Full Recruit Parties Restored for Maat Battles
All 15 Shattering Stars Maat battles now support a full party of six, including the player and up to five Recruits. Their one-participant limit and disabled Recruit encounter settings have been removed. Recruit inside the battlefield through the usual Recruitment menu or commands before engaging Maat.
The testimony, job and quest requirements still apply, along with the existing battle rules, Recruit job cooldowns and out-of-combat summoning checks. BLU, COR and PUP limit-break battles retain their existing full-party support. Other encounter limits are unchanged.
November 8, 2026 12:20 PM CSTBait and Switch in the Metalworks
Bait and Switch in the Metalworks
Bait and Switch can now be started with Salim in the Metalworks at Bastok fame level 3. Previously, he only offered ordinary dialogue because the quest had no progression script. The quest now includes tool selection, switch-order clues, guard distractions, captured-companion rescues and the reward cutscene.
Your selected tool determines the number of switches and the reward, including the Key Ring Belt for the Lucky Charm route. The Costume Kit route requires its key item and a completion with each of the other six tools. The Pocket Watch gives you one Earth hour. Leaving the Metalworks abandons the current attempt, and a successful reward is repeatable after the next Conquest tally.
If your inventory is full or you already hold the Rare Key Ring Belt, the reward remains available while you stay in the Metalworks. Clear the inventory restriction and examine the temple’s ??? again to collect it.

Email-Free Closed-Beta Account Security
Closed-beta sign-in no longer depends on email delivery. Allowed accounts use their existing username and password without email confirmation or a PIN when their IP address changes. Emailed password-reset links and PIN endpoints have been retired; password recovery is handled privately by the administrator. New registrations remain closed.
Character Rename, Remake and deletion now require typing RENAME, REMAKE or DELETE on the Account page instead of entering an emailed PIN. These confirmations are checked by the server and remain bound to the owning account, selected character and action. Characters must remain offline for changes. Password checks, failed-login lockouts, bans and restricted closed-beta access remain in place. Sign in again after this update to use the revised account tools.

Full EXP Restored for Alliances
The alliance-size EXP reduction has been removed. Each eligible member now receives full monster-kill EXP regardless of group size, including alliances with eight, 12 or 18 members and groups containing Recruits or Companions. Previously, groups above six received a 6-divided-by-group-size share.
Normal eligibility, same-zone range and level-difference rules still apply, along with monster EXP caps, chains, Dedication and other personal bonuses. Fixed quest, mission and Valor book completion rewards are unchanged. The website guidance now reflects full party and alliance EXP.

Carby Joins Titan Linkshell
Mention Carby with a question in Titan LS to receive a short reply addressed to you. Carby can check the live NM tracker, ferry and world time, public website information, item names and configured base loot rates from Titan’s deployed gameplay definitions.
Carby keeps conversations separate for each caller. Questions and bounded context are processed by OpenAI; replies appear publicly in LS. The companion reads approved information without changing characters, inventory or server settings. Existing closed-beta access restrictions remain in force.
Approved external wiki lookups report unavailable when a source blocks retrieval. Titan’s own live tools take priority over general FFXI information.

Simpler Field Recruit Prompts
Field-anchor recruit confirmations now show only the recruit’s main job, such as “Recruit RNG?”. Names and parenthetical role descriptions have been removed from that prompt. Recruitment choices, availability, cooldowns and party limits are unchanged.
