Site Updates - August 11, 2005

Posted by: Cuer - Thu Aug 11th, 2005 04:39 pm EDT

Extra information for items goes in with this site update. All items in the database were updated with those flags, even though they aren't listed as being updated below.

Extra flags were added to the items database, reflecting more detailed information directly from the FFXI data files. Along with older flags, these are all listed under the Flags: line on an item (see items such as the Adamantoise Soup or Kirin's Osode for examples of these new flags). The flags that can be listed are:
- Rare - A standard flag that means a character can only hold one copy of that item in his Inventory, Safe, or Storage.
- Exclusive - A standard flag that means an item must be kept by a single character; it cannot be traded or delivered to another character, or sold on the Auction House. Some items that are flagged Exclusive may be sold to NPC merchants.
- Temporary - This flag is used on Ballista items, for items that can be dug up and must be used by the end of a Ballista match.
- Not NPC Sellable - This flag means that an item cannot be sold to any NPC Merchants. By default, any item without this flag can be sold to them. See the Merchants Guide for more info on how to get the best prices for items.
- Not Auction House Sellable - Any item with this cannot be sold on the Auction House. Important Note: If an item has either this flag OR an Exclusive flag, it cannot be sold on the Auction House. Some items have one flag, some the other, many have both; it all just depends on how they were flagged by the FFXI developers.
- Not Deliverable - This flag prevents an item from being sent to another character by an Item Deliverer NPC. Any item with the Exclusive flag will not be able to be delivered, either, even if they do not have this flag.
You will note that some items with the Exclusive and/or Not Auction House Sellable flags have an Auction House Category displayed on them. In order to make it easy to look up all items of a particular type, all items that can be equipped (Armor, Weapons, or Ammo) have the Auction House category that they would go in, even if they can't be sold on the Auction House. For example, if you look up all Dagger weapons, that search will include Exclusive Dagger weapons, so that all weapons of that type can be compared to each other.
The four new Beastmen Headgear quests went into the database, with full walkthroughs for each one, and the many new Notorious Monsters that they spawn. If you have more information about those quests, please post it in the Beastmen Headgear Quests discussion.
