Astrologian spread question

[Zeikial]

Pretty sure I'm in combat, not level synched at the moment as it's during northern thanalan fates. now it may be that it's not counting me as in combat there and then, so I'll definitely do some digging.

tl dr: I'm doing something dumb and not realizing it

If your doing fates and you haven't attacked anything your not in combat. You have to actually attack stuff in fates to be considered in combat.
