Hiiiiii!

*waves*

Let's start:


Databases/Tools:

FFXIclopedia - quite possibly the best cross-referenced database of all things FFXI. Get into the habit of using this.

FFXI-Atlas - A database of all the maps in Vanadiel. Useful for having all maps in one place as well as their great map overlays (showing Notorious Monster spawns, Elementals, Treasure Chests and Coffers, etc).

FFXIAH - This is a site displaying up-to-date information from the Auction House shared by Jeuno and Whitegate (ie. not the starting cities). Very useful, especially from level 20 onwards when you should actually be heading to Jeuno.

FFXI-Bestiary - A database of enemies (mobs). The best thing on this site are the two tools on the left, showing EXP Mob Search and Skill-up Mob Search. Not infallible, though both are a nice starting point.

In-game terminology - This is a great list of all those peculiar terms that regular players take for granted.

Campsitarus - Fantastic database of popular (and not so popular) partying locations, right from level 10 through to 75.

Campsitarus on VB - The same info as above, but laid out in a different format. Be sure to put whichever you prefer into your Favourites.

Pyogenes FFXI timer (all GMT) - Especially useful for finding out whose RSE quest is currently active and where, but also has a bunch of other cool stuff.

MithraPride FFXI timer - More of the same, preferred by many.

Firefox FFXI Helper plug-in - Another timer - this time in plug-in form - specifically for Mozillaphiles.

Vana'naVi 3 - A great tidy, compact timer tool. This newest version is mainly in JP however.
Direct download

Vana'naVi 2 - Same as 3, but en anglais.

Aden's Renkei Chart - Renkei is the JP term for Skillchain. This skillchain chart is typically the most well-used. It's designed well and is as up to date information-wise as any chart that I'm currently aware of.

Revelin's FFXI Calculator - A neat little application that has a bunch of cool uses.


Guides/Info:

Some of these FFXIclopedia guides are still Works In Progress at the time of posting, I think. Still nice for newbies to browse through however:

New Players
New Players in San d'Oria
New Players in Windurst
New Players in Bastok
New Players in Valkurm Dunes
New Players in Jeuno
New Players in Kazham

Somepage's Food Guide - Probably the best introduction to the world of food usage. Yummy info.

Signet - New player? Read up on Signet. Then never leave town without it.

/check - New player? /check will save your life!

Outpost Warp Quests - These are a means of warping instantly between your home nation and the various Outposts located throughout Vana'diel. Of particular importance is Zulkheim (Valkurm Dunes). Be sure to pick this up at the earliest opportunity. Its goodness is large.

Which Job Should I Play? - A very concise and neat overview of FFXI's jobs by IfritnoItazura.
