Call Beast is an ability available to Beastmasters in Final Fantasy XI starting at level 23. When Call Beast is used, a beast familiar is summoned. The type of beast is determined by the jug that is equipped. A Beastmaster must equip a jug of pet food in the "ammunition" equipment slot before calling a beast, or the command will fail and produce an error message. Jugs come in stacks of up to 12, and each time a beast is called, one is expended. The command is available with a Beastmaster subjob, but the inability to equip jugs renders this ability unusable for a Beastmaster subjob. It can be recast every 5 minutes.

Familiars[]

Familiars are special pets that are available exclusively to Beastmasters. They are called to a Beastmaster's side using special items and Call Beast, a Beastmaster job ability. There are only three familiars available at level 23, but the number of jugs (therefore also the number of different pets) rapidly increases as the Beastmaster levels up.

Familiars offer Beastmasters reliability and convenience in exchange for the power and/or endurance of Charmed monsters. While a Familiar is almost never as strong as a charmed monster of the same level, Familiars can be called instantly and remain for a set amount time (usually a very long time) before disappearing. They will never fail to be called or "un-charm" and attack the Beastmaster like charmed monsters.

Familiars also allow the use of Snarl, a job ability, and Ready, a pet command, which give the Beastmaster finer control over the flow of battle and increase the survivability of both the Beastmaster and the pet.

However, since Beastmasters tend to rely on the disposability of pets, most Beastmasters only use Familiars if local monsters are not available, as the relatively long Recast Time of Call Beast and the cost of using jugs make Familiars less disposable than charmed pets.
