Where to do true PVP?

So, i want to Pvp my friend, just for fun, but I don't want to do some crazy thing like Ballista or whatever.

So i heard of some area in Jueno or Ghelsba Outpost where you can talk to an npc or something and just fight your friend. So, how do i do that?? What npc? Is there a link on wiki? Cuz i couldn't find one.

Any help would be good, since we just wana fight one another.

Um.. no exp lost right?

Re: Where to do true PVP?

There is no link on the wiki because no such thing exists. You heard wrong, unfortunately.

FFXI is, at it's core, a cooperative game. So maybe find a desire to work together instead of a desire to fight each other. Or at least learn to do so within the confines of the systems in place for PvP.

Re: Where to do true PVP?

What you heard about was Diorama Abdhaljs-Ghelsba, a special-purpose Ballista battleground. You need to play in Ballista to earn some BP first, but you can spend BP with an NPC in Ru'lude Gardens to get a reservation for Diorama. Reservations are two hours long, and you get to decide the level cap, rules options, etc. You trade "pages" from a book to others so they can also come into the Diorama. It's still technically Ballista, with rooks and petras and all, but most people just use it for one-on-one duel-type fights like you talked about.

Re: Where to do true PVP?

Here's the link you wanted

Murph forgot about Diorama Abjalis: Ghelsba, the link gives you the info. Has some requirements, I'll let you figure it out.

Re: Where to do true PVP?

I didn't forget about it. But it follows the same basic rules of Ballista, so I figured that wasn't what he was after. But thanks for providing the links guys, I should have just to cover all the bases.

You also should have linked to WoW, Halo and Counter-Strike for true PvP.

And to true PvP

Why not? Everyone else does.

Also; When I want to pvp, I find the Brenner Diorama to be more fun.

Re: Where to do true PVP?

That does not mean I can't appreciate a good "your mom" joke. In fact, I dish them out more often than not.

Wrong game in my opinion. There's hundreds of online games which offer a more robust PvP environment (they're all over) Part of the problem is the inherent inability for players to do more than they can in a PVE-centric game like FFXI.

I heard good things about Guild Wars (many of my friends in WoW and FFXI are playing that now) so it might be worth your time to check it out.
