Mentor

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Overview

Mentors are experienced adventurers who are willing to offer some of their time to help out their less traveled companions. They have no ties to Square-Enix, and act upon their own free will, as players of the community within the game/server. With this in mind, their answers may be varied upon different mentors, may give somewhat incorrect advice and/or have in no way any more power or authority over non-mentor characters.

Finding a Mentor

Mentors can be identified by the "M" icon appearing next to their names, or located by using the Mentor Search function in the Help Desk menu.

Becoming a Mentor

To become a mentor, you must first join the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Network (A.M.A.N., for short), which requires that you have a job at level 30+ and over 180 hours of /playtime. (See Adventurers' Mutual Aid Network, for more info.)

Once you have joined the A.M.A.N. program, you can turn your Mentor Status on and off through the /mentor command, or by using the Help Desk menu.
