how can we measure "yalm"?

[ScarletDawn]

A yalm is exactly two short Lalas. Just kill 2 and lay them head to toe to measure.

Edit: I guess you don't have to kill them..

Well when you need to measure out the ritual circle for the RNG gods it helps they don't move. And as someone said a Yalm is 1 pace from the Char.

Since people were a bit unsure on the last page, I'd like to confirm that XI definitely uses Yalms.

Ilm-Inch
Fulm-foot
Yalm-Yard
Malm-Mile

They appear to use the imperial system rather than metric.

It kinda does use real world measurements.

Yalm = yard
Malm = mile
Fulm = foot
Ilm = inch
Ponze = pound
Onze = ounce

What's with all the imperial measurements? :\

Also I believe in game on your map there is a grid. Each Grid is I think 50x50 yalms iirc.

It's more "exotic" I guess. The rest of the world only sees Imperial measurements in fantasy.

Not exotic to me. Canada uses imperial measurements. Of course we also use metric measurements. Many of our products list both. Just like how many of our products are in both English and French.

I wish FF14 copied one thing from SWTOR. In SWTOR if you clicked on a character or mob, over their icon it'd show how far away they were from your character.

Technically we officially use the metric system. We just informally default to Imperial when we to rough measurements since we're only a generation away from when we switched over. And in business, since our largest trading partner is still backwards like that.

Also, do we have any minimum ranges like SWTOR? Knowing how far you are tends to be more important when that is a thing.

Yeah you explained it better! Thank you.

I'm not a big fan of SWTOR but they did some things right.
