    Light Shot & Mole Meat

    Not sure where else to put this..
    The description on Light shot is wrong the Recast says 4.5 seconds when in fact it has >1 second

    Also the description on "Mole Meat" reads "a skinned mole". I feel it should either be "A shank of Mole meat" or "A skinned mole flank".

    You might want to check this one more closely.

    When your recast timer for light shot expires, are you able to use the ability straight away, or do you still have to wait until 4.5 seconds after you last used the ability for it to actually work?

    I say this because there is a known bug that causes recast timers to incorrectly display, with the deviance from the advertised time slowly increasing every time you cross server boundaries within the game (ie: from Emerald Moss to Treespeak or from northern Ul'dah to Central Thanalan). The bug doesn't cause the recasts themselves to change - just their display. The bug is resolved by restarting the FFXIV client.

    Of course if that is not what you are experiencing, we may indeed have a loc error on our hands (I don't play archer so I wouldn't be able to test this myself).

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't light shot timer effected by the speed of your bow ? If your bow speed is 4.3 then light shot is 4.3.

    But yea, could be experiencing the above bug as well.

    Hello Koga_Edge,

    The help text for the mole meat has been fixed and should be implemented in patch 1.21.

    As for the Light Shot recast time, this text is automatically generated, so I'll have to take your bug to the Almighty Keeper of the Algorithms...who happens to sit a few booths down

    Thanks for the report!
