Sanction

From FFXI Wiki

Sanction icon.png Sanction is an effect similar to Signet and Sigil available from Imperial gate guards in Aht Urhgan areas.

These NPCs are:

In order to receive Sanction, a player must have signed up as a Mercenary with Naja Salaheem by completing Immortal Sentries (TOAU Mission 2).

  • While equipped with Sanction, players will have the opportunity to receive crystals as well as Imperial Standing credits at a rate of 10% of the base Experience Points while battling in Aht Urhgan areas.
  • While equipped with Sanction, if the Astral Candescence is present in Al Zahbi, the player will receive bonuses to EXP as well as one other selected bonus for 100 Imperial Standing credits if desired (refresh, regen, or increased food duration).
    • The refresh effect is 1/tick and activates at <75% MP when Imperial Defense is at level 8.
    • The regen effect is 1/tick and activates at <95% HP when Imperial Defense is at level 8.
    • The food duration bonus is +120% when Imperial Defense is at level 8.
    • The experience bonus is 15% when Imperial Defense is at level 8. (The lowest is 5% at level 0, and increases by 2% per level up to Defense Lv. 3. After that, it then increases by 1% per level up to Defense Lv. 8)
  • The bonus received from these effects depends on the current Imperial Defense level, and can be increased slightly by receiving the effect of Sanction while equipped with Glory Crown (adds one to the defense level for the bonus calculation, with the cap on the effect at level 8).
    • The refresh effect will require a lower MP level to activate with lower defense levels.
    • The regen effect will require a lower HP level to activate with lower defense levels.
    • The increased food duration effect will be shortened at lower defense levels.
    • The experience bonus will be reduced at lower defense levels.
  • The maximum duration of Sanction increases with the player's Mercenary Rank.
  • If the Astral Candescence is not in Al Zahbi, Imperial Standing can still be obtained, but the bonuses will not be received and the duration of Sanction will be reduced significantly.
