    Re: What are Avatar Battles?

    Avatars are the FFXI name for summoned monsters. Final Fanatsy has a long line of Summoners with the one of the most famous being Rydia from Final Fantasy 4(the Nintendo DS remake hits July 22 if you feel like looking into it).

    Avatar battles in FFXI are mostly to gain the right to use that summon creature as the FF job "Summoner". They also have other rewards for players who aren't really into playing that paricular job. Some like fighting Barahmut and Carbuncle Prime are just part of advanced quests with some fun rewards.

    Carbuncle himself is the first avatar most summoners get and he's really a reward for unlocking the job...so he's easy ^^

      ...getting him is easy, rather. He's actually a pretty tough fight as I understand.

        As explained above, Avatars are FFXI's version of summons or guardians. However, for the newly starting adventurer, you have very little to worry about avatars. Just worry about getting signet and not dying from Plaguebreath.

          As far as I know, carbuncle is the most damaging summon in the game, as far as dynamis and astral flow goes. x.x

                  Eh? Seriously? Carby's the only Astral flow I can get hit by in dynamis and just shrug it off.

                    Yesh. lol

                    Whenever my linkshell does Kirin, Garuda or the other summons are a cakewalk compared to carby, which wipes a lot of people out. T.T
