About the LS

In this post, you will find information about the status and purpose of our linkshell. 

BallistaSession is cozily situated in Fenrir, and our purpose is to provide Fenrir with a community of people who enjoy and take part in FFXI's PvP. We are comprised of players of different levels, from those who have never done a match prior to joining the LS, to those with shimmering Ballista Royale Stars Caps; that being said, anyone who is interested in taking part in Ballista may do so, even without prior knowledge and skill. Weekly, we have about 2-4 events, and some players even stay for all of the three official matches that take place in Jugner, Pashow, and Meriphataud. On a good day, we usually have 12 people in official matches - so far on a really good day, 18 total. 

Mainly, the matches we attend/practice in are 60 caps, but for those interested in doing uncapped, we also have many people within the linkshell that gather together to do so. 

This linkshell's secondary purpose, besides providing a community of anxious ballistars a link to get in touch with each other easily, is to promote and circulate newer players into the "sport." I have great hopes in seeing the present condition of the Ballista, because it was something I enjoyed greatly. Players may attend matches that their schedules, in game and real life, allow, and it's a casual way to enjoy yourself on FFXI if you're tired of endgame events, Abyssea worm parties, or very misformed pick-up parties when you're seal hunting.

Slowly but surely, we're incorporating techniques as a group, to improve the gameplay in matches entirely, apart from simple domination and I-see-you-I-kill-you ideas that have been attributed to the "crappy ballista matches." For those who are more ambitious and have the time to dedicate to Ballista, feel free to send me a /tell, or message, in game or on here for test server matches with BallistaRevolution. 

( PARTICIPATION )
Although anyone who is interested may join the linkshell, official Ballista matches require a Ballista License which is easily acquirable. Click here for a guide on how to obtain your license. Diorama matches held in Ru'Lude Gardens will not require a license, however, it's best to get the license as soon as possible if you plan on participating in upcoming matches.
