|Intro Text=A '''[[Gold World Pass]]''' is acquired via a [[World Pass Merchant]], and is also represented by a ten-digit number. However, the set in-game price is only 1,000 gil and does not fluctuate with the server's population as a [[World Pass]] did. 

The term of validity is also seven days (Earth time), also the same as the former and now deprecated [[World Pass]].  However, unlike normal World Passes, the [[Gold World Pass]] can be used only once. Thus, if a player wishes to invite multiple friends to play [[Final Fantasy XI]], a Gold World Pass must be purchased for each friend.

Unfortunately, the inviting player must wait '''seven''' earth days in between inviting each friend as only one can be purchased per earth week.  A popular way to circumvent this is to give one of the new friends 1,000 gil to purchase a [[Gold World Pass]] for the next friend, and so on.

For a while, the main reason to use a Gold World Pass was to obtain an early {{Item Tooltip|Echad Ring}} for faster EXP gains. However, as of April 2026, the ring has also been added to [[Tutorial Quest]]s. Therefore, waiting to obtain a [[Gold World Pass]] is only worth it for players interested in the other items offered, such as the {{Item Tooltip|Sprout Beret}}.

=== Eligibility Requirements===
'''Note''': A new character must have a valid Content ID '''and''' <u>no</u> other characters currently listed on their account for a Gold World Pass to function.

The Gold World Pass will still work if previous characters were deleted. However, it will not work if the characters still exist on inactive Content IDs. Otherwise, an error that the [[Gold World Pass]] is invalid will occur.
* This error doesn't consume the Gold World Pass - the invitee can try again after deleting the remaining characters from their account.
* Alternatively, the Pass can be used by a different account's new character, provided they meet the Eligibility Requirements.
* The Pass is only consumed after successfully creating a character with it.

The Gold World Pass also works on [[Free Trial]] accounts.

==Purchasing A Pass==
Speak with any of the following NPCs in order to purchase a pass.
*Players will not be able to purchase a Gold World Pass on congested worlds.

==Using a Pass==
Once the inviter obtains the Gold World Pass number, they should tell the number to the invitee.

The invitee needs to go through character creation as normal. After selecting a world, there will be a prompt to enter the Gold World Pass number.

==Pass Bonuses==
Upon use of the Gold World Pass number, the new character '''and''' the inviting player need to form a party, be in the same zone, and speak to a [[World Pass Merchant]] (choosing the option "Gold World Pass benefits") to obtain various rewards. This must be repeated for each reward milestone.

The first time this occurs, the new character will receive the following:
*{{Item Tooltip|Copper Voucher|alt=Copper A.M.A.N. Voucher}} x12
*{{Item Tooltip|Echad Ring}} x1 </br> [[File:Echad Ring description.png|link=Echad Ring]]</div></div>

If both characters remain active (and paid for) for 40 Earth days, the new character will receive a {{Item Tooltip|Sprout Beret}} </br>
[[File:Sprout Beret description.png|link=Sprout Beret]]</br>
while the Gold World Pass buyer will receive a {{Item Tooltip|Guide Beret}} </br>
[[File:Guide Beret description.png|link=Guide Beret]] </br>
(if the latter is not owned already). These two berets will provide an EXP or Capacity Point boost when activated, similar to the {{Item Tooltip|Echad Ring}} or {{Item Tooltip|Trizek Ring}}.

'''Note to new players''': Simply wearing the EXP items does not activate them. You must equip them and then go into items and use them on yourself. The other benefits of the berets are always active though.

Further rewards are obtainable by both characters at 70, 100, and 365 '''Earth''' days after new character creation. Note that only days with a paid subscription count. Subscribed days don't need to be consecutive, they will still count across breaks.

The Gold World Pass buyer can receive rewards again for each person he or she invites (if applicable). These items include:
