Server Features

• Level cap 99.
• All Maps and Outposts Unlocked.
• Explorer Moogle 3 cities, Selbina, Mahura.
• EXP 3x Retail.
• Books 2x Retail.
• Combat and crafting skills 9x Retail.
• Small regen/refresh/regain with buff to level 75.
• Over 200 Custom NM’s geared for 99 players up to Multi-Alliance Mobs.
• 9 Custom Abyssea zones With working custom ATMAs for EXP and HNM fun, all geared and balanced for 99 play.
• ALL Blue Magic working.
• Custom Trials and Quests for Salvage and +1/AF3 +1-2/Empy/Relic/Mythic(and upgrades).
• Custom KSNM.
• Regular scheduled version updates to introduce new gear and content.
• Moderately buffed food… Nothing insane!
• Enabled player commands.
• Stocked AH.

Please also note this is not intended to be an easy mode server. You will be expected to work for what you want as everything is designed to be achievable and thoroughly tested with the amount of players each mob is designed to be killed by.

Server Info

• The Firewall is Cisco Meraki with 500G state full throughput.
• The Switching is Cisco Meraki Gig switching.
• Hyper-V host in place and will be running Gameserver and Webserver VMs.
  • No, we do not have 256 individual VMs running and never will. That is pointless, stupid, and a waste of perfectly good resources.
• Hard drive storage system I/O is operating with 15k RPM HDDs in a RAID 10 array.
• CPU is running 24 cores at 2.5Ghz
• 32 GB of DDR3 RAM operating at 1333 Mhz
  • Sorry folks, unlimited RAM does not exist despite what the slider in VMWare tells you.
• Network throughput from the firewall to the server is operating with 4 1G NIC’s running into a 10G vSwitch and adapters.

Auction House Auto-Buy

Certain items will be automatically purchased for a fixed price by the AH-Bot. For example, when you finish using lower level gear, just sell it on the Auction House. If the price meets the fixed buy back price, AH-Bot will buy it back at predetermined times. See Bronze Subligar for example.

How do I get around?

• All Outposts are unlocked. Use the Teleporter NPCs around Vana'diel to travel quickly.
• Home Point Teleporting is enabled. After reaching a Home Point you can then teleport there from any other Home Point. (Note: Favorites list is not currently working.)
• Use a Warp Ring to get back to your home point.

How do I level up?

• Use Fields of Valor Pages & Tomes together with a Chariot Band to maximize your experience points.
