|Intro Text= In Vana'diel, the lunar month does not align with the calendar months. A lunar phase lasts 7 [[Vana'diel Day]]s (6h 43m 12s Earth time), with the entire lunar cycle lasting 84 Vana'diel Days (3d 8h 38m 24s Earth time).

The current moon phase can be seen in the chat window by using the "Current Time" button on the menu or using the <code>/clock on</code> command.
* The <code>/clock</code> command (by itself) will toggle the UI clock on/off, as well as show the current clock and moon phase.

==Myths==
The following is ''not'' true.
* [[Treasure Hunter]] is affected.
* [[Synthesis]] is affected. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/4ulgh1/comment/d5qx1bg/ Official FFXI Developer AMA with Producer Akihiko Matsui and Director Yoji Fujito (2016)</ref>
* [[Crescent Fish]] can only be caught during a crescent moon.

==Lore==
* The moon changes color nightly as energy flows between earth and moon, changing the dominant element of the land. At least that's what one alchemist says. If you believe his story, then we are always under the influence of subtle energies--whether we know it or not. <ref>http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/guide/development/vt/extra/index.html Vana'diel Tribune Extra: December 2003</ref>
* Fenrir is associated with the moon. But Fenrir is not only the avatar of the moon, he is also the avatar of the future; in a ceremony called the Moon Reading, the Star Sibyl sees a prophecy of the future using the power of the moon.
* The Horutoto Ruins in Sarutabaruta draw on the energies of the moon which are strongest in that particular region.
* The names of Vana'diel's moon can be uncovered based on clues found during quests and missions. Like other locations on Vana'diel such as [[Davoi]], the name can vary depending on where the player is.
