So I'm stuck.

When I first started FFXI, I used a logitech controler. Now I'm tired of the controler (and it's kinda broken :lol: )

I can't get the + sign to open my Set Spells menu for BLU.

I play on a laptop and thus no number pad. I use the compact keyboard setting. Although magically the - sign works, the + won't do a thing.

I've searched the web, held the shift button and all the other ctrl alt buttons, pressed the + sign, and even used magic words just in case. I tried a mapping program too and that didn't work. No dice.

Anyone know a command to let me go right to the Set Spell menu? Thanks!

Usually what I do, because I used to have this issue with my laptop is to double click on a mouse with that scroll button because it opens up for "Main Menu". Then I would go to config >Misc. 2>change it to compact and then pick movement .
Scroll down in the "movement menu" till you see "Open Main Menu" and pick a key that works for you.

Usually with laptops without numpad there will be some shortcut to open up for numpad or that's what my laptop has anyways - but it's a bit annoying, so changing the shortcut for "Main Menu" is a better choice or buy a full size keyboard for your laptop like I did :)

Logitech makes a horrible controller. I used to go through them every 3-6 months. If you still want to go the controller route, you could always buy a PS2-to-USB converter and just use a PS2 controller instead. 8-)

If you have a 360, and one of your controllers is wired... then you can just plug that thing into your pc to use ( you need to download a little software for the pc but it's not hard to find).

Think there's something you can do with your wireless one but I forget what you need to do for that one >.<

I gave in and got a nice keyboard for my laptop.

With a controller it was hard to type anyway. Let alone walk away and have the rumble sound like a jack hammer on the desk.

Neighbor: What's that sound?

Me: er...Nothing.

FFXI is my secret porn. :oops:
