Long time ago, people believed in light, and evil embraced darkness... There was a war for the origin of everything, Crystal. The war kept on until either one died. The butiful was destroyed by the evil, the land was ruined and the fresh water got dirty, but before long, people with a strong skill of uniting had a chance to beat them, and when they did there was a peacefull world for a moment. 20 years has passed since then, people started losing their memories of fighting, evil breeze began to flow silently around in Vana'Diel. It is all for the power of Crystal... ==================== 11.0.LOCATIONS ==================== ==================== 11.1.MOG HOUSE ==================== Every player gets a Mog House. In the Mog House you can store items, change jobs etc. If you want to, you can send items to other players. The Mog House is in the Residential Area, and if you're traveling around Vana'Diel and are in another country, you can rent a Mog House for free. ==================== 12.0.KINGDOMS ==================== These are the kingdoms in Vana'Diel: · The Kingdom of San D'oria · The Republic of Bastok · The Federation of Windurst ==================== 12.1.SAN D'ORIA ==================== The Kingdom of San D'oria is where the Elvaan's live. They are proud of their big castle. San D'oria is standing for Vana'Diel's defense, with the mighty Kingdom Nights. ==================== 12.2.BASTOK ==================== The Republic of Bastok is where the Hume's live. The Republic's capital is Bastok. Toghether with the Hume's lives the Galka's. ==================== 12.3.WINDURST ==================== The Federation of Windurst was found by the TaruTaru's. A few years ago, the capital city Windurst was fully recovered after the war. In The Republic of Windurst lives TaruTaru's and Mithra's. Windurst is called the city of magic. ==================== 13.0.RACES ==================== These are the starting stats for every race: Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 8 | 9 | 7 | 9 | 8 |STR DEX| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 9 |DEX VIT| 6 | 7 | 5 | 8 | 6 |VIT AGI| 7 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 8 |AGI INT| 5 | 4 | 7 | 5 | 5 |INT MND| 5 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 |MND CHR| 6 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 13.1.HUME ==================== This race is probobly be the most popular one, one of the reasons is that it's the most versatile race, another reason is that many people want to model their character to look like the PLAYER. The HUME's lives in Bastok together with the GALKA's, and one of the good things with HUME's is that they can be good in all the jobs. I recommend this race to the PLAYER's who's going to switch between many Jobs. Suggested Jobs: All ==================== 13.2.ELVAAN ==================== This race should be the second popular race after HUME. They have more STR, VIT and MIND then the HUME. The ELVAAN's lives in the Kingdom of San'Doria, and as one of the three *Tank races, this one is probobly the best. I recommend this race to the PLAYER's who want's to stand in the frontline in battles with a grand sword. *Tank = Fighter Suggested Jobs: Monk, Warrior, Red Mage ==================== 13.3.TARUTARU ==================== The cutest race of them all, looks like midget mouse-cat persons. But dont underestimate them because they looks cute, because they have enormous magic-power, and they know how to kill someone. The TARUTARU's lives in the Nation of Windurst were the magic flows. This race is for the PLAYER's who want's to learn a lot of magic. Suggested Jobs: Black Mage, White Mage, Red Mage ==================== 13.4.GALKA ==================== This race is big, strong and slow, the opposite to MITHRA. One thing that's common with the MITHRA is that you can play with only one gender, GALKA PLAYER's can only be male and MITHRA PLAYER's can only be female. As I said earlier, the GALKA's lives toghether with the HUME's in Bastok. This race is a perfect Tank race, that stands in the front-line, just slaying monsters with their two meters swords, just because of their high strenght and vitality. I recommend this race to the PLAYER's who wants to be big and strong, and slay many monsters. Suggested Jobs: Warrior, Monk ==================== 13.5.MITHRA ==================== This race is more cat-like than TARUTARU, with their pretty tail and their big eyes. This race is a little special, because the only gender you can play as is female. The male MITHRA's are only NPC's who stays in their home-village all the time. MITHRA's are very fast, with high DEX and AGI, the opposite to GALKA. This race is for the PLAYER who want's to be fast, remember speed can be better than strenght. Suggested Jobs: Red Mage, White Mage, Thief, Monk, Warrior ==================== 14.0.JOBS ==================== (Also called Classes) The starting stats for the starting jobs are below. In Final Fantasy XI you can choose of a whole different jobs. You can have two jobs at the same time, one Main Job and one Secondary Job. The Secondary Job can only have the half level of the Main Job, ex. We say that your main job is Monk and your secondary job is Warrior, then if you have level 10 in Monk you can only have level 5 in the Warrior job. The more a job is equiped, the higher job level you get. You can also switch jobs anytime. You wont get normal levels in FFXI, just Job levels. Every Job get's it's own level. Every Job can wear different wepons/armors, and every Job has different slots for equipment. These are sixteen usual slots: Primary weapon Shield slot / Second weapon slot Head slot Earring slot Earring slot Neck slot Hands slot Ring slot Ring slot Body slot Waist slot Back slot Legs slot Feet slot Range slot Ammo slot ==================== 14.1.WARRIOR ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 8 | 9 | 7 | 9 | 8 |STR DEX| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 9 |DEX VIT| 6 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 |VIT AGI| 7 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 8 |AGI INT| 5 | 4 | 7 | 5 | 5 |INT MND| 5 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 |MND CHR| 6 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 14.2.MONK ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 7 | 8 | 6 | 8 | 7 |STR DEX| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 9 |DEX VIT| 8 | 9 | 8 | 10 | 8 |VIT AGI| 5 | 4 | 6 | 5 | 6 |AGI INT| 5 | 4 | 7 | 5 | 5 |INT MND| 6 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 6 |MND CHR| 6 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 14.3.Thief ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 |STR DEX| 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 10 |DEX VIT| 6 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 |VIT AGI| 7 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 8 |AGI INT| 7 | 6 | 9 | 7 | 7 |INT MND| 5 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 |MND CHR| 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 14.4.WHITE MAGE ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 5 | 6 | 4 | 6 | 5 |STR DEX| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 9 |DEX VIT| 5 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 5 |VIT AGI| 7 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 8 |AGI INT| 8 | 7 | 10 | 8 | 8 |INT MND| 6 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 6 |MND CHR| 6 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 14.5.BLACK MAGE ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 |STR DEX| 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 7 |DEX VIT| 6 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 |VIT AGI| 6 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 7 |AGI INT| 6 | 5 | 8 | 6 | 6 |INT MND| 8 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 8 |MND CHR| 7 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 14.6.RED MAGE ==================== Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- STR| 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 | 6 |STR DEX| 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 8 |DEX VIT| 6 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 6 |VIT AGI| 6 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 7 |AGI INT| 7 | 6 | 9 | 7 | 7 |INT MND| 7 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 7 |MND CHR| 6 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 |CHR ---|----|------|--------|-----|------|--- Hume Elvaan TaruTaru Galka Mithra ==================== 15.0.ADVANCED JOBS ==================== There is some Advanced Jobs in Final Fantasy XI, you'll get them by reaching a high Job level in the different jobs. ==================== 15.1.BARD ==================== This Job is kind of funny. Bard's are singning songs that has different effects on the enemy. ==================== 15.2.RANGER ==================== A shooter Job, like the one in Phantasy Star Online. Has high accuracy, and are skilled in Bows/Guns. ==================== 15.3.DARK KNIGHT ==================== This Job has a creepy name. It uses "Dark Powers" to attack the enemy. Can also use some Black Magic. ==================== 15.4.BEASTMASTER ==================== A cool Job! The Beastmaster has a ability that makes the player contol monsters. It's called "Tame", it makes the monster to your pet. ==================== 15.5.PALADIN ==================== These are the protectors of goodness! Has high defence and big shiny armors.

BATTLE SYSTEM ==================== The battle-system in Final Fantasy XI is very much changed from the previous games. The enemies just dont pop up and a battle-screen comes up, instead you're seeing the enemies in front of you. The battle-system is totaly new. Like you're seeing the enemies, you are also seeing the players fighting against them. And you might be invited to help them. In a party, you can be up to six players. You can also form an alliance wich gives you the opportunity to play with eightteen players (three themes). The one who started the alliance is one leader for the alliance, and there's also a leader for the different themes. The leaders are marked with dots in front of their names. When you're going to fight a enemy, you first have to find one. And when you have, press O to bring up the Action menu. In the Action menu you'll see some different commands. Attack, Cast Spell, Abilities and Use Items. When you choose Attack you'll get locked on the target. Cast Spell will cast a spell, but there is some Casting Time, so it will take some time before the character casts the spell. And the spell will get canceled if you move or if you get hitted by a enemy. If you choose to use an Ability, there will be some waiting time before the Ability is getting used, just like when you cast a spell. When the attack Lock mode is on, the character keeps on doing a Attack until you tell him/her to stop, or using a item/ability/magic. This will be executed and the character will start to attack again. By attacking a enemy from behind, the attack will take more on the targets HP. When the battle is over you'll get EXP, money and items. When the theme get's it's items and money, there is to different ways to split it up to the players. Every player can pick the item it wants, but if someone else also want's to have the same item, the item will automaticly be delivered randomised to one of the player who want's it. If you die, you can choose between waiting to be revived or warp to your Mog House. Every time you die, you'll get a penality, wich takes away some of your EXP (I think it 10% of the EXP you need to reach the next level). ==================== 19.2.QONQUEST ==================== Every country in Vana'Diel want's to rule other countries. Every time you're winning a battle in another country, you're home country will get a point. When you're in a theme every member will gain one point for the home county. By ruling different zones the zone guards will cast good spells on you every time you're passing them. ==================== 18.0.MAGIC ==================== Vana'Diel is a world full of magic. ==================== 18.1.BLACK MAGIC ==================== Magic Effect ---|---------------------|----------------------------------|--- | Fire |Fire damage | | G Fire |Fire damage in big area | | Blizzard |Ice damage | | G Blizzard |Ice damage in big area | | Airo |Wind damage | | G Airo |Wind damage in big area | | Thunder |Lightning damage | | G Thunder |Lightning damage in big area | | Water |Water damage | | G Water |Water damage in big area | | Stone |Earth damage | | G Stone |Earth damage in big area | | Poison |Reduces enemy's HP | | Venom |Reduces enemy's HP | | Desion |Warps to homepoint | | Stop |Stops enemy's movement | | Darkness |Reduces enemy's accuracy | | Sleep |Enemy starts to sleep | | Bio |Reduces enemy's HP | ---|---------------------|----------------------------------|--- Magic Effect ==================== 18.2.WHITE MAGIC ==================== Magic Effect ---|---------------------|----------------------------------|--- | Cure |Cures HP | | G Cure |Cures HP in big area | | Poisona |Cures poison | | Redark |Cures darkness | | Raise |Revives fallen character | | Parana |Cures paralyze | | Stone Skin |Cancels damage | | Protess |Increases defense | | Shell |Increases magic defense | | Vocal |Cures silence | | Vanish |Light damage | | G Vanish |Light damage in big area | | Dia |Target's HP decreases | | S Dia |Target's HP decreases in big area | | Blink |Dodges physical attacks | | Haste |Makes the target faster | | Slow |Makes the target slower | | Siless |Target can't cast magic | | Hold |Paralyzes target | | Aqua Vail |Cancelling magic gets higher | ---|---------------------|----------------------------------|--- Magic Effect ==================== 19.0.SIDE ACTIVITIES ==================== Final Fantasy XI offers some side activities. ==================== 19.1.FISHING ==================== By standing next to a river, you can fish. All you need is a fishing rod and some bate (ex. little worm, lugworm, shrimp). Use the fishing command to start fishing. After a while you'll se a message that says "You got something!". Fish more to gain fishing levels so you can get more rare fishes. ==================== 19.2.CHOCOBO ==================== In Final Fantasy XI, you can ride Chocobo's. For doing this you have to buy a Licence. When riding a Chocbo you can dig the ground for items. The more you dig the higher "Digging level" you get, and the higher digging level you got the more rare items you get. ==================== 20.0.WEAPONS/ARMORS ==================== In Final Fantasy XI there is many different weapons, ex. Swords, Bows/Guns, Staffs etc. I'll write some information about weapons/armors here. For the moment I've only got a little information about the weapons, but I will get more soon. I'll also write a Armor list later.

But Weapon Skills are only for combat. Every weapon has different Weapon Skills. To use a Weapon Skill your TP (Tactical Points) gauge has to be over 100%. Read more about TP at the TP section (19.1.). ==================== 21.1.TP (TACTICAL POINTS) ==================== To use a Weapon Skill, your TP gauge has to be 100%. In other Final Fantasy games, you have a "Overdrive" (FFX) or "Limit Break" (FFVII), and in Final Fantasy XI you have a TP gauge. The gauge will increase by getting hitted by enemies. The gauge can go up to 300%, the higher the gauge gives more damage to the target. But sometimes you will get added effects instead of more damage, this depends on which weapon you are using. But if you wait to long, the gauge will decrease. ==================== 22.0.ENEMY LIST ==================== I've fixed some iformation about the enemies, and what you'll get from them if you kill them.
