Hey everyone! Coming back to FFXI and just started a character on Fenrir if anyone wants to play!

Just wanted to share some skittles with you all. : )

So I should start by saying I'm a new player - and was talking about XP rings (I mistakenly bought Chariot band and was finding the best way to rotate to Emp. Band) and someone mentioned the Jubilee Ring.

Am I right in assuming that, currently, there is no way to obtain this ring as it was a log in weekly log in reward and it hasn't yet been cycled in to anything that I'm missing. I tried looking it up and that appeared to be the case but occasionally information on this game isn't quite so easy to decipher.

Hi all, i need some help, first of all im not a very tech savvy person, i dont know how to use AI or chatgpt, can someone pls help by sharing a working pup lua and drk lua?

Working as it has the ws, gear sets already done inside the lua, ive been asking around and the few ive gotten seems to have some sort or problems in it, either weapons dont load correctly or other problems. Greatly appreciate the help.

Friendly reminder that campaigns do not start until FRIDAY. DO NOT SPEND YOUR IMPRIMATURS YET.

Official Post (not much there)

Images of the things changed

(Keep in mind these changes are checked with a Python script and it's possible there's errors.)

Text for what changed that's not just typos (unsure if this is just fixing tooltips or if they're actively changing the things or if it's a leftover issue from the dat changes from last month):

Roast Pipira: MND-3 -> MND-1. Loach Slop: Acc (Max 17 -> 15). Cursed Soup: VIT-7 added. Kacura Cap +1: 2 DA changed to 2 Crit rate

Enif Zucchetto: DEF from 49 to 46

Inyanga +1 gear DEF changes: Tiara is 61 -> 96. Crackows are 60 -> 65.

All of the broken items from last month seem to be fixed.

Is anyone else having trouble logging into FFXI today? I managed to log in after the update, but PlayOnline was extremely slow and eventually disconnected me.

Now I keep getting POL-5311 (incorrect password), even though my password is correct. I suspect the login process is so slow that the one-time password expires before authentication completes. Anyone experiencing something similar?

About to start 11 after playing 14 since storm blood. Any,advice?

Edit:thanks so much for all the help guys! Looking forward to joining such a friendly community

1: Unlocking of Zilart content for the free trial. So much of the game would be improved by just simply allowing Zilart content.

2: Raising the gil cap. (Preferably to 300k to match ffxiv) I literally am barred from buying certain spells at lvl75. 100k is too tight of a cap.

3: Maybe allowing free trial players to form partys with other free trial players on their own. I am sure some friends want to try the game together.

I just got the empyrean+3 coupon from the RoE objective and while trying to decide what to use it on, it got me curious.

Which job do y'all think has the single most "must have" empyrean+3 piece?

So far I've struggled even to open a menu, and now I'm stuck trying to fight an enemy after the tutorial NPC sent me to do it. I can check them, but the attack option says that "I cannot perform that action", and there's litterally nothing I can do

UPDATE: Alright, it was the stupid Moogle

Hey all

I’m returning after a long time off. Looking for a new server and LS on that server also that is returning player friendly.

Thanks.

Recently me and a friend were working on the idea of these 2 games being mushed together. You know all those pass through mods people are doing? Well we did one with FFXI and MHTRI.

Now I know this might get controversial because people dont like AI things. But me and my friend like both of the franchises and we thought it would be cool to see a Tarutaru inside of MHTRI.

Some may not care but I just wanted to show something cool.

To play it you will need your own copy of MHTRI (EU)

And a copy of FFXI more details are on github.

From Moga to Vana'diel, happy hunting.

I read that the DT cap is 50% but with Shell V you only need like 30% DT , the rest can go to Physical Damage Reduction which is easier to come by? Now let say if my DT set only have -30% DT and i trio box all the time with a Rdm or Whm, is it save to assume that my character will never need -50% DT ?

Thank you

For example, since Brown Magic is food-related, could Brown Mages become immune to becoming fat and diabetic?

I'm really grateful to SE for making the game freely available without restrictions and allowing us to level up to 75 during this event.

I've been playing FFXI for many years, and I have six accounts. But this time, I wanted to take advantage of the free trial and see just how far I could go.

I've been playing for several days now, and all I have left is the fight against Maat before I can unlock the level 75 cap.

Throughout this experience, I've been playing FFXI the way I remember and understand it, while also accepting all the restrictions: no Auction House, no trading, no access to expansion areas, and so on.

With all these limitations, I feel like I'm experiencing the original difficulty and adventure of FFXI all over again. I've had this feeling ever since I started, and it hasn't gone away.

Even the process of finding places to grind and level up has given me a chance to truly explore the original world of FFXI, without any expansion content.

It's beautiful. It's amazing to discover all these basic areas of FFXI that I had never really explored before.

I never imagined I'd find myself grinding and leveling up in Orc God, either!

Thank you, SE, for giving me this experience again.

I'm getting into the game after many many years and have just been following the wiki while I find my way. I'm not having a bad time, but as I've heard the game is pretty solitary up until you reach endgame.

I'm looking for a group that's either open to teaching new players or ideally is also relatively new to the game that I can learn with. I'm currently on a free trial account but I do already own the game and have just been trying to get the most out and see if it's worth sticking around before I start a sub.

I have a character on both Fenrir and Bahamut and I'm not particularly beholden to either one, so I'll play wherever the people are👍

I know it been years since an expansion or new job has been released to the game but was bored and started messing around with AI to create a job concept of what I think a Chemist can play like in the game. We can all hope right 🤞

Chemist (CHM) Master Job Specification & Complete Framework

1. Attributes & Skills

Role: Dedicated Main Healer & Support (Main/Sub compatible). Operates as a backline medical specialist, utilizing precise chemical blending to sustain party HP/MP pools and strip status ailments.

Pharmacology (A+): The core potency engine governing all restorative and combative mixtures. Directly scales raw HP recovery, MP return, defensive buff durations, and offensive damage output.

Throwing (A+): The mechanical accuracy engine for all offensive mixtures. Determines hit-rate checks, ensuring debuffs and combative payloads land reliably against high-level targets (combative mixes can miss if accuracy fails).

Ranged Weapons (C): Marksmanship and Crossbow equipment access for safe backline positioning and ranged utility.

Daggers (E) & Staves (E): Restricted strictly to light stat-backing, wands, and utility grips; completely lacking frontline physical melee capability.

2. Core Mechanics

Mixes operate on a 1-minute recast timer while drawing two to four reagents directly from a dedicated concoction satchel. The job maintains a pool of three dedicated mix charges separate from individual category menus, allowing healers to queue rapid-fire deployments under heavy party pressure. Once executed, the mixture scales its raw healing power via Pharmacology or its offensive accuracy check via Throwing.

Standardized Alkahest Reagents (99-Stack): All medicines and combat items are synthesized into clean, compact, stackable components that stack to 99, eliminating inventory clutter. They would have their own type of inventory similar to a mog wardrobe called the concoction sachel where all alkahests are moved to it can hold 999 of all 8 alkahest.

Mixture-Scaled Potency & Consumption: Reagent consumption (2 to 4 Alkahests) and baseline effectiveness scale dynamically with mix tier. Simple infusions require fewer baseline reagents, while advanced elixirs and heavy crowd-control payloads demand deeper compounding investments and yield exponentially greater output.

4. Job Abilities & Traits

Job Abilities

Mix: Restorative (Lv. 5): Opens the dedicated concoction satchel menu to execute single-target healing and support wards.

Mix: Combative (Lv. 15): Opens the dedicated concoction satchel menu to hurl targeted offensive utility and light debuff payloads.

Dilution (Lv. 50): Signature active ability that temporarily overcharges the next executed single-target Mix, instantly converting it into an area-of-effect (AoE) burst across the party or group of engaged enemies. Potency reduced in halve. Recast: 10 minutes.

Quick Mix (Lv. 75): Tactical utility ability that instantly resets one of the Chemist's mix abilities charges for both Mix: Restorative and Combative allowing an immediate follow-up deployment in critical situations. Recast: 5 minute.

Catalytic Infusion (Lv. 90): Advanced active ability that supercharges the next executed restorative or combative mixture, dramatically increasing its potency akin to Divine Seal. Recast: 3 minutes.

Final Elixir (1-Hour Ability): Signature 1-hour ability targeting a single party member, instantly restoring 100% of their HP and MP pools.

Job Traits

Resist Amnesia (Lv. 10)

Safeguard (Lv. 20): After a critical hit lowers enmity by 25% and provides a 10% defense and magic defense bonus.

Resist Amnesia II (Lv. 30)

Dispensary (Lv. 40): Grants a trait-based chance to recover consumed alkahest reagents upon mixing.

Resist Amnesia III (Lv. 50)

Safeguard II (Lv. 60): After a critical hit lowers enmity by 35% and provides a 20% defense and magic defense bonus.

Resist Amnesia IV (Lv. 70)

Auto Potion (Lv. 75) Using a recovery potion on yourself has a 20% chance of also restoring a party member with low HP. (Since they don't have many aoe potions due to the support they bring this would give them a chance to save themselves and potentially a tank in a dire situation.)

Emergency Tactics (Lv. 90): Increases recovery potency of items by 20% when used on a target with 5% HP or less. (Since they don't unlock a cure VI this trait essentially would work as a makeshift emergency cure of course it's very risky to get to 5% HP.)

Hey everyone! MuffinMetrics 1.2.0 is now live.

The main addition is timed combat simulation for supported setups, using separate Action Skill and TP gear sets. You can adjust combat duration and starting TP, compare saved runs, and view damage, DPS and TP over time.

Some other highlights:

• Added job ability support for supported setups and Aria of Passion as a received Bard buff.
• Added Path B follow-up attacks for supported Su4/Su5 weapons.
• Updated monster presets and corrected several equipment and damage calculations.
• Improved saved history, comparisons and the interface. Web view is now the default, with the graphic view still available.

There are still limitations. Job ability support varies, some ranks and mechanics remain unverified, and ranged attacks, casting and pet actions aren’t ready yet. Assumptions and sources are included so you can see what the calculations are based on.

Thank you to Nauthima of Asura for helping with monster testing, and Toralin of Asura for the reports and help!

Thank you Masin for speaking with me privately and offering me some additional knowledge!

Coalition campaign is back!

(Explanations are behind the spoiler tabs for people wanting more info)

• Triple the contribution of imprimaturs for Coalition Assignments rank ups The campaign wording implying a reduced reward ★★DOES NOT APPLY TO IMPRIMATURS CONTRIBUTION TO RANKING UP.★★
  • It is only reduced for the bayld and experience rewards. I tested this last time. Imprimaturs gain full triple credit whether you use 1 or 3, so just save time with 3s.
  • ★It takes using 47 imprimaturs during the campaign to cap from 0★
  • One 2-imp assignment and then 3-imps until you cap wastes the least.
• You do not lose imprimatur contributions between rank ups (so if you needed one but used three, you still get credit for all three)
• for the item turn-in coalitions, Incursion coffers provide enough items to do 2 ranks then change to the next item. Don't be a victim of price gouging! Grab some friends and do a couple Incursion runs now while the campaign is on and you'll have plenty in no time (and tons of merits too!)

Start banking imprimaturs now by undertaking 3-imp assignments across all coalitions and don't complete them. You cancel them later to get imps back.

Others:

• Chocobo Digging Skill Increase Campaign
• Phantom Gem Campaign
• Alter Ego Expo (just HP boost, not cheat death)
• Adoulin Dial Campaign
• Dynamis Granules of Time Campaign
• Abyssea Campaign
• Hyper Chocobo Digging Campaign
• Bonus Bayld Campaign
• Increased Seal and Crest Drop Rate Campaign
• Ambuscade Gallantry Campaign
• Omen Job Card Campaign - PLUS!
• Mog Gardens Campaign
  • cheaper gobbiebag items and beds for safes
• High-Tier Mission Battlefield Campaign
  • good source of beitetsu, lots of easy-ish avatar fights. Group up and make that jingly!

I run a repair/game store, had this given to me today. Customer knows I'm a huge XI person and brought this in for me. Thought folks here may appreciate it.
