FFXI GIL-What Worked by Thayos

Let us face it -- "A Crystalline Prophecy" was not a shining moment in the history of Final Fantasy XI. That said, the add-on was not a total failure, either. The add-on was small compared to previous expansion packs, yet ACP included some significant innovations that will hopefully be carried on in all future additions to the game.

The most basic improvement in "A Crystalline Prophecy" is the ability for anyone to help out with missions regardless of their own progress through the storyline. Gone are the days when friends can not help each other because they are not on the same mission. The ACP add-on continues the trend started by Fields of Valor and Level Sync, adding ease and convenience to encourage people to participate in the new content. As Final Fantasy XI Gil continues to age, this improvement to the mission system will allow players to continue progressing through the games storyline in years to come.

The ability for anyone to help with missions ties in with the most groundbreaking feature of ACP -- the mini expansions unique rewards system. Players who complete missions can choose between key items that progress the storyline or special keys that can lead to valuable items or rare, augmented armor pieces about ffxi gil. Upon completing the add-on, players are rewarded with an augmented level 72 ring and their choice of a customizable level 75 body pieces. Never before have players been allowed to choose their stats on a piece of gear, let alone one of endgame caliber. Although specialization prompted many players to choose identical stats for their gear selections, the opportunity to personalize a piece of endgame gear was a very refreshing addition to FFXIs reward system. Imagine if you could have added magic skill to a Tamas Ring or chosen an additional stat for an Ulthalams Ring?
