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?

Use the file check option in the FFXI Config Tool. This will fix issues the main menu file check won't.

I ran the check and it didn't find anything.

Well.. the only other explanation is you have swapped DAT files. File check doesn't always pick them up.

But I can assure you i've seen these effects and they are working. So it must be something on your end.

What is the dat file number for it so I can check in the folder that it's in from a new download and check it? Like I said I was seeing the effect both with my rod and others fishing and then a month later when I fished again I didn't. I never changed any dat files myself.
