Adventurer Appreciation Campaign 2013

May 16 continues to spark fires in the heart of Vana'dielians across the globe, for today celebrates the eleventh year since FINAL FANTASY XI went live in Japan! The realm's fate has rested firmly upon the strong and stable shoulders of adventurers like you ever since its inception—and your meritorious efforts in preserving it have not gone unnoticed! Once again, we take great pleasure in announcing the start of the Adventurer Appreciation Campaign—a manifestation of our gratitude for constantly keeping watch over the... Hm? What could that moogle be doing, waving his teensy little arms like his pom-pom just got pulled off? Slow down, now! Just what in Tavnazia is this about the "Mog Institute mock exams"? However, let us first usher in this most auspicious of events with a memorial message from our producer, Mr. Matsui! Today marks a full eleven years since FINAL FANTASY XI first began service, a grand achievement that I never thought I'd see in even my wildest dreams. Looking back over the years I've spent working on XI, I'm reminded of the times the team spent running around like cockatrices with their heads chopped off. Through it all, however, we were lucky enough to receive kind—or sometimes necessarily strict—support from all of you adventurers. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your invaluable contributions during these past eleven years. Though the eleventh anniversary may be an awkward one for most games, it carries an incredible amount of weight for FFXI, so let's work together to make this 11th Vana'versary the most memorable year ever—both in- and outside of Vana'diel! We look forward to working together with all of you for many more years to come. -FINAL FANTASY XI Producer Akihiko Matsui Illustration : Mitsuhiro Arita Event Schedule The Adventurer Appreciation Campaign will run from Thursday, May 16, 2013, at 1:00 a.m. until Thursday, May 30, 2013, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT) Participating in the Adventurer Appreciation Campaign This year, we have taken our traditional Anniversary ring and imbued it with a decade's worth of powerful magic...plus one to grow on!

While tradition dictates that distinguished individuals across the realm send congratulatory letters, this year there is only a sole communiqué—and it eschews commendations for an explanation of the "Mog Institute mock exams." Written by the institution's infamous and draconian director himself, what sort of academic assessment does this mysterious missive hold for Vana'diel's valiant 'venturers...? Proctor Moogle Locations: Southern San d'Oria (I-8) / Bastok Markets (F-8) / Windurst Waters (north side) (F-9) Mog Tablets Unleashed! Ordinarily, upon the discovery of all eleven mog tablets, three random Super Kupowers will take effect. For the duration of the Adventurer Appreciation Campaign, however, the full set of eleven powers will be unleashed. So go on, get out there and help your fellow adventurers scour the land in the search effort! Brush up on details pertaining to areas hosting mog tablets and the list of Super Kupowers. *The effects of Super Kupowers will remain active for one week (Earth time) following the discovery of all eleven mog tablets.

We will reveal more information regarding the census as time goes on, so stray not far from the bulletin boards.
