The sneaky and stealthy goblins were able to infiltrate the FINAL FANTASY XI in-game item vaults and pilfer a ton of items right from under our noses... It turns out that it was all for a good cause because they are creating a variety of Golden Gobbiebags packed to the brim with goodies for some lucky adventurers to take home.

We have prepared a special survey based on the events and announcements of VanaFest 2012 to be posted after the event. By filling it out and answering the "Gobbie" question correctly you will be entered into a competition where you could win one of many Golden Gobbiebags, each exploding with a variety of rare in-game items!

Our staunch surveyors have braved the wilds once again, staving off brawny beasts and traipsing over troves of trackless territory to bring you the latest and greatest information pertaining to your realm.

This year, in addition to the widely lauded top monster rankings and the perennial statistics on relic, mythic, and empyrean weapons, our census crew has brought back data detailing the numbers of popular provisions in Vana'diel!
Our agents' field report is also chock full of figures regarding weapon skill merit point upgrades, Voidwatch, and a veritable cornucopia of other categories, so pore over the plethora of pages and enjoy all the data-dotted discoveries you could ever desire (alas and alack, there's little alliteration within)!

Read on to ascertain the present state of the realm.
