MistXI continues to evolve with systems that encourage regular play, reward activity, and keep the world feeling alive — without compromising classic progression.
Today we’re rolling three new features: Two creative re-imagining’s and our first MistXI-exclusive, designed with that philosophy in mind:
- The Slumbering Gods Lottery
- A Custom Monthly Login Campaign
Both systems are fully automated, transparent, and built to reward active adventurers.
The Slumbering Gods Lottery (Monthly)
Once per month, the Slumbering Gods stir… and a single adventurer is chosen for prosperity.
How it Works
- Reward: 1,000,000 gil
- Selection: Random eligible character
- Cooldown: A character cannot win again for 3 months
- Activity Requirement: Must have logged in within the last 14 days
- Restrictions: GMs are excluded from eligibility
Winners are announced publicly on Discord, and a public winner history is maintained for transparency (and bragging rights).
Recent winners are displayed directly on the News page.
This system is designed to:
- Reward active players
- Inject gil into the economy responsibly
- Add a little excitement each month without trivializing effort or progression
Monthly Login Campaign
Inspired by retail seasonal login campaigns — but tuned specifically for MistXI.
The Monthly Login Campaign rewards consistency and helps players progress naturally through all stages of the game.
Campaign Rules
- Daily Points: 100 points per login
- Streak Bonus: 300 bonus points on your 3rd consecutive login day
- Reset: Campaign resets on the 1st of every month
- Redemption NPC: Greeter Moogle
- Port San d’Oria
- Port Bastok
- Windurst Walls
Reward Philosophy
Rewards are tiered and designed to complement progression, not replace it.
The available rewards will rotate periodically to better match the active player base — sometimes highlighting specific jobs, level ranges, or content paths.
That said, the campaign generally follows this structure:
- 10 pts: Potions & Medicine
- 50 pts: Food Items
- 100 pts: EXP / Skill Books
- 300 pts: 12x stacks of 50-point food items
- 500 pts: Furnishings / Mog House items
- 750 pts: Mounts
- 1000 pts: Endgame support items (Sky god pops, etc.)
- 1500 pts: Endgame or rare gear
The goal is simple:
Log in consistently, feel rewarded, and keep moving forward — whether you’re leveling, skilling up, or preparing for endgame.
Introducing New Player-Commands
While typically reserved for GM characters and plugin/addon usage, it is possible to expose certain commands or create custom ones to the general population. In an effort to reinforce our philosophy of being “a server for the nostalgic, busy adults”, the following commands are being implemented to be available to the player base.
!signet
Grants the player their nation’s signet for a period of 2 hours.
Designed for Activity, Not Exploits
All of these systems were built with a single guiding principle:
Keep MistXI fun and active without breaking progression.
- No pay-to-win mechanics
- No forced grind
- No shortcuts that devalue achievements
Just steady incentives that reward players for doing what they were already going to do — play the game.
As always, feedback is welcome. These systems will continue to evolve alongside the community, and we’ll keep tuning them to best fit the server.
See you in Vana’diel. 🌙
