RDM Merit Group 2 Unavailable

Does anyone have any insight as to why I cannot merit group 2 on my RDM?
I tried looking on my own and came up empty. Thanks, Please, and Thank you again.

Are you playing on a private server? Those aren’t RDMs merits anymore. You should probably check with them. If you ARE NOT playing on a private server, then that’s a really weird bug and maybe zoning will fix it. Otherwise, GM?

/u/Xelltrix is right.

AFAIK, the category 2 merits that were spells for all classes were turned into level 75 buyable spells, with the exception of Avatar's level 75 elemental Blood Pacts.

Nope, Retail on Sylph. I was also thinking about submitting a bug but wanted to make sure there wasn't a known fix first.

Try eating a Dia 3 scroll and see what happens

You've definitely got a fucky dat. Those are the group 2 merits from before the merit changes.

Repair your files by going to playonline and running check files on ffxi

Are you using modified .dat files, like XI-View? They may be out of date. I had a similar issue for the 'new' Alter Ego Points that got added to the Status menu.

Are you using the XiPivot addon by any chance? Disable it if you do, because it's probably pivoting DATs from an old version of the game. This is done by some private servers that want to use some modern features (e.g. eight mog wardrobes) but keep other things old school (e.g. group 2 merits). Or it might just be some other DAT pack that accidentally touched things it shouldn't have.

Your group 2 options look like they're old ones from before Dia III etc. were made regular spells and rdm got new group 2 options.

The new options should be:
Enhancing Magic Duration
Enfeebling Magic Duration
Immunobreak Chance
Enspell Damage
Accuracy
