How to Use FFXI Item Search

Search by Job

Select the jobs that can equip the item. When you select multiple jobs, they are combined with AND.

To find items that both THF and DNC can equip, select "THF" and "DNC".

Search by Weapon / Armor

Select a weapon type or an armor slot. When you select more than one, they are combined with OR.

Selecting "Club" and "Staff" finds items of both types.

"Weapon" and "Armor" search all weapons or all armor. They are handy when you don't want to limit the search to a specific weapon type or armor slot.

Search by Level

You can filter by the following three conditions:

Search by Version Update

You can also filter by the date of a version update. Version updates from December 2016 onward are supported.

You can also select all the updates of a year at once, such as "2025 (all)".

Search by Keyword

All of an item's information is searched. The main rules are:

• Separate keywords with spaces
• Keywords are combined with AND
• Searches are case-insensitive
• Wrap a phrase that contains spaces in double quotes ("store tp")

Entering RNG "store tp" finds Store TP equipment that RNG can equip.

Search a Specific Field

You can also limit a keyword to the item name, description, type, or jobs field. Use the form "field:keyword". The available field names are:

For example, to find the WHM AF +3 (Theophany +3), enter n:theophany n:+3.

OR Search

Joining keywords with two vertical bars makes an OR search.

For example, pet||automaton finds items that match either "pet" or "automaton".

Excluding Keywords

Putting "-" in front of a keyword finds items that do not contain that keyword.

For example, pet -automaton finds items that match "pet" but do not contain "automaton".

You can also put "-" in front of a field search, an OR search, or a property expression.

Excluded keywords are not highlighted, and excluded property expressions are not extracted into columns.

Search by Property

Keywords can also be expressions on stats and other properties. Wrap a property name that contains spaces in double quotes.

Six operators are available:

Adding "%" after the number searches only percentage values.
Example: HP>=10% (matches HP+10% and the like)

Property Name Suggestions

As you type in the search box, property names that contain what you typed are suggested.

Click a suggestion, or select one with the ↑ ↓ keys and press Tab (or Enter) to insert it. The number to the right of each suggestion is how many times it appears in the descriptions and augments of all items.

You can also find suggestions by common abbreviations such as DA (Double Attack), MACC (Magic Accuracy), and STP (Store TP). Abbreviations also work in expressions as they are (e.g. DA>=5).

Pet and Other Labeled Properties

Adding a label such as "Pet:", "Avatar:", or "Automaton:" searches only the properties written under that label.

It also matches when other properties come in between, as in "Pet: Accuracy+45 Haste+7%", or when the properties continue on the next line. Everything up to the next label is covered.

Extracting and Sorting Properties

When your search contains property expressions, the values of those properties are extracted and shown in columns. The main rules are:

• Up to three properties are extracted
• Results are sorted by the extracted properties (ascending when the expression uses <= or <, descending otherwise)

Below are the results for "Cure potency">=5 Enmity<0. They are sorted by Cure potency from highest to lowest, then by Enmity from lowest to highest.

Adding and Editing Conditions

You can build search conditions with buttons, without typing any symbols.

Click "+" on the left of the search box to open the condition editor. Type a property name or choose one from the suggestions. Before you type, the suggestions show the properties most common among the listed items, with the number of items that have each one.

After choosing a property name, set the following and click "Done":

When the search box loses focus, your keywords are shown as badges. Click a badge to edit that keyword in the editor.

Click "×" on a badge, or "Remove" in the editor, to remove that keyword. Click "Undo", shown right after you remove a keyword, to bring it back.

Sorting

Click a column header such as "Name" or "Lv" to sort. Each click cycles through ascending, descending, and unsorted.

To sort by multiple columns, hold Shift while clicking the column headers.

Copying the URL and Clearing

The URL changes to match the search conditions you select or enter.

Click the link icon (Copy URL) to the right of the search box to copy the URL of the search results to the clipboard. Bookmark it to bring up the same results at any time.

Click the arrow icon (Clear) to its left to remove all search conditions.

On Smartphones

On a narrow screen, the layout changes as follows:

• Job, weapon, armor, and other filters open with the "Filters" button to the right of the title
• Selected filters are shown as badges. Tap a badge to remove that filter
• Name, description, level, and other details are combined into a single "Item" column
• Extracted property columns are not shown, but they are still used for sorting
• The list can be scrolled horizontally

Augments

Augments are searchable too. Augment data is registered for all equipment that can be augmented in game, except the following:

• Skirmish weapons
• Alluvion Skirmish weapons
• Arcane Glyptic weapons (Reisenjima weapons)

Aug, Rare, and Ex icons are shown to the right of the item name, just like in game. The "Aug" icon appears on equipment with augment data. Hover over or click it to see the augments.

Keywords and property expressions also search augments. Matching augments are shown on an "Aug:" line below the description.
