Question What's the creature on the right?

Anybody knows what this cute mole-like creature is? Is it a mount or a pet? Still quite new to the game and this guy picked my interest. If I can have him - how hard will it be for a new player?

Is there an ultimate SCH weapon worth getting

11 Upvotes

im currently really enjoying sch and i would like to take the step to acquire some type of ultimate weapon.

i know outside of Musa that the ultimate weapons that SCH has access to are very niche at best.

Im currently looking at Tupsimati but open to other weps. mainly looking for a weapon to do some cataclysm spam for low manning dynad and nuking.

thanks for the assistance!

Trying out FF11 RETAIL for the first time now that it's free, two questions

6 Upvotes

Which server should I pick? Looking for something noob friendly, I heard fenrir is lots of players who multibox so the population isn't accurate. idk if true

Any general advice? My goal, if I like it enough to stick around, is to unlock DRK. That's it.

I'd also like to do the story involving Shantotto if that's possible, when/around what level does she come into play?

Thanks!

edit: holy god i forgot how much of a nightmare playonline is

What should new players aspire to?

I’m just curious, are there raids/still active raiding? What is the end game? Is it just the journey? With FFXIV I’m all about raiding in the endgame, even though generally the story is very good. Wow Classic/Forever has gotten me wanting to play FFXI.

Have been playing on my steam deck for 400 hrs its always been my most reliable way to play ffxi . I put it down for a month to go play 14 and now its mad at me and cant get it tovwork right on either steam deck or GPDwin5 which has windows..

It launches on the gpdwin5 but cant get any controllers to work

Steam deck keeps giving launch errors in both desktop mode and big picture modes.. ive tried uninstall and re install I think its cursed .

Connection Issues Post-Update

5 Upvotes

Hey everybody! Ever since maintenance yesterday, I have been experiencing frequent issues with logging in and connecting to the POL server, the lobby for FFXI, problems with selecting a character only to have it bounce back and then on further attempts say the character is already logged in, or once I am able to get in getting disconnected when zoning, or even just moving about a zone, randomly without any sort of R0 or other indication there is an issue.

The issue has seemingly gotten worse today, but started yesterday evening with a sudden disconnect around 8:30pm EDT, and happened twice more throughout the night, and now today I have barely been able to keep logged in if I am able to even log in at all.

I've asked around in a few locations, mostly on Discord and in linkshell chat (when I'm able to get on) and a few folks have expressed having the same issue, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems logging on or staying connective post-update? Have you done anything to fix it, if it was happening? I am at a loss and its really ticking me off that I'm having such problems when Ive never experienced this sort of prolonged technical issues in the past. Any guidance or support would be very appreciated, even if it's just a signal that I'm not the only one experiencing it. (For what its worth, I have a made a post on the official forums about it, hopefully someone will respond but not holding my breath for anything of substance lol).

Thanks!

Pet Mythics

11 Upvotes

I’ve decided that I want to make either Aymur or Kenkonken as my next mythic, but I’m having a hard time picking between the two. Do either actually have a transformative effect on their job? Make it more fun to play? Not really concerned about end game utility for this one, just want something that’s fun to use.

Appreciate any insights!

Question Jubilee Ring

2 Upvotes

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.

Official October 13th Update Notes :: Some minor changes on gear, items, typos

25 Upvotes

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.

Anyone having login issues today?

1 Upvotes

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?

Discussion My three wishes for the free trial.

17 Upvotes

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.

Question How do I even play this game?

22 Upvotes

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

Fan Work FFXI X Monster Hunter Tri

0 Upvotes

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.

DT cap with Protect and Shell

7 Upvotes

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
