Things that are different / New players should know

  • !unstuck will freeze you in place for 20 real life minutes and then transport you to your home point. There are still bugs in the game and you can end up underwater in port windy, etc.
  • 30 free slots in /satchel Join discord and then go to the channel #welcome, link your discord and in-game names by following the instructions. I would link to the instructions but they may change that link and this will get you there even if the link is changed in the future. If you add new characters after that point you need to /refresh in discord or something. Don't redo the same as above or it breaks shit. Ask in discord how to "refresh" if you add mules after linking.
  • You get more EXP if you earn it with signet in an area your home country does not control. (I learned this at level 50) This works in tiers so low level get no benefit and sub 5 (or maybe 10) you don't even help with conquest, post level 50 you can earn up to the cap of 15% more exp in uncontrolled areas.
  • fishing without bait / breaking poles can "lock you" and only relogging / crash + restart can fix it.
  • You can't fish until you are level 15
  • You get city rings once you reach rank 2.
  • Burning eye for O.hat drops in King Ranperre's Tomb not The Eldieme Necropolis. Maybe others are switched too.
  • In game go to Menu>Config>Game Play | and turn on Inventory sort (to auto sort inventory)
  • Level sync is "normal" under the level sync, e.g. you are 12, the level sync is 15, it is also "normal" if you are 10 levels above the target. E.g. 15 (LS) and 25 you. If you are 11+ you will experience exp penalties. there are no equipment downgrades you cannot wear equipment higher than the LS level.
  • Eco warrior quests happen once a week award about 10k exp and about 10k gil. once you accept the quest you cannot get the other cities or drop the quest so don't get it until ready to go. These cap at level 20 but you are not required to be level 20 to do them. It is a good idea to bring sneak/invis items with you.
  • Requirements to OP Warp from Jeuno are less (developers want people in Jeuno) but you need Rank 3 to do so, so this makes it hard to do lower level jobs until you reach rank 3
  • You get mog wardrobe spaces for certain requirements (the first is 5 @ Subjob unlock) and (5 more at 1st advanced job unlock) (SJ=level 18, Adv Job = level 30)
  • Beastmen seals (keep these!) will drop at a rate of 20%, are not affected by Treasure Hunter. That drop rate will drop to 0% for 5 minutes after the last seal. This "timer" can be reset by zoning. E.g. if you get a beastman seal, you will not get another one for at least 5 minutes if you stay in the same zone.
  • Ashita Scripting/macros (/exec) : It is Allowed to use Ashita macros to equip and unequip items that would take more than a single in-game macro's 7 lines. (don't forget there is an in-game solution to equipment with /equipset as well) It is not allowed to automate using ashita script. : Example: It is ALLOWED to use IN GAME macro to make seven lines of "/lastsynth <wait 25>" and craft 7 items in a row. It is NOT ALLOWED to make an ashita script to do the same but 12 times. Likewise when skilling up healing magic, enhancing magic, summoning magic, ninjutsu, etc.
  • No "bag of stones" etc, you need 4 people to get through gate in Garlaige Citadel, or Quicksand Cave weight plates, etc. 3-mage door item DOES exist
  • When turning in crystals for rank bar points you CANNOT overload the last trade for massive CP. It will just fill it with no overflow into CP.
  • Ninja elemental wheel spells are learned at level 12 but only usable from 15 on Horizon.
  • You can Store beastmen seals with the NPC in Port Jeuno, and you can Store equipment sets with NPC: Caruvinda. Not all sets and unsure of +1, but AF, and RSE, and Chainmail, and seers, etc. Need all 5 pieces, (head, body, hands, legs, feet)
  • Samurai quest is 3 hours real time after turn in items before you can get your sword.
  • Ninja 2hour skill is different.
  • While there is a standard addon for all maps to be displayed to the player some maps are still needed to advance certain quests. For instance if you want a certain goblin treasure hunter to "mark your map" with the location of a treasure, you have to have the map for that region purchases from map vendor.

Please include dates these occurred if they may change in the future / updates

  • Fame is all over the board. Some is Era (lots of stuff needed) Some is not. Wiki is not reflective of this. It may change from update to update. We don't know what is intended or correct. Example: August 2023 24-25 stacks of millioncorn needed for max fame when wiki and ERA Fame would need 100 stacks. Certain quests in Windursts like c-3000 are repeatable (but after 30 STACKS (30*12 = 360 trades) no increase in fame. The new Dryer's Woad quest likewise appears to not give fame. (Bastore Sardines seem to give Era+ fame) As of August 2023 if you want to cap windy fame bastore sardines (14 stacks) and All others (25 stacks million corn)
  • When killing 100 mobs for DRK unlock certain "horizon only mobs" don't count. That's a lot of the level 1 mobs in new areas. the only way to tell for sure is to enable MOBDB addon and check mobs to see if they are game stardard (e.g. have all the icons) or horizon only (have only a name)
