    Gaol, for example, doesn't seem to be liked by my auto-spell check but it's a word and you can look it up in the dictionary. Anyone who doesn't know what a word means that happens to be the subject of a sentence or paragraph should probably look it up if they don't know. Google will tell you right quick. It's archaic, but they used in in XI so no reason not to use it in XIV, I guess.

    Also your later use of "TL;DR" is pretty ... rude considering you wrote a pretty TL;DR post or two yourself.

    If you want to make clear and succinct points, try to be less condescending.

    Waah, waah, wahh, do you know what I hear?

    Lol wow this is so dramatic it's mind blowing.

    The NPC did not LIE to you... it's just poorly worded.
    Get over it, it's a small thing.

    Can you believe they're more concerned over the vague text than pretty much every other aspect of this game's flaws? lol

    They aren't invisible... they disappear off your list when you turn them back in because you no longer need to do them and you have returned them to the proper NPC. Also when you are grabbing the leves the NPC tells you:

    "You can accept "whatever number" more local guildleves at this time."

    If he's saying you can't grab no more simply do /clock, BOOM you get::

    Timer Reset:
    Guildleve: "time left till reset here"

    There ya go, simple and oh so easy fix!!


    I thought the 36 hour reset was general knowledge... ah well now you know and knowing is half the battle. The other half is Red lasers and blue lasers.

    Gaol is pronounced like "jail". Jail is just the current day spelling of "gaol".

    Hey guys your wrong it isn't writtent incorrectly, poorly, nor gives misinformation. You just reading it wrong or taking it to literally. This is a short hand term, and serves its purpose. I gave several examples of how it is correct. The phrase "at a time" does not mean what OP said it does. It is hard for me to explain it well. So I will go with my movie rental example.

    Yo go to a new movie rental place and ask, "how many movies can I rent out" He will reply " you can only rent out three movies AT A TIME" This doesn't always mean you rent three come back rent three more. But for every time you do rent out movies you can get 3.

    Another exampke again, is the lioness giving birth to cubs. Which they tend to give birth to, two cubs at AT A TIME. does this mean they have non stop babies? no. It means every time they do become pregnet and give birth it is typicall only 2 cubs. (or more it been a while).


    So again what npc said is correct info. Just you lot missunderstood it, and took it to literal.
