Final Fantasy XI Navigation Guide Version 1.5 Author Ben Rain Date January 6, 2005 AIM: Removed E-Mail: benrain [at] gmail [dotcom] ------------ Introduction ------------ Hello! My name is Ben and I play on the Final Fantasy XI Server Ramuh. My character is Benius and I am currently in the Linkshell TrickyTonberries. The reason I am writing this guide is because many people who play the game do not know how to get to certain areas, and I want to help you guys out! This guide will cover on how to get exactly to get to any area starting from any of the 4 main nations, San d'Oria, Bastok, Windurst, and Jeuno. For the new areas added in Chains of Promathia, a section has been added titled Outlands. Also I have added a dungeons section. How it will work is I will list where the new area's "Zone" is and the position or where you can enter it on the map. So I hope you enjoy my guide and hope you guys don't get lost! Also, I will not add dungeons until later versions of this guide, only because this guide was only originaly navigating you throught the game. Ask players in the areas nearby dungeons on how to get there until I finish that. ------------------------ My Travels In Vana 'diel ------------------------ Since I am a White Mage I am a Guardian to others. My experience as a White Mage has not only helped me to communicate with other people in the game but In real life as well. Final Fantasy XI has more to offer than just entertainment but as a life rewarding experience as well. Making friends is an exciting part of the game as you will know you will always have someone watch over your back. Out of all the MMORPGs I have played, Final Fantasy XI's seems to be the most friendliest. --------------------- How to use this guide --------------------- I will put the name of a Nation in the title. This will be the starting city of your travel. Then I will put in quote's the destination. And the path of places you go thru after that. Once you reach the final destination, I will mark it with " ' ". For multipule paths, I will number each individual path, starting with the quickest. Some Comments or Subpaths I will notate will be labeled with -'s. I also highly suggest you have maps for the areas. -------- Versions -------- January 6, 2005 1.5 Happy New year! I plan to work on the guide a bit more frequently from now on. Just a small little update on Dungeons, also descrption on certain locations. September 23, 2004 1.3a Chains of Promathia has been released. I plan to make a new section dedicated to the new areas. I will be accepting new paths to some of the new areas as well. Please send in all paths known to the new areas and you will be accredited with your submition. Added some very important information about Bibiki Bay that you all should read before entering. July 27, 2004 1.2 Fixed some grammer errors as well as updated my Information. Also updated the upcoming section and fixed a few navigation paths that had errors in them. Also started a section about my travels in the beginning. June 8, 2004 1.0 Everything is complete! Will be updated for Chains of Promathia once it is released as well as dungeons will come soon! June 7, 2004 0.8 Finished Bastok and Windurst as promised :) Now that the three main nations are finished, you should have no problem navigating thruought the world.

Bastok and Windy WILL Come in the next update which will be sometime this week.

You will be accredited for what you submit to me. If you wish to remain anonymous please mention so. Your information will be included with the next guide update. ----------------------------------- New Information on getting to areas ----------------------------------- The Guide explains on how to get to each Kingdom from another, so for areas like Beaucedine Glacier, the path for getting to them will start in the country it is closest to, in the Glaciers case, it would be San d'Oria. ----------------- Table Of Contents ----------------- To easily reach to one of the areas just hit "Ctrl + F" and input the letter code by it.

Outlands ------------ Getting to Beaucedine Glacier: (San d'Oria) Start off in East Ronfaure, then head to Ranguemont Pass (See Dungeons) and climb up. Go thru Ranguemont and you will end up in Glacier, Path Positions soon. Getting to Bibiki Bay: This Zone is a bit complicated to find. First off you must head out to Buburimu Penninsula. After that, head to the southern beach on the map. Head West once you reach the shore, at the end there should be a cave. Go thru to get to a hidden beach. Once again, head due west and go thru the other tunnel to get into Bibiki bay. There are many parts of Bibiki bay, which you access by riding the Manaclipper. This is just another ferry and travels around Bibiki bay, which indeed is a very large area, consider buying a map in Mharua. As of 9-23-04 the price for the Manaclipper is 80 Gil. Also be aware that Bibiki bay is not only a tourist attraction, It also has higher level aggroing monsters around Level 30 from what I have seen so far. Also monsters will pop up on the Manaclipper and they have poison attacks with a large AOE (Area of Effect) so if you arent a White Mage, bring some antidotes. ------------ F6. Dungeons ------------ Note: If the current zone positions (Ex: G-5), are not listed, they will be updated as soon as possible Getting to Ranguemont Pass: Head to East Ronfaure, in the top right corner of a map will be a cave. Go inside. Getting to Pso'Xja: There are a few Hotaru-Ruins-Shaped towers around Beaucedine Glacier, there is a certain requirement to open the gates, which I currently don't remember, but it is a CoP area. Anyway, enter the towers and there will be panzer dolls inside, they aggro magic. Go to the gate and when it asks if you want to go thru, do so. Getting to Fei'Yin: This is fairly easy to get to, but quite a long walk, you need to walk up and down many parts of Beaucedine Glacier. I will look up the positions in the next update. Getting to Gugsen Mines: A fairly easy zone to find. Head to Konschtat Highlands. On the map near the Crag of Dem there is a set of land that sort of curves on the east in a Hook-Like shape. Head up there and the zone will be in plain sight. ----------- G7.
