04-The Basics
---Stats And What They Stand For---
Stats affect all of FFXI:O. The better stats you have, the better you can
survive and find a party. People want strong parties.
*******************************************************************************
LV - Your job level of the current job. Once you "Level Up" your stats increse.
HP - Your character's health. Once you lose all of it then you will die.
Without HP you cannot preform any action except for talking to someone
else. So in short, don't lose this.
MP - Your character's "mana". Once you lose all of it then you cannot use
magic anymore. If you are a mage then this is very important.
NOTE: Your HP and MP get recovered in small increments while you are resting.
TP - Tactical Point. Once you get your TP meter to 100% it let's you use a
weapon skill if you want. You can get the meter up to 300% percent. The
more TP, the better your weapon skills. More is explained in the Weapon
Skill section of the FAQ.
STR - The strength of your character. The more STR you have, the higher you
physical attack damage will do. Needed for melee classes.
DEX - Your characters dexterity, meaning how fast and how accurate your attacks
are.
VIT - You vitality meaning how much damage you can take. The more VIT you have,
the less amount of damage you take from a normal attack.
AGI - The agility of your charcater, or how fast your character can move. The
better AGI means the more you can evade attacks and so on. May affect how
accurate you are, but I am not currently sure.
INT - Intelligence and how much your Black Magic does. Have a high amount of
this and you can blow enemies away with spells. Need a high number if you
are going to be a powerful mage.
MND - Mind affects three things and is very useful. It affects how good your
defense against magic is, determines how well you resist abnormal status,
and your White Magic power.
CHR - Charisma affects a bards songs and other charisma related attacks. For
the class abilities it may have a (C) next to it meaning that charisma
affects it.
EXP - The amount of experience points you have accumulated the entire game.
They don't have a purpose really, except that you can show it off to your
friends. If you die you will lose a small portion of it.
NEXT Level - Amount of exp. needed to gain the next Job Level.
*Fame* - Fame affects the amount of pricing in stores. The more fame you have,
the less money things cost in stores. You can get more fame by
completing quests.
*Hate* - Hate determines the chance that an enemy will attack you. Casting
spells and the use of certain abilities will temporarily boost this
stat.
NOTE: Fame is not shown in the status screen. An NPC can tell you the number.
NOTE: Hate is not shown in the status screen. An NPC can tell you the number.
NPCs that will tell you what your fame is in that area:
Bastok (Port) | E-6 | Flaco
Jeuno (Lower) | H-8 | Mendi
Kazham | I-11 | Ney Hiparujah
Norg | H-8 | Vaultimand
Rabao | G-9 | Waylea
San d'Oria (South) | K-6 | Namonutice
Windurst (Waters) | F-10 | Zabirego-Hajigo

---Stats Effects And What They Stand For---
Stats effects are good and bad things. There are good status effects will will
increase your chance of victory by making you stronger. Bad status effects are
effects that will make you suffer. You will probably know what I mean.
NOTE: The above was in relation to your character or party. If a good status
effect is cast on an enemy (like Haste), that is bad for you. Hopefully
that wasn't too confusing.

Bad Status Effects:
NOTE: Sorry, but it will be in the next update. I am pressed for time so I
decided to start this section.

---Tips For You When You Play The Game---
Just follow these simple tips and you will have a much more fun time in FFXI:O
1) Be Courteous-
Americans as a whole are not known for their politeness, especially on
online games. When you play do not say things like "G|V3 m3 50m3
G||_". Instead say something like "Could you spare some gil". Whether
you would like to think about it or not, people WILL give you gil or
something else if you ask nicely. Also ask someone if you can view
their stats before you do it. Since whenever someone views your stats
(or theirs) it will tell them. They could get mad. Just be courteous
and polite to everyone and you will succeed in this game. "Courtesy is
the key of life"
2) Desperation-
Nearly everyone you will find throughout the world of FFXI:O will be in
search of a party. Since you NEED to party up at the higher levels,
than look for someone with a little exclamation mark over their head.
Ask them nicely if they want to join in your "party" (even if you are
currently solo) and they will probably say "yes".
3) Do NOT Charge-
For any services in the game you do, do not make people pay for them.
What I mean by this is that if you heal someone do not ask them for a
donation. Also dont charge people to have you in their party. You will
never advance in the game. "If you are a White Mage then it is your
duty to heal those in need" - White Mage Handbook, vol.6
4) Ask Game Masters-
Game Masters (GMs) wander around the world of FFXI:O and act much like
a police force. Any inappropriate behavior in front of a Game Master
and they may suspend your account for a small amount of time. You can
swear and the sort, but do not do it at someone. Basically no foul
language and you will be safe throughout the game. Also, if you have a
question then ask a GM. GMs will answer most question you ask them. It
might be a "I don't want to spoil any surprizes so I cant answer that"
or a "to get to Selbina go south of Valkurm Dunes" type of answer. GMs
are very nice in the end if you are polite. The only thing you should
not do is constantly talk to GMs. They can suspend you for distracting
them and so on. You can talk to GMs, but just dont do it excessievly.
5) Follow Your Duty-
If you are in a party then do your responsibility. The party leader
will most likely give you plans for each battle you go up against. Most
likely if the leader is a good leader he will know what and what not to
do. Listen to him or her. He may want to try and get a few Magic Bursts
or Skillchains out successfully. If you do not listen then other
parties may not want you ever in thier party. You probably won't make a
new friend or that person may not trust you again if you act badly in a
battle. Do your best and listen to the leaders orders.
6) Form A Good Party-
Do not make a party of just one class. It will not work out. Parties
have to be balanced and have to have a lot of variety to succeed. If
you are the leader then make a good party and decide when you should
use certain moves. Request help if needed, but never leave your
party hanging.
7) It Doesn't Matter-
If you do everything you were supposed to do in a battle and you
die, it is not all bad. By dying you may make a new friend.
Really, it's happened. If everything doesn't go to plan just joke about
it. Life is all good if you make it be.
8) Just Hang Out-
Life in FFXI:O isn't about just killing off hoardes of enemies and
getting good stuff. Just have a fun time doing whatever you want. Talk
to people that you met two months ago and check how they are doing. Go
and check out the many beauties of Vana'deil and every place you can
find. While if you die you will loose experience, sometimes it is just
fun seeing how long you can last or put yourself in danger. This is not
real life. Well it could be, but just chill. There is a whole world of
things to do out there.
---There must be an easier way---
You can simply do things by way of your keyboard. I will go into the way you
use them later. I completely recommend anyone playing FFXI to get a keyboard.
It is practically needed if you want to get anywhere. After playing this game
for 2 days without the keyboard, you will want one really badly. You can use
any USB keyboard that isn't broken.
