    So how often do you find yourself regretting not putting enough points into Vitality to survive a dropkick from the galago you ran into or more points into dexterity as you repeatedly miss the marmot that's chewing your leg off? I'm sure several of you have run into this situation. I'm no exception.

    Final Fantasy XIV gives you the ability to redefine your character's abilities. Say for example you started out a gladiator putting points into strength, dexterity, and vitality which are the key stats of a Disciple of War however you fell in love with the conjurer class. In some games, because of your choices, your stuck with the stats you choose, not so with Final Fantasy XIV.

    To begin the process of Reassigning stats, you need to bring up the Point Allocation ...

    If you are familiar with Final Fantasy XI, you most likely have either been a part of or seen the use of renkei a.k.a. Skill Chain. These were typically a succession of acquired special attacks that, when done properly, would result in an attack that would add a boost of damage against the mob. Battle Regimens in Final Fantasy XIV takes the place of Skill Chains by allowing the players to do coordinated attacks that allow for the mob not only to be attacked but to be given various status effects.

    As of open beta, engaging in Battle Regimen might not always work as they are currently buggy. This guide will be updated as the game is launched into retail, becomes more stabilized, or as more information is found out. ...

    Being a fisher cat, I had better learn how to fish. Fishing in FFXIV is a little more involved then your typical MMO. It isn't a cast and forget type fishing that most games have and as a result makes it a bit of a challange. The the system they have is essentially a hot and cold mini-game. Special thanks to those on Vent who gave me a few tips to get started with.

    Gearing up
    Before you can fish you have to have at least the basic equipment. In Gridania visit Humphrey in the Rosewood Stalls. He provides both Fishing and Mining supplies.

    You'll need at least the following to get started:

    Weathered Fishing Rod
    The fishing rod is equipped to your Main slot.
    660 gil

    For fishing in rivers, ponds, or streams ...

    For those of you who listened to our first podcast (and if you haven't, stop reading this, go subscribe to the podcast, listen to both, and come back!), you know that my #1 wish for FFXIV was for there to be no differences between the races. From what I knew of the armory system it seemed like there really shouldn't be, and I was comforted.

    So - imagine my surprise when I saw this posted on FFXIVcore.com today. ...
