I am trying to get the remapster maps working but for the life of me they are not loading in game, I have even tried replacing all the DAT files with the remapster files and they still don't show up in game. What could I be doing wrong?

This has to be the 3rd time I have msged on this thread and I swear my q’s feel more stupid each time….. how do I set my controls on the game through windower?

Can anyone recommend a linkshell for a returning player? Something social/casual would be preferred since I’m old with kids now. Just looking to play at a decent pace and be able to ask questions etc. It looks like a lot of comments have been deleted on these posts in the past so not sure if the recommendations are still relevant.

Since returning to the game i have focused on lvling, jp, and gearing after completing all storylines.

I remember doing a lot of crafting/gardening and such back in the day. I was curious if this is really still something to do that is worth the time effort and expense these days.

I need tips, I'm a new player and I want to play smn as my first job so I am currently level 20 trying to get the avatars. This seems so hard to do with the trail versions. It feels like if I miss the opportunity to summon carbuncle I'm just screwed... I know that there is prime verison that can be done with other people but I don't have friends in this game or a a linkshell (On bahumaut). I would love tips.

Lets say im going to try out 6 boxing the game, what jobs should i do for each slot to be able to do most things. Obviously for certain content there would be some niche setups but i will worry about those in the future if i ever get that far

Thanks

Bgwiki is confusing. Does it or does it not raise your physical damage? How do I know if I’m at the damage limit to even knot to raise it. Very confusing stat.

Hello! Returning after a decade long break and decided to start fresh on a new account and would like a Gold pass.

Thanks in advance!

So I just started playing again since May of this year. I have a chariot band that I've used all the charges on. I know it can only be recharged once per week. It's been sitting at 0 charges since May, pretty sure that puts it at at least a week since I originally got it too. Anyways, I can't recharge it by trading it to Rabid Wolf in Bastok (home city). I also can't drop it to buy a new one or new exp increasing band. Any ideas?

I’ve been trying and damn near struggling to make this work for idk how long and the game doesn’t wana run, And gives me one error after another, help? :(

Two years ago I made a new character with my fiance, paid the sub and overall we should be good for the free login campaign. However, we want to create new characters (different race + refresh story) and noticed that "obtaining a new character" invalidates the free login.

If we activate our humes for the free login, then delete them and create a new character in the launcher, will we still be able to take advantage of the free login?

So I’ve recently started playing RDM for ls events. It’s so damn annoying having to tab to select members to cast haste 2 on em. I always mess up my order of casting. Is there an addon or keystrokes that will allow me to target specific alliance members like for selecting party members with F2-F6?

I figured out where I'm at in the story, but now I'm not sure which city I visited (my last time playing was 2016).

I'm on RoV 1-4 (Set Free). https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Rhapsodies_of_Vanadiel_Mission_1-4

Is there a way to tell? I honestly don't remember which one I sent to, I might have gone to both but I'm not sure which one was first.

Been playing on private servers for about a year now bouncing back and forth, but none seem to scratch the itch actual retail had back in the day. Would it actually be worth returning to FFXI nowadays?

Hello! I am recently returning to FFXI after quite some time. I have got sort of far and I have hit a wall. I am lvl 39 WAR on LEVIATHAN. I really would like to have some people to play with and help me out with stuff. Are there any linkshells out there or people from LEVIATHAN that would be interested in helping me out?

I’m a returning player who is starting over (last played back around ‘05, only got to lvl 60 and not very far into the story), and am wanting to take my time with the original story and expansions.

I understand that RoV is meant for new and old players alike, but I’m wondering when is best to actually do the content as a new player who wants to experience the original story as “authentically” as possible. I.e., trying to go everywhere by foot for the first time, following the missions as they originally came out, etc.

I got to Selbina and have been told to follow Gilgamesh to Norg. Putting aside my instincts that tell me not to get on a boat with a strange man to a faraway land, I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on when to actually start those missions, in light of my goals.

I know RoV gives helpful rewards, so not sure if I’m unnecessarily knee-capping myself by not doing them.

So traveling and figure I get game loaded up on my laptop it’s running windows 10 i run the game fine and can play without windower , but with windower when I hit play in the play online it goes to load the game then just disappears could I be missing somthing any thought? Thank you

Am I obtuse and not doing this right or is something broken? I entered San d'Oria for the first time yesterday just to unlock +2 and tried again today in Bastock. It says I am currently 102nd in line. Lame, but OK - I'll go AFK since all three characters are me. I come back from a movie 4 hours later and it says 103 people are ahead of me... Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Asura.

Edit: Now I'm 104th in line, it's going the wrong way ;;

I quit when master levels first came out. I had an endgame worthy: BRD, COR, DRG, WAR, SAM, and to a little lesser extent SMN (had nirvana but it was more just for SMN burning back in the day), and RUN (have an Epo but was still getting used to the job and being a tank). My question(s) are what's the meta like and what jobs should I focus on if I did come back. Im on Asura and I don't think the LS I was in is still a thing. Id have to relearn gearswap as well as get new GS in general as Ive upgraded computers since then and lost everything ffxi related. I'm kinda missing the game and would love to get back into it and while I don't want to play 5-7 days a week like I used to I do wanna be end game capable. Any help would be great like the best way to get new Gear swaps and what's changed in the last few years. All the jobs that I mentioned have pretty good gear for back then probably completely outdated but I have R15 of their best (at the time) weapons and I believe all the base Sortie equipment I quit before we could augment.

“You are being talked about” when someone says your name.

hello! I've been wanting to come back to ffxi for sometime now. last time i played i couldn't even get into a group on asura due to everyone having like 5 mules lol. is this still the case? are there even linkshells that do events? what servers are populated still? top dps classes? is Pld still good only rune? last question are rdm and ninja viable in current end game? thank you for any help

I have a character on asura that I haven’t played since 2016. I don’t remember where I’m at in the story, but probably only have 20-30 hours on that character.

Given that I don’t remember any details on the character and the lack of a quest journal. I’m thinking it’s better to just start fresh. Does that sound dumb?

theyll never figure it out but NFTs would generate them immense profits if applied to older titles in their library FFXI being the prime example for appreciative value gain and not trying to muck up their futures by applying nonsensical monetization strategies

I really want to unlock smn, blu and pld but I'm not sure if they're used for endgame content. I just hit lvl 30 war and these three jobs interest me the most.

However, I don't want to unlock something and spend time on those jobs if I'm not going to get into groups.

I'm primarily playing for story at the moment but I do want to get into endgame eventually. Seeing as though this game requires quite some time, I'd like to cut sometime away knowing which jobs to invest in.

Hello! I'm new to the community and I just bought the game and have been watching a bunch of videos to get prepared to start my character! Would anyone be willing to send me a Gold World Pass For the Bahamut Server? Or honestly any server that y'all would recommend?

Hi all, pretty new player here. I've found a few "what should I play for the best chance to play with other people" posts and I always see COR suggested. However, a quick search on Asura shows me that COR is typically the most played job. Why do people recommend it if that's the case? Is it just inflated with multiboxes?

How come only certain enemies drop meat? Things like Coeurls, Dragons, Dhalmels. But we don't get meat from things like Giants, Worms, or Fomor. Is it because their ugly and grotesque appearance makes them unappealing?
