'''[[Wedding Guide]]''' - Found that special someone in [[Vana'diel]]?  Already gave her jewelry and clothing... maybe the [[Allure Ring]] and [[Love Torque]]?  Already plied him with all all the [[Love Chocolate|Love]], [[Desire Chocolate|Desire]], [[Amour Chocolate|Amour]], [[Attraction Chocolate|Attraction]] and [[Romance Chocolate|Romance]] Chocolate he can eat?  Not sure how to take it to the next level?  You can't move in together and share your [[Mog House]].  You can't run off to the Far East (known to be associated with [[Lucky Roll|gambling]], and possibly chocobo-through nuptuals).  You have no choice but to pull the trigger and ask that special someone to marry you.  But where to begin?  The process is a long one, but those truly committed to each other will be presented with festivities that cannot be beat.  Check out the '''[[Wedding Guide]]''' to check out your options!
 
<br><br>
 
'''[[Hobbies]]''' - What?  You say [[Chocobo Digging]] isn't your thing?  You reviewed that article and spent the last month finding pebbles and flint stones?  Looking for another way to pass the time?  Well look no further than the [[Hobbies]] page, which identifies seven time consuming, but potentially profitable, hobbies in Vana'diel.  Are you looking to take up an activity while out roaming the fields?  Consider trying your hand at [[Harvesting]] or [[Logging]].  Fashion yourself as more of a spelunker?  Maybe [[Excavation]] or [[Mining]] is your calling.  Prefer to stay indoors and close to town?  [[Gardening]] is your best bet.  Or maybe your Mithra skin needs a nice suntan.  If so [[Clamming]] is for you.  Check out the '''[[Hobbies]]''' page to get more information on the Hobbies of Vana'diel!

For those of you new to our [[FFXIclopedia]], please feel free to use our site as your one-stop complete information source for all Final Fantasy XI material.  This site will strive to be a veritable encyclopedia of Final Fantasy XI information.
 
 
There are four ways for you to browse this site: 
 
# The easiest way is to use our [[Main Page#Knowledge Base|Table of Contents]] to the left.  The sysops have placed the [[Main Page#Knowledge Base|Table of Contents]] on this main page to create a simple site navigation tool for you to use.
 
# The quickest way to find what you are looking for is to use the '''Search''' box in the '''Navigation''' tool bar on the upper left hand corner of your screen.  Enter in any Final Fantasy XI term, and the engine will take you directly to the [[FFXIclopedia]] page for that term.
 
# If you do not know what you are looking for, or just wish to browse every single page available on this site, you can view an alphabetical list of '''[[Special:Allpages|All Pages]]'''.  Albeit an inefficient way to view this site, it will give you an idea of what is completed and what is not.
 
# Finally, if you are just feeling adventuresome, click the '''[[Special:Randompage|Random Page]]''' link in the '''Navigation''' tool bar.  This will take you to a randomly selected page in our [[FFXIclopedia]] database.
