The third Premier Site Q&A is here! FFXIclopedia was able to submit questions about the newly introduced “Vision of Abyssea” add-on. Lets see what was asked!

What is the colored light you obtain after defeating an enemy in Abyssea? Do the light colors have anything to do with the different colored chests that can appear when a monster is defeated?

There are seven varieties of light obtainable, each providing a unique benefit to the player. Their effects are as follows:

  • Pearlescent: All sturdy pyxides will appear with greater frequency.
  • Azure: Blue pyxides will appear with greater frequency and yield superior spoils.
  • Ruby: Red pyxides will appear with greater frequency and yield superior spoils.
  • Amber: Gold pyxides will appear with greater frequency and yield superior spoils.
  • Golden: The adventurer will gain experience at an increased rate.
  • Silvery: The adventurer will obtain cruor at an increased rate.
  • Ebon: A small bonus will be granted to all colored light effects.

Multiple colors can be obtained at once, and each color will grow in intensity the more you acquire, granting even greater benefits. Use them well and these prismatic boons just might be the key to your survival in the harsh environs of Abyssea!


What is the the Flask of Primeval Brew? 2,000,000 cruor is quite a lot for a single item! It would be nice to know what it does before buying it!

Adventurers who quaff a flask of primeval brew will find themselves possessed of transcendent powers for a span of three Earth minutes.

While the deepest secrets of this beatific beverage are not for us to reveal, its benefits include a +999 boost to all attributes, Regen and Refresh that restore 300 points of HP/MP every three seconds, and other effects sure to bewilder even the most brutal Abyssean fiends.

Aside from the questions we received this time, we’d like to take this opportunity to announce two system enhancements that will be coming to Abyssea in the next version update. We will be adding a way for players to check their cruor supply, as well as the amount of time before they can obtain another traverser stone.

And of course, the upcoming Scars of Abyssea and Heroes of Abyssea promise to offer even tougher challenges and richer rewards—don’t miss them!

Powering through the heat-wave, Episode 5 of Voices of Vana’diel is coming your way! On today’s episode, we’re alienating the rest of our fanbase by discussing and taking calls on jobs that people feel need to be changed for the better or for the worse. We’re also proud to present our long-awaited SCH Vs. BLM debate, mediated by Celedh, and debated by Xerumeru and our newest host of the show: Nel! (Xeres for those who’ve heard her on past episodes). Xaze is mysteriously absent (mostly due to us not having a mic for him this week), but we managed to pull it together to put out a great episode anyway. So everyone, use the bathroom, get a drink, and put on some sunscreen… Episode 5 is here!

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Ridill Me This! Ridill Me This is a pod-cast focused on the end-game of Final Fantasy XI, and it is produced in a discussion panel format. Hosted by Ringthree, with the panel of Blaize, Izman, Iceblazek and Omoikitte, the show will cover new content, end-game battles, proper gearing, even linkshell management. This week we cover the VNM system from top to bottom. From how to run a VNM event, how to determine lots, how to fight the mobs, and even why the VNM system is fun, or not so fun. Finally, we take a look at what is coming in perhaps the most epic update since Treasures of Aht Urhgan was released. We hope you like our new show, and if you don’t it’s probably because you are gimp.
