XI Wiki
Here's all the dats that FFXI loads upon startup/using a few sam/dnc abilities/shutdown that were modified after August 1st:
Spoiler: show
Obviously ignore the user files, but that should give you a pretty good idea of what files are being loaded when the game starts, a person uses abilities, then shuts the game down.
If it's not in one of those files I don't know what to tell you.
I'd find it hard to believe all the spells and JAs were set previous to the August patch. :I

Went and opened every one of those up in polutils, deleting them from the list if i could open them, and only 6 things were left:

Should be easy enough to find now.

I did the same of course and noted what I found in my above post.
None of those files are "obviously" the missing information file. They're either far too small or model files (I'm pretty sure they're models anyways, the 3d model format doesn't look anything like any of the string or other informational dats)
On the chance that it's an older file, here are the files that loaded that were modified between 01/01/2010 and 08/01/2010:
Spoiler: show
ROM\217\21.dat <- I'd bet money this is it. Isn't a model file and it's huge. The format looks similar to the old spell format, too. If someone wants to work on cracking this go ahead or I'll give it a whirl when I have some time later.
Purrpurrpurrpurr....
Hmm. Well, hell. It looks like that's another item file. The first thing is a Maze Tabula. /ponders...
So now what?
The files I listed are every dat file that gets loaded that has been updated since 2010. All can either be identified or are much too small...
Is it possible that this information isn't in a .dat file? Downloaded and/or hidden somewhere?

Yeah, but ffxi doesn't really hit that many dlls. the only one that's large enough is FFXIMain.dll.
Ah well, off to work.
Here's a list of *all* the files pol hits as it starts up that have been modified since Aug 1:

Actually, I think I found a good candidate, thanks to the list of dats in the above posts.
118/114.DAT
I think the reason my scanner missed it is because there is a header now, I have to offset the beginning of the record. Also, record length has been reduced to 64 bytes. Plus, my scanner thought it was an image file due to the footer.
I'll confirm in a moment, but byte for byte, comparing 0/11.dat and 118/114.dat visually, I think this is it.

Confirmed, 118/114.DAT is the new spell dat.
Read it exactly like you did the old spell.dat (same encryption, same algorithm for bit shifting), only difference is offset the start 48 bytes for the file header, and each record is 64 bytes now rather than 1024 bytes.
Here is the unencoded data, on pastebin, in case anyone needs it for something:
Format is:
(Index) (ID) (Magic Type) (Element) (Valid Targets) (Skill) (Job Levels: ??? ??? ??? WHM BLM RDM ??? PLD DRK ??? BRD ??? ??? NIN ??? SMN BLU ??? ??? ??? SCH ??? ??? ???) (MP Cost) (Casting Time in 1/4 Seconds) (Recast in 1/4 Seconds) (Unknown)
Note, for example, Index 499, Stoneja.
499 499 2 3 32 36 255 255 255 255 81 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 299 28 180 11
Magic Type 2 = Black Magic
Element 3 = Earth
Valid Targets 32 = Enemy
Skill 36 = Elemental
Job Levels show an 81 in BLM's spot
MP Cost is 299
Cast time is 28/4 = 7 seconds
Recast is 180/4 = 45 seconds
So, that takes care of the spells. I haven't bothered looking for abilities yet, so I'll get to that later unless someone else finds it first. Should be easy now, now that we know what we're looking for.
EDIT: On second thought, I think the abilities may be appended to the end of the spells. The data I got was good until Index 767 (just like the old spell dat), but after that I get an entirely different structure. I bet this is the abilities, in this same dat. Either way, I'll confirm that later unless someone else wants to take a look at the second half of the dat in the mean time.
EDIT2: Hmm, the data appended to the end of the spells doesn't look the same as the old ability data, so abilities may still be missing. Unless they changed the format of the abilities. Something just looks off. Oh well, at least we have the spells. I'll figure out what the rest of the data is later.

Sweet, abils should be near. i'll try to get ahold of yekyaa so he can look into it and hopefully update POLUtils.
Thanks for PM'ing me Kham to alert me.
If anyone gets any more findings please PM me as im not really checking the thread constantly.

and soon as we can get POLUTils updated I will push out a resources update with this data.
I hate when people delay release of something just cause its not complete, when a partial release would help people greatly ~.~
and abils should be in same folder as spells, should be near it.

just an fyi also, i dont know anything about the dat formats and encryption/encoding is why im asking everyone for help...
So I cant confirm any of this data myself, but the data should return stuff like posted above and almost identical to the data in the current common files.
note: Spell/Abil Names should ____NOT____ be in these files.
The names are in seperate files for each language, with common being the shared data.

Looks like the abilities really are appended to the end of the spells, in the same dat.
Both spells and abilities are in ROM/118/114.DAT and the format is as follows:
32 byte overall file header
16 byte header before the spell section
768 blocks of 64 bytes each for spells
16 byte header before the abilities section
1024 blocks of 48 bytes each for abilities
16 byte footer at the end of the file
For the spells, the data structure is:
Index (2 bytes)
Magic Type (2 bytes)
Element (2 bytes)
Valid Targets (2 bytes)
Skill (2 bytes)
MP Cost (2 bytes)
Cast Time (1 byte)
Recast Time (1 byte)
Job levels (24 bytes, each byte representing a job in the order: ??? ??? ??? WHM BLM RDM ??? PLD DRK ??? BRD ??? ??? NIN ??? SMN BLU ??? ??? ??? SCH ??? ??? ???)
ID (2 bytes)
Unknown (2 bytes)
For the abilities, the data structure is:
ID (2 bytes)
Type (1 byte)
List Icon ID (1 byte)
MP Cost (2 bytes)
Unknown (2 bytes)
Valid Targets (2 bytes)
Since the ability data has only 10 bytes of relevant information per block, be sure to read an extra 3 bytes for the purposes of getting your seed for the bit shifting algorithm, even though those extra bytes aren't used for anything.
The spells and abilities are bit-shifted with the same algorithm as in the old files, and the spells data structure is the same, but the abilities data structure has been condensed.
So both have been found now.

Ok, here's the raw decoded spell/abilities data, in case anyone needs it:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=RbxCRi5x
It lists the spell data first, then the ability data.
Format for the spell data is:
(Index) (ID) (Magic Type) (Element) (Valid Targets) (Skill) (Job Levels: ??? ??? ??? WHM BLM RDM ??? PLD DRK ??? BRD ??? ??? NIN ??? SMN BLU ??? ??? ??? SCH ??? ??? ???) (MP Cost) (Casting Time in 1/4 Seconds) (Recast in 1/4 Seconds) (Unknown)
Format for the abilities data is:
(ID) (Type) (List Icon ID) (MP Cost) (Valid Targets) (Unknown)

The unknown attribute for abilities appears to be it's index. The same index used by Recast to identify what ability has just been used. Originally Posted by Khamsin

Ah, good catch. I just labeled it "unknown" since that's the column in POLUtils it corresponds to. Originally Posted by Anrete

Assuming the jobs in the dat match their string listing, they should be as follows
The none entry corresponding to situations such as subjob removal or before earning the subjobCode:??? None ??? WAR ??? MNK WHM WHM BLM BLM RDM RDM ??? THF PLD PLD DRK DRK ??? BST BRD BRD ??? RNG ??? SAM NIN NIN ??? DRG SMN SMN BLU BLU ??? COR ??? PUP ??? DNC SCH SCH ??? Unused ??? Unused ??? Unused

I converted your data into the same format as spells_common.xml
Maybe this can fit Aikar's needs.
As far as the abilities file, I can do this as well but the fields are different (it lacks description)

Speaking of which, I did put together a spells.xml from the dat file. Originally Posted by Mafai

It's the same exact format as the spells.xml you have in your plugins/resources, only with the correct info. It's not a fix, but a full replacement with all languages. It includes not only the new spells, but also corrects errors (such as hastega being thunder element) and updates to banish cast/recast times, reraise MP costs, etc. that have been patched by SE but never updated in the xml.
Feel free to check over and use, in the meantime until POLUtils gets updated and Aikar can push out the new xml.

There appears to be several important problems with the official update. Several spells, such as the Cure and Protect/Shell lines, have "unknown" valid targets, and there are a lot of blue magic spells with "unknown" magic skill instead of "BlueMagic". Originally Posted by Nightfyre

Patch posted to polutils.googlecode.com and Pebbles has been notified. Haven't received a response, but it was only done 5mins ago. In the meantime, how do I attach the xml file for use by datminers?
It's a preliminary pulled straight from my modded version of the source (I don't have committ access).
I have the full 1.2MB and i have a 20kb 7z version
