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

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?

r/ffxi FAQ

Are you a new or returning player? We have quite the list of Frequently Asked Questions that's pretty comprehensive of the questions most commonly asked around the sub. If your question isn't answered there, feel free to shoot in the comments below.

BG Wiki

BG Wiki is a modern FFXI wiki with up-to-date pages on endgame specifics as well as various guides.

It is currently the only XI wiki with an active staff which are always working with members of the community to address concerns and suggestions. BG seeks to be the main wiki of the community. Consolidating the efforts of everyone into one single wiki is the most productive and effective. We welcome and invite all to join us!

• A thread can be found on FFXIAH.com in which you can report issues with the wiki and read a getting started FAQ if you wish to contribute! That thread is located here.
• Anyone wishing to join Team Blue Gartr may join the Discord.

FFXIclopedia

• FFXIclopedia

FFXIclopedia is a comprehensive general-purpose wiki for FFXI that typically covers pages for each item/area/BCNM/etc, often for older content. Warning: The site has heavy ads when logged out.

FFXIAH & FFXIDB

• FFXIAH
• FFXIDB

FFXIAH is a website showing the Auction House history & current items for sale in-game, as well as a forum community among other things. FFXIDB is a database website showing drop rates of items as well as monster spawns based of player data collected by Guildwork.

Making Friends

• Subreddit Discord

There are various ways to make new friends and meet people in FFXI. The first recommendation is to find a Linkshell via Linkshell Concierge NPCs. If you check these NPCs directly after a maintenance, this is typically a good way to find active Linkshells. Another suggestion is to find a community website for your server; many servers have a Facebook group.

I remember when you unlocked it, there was a CS where Diabolos spoke to you but then after beating Dyna Tav there was no epilogie cutscene after. What was the point of it, and the KI for beating the zone, back then?

TL;DR version: I've made Elvaan and Mithra naming guides with lists of all existing character names (plus their FFXIV counterparts) so you can build your own character names from a confirmed lore-compliant base.

The Elvaan guide also covers resources for building from real-world names and attempts to track down name origins for the existing character names.

---

With the expanded free trial announcement, it seemed like a good time to share some in-depth character naming guides I have been working on. I'm an FFXIV player, not an FFXI player (yet) so it has been written from that perspective and the lore section of the guide only covers FFXIV, but since the naming conventions are shared across both games, you'll still be able to make use of these for naming purposes.

While I don't have direct experience of FFXI, I've dug deep into wikis (and in some cases cross-checked quest videos) to find and verify as many names as I can.

Guides I've made so far with FFXI relevance:

• Elezen and Elvaan
• Moonkeeper and Mithra
• Near Eastern (used by Hume and Elvaan in relevant regions) – see part 3 for FFXI names; needs updating, see notes below.

I'm currently working on a Roegadyn/Galka guide and hoping to have that done in the next few weeks.

---

I also need some help with how to group Hume names for a future guide (and updating the Near Eastern one with more names I found).

Specifically, some Humes in Bastok have real-world names from the regions that Near Eastern names are based on, but there's a big mix of sources for Hume names, so what I need to know is whether the real-world origins of Hume names (other than definite Near Eastern and Far Eastern ones) are indicative of them coming from different countries/regions of Vana'diel or if they're just a big mix with no significance to them having European or Native American or Arabic names.

---

Anyway, I hope the guides will be helpful for people, and would love to hear any thoughts and suggestions you have on improving the guide or information, or if it has helped you find a name that you like.

Hello! I am looking for friends on fenrir, I came back about a month ago, ish, after not playing since back in the day and even then I didnt play seriously because I was like, 8, but I knew what I was doing sort of things so I remember alot, everything added after 2012ish I am absolutely clueless and learning as I go. I got some jobs to 99 and working my way through the stories etc. Has anyone got an LS I can join to have the social aspect of the game too? I play solo 99% of the time and with a family member when they're on, but when they're not on it get's kind of boring not having the social aspect too. I am nowhere near ready for "endgame" (being i don't actually know what that is these days), I just want a place to talk to people while on my travels and grinding away, so if anyone has an LS that is active and can accept a clueless returnee so I can have friends, please let me know! I tried the concierge but all of the ones its tried are like, professional endgamers and I feel lost just being in there lol.

Thank you for reading, have a good day. 💙
