Some helpful tools when playing FFXI.

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are small javascripts stored in a bookmark. They can do all kinds of fancy stuff.

FFXI ah lookup

This bookmarklet (small javascript in a bookmark) allows you to look up an item you're viewing on either ffxi.somepage.com or ffxi.allakhazam.com on ffxi-ah. Just bookmark this link and click the bookmark while browsing an item on one of the sites. Your browser will then be directed to a search for the item on ffxiah.com.

Updated: Now also supports ffxiclopedia!
