CatsEyeXI Content/Crystal Warrior
From FFXI Wiki

Registration
Players who wish to participate in Crystal Warrior mode must register a new account on the website. That will be flagged for this mode by clicking the Crystal Warrior “checkbox” on the creation screen.
- Once enabled, the Crystal Warrior status cannot be removed, and players are not allowed to leave the program.
- Players must also create their Crystal Warrior character through the character creation process on the website.
Features
Crystal Warrior is designed as a completely fresh experience. Combining Self-Found and Classic 75-era style gameplay.
This separate mode runs alongside existing CatsEyeXI players.
Crystal Warrior has two modes, Standard and Unbreakable. With the main differences currently being that:
- Crystal Warriors will be denoted by their colored name and accompanying icon. Next to their character's name in-game, and in search results.
- Outposts currently must be controlled by your nation in order to do a Supply Run.
- Players must still complete the supply quest from their nation Signet NPC.
- BCNM teleporting is enabled for Crystal Warriors via Domenic in the Tenshodo of Lower Jeuno.
- This is designed to provide a way for Crystal Warriors to easily participate in BCNMs while maintaining the challenge of the Crystal Warrior mode.
- The announcement system will globally broadcast Crystal Warrior milestones and deaths.
- Unbreakable characters have their own announcements and leaderboards.
- Unbreakable characters de-level to 1 upon death outside of a BCNM or before hitting 75.
Otherwise, all of the Standard features of a Crystal Warrior apply to an Unbreakable character.
Choose carefully. Do not underestimate Unbreakable. It is recommended that most players choose Standard to enjoy Crystal Warrior.
This is a Private Server, and some unexpected aggro or being one-shot by a Final Sting or Berserked Lamb Chop will happen. However, being a private server also means that a Standard CW will have an awesome custom experience.
Standard Crystal Warrior
- On death, the player’s current job will not be reset to Level 1.
Unbreakable Crystal Warrior
- On death, the player’s current job will be reset to Level 1 (a.k.a. shattering).
Mijin Gakure has been modified to give 3 shadows, and does not kill the character upon use (and thus does not de-level the player to 1).- Unbreakable characters will not de-level in a BCNM (or any other Level Restriction activities, except Garrison and CatsEyeXI_Content/Crystal_Warrior_Content#Allied_Incursion), allowing them to safely push the boundaries or experiment without dire consequence.
- Upon reaching Level 75, the job will no longer reset to Level 1 on death (even if you de-level to 74 first), allowing players to safely participate in all of the endgame content CatsEyeXI has to offer.
- Players will not lose any items, spells, or skill points as a result of the death.
- When Prestiging, you will be susceptible to shattering again, until you reach lv75 again or Prestige V.
- Shattering while prestiging keep your current prestige level, e.g. you are Lv.30 Prestige III, you'll reset to Lv.1 Prestige III.
- Unbreakable Crystal Warriors may convert to Standard. First, Speak to the Crystal Guide Book in Provenance, then trade a
Faded Crystal to the NPC Shattering Stone in Mhaura.
- There is no changing back to Unbreakable after this point.
- Shattering Stone will also give you the opportunity to restore 1 of your 5 highest deaths, gaining all the levels back for that chosen job only.
- Total EXP loss is recorded, and the following rewards can be obtained by talking to Petros after reaching the corresponding "milestones". Congratulation I guess 🎉
| Total EXP loss | Reward |
|---|---|
| 100,000 |  Excalipoor
|
| 1,000,000 |  Excalipoor II
|
| 1,500,000 |  Chicken Knife II
|
| 2,000,000 |  Melon Slicer
|
| 3,000,000 |  Premium Mogti
|
See Experience Points/Level Breakdown to see the total exp loss per level. Spoiler, that's a lot of dying.

| Level | EXP |

- Levels 1-5 = 5% per level (25%)
- Levels 6-10 = 6% per level (30%)

Rewards
The Crystal Warrior mode is designed to reward players as they progress through the game. The following rewards are implemented:
- Players will be eligible to unlock two trust slots through exclusive Crystal Warrior quests at levels 10 and 40, respectively.
- Character progression milestones have point values assigned to them throughout gameplay. Including leveling and completing missions or quests.
- Exclusive Rewards have been made available to participants of the program.
- These items were designed to overall be meta-altering. Some are stronger than other options in general, but that was not the general aim.
- All players will still need to participate in end-game events to acquire best-in-slot items.
- Other than armor sets, select à la carte items will be made available that can be augmented using a selected currency (TBD).
Helper Rewards
When players help with missions and progression quests, they receive EXP scrolls. These are also tallied on the leaderboard.
Crystal Warriors can claim additional rewards upon reaching "Helper Milestones"
- All EXP scrolls stack and are no longer
"Rare". - Players may not use EXP scrolls inside battlefields.
