Server Settings

  • Launch Expansion: Chains of Promathia ("CoP")
  • Level Cap: 75
  • Launch Patch Date: April 17, 2006 (day before ToAH update)
  • Accounts/Characters: 1 account (single box) and 3 characters per IP address
  • Movement Speed: 40 - Level 75 cap era default movement speed (-20% speed)
  • Experience Rates: 1.0 - Wings of the Goddess (“WoTG”) EXP rates
  • Crafting Rates: 1.0
  • Level Sync: Launch System - Unlimited Sync with scaling penalty (see “System: Level Sync” section below)
  • Equipment Scaling (Level Sync): Disabled
  • Auction House: Stocked by players - 21 item limit per character
  • Fishing: Enabled
  • Gardening: Enabled
  • Chocobo Digging: Enabled
  • Dynamis: CoP era with 71 hour lockout (reduced from 72), rumors state it is an entirely new system built by the devs from scratch.
  • Claim Shield: Added to prominent NMs to provide a fair playing experience for all players. HorizonXI uses a lottery based claim shield system where each person has the opportunity to act on the mob once for a chance to claim the monster. After all players have acted and the claim window has closed, the monster will randomly select one person who acted on it and give them the claim. Multiple actions taken on a monster during the lottery do not increase your chances at claiming - each person can only enter the claim lottery once before the lottery window ends.
  • Inventory Expansions: Mog Wardrobes 1 and 2 to be unlocked by completing certain objectives (see “System: Inventory Expansion” section below)
  • Treasure Hunter: Era accurate (we used SE's official Treasure Hunter chart to build our system)
  • Era accurate drop rates: Drop rates for all items have been adjusted to reflect the era experience more accurately


Verification Needed

  • Boost only giving 5% increased attack.
  • Counterstance reduces more defense than normal and doesn't give any positive buffs.
  • Pet food incorrectly displays level 1 for all types, needs to be correct level from retail to equip and use.
  • Gravity movement speed issues. Fixed with update on 03/03/2023? Verification Needed
