Cool Game GlitchesFollow

I would like to start this trhead to find out what cool game glitches other people have encountered in this game so far. I have encountered more than anyone on our LS as of yet, so I have dubbed this new skill my "Neo" skill. (Matrix reference lol)

Here is what I have encountered so far:

1) Sold a backplate at AH and was paid 2x for it - only had 1 listed!

2) Fell off the Airship omw to Kazham - was using a top down view trying to get a better look at the ground and I fell off the edge - people on the ship started saying - wtf - thought you just jumped off! I only fell a few feet and was "walking on air". Moments later, the airship docked in Kazham and I was safely warped onto the dock.

3)On a different trip to Kazham (did not fall off the ship this time lol) However...I had a FULL party with me and jsut walking towards the Jungle, and I fell through the deck! My friend who was right behind me looked for a hole (like the one in Ghelsba or Giddieus (can't remember which it is)), but found none. Then While I was under the deck looking for another way up or a way to zone, I fell in the ocean!! The was uber cool! I have some FFXI scuba picks now with fishies and all! I then walked out into the ocean and found a sand bar - looks like walking on water hehe. Tried logging out, but that did not work, when I got back we called the GM to help. While waiting, the airship docked again so I went to it (from under water) to see what would happen, and when it left, I was teleported safely back onto the dock again. The GM finally came msg'd me and I told him the story.

BTW - I have awesome screen shots to commorate the event lol.

Looking forward to my next "Neo" moment. Anyone else have any "Neo" moments?

while i was sitting up against a wall in 1st person camera view, and the camera switched to the level of my eyes, i pressed NumberKey 5 to change the camera view to 3rd person. now i see two pairs of eyes looking back at me!

it was kinda spooky actually.

(note: the camera views may have been switched in my recollection but try it and see if you get the same thing~)

You can hit fish and run for a short bit =)

I can stick my pole over tarus and galkas...it's pretty funny, I got my LS member to take a screeny of my bent rod over a taru doing the panic dance.

Priceless.

The cost of getting Final Fantasy XI?

$50.

The opportunity to view the inside of a Wild Dhalmel?

Priceless.

Here's the pic, 67 KB.

Edited: Honestly, SilentSamurai, I didn't see your use of the word "Priceless" and certainly didn't copy off it.

I was inside the Treants more than a couple of times.

I have pictures of a "Hill lizard" standing on the top of a little tree in the Wadi as I fought it. It's actually using it's poison attack when I took the picture. Looks like the lizard was meant to be in the tree. :)

Hehe, its so funn falling through in Kazham... although i didnt have fun waiting so long for the GM to get me to teh deck :P

The only ones I've seen are things getting stuck in trees or ending up at the top of trees (it's usually grapplers for the latter) and seeing the inside of baddies. And also sometimes when I use my crossbow I end up holding out my greatsword or sword and pointing it at the enemy instead of the crossbow. Which makes for a good screenshot.

The getting 2x the amount was more than likely some one who feels dumb now, not a glitch. I myself have fallen through the floor in Kazham recently, had to get a GM to teleport me out each time. Group I was in laughed so hard at me, Linkshell didn't even beleive me when I told them lol. The falling off the airship thing would be cool to see but never happened to me before. So far I haven't found many glitches in this game. Nice Pics btw wish I could have been there to see that.

If you're a beastmaster, sometimes if you send your pet to attack something on a hill, the pathing gets all screwy and they both do this hilarious little dance around each other. They start circling and snapping at each other like rabid dogs.

OK, I installed FFXI to the default path, and therefore have a really long location. Anyway, here is the location of the screenshots on your PC (if default installed).

C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\PlayOnlineViewer\pub\<yourpcname>\open\ScreenShots\FinalFantasyXI\

Where <yourpcname> seems to be different based on the user cofig or something.

BTW - there is a limit on how many screen shots you can have in here at one time, so you might want to make a batch file that moves them elsewhere if you tend to take many.

I was fighting this gob somewhere, and since I'm an elf I clearly outranked the poor guy when it comes to heigh. But since he wanted it to be an equal fight he decided to climb the nearest hill and fight from there, eye to eye :P

I seen the deck one and wyren one too ^^
Although I was stuck under the deck in Windhurst Water.
Had a japanese guy climbed into the boat at Selbina near the beach, was funny seeing him panic too ^^
But the favourite bug has to be the climbing bug. It's a good way to avoid death when you are soloing, good think they fixed the bug though ^^;

I zoned once, and died. Full HP. Just died. Nothing chasing or attacking me. You know when in a party and someone in your PT zones to your zone. Their HP is red 0 and then health goes up. Well, they said they seen it like usual, but my hp didnt go up. It was in a town too. I looked at my xp and didnt see that i lost any xp, none that i could tell anyway, not like I new the exact amount i had. No worries, a bunch of whm were in the town, they came to laughing asking wtf. Got a raise.
