Campaign

Campaign is the newest system for Final Fantasy XI, added by the expansion Wings of the Goddess. The word "campaign" refers to the allied efforts of the enlightend races of the Grand Duchy of Jeuno, the Republic of Bastok, the Kingdom of San d'Oria and the Federation of Windurst during the great Crystal War. Using Cavernous Maws, players are able to transport themselves to the past to help aid the efforts of the people in this time.

Players can sign up with one of the three starting nations. Players who join Bastok will be entered into the "3rd Legion." Players who choose to serve San d'Oria will be entered into the "Iron Ram Brigade."

Once a player has aligned themselves with one of the nations, they will be able to fight on behalf of that nation in Campaign Battles and Campaign Ops as well as gain the Sigil effect.

Sigil
Sigil works much like "Signet" in Conquest or "Sanction" in Besieged. In areas that are in the Campaign system, the Sigil will grant a bonus to the Allied Notes earned for killing creatures that grant experience to the player.

Sigil can be improved in duration by increasing the strong of the Ribbons and Medals. Additional bonsuses, such as latent regen, latent refresh, and increased meal duration can be purchased for 50 Allied notes. The effect will remain active so long as the Sigil is in effect and only within zones on the Campaign Map.
