MistXI is a private FFXI community built by launch-day players to rekindle the love of Vana’diel — with thoughtful quality-of-life improvements and a few custom systems that keep things lively.
The Mist Cluster
We host multiple environments so we can test safely and support different styles of play:
- Main Server:
play.mistxi.com— an era-focused module aimed at a more period-correct experience, with carefully chosen QoL tweaks. - 99 Cap Server:
legacy.mistxi.com— a version of MistXI that focused on 99-cap play before we shifted our primary focus to era content. - Development / Staging: Volatile by nature; may experience downtime or data loss as new code is tested.
What’s Supported
- Level cap: 75 (Main) / 99 (Legacy)
- Dual boxing: Allowed (maximum 2 per IP)
- Content: Supported up to Wings of the Goddess
- Some content may be missing or unstable — see the upstream “What Works” tracker
- Retail Trust system
- Fields of Valor / Grounds of Valor: Enabled (FoV + Tomes)
Quality of Life Changes
MistXI is designed for nostalgia and busy adult schedules.

Custom Systems
These are MistXI-specific features designed to keep the server fun and active without breaking progression.
The Slumbering Gods Lottery (Monthly)
Once per month, the Slumbering Gods choose a single adventurer and grant them prosperity:
- Reward: 1,000,000 gil
- Cooldown: The same character cannot win again within 3 months
- Selection: Random eligible character (GMs excluded)
- Activity requirement: Must have logged in within the last 14 days
Winners are announced on Discord, and a public history is kept for transparency and fun.
Recent winners are displayed on the News page.
Monthly Login Campaign
A creative twist on the retail seasonal login campaigns, tailored to help you progress.
- Points: 100pts per day
- Bonus: 300pts streak bonus on 3rd consecutive login day
- Reset: On the 1st of every month, the campaign restarts
- Rewards: A custom tiered list to help you progress through the game
- Redeem: At the Greeter Moogle in Port San d’Oria, Port Bastok or Windurst Walls
Rewards tiers will rotate occasionally to best compliment the player base. Sometimes highlighting jobs, certain levels, etc. However, the following schema is generally followed:
- 10pt: Potions/Medicine
- 50pt: Food Items
- 100pt: EXP/Skill Books
- 300pt: Stacks (12x) of the 50pt tier food items
- 500pt: Furnishings/MH Items
- 750pt: Mounts
- 1000pt: Endgame supporting items (sky god pops, etc)
- 1500pt: Endgame/rare gear
Economy Stimulation
During low-activity periods, we use small, controlled systems — such as the lottery and Auction House automation — to keep the economy moving and encourage players to level, craft, and trade.
Transparent, Community-Driven Adjustments
Balance changes and server updates are guided by player feedback and visible patch notes.
There is no pay-to-win and no hidden monetization.
Policies & Notes
- No pay-to-win: Progression is earned by playing.
- Stability: Staging environments may wipe; production aims to remain stable.
- Be excellent to each other: Discord is the fastest path for help.
- Terms of Service: Please review our Terms .
