Final Fantasy XI Basic Information: Part 1
Prologue
"It all began with a stone,
Or so the legend says.
In ages past,
The sentient jewel,
Enormous and beautiful,
Banished the darkness.
It's many-colored light filled the world with life And brought forth-mighty gods.
Bathed in that light,
The world entered an age of bliss,
Until after a time,
The gods fell into slumber.
That world was called Vana'diel.â€
"In the 863rd year of the Crystal Era, Vana'diel was in the midst of a great war. Faced with the invasion of the Shadow Lord and his hordes of beast men, the leaders of the enlightened peoples united their forces in desperate alliance. They were the Kingdom of San D'oria, the Republic of Bastok, the Federation of Windurst, and the Grand Duchy of Juno. Together they struggled for survival in battle after battle as chaos engulfed the land."

The Shadow Lord
The Shadow Lord is currently the most challenging boss in Final Fantasy XI. You have a slim chance of beating him even with a whole party of level 50's! When you defeat him, you will get a rank 6. That is why you will scarcely see rank 6 players.

The Eight Crystals
There are 8 crystals in total in Final Fantasy XI. Each of them have different elemental properties.To get crystals, you must go to a guard at the border of the area that your kingdom reigns over, and ask the guard ro cast a spell called 'Crysta' on you. 'Crysta' is only a temporary spell, and will only last for a given amount of time. Once the guard has casted 'Crysta' on you, you must then battle enemies in the area to get as many crystals as you can before the spell runs out. (To the right is a list of items you can make from a combination of different items, along with crystals.)
Darkness: Has the ability to damage an object severely to an unusable state.
Earth: Used for combining items into one.
Fire: Can burn or heat objects.
Ice: Has the ability to make things hard or freeze them.
Light: Used to enrich an object.
Thunder: Used to finely cut an object, to use with the Earth Crystal.
Water: Has the ability to turn things into liquid.
