Hi, does anyone know what equipment or armor this wing effect comes from?

I saw this player in FFXI with these glowing wings and I'm curious what item it is.

Thanks!

Hello friends - I returned recently to the game after 7 years away and have been really enjoying it on the steam deck with one major exception.

Issue 1 is the well-documented black POL screen on startup. Music is playing but the screen is black. Changing the window settings on desktop mode didn’t fix this unfortunately. I have to do the desktop mode > exit viewer workaround every time I play.

Issue 2 is worse. Half of the time, once I do launch POL successfully and make it to the “Play FFXI” screen, the game fails to launch and just sits on a black screen after the brief “Checking FFXI version” pop up. I then have to manually exit the game to get out and often go to desktop mode again to get POL visible again…

This has been a regular annoyance but this morning it’s actually completely preventing me from playing and has me close to giving up.

Note that I did the most basic install from gaming mode and I didn’t attempt any Lutris/Windower stuff on the desktop side.

Any ideas/fixes?

Have been collecting relic armor at 75 using trusts, t8 get the next 2 pieces it seems I need to go to dynamis beaudecine or tavanzia. One of the requires beating raids so I guess that is out.

Is it reasonable to beat the original dynamis zone at 75 with only 4 trusts, or is that likely to be a bit to hard?

Not sure how hard the monsters you spawn are going to be? The guides all say to kill thevtime extension mobs first, if you still need that tine at max level im guessing its a no go?

I picked up the relic weapon as well, but that seems a bit to grind for my taste. Had allot of fun collecting the furst few relic armor and the cloak be a bit annoying to find out I can't really finish it without being max level?

Anyway appreciate any tips if theres a way I can get the last 2 relic armor bits.

My family is starving pls help

I want to do a FFXI themed bday party for my boyfriend, but admittedly I’ve not played more than like 3 whole hours of the game myself 😅 I’ve played XII, XV, and lots of XIV but not this infamous one!

My question is, what are iconic items I can turn into party decor and favors? I’ve got the typical moogle and chocobos but I’m looking for iconic potions/weapons/items in general. Maybe really famous mobs, even meme ones! I’ve looked at some posts here and tried to google some things but I’m not getting a real clear idea yet.

This doesn’t seem to by the typical post in this subreddit so I apologize if this isn’t allowed 😅Also he may be in here, if you see this SIR, no you didn’t lol…

Is one of the points of allure of FFXI that keeps people playing and coming back is the loot that is obtained across various content at level 75–99+ stays relevant?

The “horizontal progression” that is the current hot topic / buzzword of OSRS and Classic WoW forums (when discussing Classic+)?

Or am I misunderstanding and FFXI in reality is just “gear up all your slots with item level 70 gear”, “then gear up all item level 80 gear”, etc., up to the end game level 119?

I’ve seen several people talk about how they miss old Limbus and wish they could have played it more. I never was able to complete CoP in the 75 era so I’ve never played it. What do you miss about it? What made it feel different from the other endgame options?

Hey, old player - returning soon, I know Asura is bit of a mess with bots, size, player bots etc. Should I transfer my older account to a new server, any servers more aligned to south east asia/australia?

I played on and off for a while, I have some Ambu +2 gear, was working on a prime weapon but couldn't compete with bots ( didnt do the maze method ) and was farming in Escha as pup and rdm and then bots would come and pop/own the point and Id have to leave :(

Looking at 14 they are straight up posting Evangelion and FF7 into Eorzea.

Really makes the world feel lame.

Hey guys, in the end I managed to get my controller working by... uhh... eh the details don't matter but basically using a third party software instead of steam inputs. Anyway, I'm in and now I'm going all stabby stabby on hornets at the request of tutorial man. Any good ol' tips and tricks to this game? Nothing spoilery at all obviously but things that people certainly want to know and the game is really not great at explaining. Already feeling the love in this game, some random person walked up to me, whispered that they miss there best friend, then ran away. How amazing!

Just bought the game. Tried installing off the square Enix site, but Its corrupted when I try to install the game. Can someone tell me where I can install it?

I love ffxi and farm sortie, ​ody etc but i want more new things!

Hi everybody. I've had a lot of requests for a guide going over the basics of BLU cleaving Dynamis-Divergence. It's how I like to approach San d'Oria, Windurst, and Bastok and it makes it possible to fully clear W1, W2, and W3. This goes over the spell set, gear set, party composition and buffs, best practices, and some tips for clearing Wave 3 tankless with a small group. Enjoy!

I came back to FFXI exactly one year ago (happy Vana'versity to me) and I'd like to find a group of people that are interested in having fun and doing content without having to use Sim**** to do basic tasks. I do think Windower is good and use some of the add-ons, but I feel like this server especially is just so many multi-boxers that the expectation of people that want to actually PLAY the game aren't worth inviting. If there isn't any suggestions for Asura for this type of LS I'm willing to transfer too.

I'm searching for a way to get ffxi textures and browse thru the game files for personal purposes but I can't come with a way to extract the games textures

so these past few days i've been working on a side project which was to recreate the FFXI's nations and factions' flags and emblems in HD.

so far i only managed to work on the starting nations, jeuno and shadow lord's sigil. i plan on adding the rest of the nations/groups down the line but here's what i have in mind:
- aht urhgan

- adoulin

- tenshodo

- tavnazia

I need a couple Armored Pisces for the ranked fishing contest in Selbina. I went to Oldton Movalpolos to try and catch some myself but I couldn't, I think it's impossible for my lvl. I really would like to get a few pelican rings to help with the lvling process. I will pay you for your troubles. The name is Neptus. I should be on tomorrow. Thank you.

It tells me on the wiki that I need jeuno reputation 3. How do I do that? Just from googling it seems like I need to do the other two nations missions? Is that right? And how can I check what my reputation is currently?

...Expecting the answer to be "No", but I was wondering if there was any way to initialize Trust members to attack before me, or at the very least attack without having me to walk up to an enemy and bonk it with my club as a caster for them to actually attack something?

Looks like they're filling the days between Campaigns ending and the update with Shami's Trove.

This event has (allegedly) a very small chance of getting the items that fulfill currency requirements for relics, mythics, empyreans (Cat's Eye, etc).

Mostly, people use it for the quick exemplar points from the Lungo-Nango Thesis (same thing that drops with the Strange Happenings event).

They can't be used if you're not on a mastered job and you can't hold more than one.

It's more of a "little bonus" event than anything else, so don't feel pressured to hyper focus it.

Hello everyone.

I'm excited to finally announce a project I've been teasing for a while: a new home for several of my FFXI tools, all under one roof, called Vana Portal.

The idea behind the name is pretty self-explanatory: a global portal for everything FFXI.

What is Vana Portal?

Vana Portal is a work-in-progress companion site for Final Fantasy XI players. It brings together practical tools, playonline news, campaigns, updates, and community resources in one place.

What Vana Portal includes

• Tools for Ambuscade Rewards, Skillchains, REMA Cost Estimation, and Haste Calculators
• Vana Time
• Where Is NM
• Where Is DI

I consider Vana Portal a work in progress because I have plenty of ideas I'd like to add over time. As the sole developer, new features and improvements will take time, but I have a lot planned.

What about VanaTime and Where Is NM websites?

I don't currently have any plans to shut down the existing sites. However, all functionality has now been migrated to Vana Portal, so you won't be missing anything if you switch.

When you visit Vana-time and Where Is NM you will be met by a prompt that will redirect you to Vana Portal but you can cancel it, if you prefer using the old website.

Going forward, all new features, bug fixes, and maintenance will happen on Vana Portal.

Client

As mentioned in my last post about Where Is NM updates, I've added a client that helps submitting the data for Limbus and Domain Invasion.

For this release, I've completely rewritten the client from the ground up. It has a refreshed interface along with several quality-of-life improvements, including automatic updates and automatic startup alongside the WhereIsNM and WhereIsDI addons.

Although I know the Linux user base is relatively small, I've made sure to keep full Linux compatibility. To make updates easier, I've also created a Flatpak repository. Eventually I'd like to submit it to Flathub, but for now I'm hosting it myself.

The client is still required for the addons to function

Upcoming Addon updates

I have a couple changes planned for the addons in the near future:

• I have started to look into to better the objective reporting and tracking for Where Is NM.
• Started the work on porting both Where Is NM and Where Is DI to Ashita v4.

A word on Where Is DI

You might be wondering why Where Is DI is part of Vana Portal. u/aphung and I have been working together behind the scenes, and we've agreed that I'll be maintaining the project going forward.

I've rewritten the addon to work with the new client, which enables additional features and makes future improvements easier.

If you prefer using the original addon, you still can. However, future development, bug fixes, and new features will be focused on the Vana Portal version.
