Battlefield (Final Fantasy XI)

FFXI Battlefield — A battlefield in Final Fantasy XI.

Battlefields (バトルフィールド, Batorufīrudo?) are a broad category of combat content in Final Fantasy XI. They are an "instance" based battle where a single player or group will enter a special arena and fight a predetermined event, without fear of interruption from other players. Battlefields can be divided into four categories: mission battlefields, burning circle notorious monster battlefields, high tier battlefields, and master trials. Mission battlefields are arenas where players fight the bosses in the story. Burning circle notorious monster battlefields (BCNM) are a category of side content that offer rewards to players. High tier battlefields are a more difficult version of the mission battlefields that offer a currency to upgrade the job-specific armor sets along with better rewards than the BCNM fights. Finally, master trials are the most difficult combat content in the game design for the sole purpose of challenging players.

Because terminology is shared when describing different pieces of content, terms such as 'battlefield' or 'BCNM' can mean different things to different groups of players. For the sake of disambiguation, any battlefield involved in the story will be referred to as 'nation battlefields' and optional battlefields will be called 'Burning Circle Notorious Monster Battlefields'.

For a list of combat arenas, see Final Fantasy XI battlefields.

Rules[]

Participant Restrictions[]

Different battlefields have different rules. Some battlefields will only allow one player to enter, others will allow up to eighteen players to join in the form of an "Alliance". Generally, though, the majority of battlefields allow a full party or a half party, up to three players, to enter. It is always acceptable to try to do a battlefield with less than the maximum number of players required, but obviously this almost always makes the encounter more challenging. Pets are often automatically dismissed upon entering the battlefield, and Adventuring Fellows cannot be called (although some Fellow-related quests have the Fellow show up automatically). Some battlefields also do not allow Alter Egos to be summoned, forcing players to clear them with only other players.

Most battlefields have an artificial level cap placed on the player when they enter. Since there is an overall limit cap, one might also want to assume all of them have a set maximum level for participants. When the player enters a level capped area, they will take on the statistics of his job for that level. They will also be limited to equipment appropriate for characters of that level. If the player enters a battlefield with a level under the level cap on the zone, they will be considered their current level. The level cap will not bring them up to meet the recommended level for the encounter. The player will not actually lose any experience just by entering the battlefield because of the level cap. In areas where a level cap is in placed on the player and should that player die, the experience point penalty for dying is applied as appropriate to the capped level or their current actual level, whichever experience penalty would be lower.

Battlefields usually require players to either be on a certain mission, quest, or have an appropriate entry item.

Mission Battlefields[]

Battlefields are the primary content structure for narrative bosses. While there are open world bosses that must be fought in the story, anytime players must fight a highly relevant story boss, it will be done through a mission battlefield.

Burning Circle Notorious Monster Battlefields[]

Burning Circle Notorious Monster Battlefields (BCNMs) have grown to encompass BSNMs, KSNMs, KCNMs, HKCNMs, SKCNMs. While some players also use the term to describe mission battlefields, for the sake of disambiguation, these two categories will be kept seperate. These fights can be entered using special orbs, which are obtained from Shami in exchange for Beastmen's Seals, Kindred's Seals, Kindred's Crests, High Kindred's Crests, and Sacred Kindred's Crests respectively. BSNMs are level capped, but the other forms of fight are not. Here are the level ranges for each of the materials used to purchase orbs:

BCNM Currency Level Ranges
Seal	Foe Level Range
Beastmen's Seal	1-69
Kindred's Seal	50-79
Kindred's Crest	70+
High Kindred's Crest	80+
Sacred Kindred Crest	100+

Seals for BCNMs will only drop from "Very Easy Prey" or higher monsters of a corresponding level range. Only one seal may drop at a time. Once every five minutes regardless of how many foes a player slays. Treasure Hunter does not increase the rate of seals, but lowers the time between drops by an unknown amount.

Battlefield is also a status effect that players who participate in a battlefield have for the duration. It isolates players from outside aid.

High-Tier Battlefields[]

These battlefields allow players to fight against the mission battlefields at a much higher difficulty level. In order to challenge these foes, a key item is required by each party member to enter the battlefield. Key items require certain missions and quests to be completed before they are able to be purchased with Merit Points. To purchase these key items, there are two requirements:

The player must be at least level 95.
The player must have completed the story version of the fight first.

The entry items can be purchased from these NPCs:

Trisvain in Northern San d'Oria (J-7)
Raving Opossum in Port Bastok (J-11)
Mimble-Pimble in Port Windurst (L-5)

Note: An added gimmick was implemented in this battlefield compared to the other new battlefields, such as Champion of the Dawn II, because of the higher amount of gear that is obtainable from this battlefield. For Normal, Difficult and Very Difficult, another equipment drop slot opens in the treasure pool for every one of the spitewardens that are killed during the battle. Opening armor slots in the treasure pool does not guarantee a piece of armor will drop, but the overall chance of a drops increases. See the official forum post for further details.

Master Trials[]

Master trials are the hardest form of combat content currently in the game. Due to there being no level cap, some of the earlier master trials have been surpassed in difficulty by more recent content. They were introduced in Rhapsodies of Vana'diel and since then, six master trials have been added to the game. The rewards for Master Trials are aesthetic lock-style weapons which have no actual use in combat. Due to how difficult this content is, very few players have obtained these lock-style weapons.There are a few requirements to enter in a master trial:

Players must have attained level of 99 and the Job Master title on the job that will be participating in the fight.
All Rhapsodies of Vana'diel missions must already be completed.
The entry item must be purchased from Emporox in Reisenjima and exchange 250 stored merit points (except for Heroines' Combat II which only requires 5 stored merit points).

Master trials also set certain restrictions:

There is a 60 minute time limit for each battle.
Alter Egos cannot be summoned.

Behind the scenes[]

Most battlefields are not actually instanced, even though they appear to be. Instead, a number of copies (usually three) exist of the actual battlefields, the monsters in them, and the reward crate; these can be viewed in the game's data files with the proper tools, and cheating tools can be used to warp into another group's battlefield. If all three battlefield copies are in use, no other group can participate, and they must wait in the small un-duplicated 'lobby' portion of the zone or leave. Until it was fixed, it used to be possible for dishonest players to exploit the ability access other players' battlefields to wait for them to defeat their foes, then steal the contents of their reward crate. The battlefield behind the hut in Ghelsba Outpost does not even have the pseudo-instancing described above. The quest to find an Adventuring Fellow requires the player to fight in this battlefield; when the quest was first released, players queued up in lines dozens long to enter the battlefield.

The Oathsworn Blade was released on February 13, 2024. Since then, many top linkshells have been attempting the fight, but no group has cleared it yet.
