Final Fantasy 11 Hints: ------ Submitted by: RM Alternate opening sounds: ------------------------- In order for this trick to work, you must be running the Playonline viewer in windowed mode. Open the viewer, and as soon as the window shows up, click outside of the window, which will un-highlight the viewer. Instead of the standard music, you should hear cheering, followed by "Welcome to Playonline". Grass Cloth: ------------ Synthesize a Yagudo Necklace with a Wind Crystal. This will get you three spools of Grass Thread. Synthesize them with Earth Crystal to get Grass Cloth. Sheep Leather: -------------- Synthesize a Goblin mask with a Wind Crystal to get a Sheep Leather. Silk Thread: ------------ To get Silk Thread very easily, defeat Crawlers in East Sartabaruta. Raise White Magic level easily: ------------------------------- This trick is useful to level up much needed spells such as Protect, Cure, and Shell. Go to a local residential area and stand directly outside your Mog House. Cast the desired spell on yourself until you run out of MP. You can also cast it on other players running in and out of their Mog House. Once you have run out of MP, run into your Mog House, replenish it, exit, and repeat. This saves a large amount of time from having to heal after casting. You can level up magic by casting the spell on yourself, despite if you already have the enhancement on yourself or have 100% HP. Keep casting and it will level up. Easy gil: --------- This trick requires two characters. When starting a new character, you are always given an Adventurer's Coupon. When given to the correct person, you will obtain 50 gil. Make two characters and have the character that will be your main character be in his Mog house (preferably in order to get to the Delivery Box faster) and have the second character go to the Auction House in which ever country they are in and deliver their "Onion" weapon and Adventurer's Coupon to the main character. You can use the Adventurer's Coupon repeatedly. When the main character has received the items, delete the second character and make a new one with a new coupon and weapon. As for the weapon, put it up on the Auction House for about 100 to 200 gil. You can repeat the process as many times as desired. Bastok Mines: Entering the Zehrun Mines: ---------------------------------------- Go to Bastok Mines. Near the left on your map is a circle. Go there and enter the passage, and you will be in Zehrun Mines. San d'Oria: Recommended places to level up: ------------------------------------------- Go to the following locations in San d'Oria when at the indicated levels to level up easily. Level 1 to 7 - West and East Ronfaure Level 7 to 13 - Ghelsaba Outpost Level 14 to 18 - Valkrum Dunes Level 19 to 25 - Peninsula Level 26 to 34 - Jugner Forest Level 35 to 43 - Davoi (possibly) Level 44 to 52 - Xarbard Level 53 to 60 - Deep King Ramperre's Tomb Level 61 to 75 - Ifrit's Caltron Final Fantasy logo: ------------------- When you board the airship and the screen is on Steiner in the front of the ship, in the background clouds you can see the Final Fantasy symbol fly by every few seconds. Orc jumps tree while attacking: ------------------------------- Go into West Ronfaure and find an Orc (any kind) near a tree. Attack the Orc and get on one side of the tree. Make sure that the Orc is on the exact opposite side. When in the correct location, the Orc will attempt to attack you, fly up into the tree, and fall back down in front of you. Note: The Orc still causes damage to you while in the tree. Bastok Metalworks elevator: --------------------------- In Bastok Metalworks, put one foot on the elevator and one off. When the elevator goes up or down you will be in first-person mode. Move to the side that the elevator is closest to. You will now be where the elevator is at. Higher than 1024x1024 background rendering: ------------------------------------------- Note: This procedure involves editing a registry value; do not attempt this if you are not familiar with working with your system registry, as a mistake can cause serious problems with Windows. Start Regedit and use the "Registry/Export Registry File" menu option to create a backup copy of your original registry. Use the following steps to set the background textures past a 1024x1024 resolution. In Regedit, Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", then select "Software". Select "PlayOnlineUS" and the "Square Enix" folder, then the "FinalFantasyXI" tab. You should see two "strings", "003" and "004". Double click to open them, and change the value for "003" to "800", then change the value for "004" to "800". You will notice the values to the right after you click "OK" will change to the corresponding resolution. Easy gil: --------- * Whenever you get Crystals in battle, put them in an auction for about 100 gil each. You will make good money this way, or you can put them in your bazaar for about 50 gil each. * At 6:00 in upper San 'Doria, the Wood Guild opens. There, you can by Arrowwood Lumber for 7 gil each. They sell for approximately 100 to 150 gil each. Also, the Luaun Lumber makes a profit, but not as much. * This trick requires three party members in Bastok. Behind the lighthouse in South Gustaberg is a bush labeled as "???". There, you can trade a Quus to have Bubbly Bernie spawn. He is not very difficult to defeat and drops a Steam Clock. If you set the second person to Quartermaster and make him wait at the entrance to Bastok Mines, he can run into the auction house and send it to the third person, waiting at the Mog House in Bastok Markets. The third person should take the clock to Malene in the very northern part of the town. She will give you 500 gil per clock. You can repeat this as many times as desired. Note: You can only hold one clock at a time, but you can have as many as you desired inside your delivery box. * Once you at about level 5 (depending on your main job), collect Silk Threads from Crawlers in either East or West Sartabaruta, outside of Windurst. They can sell at the Auction House for 1,000 to 2,000 gil each.
