+ | A [[races|race]] of proud warriors, the Elvaan are the founders of two legendary orders of knights in the nation of [[San d'Oria]]. Physically, they are characterized by their tall, slender bodies and pointed ears. Their unshakable pride and faith in their beliefs is visible in each of their determined faces. Both males and females of the race excel in swordsmanship. Most Elvaan seem to eschew the business world, preferring an austere lifestyle as skilled sword fighters. |

| + | The Elvaan are renowned for establishing a strict and powerful military originally divided into three sects. The Temple Knights, from which came the job [[Paladin]], value honor and a deep, unshakable faith. The Royal Knights, on the other hand, are more secular and are involved in more missions outside the Kingdom. The third arm, the Dragon Knights, were along the lines of personal Knights to the King. The [[Dragoon]] job draws inspiration from the Dragon Knights, which no longer exist. |

The Royal Knights or what deended into Paladin's, and the Temple Knights basically Red mage (oh and the Dragon Knights, aka [[Dragoon]]). Together these orders are charged with protecting the Elvaan nation of San D'Oria, and its temple to [[Altana]] (and its Former King). |

They are known for being stuffy; that is, having class, and honoring a noble life. They can be quite rude to the people they look down upon and can seem rather snooty... |

| − | Elvaan live up to their reputation as a primarily warrior race. Their stats excel at many roles that primarily require ample amounts of strength, vitality or hit points. Due to their limited mana pools, players typically find Elvaan challenging in the magical prospects. Elvaan excel at some of the most common jobs in the game as well as some of the more unique fighter jobs. |

| − | <p align=justify>The primary stat of the [[Bard]] job is [[Charisma]], in which Elvaan are not lacking. Many of the other stats are beneficial to have, but the most important besides [[CHR]] is [[MP]] (as the most common [[Support Job|sub job]] for [[Bard]] is [[White Mage]]). At level 25, a [[Bard]] has access to [[Mage's Ballad]], a powerful spell that acts as an AoE [[Refresh (Status Effect)|Refresh]] for the party. An Elvaan [[Bard]] should probably priorize [[MP]] adding equipment over [[Charisma]], but should not shun either stat. Elvaan can make exceptional [[Bard]]s, but this can be said of any race to try this job.</p> |

| − | <p align=justify>Elvaan make excellent [[Beastmaster|Beastmasters]]. The key to being a great [[Beastmaster]] is having good [[CHR]], [[MND]], and, if possible, good [[STR]] and [[VIT]]. Elvaan excel in all four stats, making them excellent Beastmasters. With a [[White Mage]] as a [[subjob]] Elvaan can't go wrong while soloing, allowing them to buff themselves and shorten their downtime with healing. [[White Mage]] also gives a boost to [[CHR]] and [[MND]], improving the effectiveness of [[Reward]] and [[Charm]]. As for an Elvaan [[Beastmaster]] in a party; [[Ninja]] or [[Warrior]] subjobs will make a Beastmaster into an amazing [[damage dealer]], and with the right equipment a decent [[tank]].</p> |

| − | <p align=justify>The one downfall of an Elvaan [[Beastmaster]] is the lack of [[DEX]]. Every Elvaan [[Beastmaster]] should go for [[CHR]], [[VIT]], and [[STR]] but if you can squeeze in some [[DEX]] then Elvaan can't go wrong with this job.</p> |

| − | <p align=justify>Elvaan suffer from a lack of the twin stats needed to be a successful [[Black Mage]], [[MP]] and [[INT]]. Thus, of all the jobs available to an Elvaan, [[Black Mage]] is likely the role in which Elvaan are most lacking. To overcome their natural ineptitude, an Elvaan player should invest heavily in any equipment which enhances his low [[MP]] pool and enhances his low [[INT]]. One of the key components of this is the Elvaan's Racial Specific Equipment, or [[RSE]].</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify>Elvaan should stock up on [[MP]] enhancing foods as well, and carefully consider their choice of [[Support Job|sub job]]s, popular choices including [[White Mage]] or [[Summoner]] for its [[MP]] boosting job traits. Elvaan's low [[INT]] means less damage, hence they are less likely to draw enmity from the monster they're engaging.</p> |

| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify>[[Dark Knight]] is an excellent job for Elvaan, enhancing their already tremendous strength with even more raw power. This means their hits will shred through magically enhanced defense and skewer large amounts of damage with sheer physical hit power.</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify>The downside of course, is the Elvaan's lack of [[DEX]] which impedes their accuracy. Care should be taken to enhance their [[DEX]] and hit percentage. Elvaan have high [[HP]] and [[VIT]] which are both ideal should a [[Dark Knight]] draw the attention of the monster away from the tank.</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify>[[Dark Knight]]s have access to sums of black magic, a fact other races capitalize on more capably then the Elvaan. An Elvaan [[Dark Knight]] should use this to enhance his abilities with the cruel [[Drain]] and [[Aspir]] spells, along with the Absorb-Stat spells available to him mid level. A [[Dark Knight]] is still a warrior first and his [[Support Job|sub job]] usually reflects this as a [[Warrior]] or [[Thief]].</p> |

| − | <p align=justify> Elvaan offers [[Dragoon]], from a melee type damage dealer's point of view, pretty much the same as it offers [[Dark Knight]]. An outstanding [[STR]] stat will make phsysical hits hit hard when they hit home... or, 'if' they hit home. Again, an Elvaan's lacking [[DEX]] will make it hard to hit continuous blows and create a proper TP buildup. Also, it will hinder the more powerful [[Weapon Skill]]s such as [[Penta Thrust]] since they rely on connecting multiple hits to deal damage.</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify> At level 30, the Job Trait [[Accuracy Bonus]] will help improve the hit rate significantly. This doesn't mean, however, an Elvaan [[Dragoon]] should should ignore gaining as much [[DEX]] and [[Accuracy]] through armor and accesories as possible. In the end, the role of a [[Dragoon]] in most types is to deal damage and participate in the party's [[Renkei]]. The proper subs for this would be [[Warrior]], [[Thief]], and perhaps [[Samurai]], if the [[Dragoon]] is required to participate in multiple [[Renkei]]s.</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify> From the mage-type [[Support Job|sub job]] point of view, Elvaan offers a very interesting mix. For those subbing [[White Mage]] to his or her [[Dragoon]], they will find the high [[MND]] stat of an Elvaan to enhance already mediocre [[Cure]]s and [[Enfeebling]] magic. Low [[MP]] may pose a problem, and the dedicated Healing-oriented [[Dragoon]] will want to enchance his low stock of mana with accesories for drawn-out battles.</p> |
||
| − | |||
| − | <p align=justify> In the end, no matter what your orientation, the Elvaan race has the potential to offer the best [[Dragoon]]s. A lot of time, dedication, and expensive gear is required to cover their shortcomings and maximize their capability </p> |

| − | <p align=justify>In my experience, an [[Elvaan]] [[Red Mage]] is perfectly suited to the job. They gain [[HP]], [[STR]], and [[VIT]] over the [[Tarutaru]], making them more survivable. They also gain much more [[MP]] than the [[Galka]], and have the best [[MND]] of all the races. As [[Hume]] and [[Mithra]] go, I feel they are both equally balanced to take on the role a [[Red Mage]] presents very well. Also, for solo play, an [[Elvaan]] [[Red Mage]] is quite effective, if someone is interested in that route.<p> |

Male Elvaan
A race of proud warriors, the Elvaan are the founders of two legendary orders of knights in the nation of San d'Oria. Physically, they are characterized by their tall, slender bodies and pointed ears. Their unshakable pride and faith in their beliefs is visible in each of their determined faces. Both males and females of the race excel in swordsmanship. Most Elvaan seem to eschew the business world, preferring an austere lifestyle as skilled sword fighters.
The Noble Elvaan
The Elvaan are renowned for establishing a strict and powerful military originally divided into three sects. The Temple Knights, from which came the job Paladin, value honor and a deep, unshakable faith. The Royal Knights, on the other hand, are more secular and are involved in more missions outside the Kingdom. The third arm, the Dragon Knights, were along the lines of personal Knights to the King. The Dragoon job draws inspiration from the Dragon Knights, which no longer exist.
This race has excellent hearing, second only to that of the Mithra. Elvaan are physically the most powerful of the 5 races and the second most physically durable. They are known for being stuffy; that is, having class, and honoring a noble life. They can be quite rude to the people they look down upon and can seem rather snooty...
The History of the Term Elvaan
The word "Elvaan" is most likely just a variant on the plural for the word "Elf" -- a word (and all related words) that is said to derive from the same Indo-European root albh as the Latin albus (meaning white). Unlike elves in many western RPGs, the Elvaan in FFXI resemble more closely the ones from Norse mythology than the Tolkien archetype.
