Achieve the rank of First Lieutenant.

Final Fantasy XI is providing its players with even more ways to advance in the game, this time by adding a new rank for Mercenaries and by adding several new assault missions. Like the original Everquest, FFXI just keeps chugging right along.

The mercenary rank of "First Lieutenant" will be awarded to players who survive the grueling trials put forth by the hard-nosed drill sergeant, Rongelouts. Do you have what it takes, maggot?
