Radar

From FFXI Wiki

Overview

  • The Radar is a feature of the compass that marks NPCs and Players in the immediate area around you.
  • THF, NIN, RNG, BST, SMN, BLU are jobs that have monster detection on their radars starting at level 1 (available from Main Job and Support Job).
    • This is possibly to assist jobs that SE intended to be in the puller role, to spot wandering monsters or new spawns.
    • Jobs with this feature don't have it listed as a trait. It's a type of Hidden Effect.
  • The outer edge of the circle is 20 Yalms (excluding NIN), which indicates the maximum range of ranged attacks and weapon skills.
  • NIN has a larger compass with an outer circle at a distance of 25 Yalms, which is the maximum range for a ninja's ranged attacks.
  • During combat, the radar can be displayed by targeting the log window.
