Works for me still here.

Things that come to mind: Run the file checks (both via the FFXI config utility and PlayOnline Viewer) and make sure no 'lockstyle{set}' is being applied.

The issue is still happening. I tested with lockstyle off and on. I ran the file check in PlayOnline Viewer, it gave me 2 choices for where to run the file check. I did both. It found issues and repaired POL.exe for one check and a few different .dat files from the other file check I had it fix. Is there a specific file for the glow effect of the rods I can take from a new game download that I then could replace in the folder to see if it's just that file?
