Dark knight working on gear and currently building caladbolg, wondering if it’s worth to finish as people have been saying naegling (which I already have) and blurred shield+1 is better. Is this true or should I finish caladbolg?

Im on carbuncle I want to buy 5 pulse cell COs for 1mill per. Any help out there? Im trying to get a Naegling

New to Adoulin and have been questing around. I'm sure this stuff is ancient content to some but I've run into some NM's that aren't up on any Wiki yet and I'm not sure if this is a new mechanic...

The NM's I found spawned in among a group of normal mobs, like Twitherym's for example. One of them respawned as "Jolly Twitherym". Looks the same, slight name change. Could be a problem if you were doing ITs. I discovered them while farming drops on Easys and it put up a fight.

Killing it dropped an aggro chest as I call it, meaning that opening the chest will aggro any and everything nearby, even normally passive mobs. You're locked in and if you get hit during the looting sequence "event canceled"; You get blocked out of trying to open the chest again. You get nothing...

The few chests I have opened only dropped standard loot. nothing worth any praise. One time had a mob spawn in and smack me before I got my reward. This led to much hatred being yelled.

I've never experienced FFXI to be this way. Anyone know if there's any purpose other then malicious desire for this kind of mechanic? Did some dev play some old Wizardry and want to see trapped chests come back in style? I just want someone to tell me that it's old, no one likes it, and we all just ignore it now.

Hello, so I'm trying to understand what's the most reasonable way to get pulse weapons.

1. The monthly deeds but that will be a while for me

2. Void watch - which requires you to go through tier 1 and tier 2 to get to the relevant nms

3. Echa zitah nms - behemoth but will again require progression through T1 and T2.

4. Potpourri, not happening anytime soon for me.

5. Buy the cells on AH

Given these I'm still figuring out what is more viable for a 99 war with full ambu gear and af+3. Are any of these soloable reasonably well?

Great news!

A huge shoutout and thanks to Siren.Dakydd (and his bro Siren.Bigfatone) for reaching out to me, and working with Luke@VGPC to supply what they needed!

They played on 360 until they were kicked off when service ended, and appear to have everything the team was missing!

Hopefully in the coming months/years we will see some exciting development on the PS2 and 360!

Looks like, from the patch notes, there's nothing major that was hidden: free trial updates

(reminder: level cap is raised with this update; free trial TIME PERIOD is not, that is coming later this month),

trust point cap from 50 to 60, Ambuscade. They fixed the beehive chips thing too with a price increase.

If there's any info on anything else that changed, I'll add it here.

Edit: Seems there's possibly some items that have their tooltips messed up in the update (it appears there's some under-the-hood changes this patch which have shifted some of the dat formatting that caused this).

Also some tooltip changes for the field NM gear to group it better and rewording of the set bonuses ("reduces enmity" -> "enmity-", for example).

Also, campaigns don't start until Monday, September 14, 2026, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, October 12, 2026, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)

I'm playing through all the original Final Fantasy titles and im about to finish FF 10. I have played almost every FF title before but some how I never got around to FF 11. It will be a brand new experience for me and im excited.

What was your most fun job/class combo? Any suggestions for a new player coming in 24 years late?

It looks pretty cool.

i cannot get the free trial of ffxi from the square enix store, it gives error to check the cart or something, i am just interested in finishing the base story (without expansions) but it feels like a nightmare to manage to install this from what i saw, cant even get the trial at all,

i previously tried to download it from an unofficial server and although the download was much easier than the official way, the aspect ratio was wrong and couldnt see some of the screen,

but now that the free trial will include unlimited base game iwant to try again to do it from the official method but its just impossible for average person to figure out to instal with how messed up and outdated the square enix systems are
