Rules Of Engagement: Community Compendium

I wanted to make a thread, with community input, compiling facts about FFXI battle based mechanics for newer players to use as a reference.

Starting out, let's separate the facts into categories:

• Attacking - Weaponskills, melee, ranged, attack focused abilities, attacking buffs, etc.

• Defensive - Damage taken, blocking, healing, defense focused abilities, defensive buffs, etc.

• Pets - Pet attacks, PUP tank, BST tank, pets buffs, etc.

New categories can be added, if needed. Post your input below, and as they receive upvotes they will be moved to the corresponding category as a community accepted and important fact.

Attacking

• The weaponskill damage bonus only applies to the first hit of a weaponskill

Defensive

• Vivacious Pulse will restore MP if used with x3 Tenebrae runes

Pets

• The first hit of a multi-hit blood pact receives +100 accuracy bonus

You trying too hard.

There are already guides, just tell them to read the guides, father of the year.

Now that i see lilisette is kinda illuminati.

new players should know they won't be able to get on the ledge in giddeus without the job ability jump.
