What Works

The Goal

The idea for this wiki page originally stemmed from my post on the forums (What do these servers have to offer?) with the goal to create a list for everyone of what works and what doesn't. Throughout the thread it was brought to my attention that there are some things that do work but have major bugs in them that may prevent someone from wanting to even bother with it.

The goal? To put it simply, the goal of this page is to create a quick reference guide for those currently playing to know what works and what doesn't. For those who aren't playing it is meant as an informative page designed to showcase what features of the game currently do and do not work.

Just because something is listed here as not working does not mean it is never going to be implemented, all it means is that it is not currently implemented and could very well be in the works.

So without further ado, here is the list.

What Works and What Doesn't

For reference when scrolling through under each category it will be listed by expansion.

ie. Under Events it will go original content > Zilart > Promathia > ToAU, etc.

Legend: Green writing = Working

Orange writing = Working, with bugs

Red writing = Not working

Black writing = unconfirmed

---

Weapon Skills

Most should work up to relic level, and the formulas in use match those accepted as correct by retail players. While there are reports of damage being low, no one finds issues with the formulas, so research is necessary to find out what's actually wrong.

WSNM quests are not implemented, and the weapon skills are automatically gained.

Exceptions:

• Magic-based weapon skills currently use a physical formula, and will be calculated as physical damage

• Monk WSs do not return TP correctly. The second hit should return a punch worth of TP when it lands, rather than 1.

• Energy Steal and Energy Drain were never really finished. They do static damage, and may not restore MP.

• Spirits Within may be using an older, incorrect formula.

Missions

All nation missions currently work up to rank 6 and therefore will be marked as green, as it does not hinder any game play to not be able to go further than that.

Bastok -- Rank 7

San d'Oria -- Rank 8?

Windurst

Rise of the Zilart - Implemented up through Ark Angels and The Sealed Shrine. The final BCNM (The Celestial Nexus) and the cutscenes afterward are all that remain.

Chains of Promathia - Works up to Promyvion - Vahzl, but many behaviors need improvement.

Treasures of Aht Urhgan

Wings of the Goddess

A Crystalline Prophecy: Ode of Life Bestowing

A Moogle Kupo d'Etat: Evil in Small Doses

A Shantotto Ascension: The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born

Visions of Abyssea

Scars of Abyssea

Heroes of Abyssea

Seekers of Adoulin

---

Misc

Dual-boxing -- Works, but has issues with sessions. Characters can be switched between users on the same IP address when zoning, and players can become stuck. Also, the BCNM system will not allow two users with the same visible IP address to enter a BCNM.

Character Creation -- FFXI-Boot cannot smoothly log in the first time. When the client times out or gets stuck, wait a few minutes before trying again. It may take up to three or four tries for the first login. mXI does not suffer from this problem, but has trouble with excessive CPU usage over time. Ashita along with FFXI-Boot Mod 3 should correct this problem, and is the recommended client.

Conclusion

It was my pleasure to bring this list to the Darkstar Project community, and I thank everyone very much for the assistance and reports of functionality. I hope this list can make it to the eyes of numerous potential newcomers and also veteran players on the server.

As of right now this list is incomplete, any feedback on the change of functionality or any missing content please do let me know through the forums via PM or just go through my profile page
