If you need it done, we'll get it done. Now, before you join our rank how about you show us what you're made of?

Step 1.) Read the Rules and Guidelines

Before we'll even consider you for joining us you must read and understand the Rules and Guidelines section located on the front page. If you need assistance they can be found here:

Forum: Rules and Guidelines
Linkshell: General Rules and Guidelines
Linkshell: Interaction Rules and Guidelines

After you finish reading these move onto Step 2!

Step 2.) Register a Forum Account

This step is easy! Simply click on the registration link, fill out yer info, submit it, and check your email! Remember that it might get sent to your junk folder so be sure to check that first before anything else!


Step 3.) Create an Introductory Letter

Still with us? Good good! Now after you've got yourself registered and logged in mosey on down to the Recruitment Board and take a gander at the Introduction Letter Layout Guide. Copy and paste the layout in a new topic, edit in your info, and then hit "Send". Way to go!

Step 4.) Get Yourself Pearled

If you've made it this far then you've got yourself a chance! Check the Recruitment Thread for a list of the current recruiters and Council members available. Choose one, log into FFXI, and request an interview. But don't be discouraged if nobody is available to assist you! We're checking the forums regularly for new members so if we don't get you right away give us a gentle nudge! But be sure not to pester us non-stop for an interview, chances are you'll end up being blacklisted and all that effort to create a letter will be for nothing.

Step 5.) Create a Character Bio (Optional)

While not required, we encourage members to post a bio about their characters under the Character Bios section. Follow the layout there to set one up.

Well, that's it! Do everything right and you'll be on your way to joining us! See ya in Vana'diel, soldier!
