miner last night and got "Deep Vigor" (for those unfamiliar with it, it increases the chance of gaining a Regular or HQ item [I assume that means "We'll give you an item"] to 100%, after Chain 4) and can't find anywhere that will allow me 6 gathering attempts. I've found some nodes that allow me 5 as long as I have >=75 MND, but aside from Leves I've not seen anywhere that allows 6.

Botanist has nodes with extra attempts, gathering rate bonuses, HQ rate bonuses, etc. you should be seeing them soon if not now.
The ability you speak of gives you a sixth, it will become usable on your fourth consecutive successful attempt, use it before your fifth attempt and you should get a sixth.

Probably, I just saw him on one of my trips through Ul'dah and took some photos :D I have no actual idea what was happening XD

Well, that sucks D: At 25 I got 2 abilities, one gave me another gathering attempt (for 300GP) and the other gives me a guaranteed item at Chain 4, for free. Kinda sucks that you have to use both - along with possibly a Sharp Vision to get your initial gathering rate up to get a Chain 4 semi-reliably.
Much appreciate the help though! :D

From the "fix speed runs and not the real problem?" thread
camate said: Greetings,
We're planning to release a hotfix next week that we'll use to address and adjust a few elements.
One of the adjustments regards the regular monsters in level 50 dungeons and how there is currently no reason to defeat them.
We'll be announcing additional details about the hotfix details soon!

I remember seeing GMs in Youtube videos as Urianger, when he still had the Arcanist staff. I think he still had it in Phase 3.

What's the exp bonus to joining a group for fates? I kinda keep to myself until server transfers are up and just a bit curious.
I've been noticing a lot of topics being created lately that are asking a single question that only requires a single answer. I think it would be beneficial for everyone if we could group those single answer questions into a single topic.
We've done this previously with FFXI, and it worked out very well, and I believe it will for XIV too. So if you have a question that is something like this:
What Body equipment should I wear for my level 25 Archer?
or this:
Where can I find Sylvan Scream for the Order of the Twin Adder Hunting Log #5?
They would fit very well into this topic. However, if your question is much more complex, where the answers are more opinions than facts, where there never is just one single answer, then creating your own topic might not be a bad idea. Please try to find a topic related to your question before creating your own. It's very likely that someone has already created a topic, or even a news topic, that matches your question. You can browse the forum searching in sections relevant to your question, or you can search the forum using keywords to describe it. You can even search within this topic to see if someone asked your question before, chances are they have. The search box is located at the top right of every page.
If you have a question, but you are afraid to ask because you think it's too silly of a question to ask, just know we are here to help you. The purpose of this topic is to share knowledge with each other, so we can help each other out.
However, if you think it's funny to bash someone for asking a question, hating on them, calling them out, this is not the forum for you. This topic is to help players and educate them on the knowledge they are seeking. They might not know nearly as much about the game as you do, but that doesn't mean you have to be rude. We've all been newbies, it's personally my favorite experience of a game, and asking questions can be intimidating when other players are years ahead of you in experience.
Asking questions shouldn't be intimidating, it should be fun! Try to have fun and be respectful to each other, and please respect the forum and help reduce clutter on the front page and the forum itself.
Useful Websites:
Square Enix Account Management System - Old, still running but you should be using Mog Station instead. SE is trying to push everyone to use it, and it will be the only the system we use for XIV shortly. Click the image below for Mog Station, and put it in your bookmarks.
also:

Community site for News, and your character profile
General Information... for everything: XIVDB, very good site.
Server Status: ARR Status, a very good site, even has an android app if you're into that.
Wiki: XIVWiki, not sure how good it is yet really.
Wiki: Gamer Escape Wiki, the aftermath of the FFXIclopedia team, not sure how they're doing right now.
Please post or PM me if you know other websites that I can list. Thank you!
