Imagine XI reshapes Final Fantasy XI with party balance, accessible abilities, and quality-of-life tweaks designed to make both nostalgic veterans and new adventurers feel empowered from the very first login. Here’s a breakdown of the key server-side changes we've made:
🛡️ All Abilities Unlocked at Level 1
- Every ability in the game is now accessible from level 1. For instance, Warriors can use Warcry right away, allowing for more dynamic low-level battles and creative job combinations from the moment you begin.
💫 Mage Upgrades from Day One
All mage jobs (WHM, BLM, RDM, SMN, SCH, GEO, BLU) now benefit from:
- Auto Refresh: Grants +2 MP per tick from level 1.
- Clear Mind, Conserve MP: Major boosts to efficiency from the start.
💰 Enhanced Treasure Mechanics
Thief, Corsair, Beastmaster, and Ranger now gain:
- Treasure Hunter III and Gilfinder at level 1. Get rich faster and never miss a drop.
🗡️ Dual Wield from the Start
Jobs that are normally locked behind higher levels now start with Dual Wield—perfect for NIN, DNC, BLU, and THF players.
🛡️ Shield Mastery Overhaul
Adjusted and expanded Shield Mastery across multiple jobs like WAR, PLD, and RDM to provide more defense and utility in the early game.
🧠 Weapon & Magic Skill Rank Rebalancing
We’ve completely rebuilt skill ranks to offer better flexibility:
- Every job now has a more intuitive weapon proficiency setup.
