HorizonXI – Era+ 75 Cap FFXI Server Launching December 17th, 2022

[Druin]

I WISSSSSSSSSSSSH this game had Warp Ring. It feels so bad to play a game without a return option. That said... Bastokians make sure to get your Valkurm Dunes Supply Mission done for one of the best Outpost warps in the game

Yeah, but then that wouldn't line up with their entirely arbitrary "Era+" where they keep everything arbitrarily the same except for the wide swaths of change they made where now it's essentially a Frankenstein and a different game.

Spicy... and I say with with all the sincerity available to me in the year that is 2022... why are you still in this thread my guy?

I've just been unironicaly killing myself to warp, fuck the EXP loss. Bastok got blessed with Valkurm OP though so now I've just set HP there and can pay a pittance to get back to town if I need to whilst still being pretty central to shit I need to do.

Someone remind me because I forget how the system works. Do I need to go get that Valkurm OP before Bastok loses influence?

[Obsidian]

Yes, you can only do the outpost supply missions while your home nation has control of that region.

[Tyrath]

When do the turnovers happen? Aka how long do I have lol

[Kiarax]

Weekly tally is Sunday JST midnight just like retail, so you have all week to grab it at least. Also don't need to run all the way to the OP, the NPC when you first zone in will take it. This server has the old level requirements for OP warping though which kinda sucks, need level 20 to warp to Gustaberg/Dunes but you can warp back to town from those OPs at any level at least.

Edit: Actually I just tried talking to the OP warp in Bastok at level 20 and he won't let me go to Gustaberg or the Dunes so I dunno what other requirement is needed. Maybe need a certain rank or something?

I've said it before that I don't always agree with this man, but how can I disagree with this? They even got mpk trains at zone entrances, which is funny and nostalgic, but even SE fixed this in the 75era age and there's no reason to keep this in the game aside from the luls and nostalgia.

Plenty good here tho. Don't let the detractions keep someone from at least trying it on a weekend afternoon for fun.

Don't you dare disparage mpk trains. I am glad they left it as it was originally.

I thought originally you had to be at rank 2-3 or 3-1 to be able to use them, but it's been forever and I can't be assed to go hunting through the wiki to confirm it.

Working on getting this up and running. In the meantime, what are the party seeking situations like? Finding tanks/healers a nightmare? Or did everyone assume that would be true and therefore too many tanks/healers?

Vacillating between being whm or brd, but I gotta think carefully as chances are I’ll only manage to get one class to 75.

[Kiarax]

I've got parties super fast every time I've flagged up on WAR. Just been throwing up a search comment saying I'm geared + axe/shield and they come within minutes, probably helps that the seacom makes me stand out. That said there was like 450 people in dunes yesterday so people are branching out to other zones lol. I can go accept 2-3 next time I log in and see if that opens up OP warping.

Dps might be fun as I was usually healer/support.

BLM warp required first no matter what though. XD

[Prothescar]

If I play I want to do PLD but man the thought of doing those quests at-level makes me nauseous

Haven't tried, but level sync makes partying with friends a lot easier.

Been farming for CP for level 10 Bastok gear right now so I can tank for friends.

Tried to do the steam deck install. Got stuck here:



Note: same issue once signed in. Signed out so you wouldn’t see user info.


Anyone else have success with it? RIP.

Edit: went to the discord steam deck thread, and this is way above my head. I don’t understand anything they are saying in there.
