Adventurers of Van’adiel love to run around town in their hard-earned gear, showing off their achievements in the Final Fantasy XI game.
So why not start the quest that will reward you with one of the most ‘fashionable’ head pieces in the game to show off around town, that also is a wonderful piece to macro in for situational use? The truth is, Maat’s Cap is a wonderful hat to macro in for weaponskills, SATA, straight tanking, jumps, cures, nuking, etc. and the added enchantment of Ru’lude Gardens warp isn’t bad either.
So why doesn’t every player have this hat? The versatility and potential of this hat would make it a wonderful addition to every adventurer’s wardrobe, and the fact that all jobs can wear it entices even the laziest leveler to level up some jobs to be able to equip the hat. So what? How do you get it? It’s simple, to obtain Maat’s Cap, you must complete the quest “Beyond the Sun”, which is accomplished by defeating Maat with Bard, Beastmaster, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Dragoon, Monk, Ninja, Paladin, Ranger, Red Mage, Samurai, Summoner, Thief, Warrior and White Mage in the 70 cap quest called Shattering Stars in FFXI gil.
So it’s simple, right? Beat Maat on every pre-CoP job, and then he gives you his hat. It’s a lot harder than that: First, you must have these fifteen jobs leveled to at least 66, which is the minimum level to enter the battlefield “shattering stars” , in order to even begin this quest. Second, you actually have to beat Maat for it to count towards your progress in the quest. You can repeat the battle as many times as possible until you actually defeat him, but defeating him can be hard, depending on the job in FFXI gil game.
At level 66, it’s possible to beat Maat, yet it usually requires capped skills, expensive gear, and taxing meds and food. Even with the best gear, food, and capped skills, a win isn’t guaranteed at level 66, so it would be smart to take into other things such as moon phase (if you’re leveling Summoner, for example), the particular day (for Black Mage, Red Mage, etc.), and what time it is (for Ninja). All of these aspects will help you beat the relentless Maat the 15 times required for your hat.
