Missions (Final Fantasy XI)

Missions are optional quests the player can undertake in Final Fantasy XI. They differ from regular Quests in that Missions are sequential and much more tied into the main storyline of the game and its expansions. While the completion of Missions is entirely optional, it is highly recommended that the player complete them, as completing them increases your Rank, granting access to such crucial features as Chocobos and Airships, among other benefits.

What a Mission entails varies - most require the player to fight, be it generic enemies or specific Notorious Monsters. Other require the acquisition of a particular item, delivery, or even just going to a location and speaking to an NPC. Some Missions even only involve watching a cutscene.

Missions are divided into several different campaigns. The original game has campaigns for the Republic of Bastok, the Kingdom of San d'Oria, and the Federation of Windurst each, which crisscross each other up to and including the final mission. Rise of the Zilart introduced its own campaign, as well as extended the three nations' campaigns in separate directions. Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess each feature their own campaigns as well, as do the various Add-Ons.
