Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Signet page!
A Signet is a special type of status effect from Final Fantasy XI. They are mutually exclusive, though this is not a disadvantage since there is no overlap in their use. It will prevent the player's TP from decreasing while healing, but besides that, provides no other physical effects. It also does not go away, as all other status effects aside from Dedication, upon the player being KO'd.
The labeled campaign map.
Signet, Sanction, Sigil, and Ionis are all mutually exclusive. A player may only benefit from one at a time. Each grant different bonuses and only in certain zones. In this case, only benefits players on the original campaign map.
Having a signet will show that the player is participating in their country's Conquest. While they has this effect, a portion of their experience is automatically transferred into Conquest Points in areas subject to conquest. Conquest points can be exchanged for items and equipment as a sort of reward for their efforts. Furthermore, having an appropriate signet-type effect is a requirement for monsters to drop crystals when defeated.
A Signet is given the gate guards of the player's country, one representative in each of the opposing cities' embassies, and by all Ducal guards in Jeuno. The signet lasts a number of hours equal to the player's rank plus the nation's position in conquest the previous week—one hour for 1st place, two for second, and three for third. There are 10 ranks and 3 positions in conquest so a signet can last anywhere between 2 and 13 hours.
Conquest points can only be gained in areas subject to conquest, that being the main portion of Vana'diel in the 'present time' in game, all zones that were created before Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess. In game terms, this is the "middle lands."

Trivia
- Originally, Signet provided no benefits besides enabling crystal drops and adding conquest points when an enemy is killed. However, due to the decreasing popularity of the Signet as well as regular and Rise of the Zilart areas in favor of Aht Urhgan areas and their sanction, which provides experience bonuses, Signet was changed to allow players to keep their TP while resting.
- One of the things the player's Adventuring Fellow might say when chatted with is, "I just realized something. I've never once had Signet cast on me. Oh well, never mind..."
