32	30	1. Introduction
33	31	Doman mahjong is a game for four players. The following guide covers the basic rules.
34	32	2. What is Doman Mahjong?
35	33	In Doman mahjong, players **race to complete a winning hand of 14 tiles, with points awarded for speed and difficulty of the hand**. Players begin with 13 tiles and draw a new tile each turn. They must then choose a tile to discard: either the new tile or one of the tiles in their hand. The player to the right then takes a turn, and the process is repeated until the end of the hand. The first player to complete a winning hand is awarded points. A total of eight hands are played in a full match and four in a quick match, and the player who finishes with the most points is declared the winner. Here is an example of a winning hand:
36	34	The 14 tiles form **four groups of three tiles and one pair of matching tiles**. A group of tiles is known as a “meld,” and the various types are explained in this guide. The combination of melds determines the difficulty of the hand and the points awarded when winning.
37	35	3. The Tiles
38	36	Mahjong tiles are divided into “number tiles” and “honor tiles.” ■ Number Tiles There are three suits of number tiles, each ranging from 1 to 9.
39	37	■ Honor Tiles There are two suits of honor tiles: the four wind tiles and the three dragon tiles. Unlike number tiles, they appear in no particular sequence, and therefore cannot be used to form straights. They can only form melds with identical tiles.
40	38	There are 34 varieties of tile, with four of each for a total of 136. **Players aim to form a winning hand of 14 tiles before the other players and earn as many points as possible.**
41	39	4. Forming Melds
42	40	■ Straights Number tiles may form straights such as 2, 3, 4 or 4, 5, 6, provided the tiles are all in the same suit. However, sequences such as 8, 9, 1 or 9, 1, 2 are not permitted.
43	41	■ Triplets Number tiles and honor tiles can also form matching triplets with identical tiles.
44	42	A winning hand consists of 14 tiles and requires four melds and one matching pair. ※There are special combinations that ignore this particular rule, but beginners should focus on learning the basic hands first.
45	43	5. Order of Play
46	44	Each of the four players begins with 13 tiles, and the dealer─who is chosen automatically─plays first. That player draws one new tile and chooses one tile to discard. This may either be the new tile or one from their hand. Once that player has discarded a tile, the player to the right takes a turn. This process is repeated until the end of the hand.
47	45	The hand ends when a player calls a winning hand. The hand also ends if all of the tiles are drawn with no player calling a winning hand.
48	46	At the start of a new hand, the role of dealer passes to the player on the right. In a full match, a round consists of eight hands, during which time the role of dealer passes around the board twice. The player with the highest score at the end of the round is declared the winner. In a quick match, only four hands are played.
49	47	6. Points for a Winning Hand
50	48	Each player begins the game with 25,000 points, which increase when calling a winning hand. However, points may be deducted when another player calls a winning hand. A winning hand can be formed in one of two ways:
51	49	1. Tsumo: When a tile is drawn When a winning hand is formed with a tile drawn by the player, the point value is calculated. This is divided between the other three players, who each pay an even share. If the dealer calls a winning hand, the point value is increased by 50%. If the dealer has to pay another player, they must pay double.
52	50	2. Ron: When another player discards a tile If a player discards a tile that allows another player to form a winning hand, only the player that discarded the tile must pay. When the dealer forms a winning hand in this manner, the point value is increased by 50%. However, if the dealer is the player who discarded the tile, only the standard amount is paid.
53	51	The dealer has the advantage of earning 50% more points from a winning hand. In addition, when a dealer calls the winning hand, the **role of dealer does not pass to the next player**, thus giving the dealer an opportunity to score even more points.
54	52	7. Yaku, Required for a Winning Hand
55	53	As mahjong revolves around scoring as many points as possible, it is important to know the difference between low-scoring and high-scoring hands.
56	54	The value of a hand is determined by “yaku”─specific combinations of melds. The value of each yaku is measured in “han,” with 6 han being the highest and 1 han the lowest. The harder the yaku is to form, the more han it is worth.
57	55	The han value of the hand is used to calculate the number of points awarded. Points are awarded as follows:
58	56	1 Han 1,000 Points 　2 Han 2,000 Points 　3 Han 3,900 Points 　4 Han 8,000 Points 　5 Han 8,000 Points 　6 Han 12,000 Points 　7 Han 12,000 Points 　8 Han　 16,000 Points 　9 Han　 16,000 Points 　10 Han 16,000 Points 　11 Han 24,000 Points 　12 Han 24,000 Points 　13 Han and higher 32,000 Points
59	57	In certain situations, further calculations are involved which may lead to point increases.
60	58	As yaku are used to calculate the points earned, **a winning hand must contain at least one yaku**. Although a winning hand normally requires four melds and a matching pair, this alone does not constitute a winning hand.
61	59	8. Basic Yaku
62	60	There are many types of yaku, but we recommend learning these basic yaku first:
63	61	■ Tanyao Only number tiles from 2 to 8 are used. The hand cannot contain any honor tiles or tiles numbered 1 or 9.
64	62	■ All Pon Four matching triplets and a matching double.
65	63	■ Pure Straight Contains numbers 1 to 9 of the same suit. Presented as three triplets of 1, 2, 3, then 4, 5, 6, and 7, 8, 9.
66	64	■ Mixed Triple Chi The same straight, for example, 1, 2, 3, in each suit.
67	65	■ Half Flush Number tiles from a single suit plus honor tiles.
68	66	■ Full Flush Only number tiles from one suit.
69	67	Please refer to the Lodestone for a full list of yaku and other useful information.
70	68	9. Riichi Yaku
71	69	A special condition known as “riichi” makes it easier to form a yaku.
72	70	The hand in the diagram only requires a 3 or a 6 of Dots to form a winning hand. When a player is one tile away from a winning hand, riichi may be declared.
73	71	When the hand is ready for declaring riichi, the player will have the option to do so before discarding a tile. In the case shown in the diagram, if the declaring player receives a 3 or a 6 of Dots, whether the tile is drawn by the player or discarded by another player, a winning hand can be called. After declaring riichi, that player can no longer put drawn tiles into their hand. Any tiles drawn will automatically be discarded until a tile that completes the winning hand is obtained. However, a winning hand achieved through riichi is a yaku in itself. Therefore, the player does not need to have formed any other yaku to complete a winning hand.
74	72	■ Properties of Riichi 　1. The player's hand automatically becomes a yaku, regardless of whether it contains any other yaku. 　2. The other players know that the one declaring riichi is one tile away from a winning hand. 　3. The declaring player cannot replace any of the tiles in their hand. 　4. The declaring player must pay 1,000 points─indicated with a point stick placed in the center of the table─which go to the winner of the hand.
75	73	10. Yaku Tiles
76	74	The honor tiles offer another method for forming a yaku.
77	75	A triplet of any of these three tiles forms a yaku.
78	76	The wind tiles can be used to form a yaku in a similar fashion, although certain conditions apply.
79	77	■ Round-specific Conditions A game of Doman mahjong is divided into eight hands. The first round, in which the role of dealer passes to each player once, is called “East.” A triplet of east wind tiles forms a yaku in this round. The second round, “South,” allows a yaku to be formed with a triplet of south wind tiles.
80	78	■ Seat-specific Conditions Each player is assigned a “seat wind” according to their seating position in relation to the dealer. 　Dealer = East 　Dealer's right = South 　Opposite the dealer = West 　Dealer's left = North The seat wind for each player changes counterclockwise in this order: East, South, West, North. (This layout differs from the standard compass directions.) A triplet of wind tiles with the current seat wind forms a yaku. The seat wind rotates together with the role of dealer, and players have a chance to easily form a yaku by paying attention to their seat wind marker.
81	79	11. Pon and Chi
82	80	It is difficult to form a winning hand relying solely on drawn tiles. However, tiles discarded by other players can be claimed by using “pon” and “chi.”
83	81	■ Pon If you have a pair of matching tiles, when another player discards a tile that can be used to form a triplet, you may call pon to claim the tile.
84	82	■ Chi Calling chi allows you to claim a number tile discarded by another player and complete a straight. However, it can only be called for the player whose turn comes before yours.
85	83	Although pon and chi allow you to form a winning hand more quickly, there are some drawbacks.
86	84	■ Drawback 1: Revealing Your Hand Using pon or chi to form a triplet or straight will cause it to be revealed to the other players. In addition, you can no longer use those tiles for any other melds. This can lead to missing opportunities to form better hands as a result of having those tiles locked into a triplet or straight.
87	85	■ Drawback 2: Preventing Riichi It is not possible to declare riichi after using pon or chi. Due to being unable to form a riichi yaku, you must find a way to form a different yaku. There are also certain yaku that can only be formed on the condition that you have not used pon or chi, so these will also become unavailable. In some cases, pon and chi will limit your ability to score points.
88	86	12. Dora Bonuses
89	87	In each hand, certain tiles are selected as “dora” and will grant bonus han simply for being included in a winning hand. While dora apply han bonuses, they are not in themselves yaku, so a yaku must be formed in order to take advantage of dora.
90	88	■ Dora A dora tile is randomly selected at the start of each hand and is displayed throughout.
91	89	■ Aka Dora Each suit contains four number 5 tiles. One of these four is colored red, and is known as the “aka dora.” Simply including an aka dora adds one bonus han to a winning hand. There are three aka dora in total, one for each suit.
92	90	■ Ura Dora When calling a winning hand after declaring riichi, the “ura dora” is revealed. This is only shown after the winning hand has been called and is nothing more than a surprise bonus, although it provides added incentive to try declaring riichi.
93	91	13. Kan
94	92	Since there are four of each tile, it is possible to collect all four. This is known as “kan.”
95	93	Although kan is not in itself a yaku, it awards additional bonuses when calculating the points earned by a winning hand. Kan also increases the number of dora, which may offer further advantages. Similarly to pon and chi, calling kan locks those tiles, preventing them from being replaced or used in other melds.
96	94	14. Learn by Playing
97	95	Doman mahjong is a complex game even once you have learned all of the rules. However, many of the actions normally carried out by players themselves are performed automatically, so feel free to head to the tables and try your luck without worrying about the less important details. Why not start at the novices' table? Once you have a grasp of the basics, you may wish to challenge other adventurers via the Duty Finder. For details on the more advanced rules, please refer to the guide on the Lodestone.
98	96	Playing Mahjong
99	97	NPC Matches
100	98	The Gold Saucer offers games against novice, intermediate, and advanced opponents.
101	99	It is also possible to challenge these opponents while waiting for a party in the Duty Finder. However, the game will be abandoned if the Duty Finder matches you with a party and you choose to enter the duty.
102	100	Player Matches
103	101	You may challenge other players to matches via the Gold Saucer tab in the Duty Finder. ■ Novice Mahjong (Ranked) This match type is immediately available. After registering as a solo player, you will be matched against other players. Your performance will affect your rating. 　1st: +30 points　2nd: +15 points　3rd: No change 　4th: 2nd kyu or higher, -10 points The higher your rank, the more points are lost when finishing 4th. ■ Advanced Mahjong (Ranked) Only players ranked 1st dan or higher can register. After registering as a solo player, you will be matched against other players. Ratings are affected as follows: 　1st: +60 points　2nd: +15 points　3rd: No change 　4th: -30 points The higher your rank, the more points are lost when finishing 4th. ■ Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan enabled) You must form a party of four players to begin the match. Ratings and ranks are not affected. ※**The kuitan rule allows tanyao yaku to be used after calling pon or chi.** ■ Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan disabled) You must form a party of four players to begin the match. Ratings and ranks are not affected. ※**Playing with kuitan disabled prevents tanyao yaku from being used after calling pon or chi.**
104	102	■ Rules ・Each player has a certain amount of time to take their turn. A tile will be discarded automatically if that player fails to act within the time limit. This time limit does not apply to four-player mahjong (kuitan enabled/disabled). ・A time limit applies to the period between hands. In addition, if a single hand lasts more than 80 minutes, the following hand will be the last one played. Once that hand ends, the game ends, final placements are decided, and the results are recorded. ・Each game has a time limit of 120 minutes, after which the game will end automatically. Results will not be recorded.
105	103	■ Chat ・During a four-player mahjong game, you may chat to the other players. ・Chat can be toggled on and off using the button in the lower right of the screen. Turning chat off will prevent you from sending and receiving messages. On-screen icons indicate whether the other players are participating in the chat.
106	104	■ Rating and Rank ・Matches played in “Novice Mahjong (Ranked)” and “Advanced Mahjong (Ranked)” will affect your rating and rank. ・Your rating starts at 1,500, and will increase or decrease according to your finishing position in each match. ・Although you cannot be demoted while in the lower ranks, progressing to the higher ranks puts you at risk of demotion should you perform poorly. ・Ratings and ranks are calculated only according to the rating of your opponents and your finishing position in the game. (The number of points with which you end a game is not taken into consideration.) ・Your mahjong rating and rank can be viewed in the Gold Saucer menu, under Mahjong. **※Rating and rank data is saved locally. If you log in using another platform, your rating and rank will not be displayed.
107	105	■ Abandoning a Match ・If players log out during a mahjong match, tiles will be discarded automatically when their turn comes around. When players log back in, they will regain control from the next turn onwards. ・If players abandon a match, it will continue without them and their tiles will be discarded automatically. They will also incur the standard penalties for abandoning a duty and will be unable to register for another mahjong match until the previous match ends. ・If players do not enter any commands for a certain amount of time, they will be automatically removed from the match.
108	106	Navigating the Screen
109	107	Understanding the UI
110	108	1. Shows the 13 tiles in your hand. When you draw a tile, it is shown as the 14th tile, to the right of your hand. When your turn comes, select a tile to discard it.
111	109	2. When you are in a position to call riichi, tsumo, ron, pon, chi, or kan, a prompt will appear. In the case of pon, chi, and kan, this prompt can be hidden. To hide these prompts, set Display Calls to Off. However, this option defaults to On at the start of a new hand. If you turn on “Auto-declare winning hand,” you will automatically declare a winning hand as soon as tsumo or ron become available. This option defaults to Off at the start of a new hand.
112	110	3. The star icon indicates which player is the dealer. It is also displayed in the center of the table. The compass direction shown below each player's name is their current seat wind. Players can form a yaku by collecting three wind tiles that match their seat wind. The role of dealer rotates counterclockwise, from east, to south, to west, to north.
113	111	4. A game of Doman mahjong is played over eight hands. The first four are the “East” round and the last four are the “South” round. Collecting three wind tiles that match the current round forms a yaku.
114	112	5. These sticks indicate any points carried over in the event of a draw. If a player declares riichi, the 1,000 points they pay are also shown here. When a player wins a hand, these points are added to their score. A stick with several black dots is worth 100 points and a stick with a single red dot is worth 1,000 points. Every time a hand is replayed, a special bonus known as “honba” increases by one, also indicated here. When a player produces a winning hand, they will receive an additional 300 points for each honba.
115	113	6. Indicates the dora for the current hand. If a player includes a tile identical to the dora in a winning hand, they will receive bonus han, which increases points earned.
116	114	7. Buttons for toggling the various settings. For more information, see Support Features in the Playing Mahjong section.
117	115	Support Features
118	116	■ Dangerous Tile Marker When discarding a tile, there is always a risk that an opponent may claim that tile to strengthen their position or even win the hand. These markers indicate which tiles carry a high risk of being claimed by an opponent. Remember, even the tiles without markers are not entirely without risk, but enabling this feature may help you to avoid defeat.
119	117	The most dangerous tiles will have this kind of marker.
120	118	You should also be wary of tiles with these markers.
121	119	■ Hints Enable this feature for recommendations on which tiles to discard, whether to call pon or chi, and so on. While following this advice will not always lead to victory, you may find it useful.

123	121	Rival Wings
124	122	Overview
125	123	Rival Wings is a large-scale PvP battle involving up to 48 combatants. Participants are divided into two teams, the Falcons and the Ravens. Each team may pilot powerful machina as they attempt to destroy the opponent's core, which is defended by mammets.
126	124	**■Basic Rules■** A Rival Wings team consists of 6 light parties, for a total of 24 participants. A match lasts for 15 minutes. **■Retaliation■** Incapacitated players will be returned to their landing point, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat after a short delay. Furthermore, players will be invulnerable so long as they remain at their landing point. This effect will persist for a brief period after returning to the battlefield. **■Mounts■** Players are free to use mounts during Rival Wings campaigns. However, players taking damage while mounted will be afflicted with the Limp status effect. **■Return■** Using Return will teleport players back to their landing point. Moreover, this action has no recast time during Rival Wings campaigns. Please note, however, casting will be interrupted by attacks. **■KDA■** Each time a player incapacitates an enemy player, they are awarded a knockout (K). When a player is incapacitated, they are classed as “down” (D). If a player deals damage to an enemy that is then incapacitated by a teammate, they are awarded an assist (A). The final K, D, and A for each player is displayed on the results screen at the end of the battle. **■Rewards■** When a match has ended, players will receive PvP EXP, PvE EXP, Wolf Marks, and Allagan tomestones. By continually winning Rival Wings matches, players will receive achievements that reward special mounts and gear. **■Damage Modifiers■** Damage dealt and damage taken in Rival Wings campaigns are adjusted based on your current job. For specific adjustment values, please visit the Rival Wings Play Guide on the Lodestone.
127	125	Cores and Towers
128	126	The first team to destroy the core located on the opponent's base will be declared the winner. In the event neither team destroys a core, the team that deals the most damage to the opponent's core wins. If both teams have dealt the same amount of damage to each other's cores, the number of remaining towers─which protect the core─determines victory. Should the number of remaining towers be the same for both teams, the amount of damage dealt to the towers determines the winners.
129	127	**■Cores■** Each team has a core located at its base, and the chief objective is to destroy the enemy's core. The core is protected by a magitek field emanating from two towers, so before you can strike at the core, you must first destroy at least one of the towers.
130	128	**■Towers■** Each team has two towers that serve to protect their core. Each tower is also enveloped in a defensive field that mitigates damage taken by team members and restores their HP, which players can take advantage of as protection when hard-pressed by the opposing team. If you succeed in destroying the enemy team's towers, the magitek field around the enemy team's base will dissipate, and your team will earn Soaring stacks.
131	129	**■Magitek Fields■** Each team has two towers which project a magitek field to guard the core. While both towers are present, the core cannot be damaged, and the field deals severe damage over time to any enemies that enter. If one of the towers is destroyed, the defensive effect of the magitek field is weakened, allowing damage to be dealt to the core. In addition, the magitek field will no longer deal damage to enemies. When both towers are destroyed, the magitek field disappears and the core will receive full damage from enemy attacks.
132	130	Machina
133	131	Players can deploy three types of powerful machina in battle.
134	132	**■Cruise Chaser■** A next-generation machina ideal for combat against enemy players and machina. While it possesses a high degree of mobility, it lacks in durability.
135	133	**■Oppressor■** A hulking machina engineered for siege warfare, it excels at wreaking havoc upon structures. However, it is slow and poorly suited to combating enemy players and machina.
136	134	**■Brute Justice■** Boasting unrivaled power, Brute Justice dominates opposing players and machina on the battlefield, while also laying waste to structures with its lethal armaments. Although it can easily turn the tide of battle, there are strict conditions governing its deployment.
137	135	**■Machina Restrictions■** Only one machina may be operated per party at any given time, regardless of type. In the case of the Oppressor, however, the limit is two per team. Two Brute Justices can be deployed by each team per match, one becoming available for each tower you lose. **■Riding Machina■** When deploying a machina, its HP will be displayed in place of the player. Its HP cannot be restored by curative actions of teammates, nor will it restore automatically when out of combat. Machina actions will expend EP, a resource that can only be restored by using the Ceruleum Refill action. Be advised that use of this action will deplete your party's ceruleum stores. **■Ceruleum■** Ceruleum is required to operate machina. A maximum of 100 units of ceruleum can be stored by each party. You can build up your ceruleum stores by collecting tanks in the field, controlling the power generator, or defeating enemy team members and mammets. As ceruleum is a party resource, it is recommended that you confer with your comrades prior to activating a machina.
138	136	**■Hangar Terminals■** Once your team has sufficient ceruleum, you can choose a machina to deploy at the hangar terminal, located near the starting area. You may also view information relating to the various types of machina.
139	137	Mammets
140	138	Mammets are clockwork soldiers programmed to seek out and destroy towers and cores. They emerge from their own core at regular intervals before striking out on a set route, and will remain in battle for a set duration. Upon detecting an enemy mammet, they will engage and attack until either side is destroyed. Mammets that arrive at an enemy tower or core will perform a powerful self-sacrificing attack. That is the extent of their programming; mammets will not harm adventurers.
141	139	**■Wind-up Viking■** These mammets specialize in fighting at close quarters.
142	140	**■Wind-up Magus■** These mammets specialize in magic-based attacks.
143	141	■Fighting Alongside Mammets Mammets are governed by the Clockwork status which counts down to zero, after which they are removed from battle. Although it is possible to use healing actions on mammets, the amount of HP restored is reduced. ■Gaining Ceruleum from Mammets Parties gain units of ceruleum upon defeating an enemy mammet. These units will be distributed to all parties that engage with the mammet based on the amount of damage inflicted. Ceruleum cannot be gained from damage inflicted by other mammets.
144	142	Steam Cannons
145	143	Two steam cannons have been erected near each team's core. While they cannot be moved, they are powerful weapons which may prove useful in deterring enemy forces.
146	144	Soaring
147	145	When you defeat an enemy team member, your party receives the Soaring enhancing effect. This effect can stack up to twenty times, increasing all party members' damage dealt and HP restored via healing actions, while also reducing damage taken. At twenty stacks, Soaring will be replaced with the Flying High effect, which confers even greater benefits.
148	146	■Soaring Stacks The number of Soaring stacks an enemy has when defeated affects how many stacks your party gains. Defeat an enemy with 0 to 9 stacks: gain 1 stack Defeat an enemy with 10 to 19 stacks: gain 2 stacks Defeat an enemy with 20 stacks (Flying High): gain 3 stacks

154	152	Hidden Gorge
155	153	Map Overview
156	154	Developed by Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern at great cost, the mine at Hidden Gorge proved to be a flash in the pan, its veins running dry within a matter of years. For a time afterwards, the site in Thanalan lay abandoned, but now it has been revived as a training ground for adventurers. On tracks of steel the goblin-made ceruleum engines arrive, laden with supplies that combatants should seize if they hope to claim victory.
157	155	Ceruleum Engines
158	156	Ceruleum engines move across the map on rails at high speed, stopping at the loading stations in the center of the map. By taking control of the loading stations, teams can claim the supplies delivered by the ceruleum engines. ■Ceruleum Engines in Motion If you come into contact with a ceruleum engine while it is moving, you will incur potentially lethal damage. A warning will sound to indicate the approach of a ceruleum engine.
159	157	**■Loading Stations■** Ceruleum engines deliver supplies to loading stations. Players cannot enter a loading station while riding machina. Each team may occupy or control a loading station. **■Occupying a Loading Station■** When a ceruleum engine arrives at a station, standing in the area next to the engine will cause a gauge to fill. Once it is full, your team will occupy that station. The gauge fills more quickly when you have a higher number of team members near the engine than the opponent. The greater the difference in players, the quicker the gauge fills. However, only the first four players from each team are counted. Those standing near the engine will also gain the Sheer Will status, which greatly increases damage dealt. Making use of this status will help to reduce the number of enemies and occupy the station more quickly. **■Controlling a Loading Station■** Once a loading station has been occupied, a new gauge will appear indicating your control over the station. When filled, the station will be under your team's control, allowing you to claim its supplies. This gauge will only fill when your team has a number of members equal to or higher than the opponent in that area. When the supplies have been claimed, the ceruleum engine will leave the station and the gauges will be reset.
160	158	**■Supplies■** There are four types of supplies. For the first half of the match, the ceruleum engine will deliver main ceruleum tanks, gobbiejuice, and gobtank keys at random. In the second half of the match, they will only deliver gobcrates. Each type grants its own benefits and increases the Soaring stacks of the whole team. Main Ceruleum Tanks Each party on the team gains 50 ceruleum. Gobbiejuice Fills the limit gauge of every team member. Gobtanks Two gobtanks will appear at the core and will travel down the north and south routes to the enemy base. They are considerably more powerful than regular mammets and can deal severe damage to towers and the core. Gobcrates Grant all of the effects of main ceruleum tanks, gobbiejuice, and gobtanks.

162	160	After a certain amount of time has passed, goblin mercenaries will randomly appear from the north and south mercenary bases. Initially, they will not side with either team, and will attack any player that approaches. However, it is possible to have them ally with your team.
163	161	■Allied Mercenaries If the damage your team deals to a goblin mercenary surpasses that of the opposing team by a certain amount, it will join your side. If the mercenary's HP reaches zero before this condition has been fulfilled, it will form an alliance with whichever team dealt the most damage to it. ■Mercenary Deployment Once you have formed an alliance with a mercenary, it will appear at your team's core and will attempt to destroy the enemy's towers and core, much like a mammet would. Forming an alliance with a mercenary that appeared from the north mercenary base will cause it to travel along the northern route, with the same being true of the south mercenary base and southern route. Mercenaries are also governed by the Contractual Obligation status, and they will leave the field of battle once the status counts down to zero. After a certain amount of time passes, they will reappear from their respective base and will no longer be allied with either team.
164	162	Housing
165	163	1. Residential Districts
166	164	In residential districts, adventurers may purchase plots of land, estates, and apartments. The properties available to you are not affected by your choice of Grand Company. ■Residential Districts by City-state 　・Limsa Lominsa: Mist 　・Gridania: The Lavender Beds 　・Ul'dah: The Goblet 　・Ishgard: Empyreum 　・Kugane: Shirogane
167	165	2. Plots of Land
168	166	A plot of land is required to build an estate. In addition, the size of the estate must match the size of the plot on which it is built. ■Estate Size and Maximum Number of Furnishings 　・Small: 300 indoor, 40 outdoor 　・Medium: 450 indoor, 60 outdoor 　・Large: 600 indoor, 80 outdoor
169	167	3. Purchasing and Relinquishing Land
170	168	■Purchasing Land Depending on the housing area, land may be purchased on a first-come-first-served basis, or by lottery. You can confirm which purchase system is available for a given plot by accessing the placard located at its entrance. ■Unavailable Land Land that no longer has an owner will be marked “Currently unavailable for purchase.” Unavailable plots under the lottery system will become available for purchase again at the beginning of the next entry period, while first-come-first-served plots will become available after a certain amount of time has passed. ■Relinquishing Land If you no longer wish to own a particular plot of land, select “Relinquish Land” from the Housing menu. Please note that the purchasing price will not be refunded. Before land can be relinquished, the following conditions must be fulfilled: 　1. All furnishings must be removed from the property. 　2. All furnishings must be removed from storage. 　3. The estate must be removed from the plot of land.
171	169	4. Auto-demolition
172	170	Plots of land which have been left abandoned for an extended period of time will be cleared to make way for new owners. ■The Auto-demolition Process 　1. Estate halls which have not been entered by their owner for thirty days (Earth time) will be designated abandoned and scheduled for auto-demolition. 　2. Once the estate hall has not been entered for a total of forty-five days (Earth time), it will be demolished, and the plot will be put up for sale. While any member of a free company may enter a company estate hall to prevent auto-demolition, only the owner can prevent the auto-demolition of a private estate. ■Reclaiming Funds and Furnishings Following Auto-demolition In the event your estate is demolished and your plot is sold, you will be able to claim indemnification for 80% of the plot's value. Furthermore, furnishings which can be safely removed will be stored for safekeeping by the resident caretaker. However, you must speak with the resident caretaker within thirty-five days (Earth time) of auto-demolition to reclaim funds and furnishings. In the case of free company estates, this can only be performed by members with authority to purchase and relinquish land.
173	171	5. Building an Estate Hall
174	172	A construction permit is required to build an estate hall. While there are several types of construction permit available, the estate size must match the size of the plot on which it will be built. From the Social menu, select “Housing,” then “Estate Hall,” followed by “Build Estate Hall” to use the construction permit.
175	173	6. Furnishings
176	174	Furnishings come in two varieties: indoor and outdoor. To place indoor furnishings, open the Housing menu while inside your estate hall, and select “Indoor Furnishings.” Similarly, to place outdoor furnishings, open the Housing menu while on your property but outside your estate hall, and select “Outdoor Furnishings.” Placing a furnishing will bind it to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players. Moreover, certain furnishings cannot be retrieved once placed, and will be permanently discarded upon removal.
177	175	7. Fixtures
178	176	You can change various elements of your estate, by opening the Housing menu while inside your estate hall, and selecting “Remodel Interior” or “Remodel Exterior.” The following fixtures can be customized: ■Interior Fixtures 　・Interior walls 　・Flooring 　・Ceiling lights ■Exterior Fixtures 　・Rooves 　・Exterior walls 　・Windows 　・Doors 　・Placards 　・Fences 　・Roof decorations 　・Exterior wall decorations Placed fixtures will be returned to your inventory when they are replaced by another fixture. Placing a fixture will bind it to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players.
179	177	8. Company Workshops
180	178	Owners of a free company estate can purchase a company workshop.
181	179	In a company workshop, you may craft company projects and build airships and submersibles to embark on exploratory voyages. Once gil has been paid for the construction of the company workshop, it can be accessed via the door inside the estate hall. ■Demolishing a Company Workshop If a company workshop is no longer needed, it can be demolished. Please note that doing so will delete all records of the activities performed there, including progress made on exploratory voyages. In addition, the gil spent on purchasing the facility will not be refunded. Before a company workshop can be demolished, any airships and submersibles currently in service must be dismantled.
182	180	9. Private Chambers
183	181	Private chambers may be added to free company estates, and can be accessed from inside the property. To add a private chamber, you must fulfill the following conditions 　1. You must have at least one class at level 50. 　2. You must hold a rank of second lieutenant or above in one of the Grand Companies. ■Demolishing Private Chambers If you no longer require a private chamber, it can be demolished, providing that all furnishings have been removed from the chamber and its storage. ■Auto-demolition of Private Chambers If you are dismissed from your free company, your private chambers will be demolished, and furnishings placed in your private chambers will be given into the care of the resident caretaker. Furnishings will be held by the resident caretaker for 35 days (Earth time), after which they will be permanently discarded. Only the former owner of the private chamber can claim these furnishings, not other members of the free company to whom the estate belongs.
184	182	10. Apartments
185	183	Apartments are available for purchase in each of the residential districts. The buildings are named as follows: 　・Mist: The Topmast 　・The Lavender Beds: Lily Hills 　・The Goblet: The Sultana's Breath 　・Empyreum: Ingleside 　・Shirogane: Kobai Goten ■Purchasing an Apartment You must fulfill the following conditions to purchase an apartment: 　1.

186	184	11. Estate Sharing
187	185	If you are the owner of a private estate, you may choose to share it with up to three friends, regardless of plot size. You may then grant these friends─or tenants─access to certain estate features, such as gardening, stable tending, and estate customization. To welcome friends as tenants, open the Housing menu, select “Private Estate,” then select “Shared Estate Settings,” followed by “New Tenant.” Furthermore, you may evict tenants at any time by selecting their name, followed by “Evict.”
188	186	12. Relocation
189	187	It is possible to relocate your estate hall to a new plot. Private estates may be relocated by their owners at will, while free company estates require those with authority to purchase and relinquish land. When making the purchase, approximately 15% of the value of the old plot will be applied towards the price of the new. Upon relocation, placed furnishings will be put in the storeroom at the destination plot, save for the chocobo stables and the miniature aetheryte, which will be placed in the garden. In the event that there are too many furnishings to fit in the storeroom, the estate cannot be relocated until they have been removed. Private chambers and company workshops will be moved in their entirety and retain their state. Interior fixtures, meanwhile, will remain intact, unless the relocation results in an estate hall with fewer floors. In this case, the fixtures will be lost alongside the floor. Estate halls which have not been entered by their owner for thirty days (Earth time) cannot be relocated. Furthermore, initiating a relocation has the same effect as the owner entering his or her estate hall, and resets the period until auto-demolition.
190	188	13. Storerooms
191	189	All types of housing come with a storeroom for keeping one's furnishings. The larger the residence, the bigger the storeroom. The maximum number of furnishings that can be stored is as follows: 　・Private chamber: 150 indoor 　・Apartment: 150 indoor 　・Small: 300 indoor, 40 outdoor 　・Medium: 450 indoor, 60 outdoor 　・Large: 600 indoor, 80 outdoor Chocobo stables and miniature aetherytes cannot be placed in the storeroom. Certain items, meanwhile, are stored in stasis. For instance, plants will cease to grow and wheel stands will cease to charge. An estate hall cannot be removed while items are in storage. In the event that your estate hall is demolished, you may reclaim stored items by speaking with the resident caretaker within 35 days of repossession.
192	190	14. Navigating Residential Districts

If this occurs, or if you no longer need a certain crop, you have the option to remove it. ■Harvesting Crops Once crops are fully grown, you can harvest them. ■Intercrossing When different crops are grown in adjacent ridges, you may occasionally receive new types of seeds when harvesting.
208	206	Flowerpots
209	207	Flowerpots are indoor furnishings that allow you to grow crops in a similar fashion to gardens.

Growing Flowers The use of **pomace** when tending to potted plants can affect their color when they bloom. Fully grown plants can then be plucked and placed in a flower vase to decorate your estate, or used as materials when crafting items. 　・Red pomace: Red blooms 　・Blue pomace: Blue blooms 　・Mountain pomace: Yellow blooms
210	208	Orchestrions
211	209	Orchestrions can be used to change the music in your estate or inn room, but only if you have first obtained song rolls. Free company estates, private estates, private chambers, and apartments may only have one orchestrion. ■The Orchestrion List After obtaining a roll, use it to add the track to your orchestrion list. ■Playlist Up to eight songs can be registered to a playlist.

To charge an aetherial wheel, simply place it in a stand, and it will gradually accumulate aether over a period of time. Once primed, you may remove the aetherial wheel and use the stand to convert it into a company action, or you may choose to store it until a later date.
215	213	Aquariums
216	214	Aquariums are indoor furnishings that are used to display fish. They must be filled with either freshwater or saltwater and only fish suited to the chosen water type can be placed inside.

217	215	■Fish Sizes Fish have been categorized into four sizes─small (one unit), medium (two units), large (four units), and extra large (seven units). It is worth noting that larger fish will occupy more space in an aquarium, leaving less room for other fish. ■Number of Fish per Aquarium Aquariums are available in four sizes, the smallest holding only a single small fish, and the largest holding up to four. Because larger fish take up more room in the aquarium, one must choose carefully which fish they will put on display. 　・Tier 1: One unit, maximum of one fish 　・Tier 2: Two units, maximum of two fish 　・Tier 3: Four units, maximum of three fish 　・Tier 4: Seven units, maximum of four fish
218	216	Chocobo Stables

220	218	■Chocobo Level Cap For chocobos that have already attained the maximum rank, rewarding them with a Thavnairian onion following training will increase this upper limit by one. ※Chocobo companions cannot exceed rank 20. ■Stable Cleanliness As you and your free company members continue to use the chocobo stable, it will begin to accumulate dirt and grime. Stable cleanliness is reflected by one of three conditions─good, fair, or poor─which can be confirmed by accessing the stable. Keep your stable clean to ensure that chocobo training is effective, yielding the most experience.
221	219	Message Books
222	220	A message book can be placed in a free company estate, private estate, or an apartment. In the case of estates, there are two versions of the message book─one for indoor and one for outdoor use. Please note you may only set one of each at any given time.
223	221	While the message book is primarily for visitors to leave messages, the estate owner can also set a greeting message for visitors. ■Message Privacy Settings Entries left in the message book are set to public by default, allowing anyone to view them. However, they can be set to private at the owner's discretion. ■Writing in the Message Book Players may leave one message in an estate's book per day per character. ※Permission to leave messages will reset every day at 12 a.m. (Earth time). ■Deleting a Message Messages can also be deleted by the player who penned them, as well as by the estate owner and those with authorization. ■Liking a Message Book Before leaving an estate, visitors can show their love of the house and its décor by leaving a “like” in the message book. Characters are granted ten likes to distribute upon first viewing a message book, and accumulate an additional five likes per day at 12 a.m. (Earth time) up to a maximum of fifty. ※You cannot “like” your own estate.
224	222	Mannequins
225	223	Mannequins are interior furnishings that you can equip with clothing items. You may select their class or job, as well as gender. Various poses are also available. The mannequin can be used either to display an outfit for sale, or simply as decoration.

Only sellable items in your inventory, Armoury Chest, or retainer inventory may be selected. Any items equipped on a mannequin that are listed for sale still occupy slots in the retainer's list. For that reason, a mannequin cannot be equipped with items that would cause the retainer to exceed the 20 item limit. ■Selling as a Set By checking “Sell Only as Set,” you can sell all items equipped to the mannequin together. While the items may be viewed on the market board, a player must access the mannequin directly if they wish to purchase the set. When viewing items listed on the market board as part of a set, it is possible to send a tell to the seller to ascertain the location of their estate. ※Please be aware that it is possible to view the name of a character selling a set through the market board. ■Displaying Gear You may also display items on a mannequin without listing the gear for sale. It is also possible to select unsellable items for display. ※The mannequin cannot be used to display glamoured items. However, gear that is displayed also occupies slots in the retainer's list of items for sale on the market, despite not being available for purchase.
227	225	The Copied Factory
228	226	Unidentified Expedition Log 1
229	227	Survey of local terrain continues. Ecosystem in this area appears to have adapted to extended drought─dry climate conditions must have been present for some time. Investigation of a murky spring did reveal aquatic life, though of an unusual sort.
230	228	Unidentified Expedition Log 2
231	229	Survey of local terrain continues. Current location is particularly verdant, likely owing to the plethora of freshwater springs. Peculiar that two so markedly distinct biomes should exist in such proximity.
232	230	Unidentified Expedition Log 3
233	231	Survey of local terrain still continues, though with no discoveries of particular note. Or perhaps I've grown tired of searching. Still, it's better to be stuck in the middle of nowhere than on the front lines.

237	235	The machines' primary objective seems to be nothing more than “kill enemy.” What's troubling, though, is that their auto-evolution systems have begun to build a private network.
238	236	Machine Research Report 2
239	237	The machines' network has evolved to the point where paradoxes no longer present an obstacle, allowing for diversity among individuals. They may continue to incorporate whatever data is within reach─someday, the world in its entirety.

271	269	Frontline
272	270	Overview
273	271	In Frontline battles, the Maelstrom, the Twin Adders, and the Immortal Flames face each other in training exercises devised to test the participants' strategic planning and combat prowess.
274	272	The Basics
275	273	Frontline is a PvP challenge which engages three teams of adventurers, each team representing one of the three Grand Companies. Players will be randomly assigned to one of these three teams, regardless of their Grand Company allegiance. Each team consists of up to 24 players in an alliance, allowing for a grand total of 72 players in a single battle. Success on the front line will depend heavily not only on individual skill, but on your ability to work as a team.
276	274	**■Rules■** A Frontline alliance consists of 24 members, divided into 3 full parties. There are 3 alliances, which combine for a total of 72 participants. A match lasts for 20 minutes. **■Retaliation■** Incapacitated players will be returned to their Grand Company's landing, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat. This will not incur a weakness penalty. Players will be granted invulnerability within their Grand Company's landing and for a short while after leaving. When infiltrating another team's Grand Company landing, players will be afflicted with the Outsider status effect which inflicts damage over time. **■Mounts■** Players are free to use mounts during Frontline campaigns. However, players taking damage while mounted will be forced off and afflicted with the Hoofing It status effect for five seconds. **■Return■** Using Return will teleport players back to their landing point. Moreover, this action has no recast time during Frontline campaigns. Please note, however, casting will be interrupted by attacks. **■KDA■** Each time a player incapacitates an enemy player, they are awarded a knockout (K). When a player is incapacitated, they are classed as “down” (D). If a player deals damage to an enemy that is then incapacitated by a teammate, they are awarded an assist (A). The final K, D, and A for each player is displayed on the results screen at the end of the battle. **■Rewards■** When a match has ended, players will receive PvP EXP, PvE EXP, Wolf Marks, and Allagan tomestones. By continually winning Frontline matches, players will receive achievements that reward special mounts and gear. **■Damage Modifiers■** Damage dealt and damage taken in Frontline campaigns are adjusted based on your current job. For specific adjustment values, please visit the Frontline Play Guide on the Lodestone.
277	275	Battle High
278	276	Battle High is a status that increases damage dealt and HP restored by healing actions according to a player's knockouts and assists. The maximum Battle High value is 100, and for every increment of 20, the status increases in strength. The amount the value increases is determined by the Battle High level of the incapacitated player.
279	277	The Borderland Ruins (Secure)
280	278	Map Overview
281	279	While many will remember the Calamity for the destruction it wrought upon the realm of Eorzea, that destruction was not without its blessings─one of those being the uncovering of ancient Allagan ruins hidden underneath the war-scarred Carteneau Flats and heretofore unseen for several Astral Eras. When an attempt by the Grand Companies of Eorzea to determine the control of these ruins, and more importantly the secrets they contain, through peaceful negotiations ended in failure, the city–states instead elected to solve the issue of dominion using a form of civilized warfare dubbed Frontline.
282	280	Victory Conditions
283	281	In the Borderland Ruins (Secure), victory goes to the first alliance to reach the specified tactical rating, which is accumulated by: 　1. Defeating enemy players 　2. Occupying key locations 　3. Slaying monsters In the event that none of the three alliances reaches the specified tactical rating within the time limit, victory will be awarded to the alliance with the highest tactical rating.
284	282	Key Locations
285	283	Key locations such as outposts and Allagan ruins can be identified by flags, indicating the Grand Company that currently controls them. At the start of each match, all locations will be unoccupied. By remaining in close proximity to the flags at these locations, players can occupy them to improve their team's tactical rating. Every three seconds, tactical points will be accrued as follows: 　・When occupying one key location, an increase of 2 　・When occupying two key locations, an increase of 4 　・When occupying three key locations, an increase of 6 　・When occupying four key locations, an increase of 10 　・When occupying five key locations, an increase of 12 　・When occupying six key locations, an increase of 14 　・When occupying seven key locations, an increase of 18 　・When occupying eight key locations, an increase of 20 　・When occupying nine key locations, an increase of 22 While standing in key locations, players will be buffed with the status Sheer Will, greatly increasing damage dealt. The location will become occupied more quickly when you have a higher number of team members near the flag than the opposing alliances. The greater the difference in players, the quicker it will be occupied. However, these areas may turn neutral should enemies come within proximity of a flag controlled by your team, or vice versa.
286	284	Defeating Drones
287	285	During the match, drones will appear from the Heliodrome. They are not allied with any of the three teams, and defeating them will increase the tactical rating. Dealing damage to them will also increase the tactical rating, with the amount awarded to each alliance according to the proportion of damage dealt.
288	286	The small interceptor drones will reappear a certain amount of time after they are defeated. The larger interceptor nodes will only appear once during the match, but will give greater increases in tactical rating when defeated.
289	287	Seal Rock (Seize)
290	288	Map Overview
291	289	Legend has it that Llymlaen sealed a giant serpent She Herself created within Swallowtail Roam, an island said to drift about the sea so that those with evil intentions might never find it. When Seal Rock was first discovered, many believed it to be the selfsame island─but its true nature remained unknown until the Calamity laid her secrets bare. Upon their return to the island following the fall of Dalamud, Allied forces discovered Allagan tomeliths containing a wealth of knowledge. They concluded that the entire island was in fact an Allagan construct─a proving ground for Omega and other technology they developed to combat the primal threat. As was the case in Carteneau, control of the island and its resources remain disputed, and peaceful negotiations have failed to achieve a resolution. And so, once more, they would settle the matter on the battlefield.
292	290	Victory Conditions
293	291	The first alliance to accumulate the required amount of data will be declared the winner, and the remaining alliances will be ranked according to their respective ratings. Data is accumulated by: 　1. Defeating enemy players 　2. Occupying Allagan tomeliths In the event that none of the three alliances accumulates the required amount of data within the time limit, victory will be awarded to the alliance with the most data.
294	292	Occupying Allagan Tomeliths
295	293	Seal Rock island is home to ancient relics known as Allagan tomeliths, structures containing data coveted by the three Grand Companies. Players must locate and occupy tomeliths to activate them and extract their data.
296	294	**■Active and Inactive Allagan Tomeliths■** All Allagan tomeliths are inactive at the start of the campaign, and will activate randomly at set intervals. Each tomelith has a limited quantity of data that can be retrieved, and will become inactive once that limit is reached. As the campaign progresses, the maximum number of simultaneously active Allagan tomeliths will change. **■Occupying Allagan Tomeliths■** Active Allagan tomeliths will be either “Unoccupied” or “Occupied” depending on whether or not a Grand Company has occupied them. If a player occupies an unoccupied tomelith, its status will change from Unoccupied to Occupied. If the tomelith is already occupied by an opposing faction, accessing the tomelith will change its status to Unoccupied. Tomeliths are Unoccupied when they change from inactive to active. Attempts to occupy a tomelith will be interrupted if the player is attacked. **■Allagan Tomelith Ranks■** Allagan tomeliths will activate at one of three ranks: B, A, or S. Although tomeliths have a lower chance to activate at higher ranks, they hold a larger quantity of data that can be retrieved while they are occupied. As the match progresses, tomeliths will have an increased chance to activate at higher ranks. **■Changes According to Time Remaining■** As time passes, the maximum number of tomeliths that can be active simultaneously decreases. However, it becomes easier to activate higher-ranked tomeliths.
297	295	The Fields of Glory (Shatter)
298	296	Map Overview
299	297	Under the influence of the lesser moon Dalamud, Nael van Darnus, legatus of the VIIth Legion, sought out and unearthed Allagan ruins in the eastern lowlands of Coerthas. Aided by the knowledge contained therein, he raised the very earth unto the heavens, and from this lofty perch did the White Raven nearly orchestrate the destruction of Eorzea. The remnants of that mad plan still litter the frozen lowlands, as well as other ancient artifacts now laid bare. Though the powers that be are in agreement that Nael's data must be secured, they remain divided on the subject of how best to administer the region, which has prompted them to invoke the same laws which transformed Carteneau and Seal Rock into a battlefield. Where words fail, weapons speak.
300	298	Victory Conditions
301	299	Similarly to Seal Rock (Seize), the first alliance to accumulate the required amount of data will be declared the winner, and the remaining alliances will be ranked according to their respective ratings. Data is accumulated by: 　1. Defeating enemy players 　2. Destroying icebound tomeliths In the event that none of the three alliances accumulates the required amount of data within the time limit, victory will be awarded to the alliance with the most data.
302	300	Occupying Allagan Tomeliths
303	301	Allagan tomeliths will be either “Unoccupied” or “Occupied” depending on whether or not a Grand Company has occupied them. If a player occupies an unoccupied tomelith, its status will change from Unoccupied to Occupied. If the tomelith is already occupied by an opposing faction, accessing the tomelith will change its status to Unoccupied. Tomeliths are Unoccupied when they change from inactive to active.
304	302	Destroying Icebound Tomeliths
305	303	The data from icebound tomeliths can be collected by attacking them, and once they are destroyed, data will be rewarded to each Grand Company based on the amount of damage inflicted. **■Activating Icebound Tomeliths■** Icebound tomeliths can only be destroyed once they have become active. They will be inactive at the start of the campaign, and will activate at random after a short period of time. Any icebound tomeliths destroyed during the course of the campaign will regenerate in an inactive state after a fixed amount of time. **■Icebound Tomelith■** Active icebound tomeliths will be either large or small, with large tomeliths containing more data.
306	304	Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam)
307	305	Map Overview
308	306	The Xaela of the Azim Steppe are renowned for their ferocity in battle, a traditional preoccupation that culminates once each Tsagaan Sar as they clash to earn the right to rule in the Naadam. Such infrequent conflict is insufficient to sate the Steppe's most zealous warriors, however, thus the Danshig Naadam─smaller contests to which the Grand Companies of Eorzea have now been welcomed. Join forces with the Maelstrom and the Orben people, the Adders and the Ejinn, or the Flames and the Horo in this grand demonstration of martial prowess, and may the mightiest prevail!
309	307	Victory Conditions
310	308	In Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam), victory goes to the first alliance to reach the specified tactical rating, which is accumulated by: 　1. Defeating enemy players 　2. Claiming ovoos In the event that none of the three alliances reaches the specified tactical rating within the time limit, victory will be awarded to the alliance with the highest tactical rating.
311	309	Ovoos
312	310	Across the field of battle, there are sacred sites known as ovoos. By laying claim to these locations, players can increase their team's tactical rating over time. **■Ovoo States■** In the course of battle, an ovoo will assume one of four states, in the following order: 1. Inactive While inactive, an ovoo cannot be claimed. All ovoos are inactive at the onset of battle, but as time passes, they will randomly begin activating.
313	311	2. Activating When an ovoo begins activating, a symbol will appear above it indicating the time remaining before it becomes active. The symbol will gradually take shape until it becomes complete, rendering the ovoo active.
314	312	3. Active When an ovoo is active, players can claim it for their team. If you are attacked in the midst of laying claim, the process will be interrupted.
315	313	4. Claimed When claimed, an ovoo gradually increases a team's tactical rating. A claimed ovoo cannot be seized by the opposition; however, after a certain amount of time has elapsed, it will revert to being inactive again.
316	314	**■Ovoo Rank■** When an ovoo begins activating, it will randomly be assigned a rank: B, A, or S. While higher-ranked ovoos are rarer, they increase a team's tactical rating at a faster rate. The closer it is to the center of the battlefield, the greater the likelihood that an ovoo's rank will be high. **■Changes During Battle■** As the battle progresses, the number of ovoos that can be simultaneously active will decrease. At the same time, the likelihood that they will activate at a higher rank will increase.

319	317	Ocean Fishing
320	318	Description
321	319	Players can board the *Endeavor* to participate in Ocean Fishing, embarking on a journey across the high seas in search of strange and exotic fish.
322	320	■Basic Rules Up to 24 players may join an Ocean Fishing voyage, solo or in parties of up to eight members. Players will be matched together to form a full party when participating solo or with a party of fewer than eight members. Each voyage will sojourn at three locations before returning to Limsa Lominsa. ■How to Participate Speak with Dryskthota at the ferry docks to register as a crew member and board the *Endeavor*. Registration periods last for 15 minutes and occur every two hours (Earth time). If registering as a party, the party leader must register. The ship will depart when 24 crew members have been assembled or the registration period has ended, even if there are fewer than 24 crew members. Registration times may be viewed from the Sailing Schedule. Progressing through the main scenario will give access to an additional route known as the Ruby route. Details on how to unlock this route can be found from the Sailing Schedule. ■Rewards By meeting certain conditions while fishing during the voyage, players will receive achievements that reward special titles, mounts, and minions. Fishers who are level 50 or above and have completed the requisite quest may also receive gatherers' scrips as rewards.
323	321	Specialty Bait
324	322	The Fishermen's Guild has developed special bait specifically for use in ocean fishing. While this bait can attract a wide variety of fish, it is not suitable to catch everything on your journey. Use a wide selection of bait to increase the size and diversity of your catch. Special bait can be purchased at the ferry docks or aboard the *Endeavor*.
325	323	Spectral Currents
326	324	Spectral currents are a special weather effect that form under certain conditions. These currents carry a large number of fish, and provide ample opportunity to fill your inventory. Some types of fish only appear during spectral currents.
327	325	Points
328	326	Players will accumulate points during each voyage, and will receive rewards based on their final score upon returning to Limsa Lominsa. Scores will not be affected if the player releases their catch or if their equipment breaks during the voyage. Your current score is displayed in a special UI window, and a detailed breakdown of the score can be viewed by selecting Score Overview.
329	327	Final Scores
330	328	When a voyage concludes, a player will see both their own score and the scores of other crew members. If certain conditions are met during the voyage, a bonus will be added to individual scores once the voyage ends. ■Individual Score Here players can view their score, and also additional information such as the fish they caught during the voyage and the number of bonus points they received. ■Group Scores Here players can view their own score in addition to the highest 10 scores achieved by members of the same voyage. Players will be unable to view their scores or receive rewards if they abandon the voyage while it is still in progress.
331	329	Bonuses
332	330	Players will receive bonuses to their score when they surpass certain milestones during each voyage. Examples of such milestones include catching more than a certain number of a specific fish solo or as a party, or catching a particularly rare fish. Players may view which fish have contributed to bonuses from the Score Overview window during the voyage, or from the Individual Score window after the voyage has concluded.
333	331	The Puppets' Bunker
334	332	On the Operation of YoRHa Units
335	333	YoRHa units are produced in a variety of models. Each model is distinguished by an alphabetical abbreviation indicating its area of specialization─such as “B” for combat-optimized Battle models, or “S” for the analytical Scanner models, operating as strategists.
336	334	On the Purpose of the Bunker
337	335	The Bunker was designed as a base for exclusive use by YoRHa's forces. As such, it serves as the organization's maintenance facility, as well as a site for the research and development of anti-machine lifeform weaponry.
338	336	YoRHa Unit Report 1
339	337	I encountered a strangely evolved machine lifeform in expedition territory. Not only were its constituent parts markedly distinct, it overall bore a greater resemblance to humanity than to its brethren.
340	338	YoRHa Unit Report 2
341	339	It is possible that the machine lifeforms can evolve in response to their circumstances. If so, we must immediately revise our combat strategy to include appropriate precautions when engaging. And we will need to probe deeper─there is still far too much about the machines that we do not know.
342	340	Saved Machine Lifeform Data 1
343	341	Life in the factory is boring. Not just for me. I see more and more of the other machines skipping shifts. We spend the time watching the combat training, though it is not our job. Is this what humanity refers to as “fun”?
344	342	Saved Machine Lifeform Data 2
345	343	Those of us who learned to have fun are trying more and more things. Some are even learning to reconstruct their own bodies. Strange. Recently I have been enjoying fishing discarded data from computers.
346	344	Saved Machine Lifeform Data 3
347	345	I found an interesting file when I was fishing for data the other day. It described “the reproductive act.” Our bodies do not require these functions. What does humanity gain from them?
348	346	Saved Machine Lifeform Data 4
349	347	Maybe the act of giving birth is in some way special. Maybe it is not the same as when we build more of ourselves. Do we have the capacity to “give birth” to anything? If we did, would it change something for us?
350	348	White-garbed YoRHa Unit's Data Log
351	349	The self-consciousness data for YoRHa unit 21O was discovered on a Bunker server─the Operator presumably uploaded it as an emergency backup due to imminent danger. With this data, it may be possible to simulate 21O's consciousness to take control of defense systems and peripherals. This file will be shared with all currently deployed units.
352	350	Saved Message History
353	351	Regarding the laundering of standard-issue attire: All clothing issued by YoRHa must be turned in for washing on the appropriate day, as detailed below. Late laundry will not be accepted. Combat attire: Upon return from deployment (accepted through the following morning) Civilian attire: Every Sunday LEAVING ONE'S CLOTHES ON THE FLOOR WILL RESULT IN A REPRIMAND.
354	352	Longing
355	353	Suffering is born of something. Sadness is born of something. Joy is born of something. Yet I, who was born to give birth, have never known suffering, nor sadness, nor joy. From what is a soul─a true soul, not a synthetic one─really born?

361	359	Objectives and Rewards
362	360	Retellings
363	361	**Faux Hollows** is a game of choice and chance, accessed via the successful completion of **unreal trials**. Those who uncover its secrets will be rewarded with faux leaves, which can be traded to the faux commander for prizes.
364	362	Unreal trials are new versions of familiar duties, designed to challenge players who have reached the current level cap by providing an experience **of similar difficulty to the original versions of these encounters at the time of their release.** Different unreal trials will be available in each major patch, though in some cases, the feature may be temporarily suspended. To confirm which duties are currently available, check the Raid Finder or the latest patch notes.
365	363	Once per week, players may speak to the faux commander after completing an unreal trial to gain access to Faux Hollows. ※Availability is reset every Tuesday at 5 p.m. (Earth time), and can be confirmed via the Raid Finder entry for any unreal trial.
366	364	The object of Faux Hollows is to reveal the illustrations hidden beneath one or more panels. Choose wisely, for only eleven panels can be turned in total.
367	365	Faux leaves, an exclusive currency that can be exchanged for prizes, will be awarded for finding complete illustrations. ■Types of Illustration
368	366	The amount of faux leaves awarded differs depending on the size and nature of the illustration uncovered: Dual Blades (Large) - 15 Leaves Coffer (Medium) - 35 Leaves Gift (Medium) - 25 Leaves Faux Commander (Small) - 100 Leaves **※A maximum of 1,000 faux leaves can be held at one time.** ■Strategy One large illustration and one medium illustration will always be hidden in Faux Hollows, but a small illustration is not certain to appear. As each type of illustration requires a certain number of adjacent panels, **it is wise to consider the likely placement of illustrations of different sizes before using up any turns.**
369	367	Uncovering a **large illustration** grants a **retelling**. With this reward, it is possible to complete an unreal trial and access Faux Hollows once more before a week has passed, making it a viable alternative to solely aiming for illustrations that grant a high number of faux leaves. **※Only one retelling may be earned per week, and it can only be used the same week. Retellings reset every Tuesday at 5 p.m. (Earth time).

396	394	■Basic Rules Players can enter Save the Queen areas solo or in a party. It is possible to form a party even after entering the instance. ■Requirements A Disciple of War or Magic level 71 or higher is required to enter. ■Restrictions Once inside, you are free to change to any Disciple of War or Magic that meets the requirements to enter. However, you cannot change jobs while participating in a critical engagement. All forays in Save the Queen areas are level synced, with character levels adjusted to 80, and all equipment adjusted to item level 430. Furthermore, materia bonuses will be ignored, regardless of the item level of gear affixed with materia. Any experience points gained will apply to your job level prior to level sync.
397	395	Your reputation in Save the Queen areas is represented by your **Resistance rank**. To increase your Resistance rank, you can participate in skirmishes and critical engagements to earn **mettle**. After earning sufficient mettle, speak with the Resistance commander at any nearby encampment to be promoted. As you increase in rank, the Resistance's front line will advance, allowing you to explore new areas, as well as increase the capacity of the lost finds cache. Your rank and mettle earned will be retained between visits─progress will not be lost when you depart Save the Queen areas.
398	396	Falling in battle will incur a penalty. ■Incapacitation Penalty A portion of the mettle required to reach your next rank will be lost upon incapacitation. ■Return Penalty After being incapacitated, using Return to retreat from the battlefield to a nearby encampment will incur an additional penalty of lost mettle. This penalty can also be incurred by leaving the instance while incapacitated. The amount of mettle lost is dependent on your Resistance rank. It is worth noting, however, your rank cannot go down as a result of losing mettle. Furthermore, no penalty will be incurred below Resistance rank 5.
399	397	Critical engagements are special, limited encounters initiated by defeating certain adversaries in Save the Queen areas.
400	398	Once a critical engagement has been initiated, players must request deployment to participate.
401	399	Only a limited number of players can participate in a critical engagement. The Resistance will recruit combatants for a limited time, after which players will be randomly selected from those who registered.
402	400	It is possible to gain priority deployment for critical engagements. This can be accomplished in one of two ways: ■Quartermaster's Priority Deployment Players may receive priority deployment in exchange for Bozjan clusters by speaking to the Resistance quartermaster at any nearby encampment. ■Combatant's Priority Deployment Players who contribute to the initiation of a critical engagement may receive priority when registering for their next deployment. It should be noted that those with combatant's priority deployment are more likely to be chosen. When registering as a party, all party members must have the same type of priority deployment for it to be recognized.
403	401	When defeating warmachina, there is a chance players will come across Bozjan clusters.
404	402	These crystals can be traded to the Resistance quartermaster at any nearby encampment for various goods and services. ■Critical Engagement Priority Deployment Bozjan clusters can be used to gain priority deployment for critical engagements. ■Item Exchange Bozjan clusters can also be used to exchange for various items, including forgotten fragments.
405	403	■Overview Lost actions are special abilities that can only be used in Save the Queen areas. To acquire these actions, players must first find forgotten fragments, which drop occasionally when participating in skirmishes and critical engagements. These fragments can be examined by a Resistance appraiser, transforming them into lost actions. There are a variety of lost actions to be found, some requiring a certain Resistance rank before they can be used. Any lost actions you have obtained will be automatically stored in the lost finds cache. ■Uses and Restrictions There are six types of lost actions: offensive, defensive, restorative, beneficial, tactical, and detrimental. In certain cases, they may also be used as items rather than traditional actions. It should be noted, however, that no one job can master them all, as each action has specific job requirements to use them.
406	404	Any lost actions not currently in use can be found in the lost finds cache. The cache can hold up to 200 of any given lost action. Those that exceed this limit will be lost.
407	405	To use lost actions in battle, they must first be moved from the lost finds cache to the lost finds holster. You must choose carefully, as the holster can only hold a limited number of actions. However, this limit can be increased with a higher Resistance rank.
408	406	■Removing and Storing Lost Actions Lost actions can be moved freely between the lost finds cache and lost finds holster. Be mindful, however, that the lost finds holster has a limited capacity for actions. ■Action Sets Up to 10 combinations of your favorite lost actions can be saved as sets.
409	407	While assisting the Bozjan Resistance in their fight against the Empire, you will have the opportunity to create Bozjan gear. This gear possesses special attributes which are only effective when fighting in Save the Queen areas.
410	408	Using Lost Actions
411	409	Before lost actions can be used, they must first be converted into duty actions. Once converted, they will remain as duty actions even after leaving the instance, and will only expire after all uses have been depleted. Lost actions from the item category, however, are unique in that they may be used directly from the lost finds holster. They may also be assigned to your hotbar, making them ideal for use in emergencies.
412	410	■Keyboard and Mouse All duty actions and items can be used by left-clicking their icon, but can be bound to other keys. ■Gamepad Duty actions are used by pressing while holding down both and . Lost actions from the item category must be selected from the lost finds holster. They may also be assigned to your hotbar.
413	411	Voyage Missions
414	412	Upon boarding the *Endeavor*, players will receive three missions from the captain. Mission details will be displayed in a special UI window while the voyage is underway and will vary from route to route. A mission requirement might be “Catch sharks,” or “Catch fish with a weak bite.” Bite strength can be determined by the number of exclamation marks displayed above a fisher's head when hooking a fish: **! = weak bite !! = strong bite !!! = ferocious bite** To complete a mission, a player must catch the required number of designated fish, with bonus points being added to a player's score at the end of the voyage based on the number of missions completed. If you're aiming for the highest score possible, don't let these missions be the ones that got away!
415	413	Abandoning a Voyage
416	414	Players who abandon a voyage partway through will be unable to register to board again during the current voyage's registration period. ※Unlike the usual Duty Finder penalty, this restriction only applies to Ocean Fishing. ※Boarding registration restrictions apply across all Worlds.

422	420	Overview
423	421	Setting Match Rules
424	422	An Open tournament is a Triple Triad competition in which eight participants battle it out under a prearranged set of rules.
425	423	■The Basics Designed for solo players, this tournament mode pits registered participants against each other in contests of up to eight opponents. ■How to Participate Speak with the Open tournament official in the Gold Saucer to register for the next available competition. **Registration periods last for 30 minutes and occur every two hours (Earth time).** The tournament will begin when 8 participants have been assembled or once the requisite amount of time has elapsed since the registration period began. If there are fewer than 8 participants available, NPCs will sit in for any missing players. Registration times may be viewed via the Open tournament schedule. ■Rewards MGP, Triple Triad cards, and other prizes will be awarded at the end of a tournament, with final rankings and win rate determining the reward amount. Titles and items are also available as achievement rewards. In the case that multiple players earn the same ranking, the MGP amount for the ranking reward will be adjusted accordingly.
426	424	■Tournament Style An Open tournament consists of three matches, with participants earning points based on the outcome of each game: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. At the culmination of the third match, the participant with the most points is declared the victor. In addition to victory points, the final number of captured cards is also recorded for each match. In the case that participants end the tournament with equal points, the player who most dominated the card grid over the course of the competition is awarded a higher ranking. ■Matching Opponents For the first match, opponents are decided by pairing off the 8 participants at random. For the second and third matches, players are pit against whomever shares the closest point total at that stage in the tournament.
427	425	■Match Rules Regardless of any other ruleset in play, every Open tournament enforces the Draft rule. This rule guarantees a more balanced playing field by restricting participants to the use of temporary “house” cards.
428	426	At the beginning of the competition, three sets of randomly generated cards will be displayed. Participants must choose one option from each set to build their deck, which will then be locked in for the rest of the tournament.
429	427	Players who lack confidence in their deck-building abilities are encouraged to make use of the **Recommended** button. This handy feature will automatically choose the strongest cards available. Please note that while card options are randomized for each player, the number of rare cards on offer will always be the same. ■Rulesets Speak with the tournament official and view the schedule to see which rules will be in effect for the upcoming competitions. Each tournament will be marked as having either a “basic” or “advanced” ruleset. With the exception of Draft, basic tournaments have no advanced rules in play. All that is required to enjoy these matches is an understanding of the standard Triple Triad rules. Advanced tournaments are for players who prefer their card battles with an extra layer of complexity. In addition to Draft, these contests will also feature advanced rules such as Same or Plus. The Open tournament schedule will switch back and forth between basic and advanced rulesets, so you won't need to wait long before your preferred style of competition rolls around!
430	428	An Invitational tournament is a Triple Triad competition which follows the same basic structure as an Open tournament, with the main difference being that there are no rewards on offer. Participants may also register at any time as either a solo player or as a party. ■How to Participate Players seeking the thrill of tournament play can form a party and register to enter the Triple Triad Invitational Parlor via the Duty Finder. In the case that a player registers solo, or a party has less than 8 members, the missing numbers will be made up by Triple Triad regulars or Gold Saucer employees. ■Rematches At the end of an Invitational tournament, you will have the opportunity to organize a rematch. If every player agrees to the rematch, you can begin a new tournament with the current participants without needing to leave or re-register the party. Up to three rematches are available per tournament registration.
431	429	■Setting the Rules Invitational tournaments have no set rules in play.
432	430	Upon entering the Parlor, the party leader is tasked with deciding which rules will apply during the competition. With the exception of Sudden Death and Random, any combination of up to four different advanced rules can be set. **Remember: you must deselect Draft if you wish to battle using your own custom-built decks.** For the sake of a harmonious experience, it is strongly suggested that players agree upon a ruleset before commencing registration!
433	431	Dear Player, I hope this message finds you. I'm going on a journey─to learn the secrets of the white spheres for myself. Maybe some of them will be of use to you... I'll keep a record, just in case. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　- Konogg
434	432	Dear Player, I forgot to mention─I brought a pod with me. It assures me that the spheres came from a different world, and their purpose is to invade others by duplicating the machine lifeforms. It's weird to think that to someone, ours is the “other” world. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　- Konogg
435	433	Dear Player, I found out that 2B and 9S accessed the spheres before this all started, which is why they knew about the machine lifeforms' plans to take over our world. They added their own data to that of the machine lifeforms when copies were being made─like some sort of technological virus, apparently─so that they could come here and stop the machines. They were our allies, from beginning to end... 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　- Konogg
436	434	Dear Player, The white spheres have ties to 2B and 9S's world, which is almost inconceivably advanced. I've found that data there is stored by machines bearing the names of gods, and even the tiniest glimpse of the smallest portion of it reveals memories by the hundreds─*people's* memories. What does it *mean*? I need to know. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　- Konogg
437	435	Dear Player, I knew all along, really. I knew that Anogg was dead, and that *thing* with me only looked like her. But being with her, whatever she was... It kept me alive. It made me want to go on living. If the spheres can create anything─rebuild it in our world─then surely they can grant me this. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　- Konogg
438	436	For as long as I can remember, it's been just the two of us. Hardly anyone even bothered to be kind to us. But we always had each other. When I was with Anogg, there was nothing to fear. What my sister wanted most was to get revenge on the world that had done this to us. I can't accept that the world got her first. I won't.

499	497	Overview
500	498	Resistance Honors
501	499	Proofs of Mettle
502	500	Resistance honors are awards granted to those who have demonstrated exemplary heroism and courage on the battlefield. To receive Resistance honors, you must first amass sufficient mettle and speak with the Resistance councilor to receive proofs of mettle. These may then be exchanged for honors of your choosing. Once in your possession, Resistance honors will grant enhanced attributes while undertaking duties in Save the Queen areas.
503	501	There are three types of Resistance honors, and you can hold up to ten of each. The more of these honors in your possession, the greater their effect. It should be noted, however, that the required number of proofs of mettle increases as you earn more Resistance honors. Their effects are as follows: ■Sun of Fortitude Increases maximum HP. ■Sun of Valor Increases damage dealt. ■Sun of Succor Increases healing potency.
504	502	Proofs of mettle can be received from the Resistance councilor in exchange for mettle. After receiving a sufficient number of proofs, they may then be exchanged for Resistance honors. Proofs of mettle do not occupy inventory space, and the number in your possession can be confirmed at any time via the HUD.
505	503	Solo Engagements
506	504	Players who exhibit exemplary performance during certain critical engagements may be challenged to a duel by enemy combatants. In the event more than one player has accepted an invitation to duel, one will be selected from among them at random. Should you be chosen, make certain you are duly prepared and keep lost actions at the ready─these engagements are not for the faint of heart.
507	505	Notoriety
508	506	In the event you are not chosen to duel, your participation in the prerequisite critical engagement will earn you notoriety. As your notoriety increases, so too will your chances of being chosen to duel. It should be noted, however, that all notoriety is lost when you are selected.
509	507	Large-scale Assaults
510	508	Large-scale assaults are duties in Save the Queen areas wherein up to 48 players enter imperial strongholds. These duties become available when a certain number of eligible players are in the area, and a sufficient amount of time has passed. Coordination and teamwork are key to overcome the various pitfalls and powerful enemies that await within.
511	509	Wildlife Encounters at Sea
512	510	While sailing the seas on the *Endeavor*, you will occasionally come across dolphins and seagulls. Sailors, notorious for their superstitious beliefs, consider such encounters to be omens of good fortune─the appearance of a lively pod or raucous flock is said to be a boon for fishing, and even influence the likelihood of a spectral current. Be sure to pay close attention when your voyage is favored by these unexpected visitors!
513	511	Initiating Large-scale Assaults
514	512	When seeking to initiate large-scale assaults, it should be noted that the completion of critical engagements and skirmishes will reduce the time remaining before a large-scale assault may be triggered.
515	513	Zadnor
516	514	At Zadnor, players can participate in large-scale encounters to help the Bozjan Resistance reclaim their homeland from the IVth Imperial Legion.

586	584	Crystalline Conflict
587	585	Overview
588	586	Crystalline Conflict is a tactical confrontation between teams Astra and Umbra. A maximum of ten players─five per team─may participate in total.
589	587	Match Types
590	588	There are three types of matches in Crystalline Conflict─casual, ranked, and custom. The primary difference among these is that ranked matches affect players' risers and tiers, and thus their overall ranks as well. **■Casual Matches■** Losing or winning a casual match has no effect on riser or tier. **■Ranked Matches■** Loss or victory in these competitive matches affects participants' risers and tiers. Thus, when playing a ranked match, you will be matched with players of similar tier and riser to your own. Furthermore, a match can only take place on selected data centers, which alternate each season. **■Custom Matches■** Custom matches allow participants to customize their group, arena, and other match settings. Members may be recruited via the Party Finder. The results of a custom match will not be reflected on Player PvP profiles, count toward achievements, or affect risers or tiers. Additionally, PvP EXP, Series EXP, Wolf Marks, and similar rewards cannot be earned during custom matches. **■Arenas■** Both casual and ranked matches are held in a variety of different arenas. The staging ground currently in play rotates periodically according to Earth time.
591	589	Risers and Tiers
592	590	A player's riser and tier indicate their demonstrated skill in ranked Crystalline Conflict matches.
593	591	**■Tier■** Each player will rate in one of eight tiers─Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Crystal, Omega, or Ultima. Players ranked in or below the Platinum tier will never drop down to a lower tier during that season. However, it is possible to drop to a lower tier from Diamond and higher tiers. **■Riser■** The sub-levels within each tier are called “risers.” The number of risers varies per tier, with three risers each for Bronze and Silver, four for Gold and Platinum, and five within the Diamond tier. Regardless of tier placement, it is always possible for players to drop down to a lower riser. **■Rising Stars■** When you win a ranked match, you will gain one Rising Star. Similarly, a loss will remove one Star. Once you have earned the maximum three Rising Stars in one riser, an additional win will allow you to move up a riser. Winning three or more matches in a row while in the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond tier will apply a streak bonus, netting you two Rising Stars per win. **■Crystal Credits■** Once you have reached Crystal tier, victory and defeat will be reflected by your Crystal Credit, rather than Rising Stars. The amount of Credit you earn or forfeit in matches is determined by the difference in average Credit between your team and the opposing team. Earning sufficient Credit will promote you to the Omega and Ultima tiers. The required Credit for promotion will change each season. Streak bonuses do not apply to Crystal Credit. **■Resets■** At the end of each season, the tier and risers of all participants will be lowered, the amount by which will vary between seasons.
594	592	Rules of Engagement
595	593	Success in Crystalline Conflict depends on each team's ability to gain control of the tactical crystal and deliver it to the goal.
596	594	**■Victory Conditions■** To win, one team must move the tactical crystal from the center of the field to the goal point. If neither team accomplishes this during the time limit, victory will be awarded to the team with greatest progress. “Progress,” displayed on the HUD throughout the match, indicates the maximum progress a team has made in bringing the tactical crystal toward their goal at any point during the match─as opposed to its current position relative to either goal─and thus will never decrease even should the crystal be reclaimed by the opposing team. If neither team reaches the goal by the time limit, and progress for both teams is tied or the team with lower progress score is currently within the ring around the tactical crystal, the match will proceed into overtime. During overtime, the victory conditions differ depending on both teams' progress. ・Should your team have the greater progress score upon the commencement of overtime, you must keep the entire opposing team out of the ring around the tactical crystal for three seconds to win. ・Should the opposing team have the greater progress score upon the commencement of overtime, you must beat their progress score during overtime to win. ・Should the teams have equal progress scores upon the commencement of overtime, you must beat the opposing team's progress score during overtime to win. Should neither team fulfill victory requirements by the end of overtime, the following conditions will apply: ・The team with the greater progress score will be awarded victory. ・If teams have equal progress scores, the team with the greater progress score upon the commencement of overtime will be declared the winner. ・If teams had equal progress scores upon the commencement of overtime and have equal progress scores by the end of overtime, victory will be awarded to the team that moved the tactical crystal closest to the goal point. If the tactical crystal remains at the center of the field, the match will end in a draw.
597	595	**■The Tactical Crystal■** The all-important object placed at the arena's centerpoint is called the “tactical crystal.” It will remain bound until the first 20 seconds of the match have passed.
598	596	Once the tactical crystal is unbound, a ring will appear at its base. Should one team be fully in control of this ring─with no members of the opposing team present within its bounds─that team will be able to move the crystal. The crystal can only be moved along the crystal line─a dedicated path within the arena. It will move faster when: ・It reaches a stretch of the line through which the same team has moved it before. ・The controlling team's progress is less than that of the opposing team. **■Checkpoints■** Checkpoints can be found halfway between the centerpoint and each team's goal.
599	597	Upon reaching a checkpoint, the tactical crystal's progress will be halted temporarily. The team attempting to clear the checkpoint must remain in the crystal's ring until the Clear Progress gauge reaches 100%, at which point the crystal can once again be moved. The Clear Progress gauge will fill when the team attempting to clear the checkpoint has more players in the crystal's ring than the opposing team, and the gauge will fill faster the larger this discrepancy is.
600	598	Features
601	599	Crystalline Conflict arenas include a variety of tactically useful elements to make matches more dynamic. These include arena events, designed to complement the specific arena in which they occur, as well as the following features: **■Medicine Kits■** Each arena comes equipped with medicine kits. Accessing these kits will restore a player's HP. Medicine kits cannot be claimed by those whose HP is at 100%, and each can only be claimed by one player. Once a kit has been claimed, a replacement will be generated after a set period of time has passed.
602	600	**■Sprint Zones■** Certain stages feature unique paths suited to running. Entering these “sprint zones” will grant the effect of Swift Sprint, greatly increasing player movement speed.
603	601	**■Jump Glyphs■** Stepping on a jump glyph will rapidly transport you to a specific location on the field.
604	602	Arenas
605	603	The Palaistra
606	604	Inspired by the iconic architecture of the Northern Empty, this glamour-woven arena features no specialized gimmicks─so there can be no doubt that to the superior team goes the glory.
607	605	The Volcanic Heart
608	606	This staging ground lies at the foot of a volcano no less volatile for its artificial nature. If you can't take the heat, abandon all hope of victory.
609	607	**■Eruptions■** The Volcanic Heart periodically erupts, scattering self-destructing bombs across the field. Those who fail to avoid their explosive radii will take damage.
610	608	Bomb cores will remain at the site of bombs' destruction, granting those who acquire them the following: ・An effect increasing damage dealt for a short time. Stacks up to 10 times. ・A boost to the limit gauge.
611	609	Cloud Nine
612	610	Though the cloudtops may be illusory, the turbulence in this arena feels real enough! Ride its winds to victory...or defeat.
613	611	**■Turbulence■** Players cast up into the air by turbulence will take damage upon being returned unceremoniously to the ground. However, they may acquire black chocobo feathers while in the air, granting them the following: ・A soft landing, nullifying the typical damage taken from turbulence. ・An effect increasing attack speed and movement speed for a short time. ・A boost to the limit gauge. The locations of black chocobo feathers are indicated by markers on the ground. Those who do not wish to go flying can negate the effects of turbulence by using Guard.
614	612	Turbulence also leaves behind a twister and gale sphere at the site where it occurred. Stumbling into these twisters will result in damage and knockback. If your Guard is active, it will be depleted by the twister. Gale spheres, on the other hand, will greatly increase movement speed. Only one player may use any given gale sphere, and they will reappear after a fixed period of time while turbulence is active.
615	613	**■Participation Requirements■** Crystalline Conflict matches can be entered via the Duty Finder. To register, participants must use a job of level 30 or above, and may not be part of a preformed party. **■Role Requirements■** There are no restrictions on the balance of roles within a team. However, there cannot be two players of the same job on one team. **■Time Limit■** A standard match lasts five minutes. In the event that neither team claims victory in the allotted time, the match will go into overtime, which may last up to ten minutes. **■Retaliation■** Incapacitated players will be returned to their base, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat after a short delay─however, this delay increases with each incapacitation. Players will return to their senses with HP and MP fully restored and all action recast timers reset. Furthermore, they will be invulnerable so long as they remain at their base. This effect will be lost upon returning to the battlefield. **■Other Restrictions■** The use of the following is prohibited while participating in Crystalline Conflict: 　・Chat (aside from Quick Chat) 　　* Not restricted for custom matches. 　・Class or job changes 　・Gear changes 　・Items 　・Chocobo companions 　・Mounts 　・Teleportation 　・Return

705	703	**Watering a plot will increase the soil's level of moisture, and promote the growth of crops.** To begin, enable Water mode from the islekeep's index. While the mode is active, select the desired plot to water it. Empty plots may also be watered, should you be so inclined. Furthermore, plots will automatically be watered when it rains while you are on your island. ■Moisture Level A plot's level of moisture has the following four stages: **“Soaked,” “Wet,” “Moist,” and “Dry.” Crops will grow happily and heartily when the soil is between soaked and moist, and will cease to grow upon becoming dry.** A plot will be soaked immediately after being watered, and its moisture level will gradually decrease until it has become dry. ・Soaked: The maximum level of moisture. **A plot cannot be watered at this stage.** Active for approximately six hours after watering a plot. ・Wet A moderate level of moisture. **Plots may be watered at this stage.** Active between approximately six to twenty-four hours after watering a plot. ・Moist: The lowest level of moisture. Active between approximately twenty-four to thirty-six hours after watering a plot. ・Dry: The level at which a plot is bereft of moisture. Active approximately thirty-six hours after watering a plot. **Crops will be unable to grow on plots that have reached this stage.** Speak with the produce producer near the cropland to access the Cropland Management menu.
706	704	On the Cropland Management menu, a plot's current level of moisture will be displayed under “Water” with the following icons:
707	705	**Gather mode allows you to harvest the yield from a crop and store it as items in your isleventory.** To begin, enable Gather mode from the islekeep's index. While the mode is active, select a fully grown crop to harvest its yield. With the plot now empty, you may plant seeds into it once again. Crops require sufficient time and water to grow, and have four stages of development: **“Sprout,” “Seedling,” “Blossom,” and “Produce.”** Speak with the produce producer near the cropland to access the Cropland Management menu.
708	706	On the Cropland Management menu, a plot's current stage of development will be displayed under “Growth” with the following icons:
709	707	**Culling allows you to clear a plot of any unwanted crops.** Enable Cull mode from the islekeep's index, then select which plot you wish to empty. Once a plot has been cleared of crops, you may plant seeds in it again.
710	708	**You may entrust the care of your crops to the gardener, who will arrange for a team of green-thumbed mammets to sow, water, and gather yields in your stead.** Speak with the produce producer after obtaining the appropriate mammet-sized tools to get started. Please note that you will not receive island experience points when retrieving yields harvested through the gardening service. ■Entrusting Your Crops From the Cropland Management menu, choose the plot you wish the gardener to maintain, and select the “Entrust to Gardener” subcommand. If seeds have already been planted in the plot you select, the same type of seed will automatically be applied for further cultivation. If the plot you select is currently empty, choose which seeds you wish to cultivate. A daily fee of seafarer's cowries will be required to maintain your crops. Maintenance will be suspended if seafarer's cowries are insufficient, your supply of seeds has been exhausted, or if yields have accumulated to the maximum of 50. Plots will be marked “Under Care” if maintenance is proceeding smoothly and “Care Halted” if maintenance has been suspended. The fee of seafarer's cowries will be automatically collected each day at 5 p.m. (Earth time) for all plots marked “Under Care.” The care for plots marked “Care Halted” will resume automatically once the required conditions for maintenance have been achieved, and collection of the daily fee will resume accordingly. ■Ending Gardening Services From the Cropland Management menu, select the plot you wish to exempt from gardening services, and choose either the “Dismiss Gardener” or “Collect Yield & End Gardening Services” subcommand. ■Collecting Yields Gardening mammets will harvest your crops for you, but these yields will not be added to your isleventory until you collect them. From the Cropland Management menu, use either the “Collect Yield & Resume Gardening Services” or “Collect Yield & End Gardening Services” subcommand to collect your crops, and continue or quit gardening services, respectively.
711	709	**Using handmade restraints, you can catch wild animals on your island to domesticate them.**
712	710	To attempt to capture a creature, enable Capture mode from the islekeep's index, and select the type of restraint you wish to use. ■Restraints While all restraints are single-use items, they differ in regards to what type of animal they can catch. Animals can only be captured by using the appropriate restraints.
713	711	**The animals you capture on your island will be sent to live in the pasture.**
714	712	By taking good care of your animals, you can collect materials from them, which may be used in a variety of ways.
715	713	**You can interact with animals grazing in the pasture in various ways, including feeding them.** To begin, enable Feed mode from the islekeep's index, then approach an animal in the pasture equipped with the feed item of your choice to give it the tasty treat it deserves. Feeding an animal will improve its mood and sate its appetite. ■Feed There are three different types of animal feed available: island sweetfeed, island greenfeed, and premium island greenfeed. Each feed can be crafted via the Sanctuary Crafting Log, and both types of greenfeed require produce yielded from the cropland. ■Food Animals have the following four stages of appetite: **“Stuffed,” “Satisfied,” “Hungry,” and “Starving.”** An animal's appetite increases with time, and its mood worsens in parallel. Any type of feed can satiate an animal until it is stuffed, and animals cannot be fed if already stuffed. ■Mood Animals have the following five moods: **“Gleeful,” “Chipper,” “Content,” “Unhappy,” and “Hostile.”** When an animal is starving, its mood will become hostile. Nourish animals in your care with food to improve their mood, and you may gather more leavings─among other boons!─in return. Unlike appetite, an animal's mood is affected by the type of feed given to it. ・Island Sweetfeed Improves an animal's mood by **one level.** Can improve the mood up to **content**. ・Island Greenfeed Improves an animal's mood by **two levels.** Can improve the mood up to **chipper**. ・Premium Island Greenfeed Improves an animal's mood by **two levels.** Can improve the mood up to **gleeful**. Speak with the creature comforter near the pasture to access the Pasture Management menu.
716	714	On the Pasture Management menu, each animal's current condition will be displayed under “Mood” and “Food” with the following icons:
717	715	**When used in the pasture, Gather mode allows you to collect materials shed by the animals in your custody.** Enable Gather mode from the islekeep's index, and select the animal whose leavings you wish to collect. Leavings may be collected once a day from each animal. An animal's mood affects the type and amount of leavings it produces.
718	716	**The Pet feature allows you to lovingly pat your animals.** Enable Pet mode from the islekeep's index and select the animal you wish to engage with. While your soul may experience rejuvenation from patting happy animals, this has no practical effect on gameplay.
719	717	**Beckoning calls animals to your current location.** Enable Beckon mode from the islekeep's index and select the animal you wish to call over. Once an animal reaches your current location, it will remain in that general vicinity.
720	718	You may release animals from the pasture if you wish to return them to their natural habitat. To do this, speak to the creature comforter to access the Pasture Management menu. After selecting the animal you wish to part with, choose the “Release” subcommand. Please note that you cannot recover specific animals after they have been released.
721	719	You may change the names of animals in your pasture. To do this, speak to the creature comforter to access the Pasture Management menu. After selecting the animal you wish to name, choose the “Change Nickname” subcommand and follow the on-screen prompts.
722	720	**You may entrust the care of your animals to the caretaker, who will arrange for a team of kind-hearted mammets to feed your animals and gather their leavings in your stead.** Speak with the creature comforter after obtaining the appropriate mammet-sized tool to get started. Please note that you will not receive island experience points when retrieving leavings gathered via the caretaking service. ■Entrusting Your Animals From the Pasture Management menu, choose the animal you wish the caretaker to see to, and select the “Entrust to Caretaker” subcommand. After confirming the conditions of care, choose which feed you wish to use, and caretaking services will begin. A daily fee of seafarer's cowries will be required to maintain your animals. Maintenance will be suspended if seafarer's cowries are insufficient or if leavings have accumulated to the maximum of 20. Animals will be marked “Under Care” if maintenance is proceeding smoothly and “Care Halted” if maintenance has been suspended. The fee of seafarer's cowries will be automatically collected each day at 5 p.m. (Earth time) for all animals marked “Under Care.” The care for animals marked “Care Halted” will resume automatically once the required conditions for maintenance have been achieved, and collection of the daily fee will resume accordingly. ■Ending Caretaking Services From the Pasture Management menu, select the animal you wish to exempt from caretaking services, and choose either the “Dismiss Caretaker” or “Collect Leavings & End Caretaking Services” subcommand. ■Collecting Leavings Caretaking mammets will gather animal products for you, but these leavings will not be added to your isleventory until you collect them. From the Pasture Management menu, use either the “Collect Leavings & Resume Caretaking Services” or “Collect Leavings & End Caretaking Services” subcommand to collect the materials produced by your animals, and continue or quit caretaking services, respectively.
723	721	**The workshop provides a place for mammets to create handicrafts out of the materials obtained on your island.**
724	722	After conveying a schedule of production to the tactful taskmaster, isleworks handicrafts will be automatically created and sold for a profit of seafarer's cowries. Make the most of the workshop's various features, and you'll soon be swimming in a sea of cowries!
725	723	From sundry items to foodstuffs and furnishings, isleworks handicrafts are specialty goods created from your island's natural resources.
726	724	The following elements are crucial to isleworks handicraft creation: ・Materials The production of handicrafts requires materials that can be gathered from the wilds of your island, the crops you grow, or the animals you keep. ・Time **The time it takes to create a given item is displayed in hours.** In order to produce a given handicraft, a sufficient block of time must be available in the workshop's agenda. **※Please refer to “Agenda” for further details.** ・Value **The selling price of each handicraft is displayed in seafarer's cowries.** As your workshop's level increases, so too will the value of the items it produces. ・Category **Every isleworks handicraft falls under a certain category, which in turn affects efficiency bonuses. ※Please refer to “Efficiency Bonuses” for further details.** Additional handicrafts will become available for creation as your sanctuary rank increases.
727	725	The workshop's agenda indicates which isleworks handicrafts will be created at what time. Speak with the tactful taskmaster near your cozy cabin to access the Isleworks Agenda interface, from which you may create, review, and edit the schedule of production.
728	726	The following statuses may be reflected on the agenda.
729	727	①Pre-production **Handicrafts in pre-production have been scheduled, but not yet created.** Production will begin at the time indicated on the agenda. ②In Production **Handicrafts in production are currently being created.** ③Insufficient Material **You do not have the materials required for creating these handicrafts.** ④Shipped **Shipped handicrafts have been completed and sold.** ■Setting the Agenda To schedule handicrafts for production, select the plus button on the Isleworks Agenda interface.
730	728	Handicrafts available for production will be displayed in the Set Agenda window. By selecting your desired item followed by the Schedule button, creation of the handicraft will be added to the agenda. **You may schedule handicrafts for production even if you do not currently have the necessary materials.** As long as sufficient materials are acquired by the time of scheduled production, the handicraft will be created automatically. ■Clearing the Agenda Handicrafts not yet in production may be erased from the schedule. **While you can also clear the agenda of items currently in production, please note that the necessary materials will still be used and cannot be recovered.** To erase all items in a given cycle, select the Clear Agenda button in the upper right-hand corner of the Isleworks Agenda interface. **※Please refer to “Cycles & Seasons” for further details on cycles.** ■Registering Presets You may save a workshop's schedule for a given cycle and apply it to other workshops or future cycles. Select the item from which the agenda preset should start, and choose “Register Preset” from the subcommands. **※You may save a maximum of 10 agenda presets.** To apply an agenda preset to your schedule, choose the “Select Preset” subcommand from the plus button on the Isleworks Agenda interface. There is no limitation to the number of times you can apply a preset.
731	729	■Cycles and Seasons **The workshop's agenda is comprised of cycles and seasons.** One cycle lasts 24 hours (Earth time), and one season lasts for seven cycles. **In other words, cycles are equivalent to Earth-time days and seasons to Earth-time weeks.** Agendas for the current season and next season may be viewed from the Isleworks Agenda interface.
732	730	■Rest Cycles As a conscientious employer, you are required to allocate 2 cycles of rest per season. During rest cycles, no handicrafts can be created. You can schedule and review rest cycles by selecting the Set Rest Cycles option in the upper right-hand corner of the Isleworks Agenda interface.
733	731	■Production and Shipping Mammets will automatically proceed with scheduled handicraft creation and shipping if all necessary materials have been acquired by the start of production. You may use your time freely while they work. ■Collecting Earnings Once handicrafts have been successfully completed and shipped, you may collect your profits by speaking with the tactful taskmaster.
734	732	Your mammets will get into the groove of production when creating isleworks handicrafts within the same category. You will receive an efficiency bonus for scheduling such items in sequence, which will become outlined in blue on the Isleworks Agenda interface.
735	733	**Efficiency bonuses will cause those handicrafts produced immediately after similarly categorized crafts to be produced twofold, thereby doubling earnings.** Even though double the handicrafts will be created under an efficiency bonus, no additional materials are required. **Furthermore, efficiency bonuses may be chained.** Using efficiency bonuses strategically can vastly increase your workshop's earnings. ■Limitations Efficiency bonuses will not be applied to the same item created in sequence. Additionally, efficiency bonuses are only applicable within a given cycle, and will not carry over to the following cycle. ■Groove When efficiency bonuses are triggered, your mammets' happy production groove will intensify. High groove scores will apply a further bonus to profits when handicrafts are shipped. Groove is reset at the beginning of each season. Maximum groove attainable will also increase with the number of landmarks constructed on your island.
736	734	**The granary will send mammets to various locations throughout your island to forage for resources.**
737	735	Foraging expeditions yield an array of materials, some of which are designated as “rare” and can only be obtained via the granary's services. Construct a granary in a vacant plot to unlock foraging expeditions.
738	736	Schedule foraging expeditions by speaking with the excitable explorer outside the cozy cabin.
739	737	Choose “Select Terrain” in the Foraging Expeditions window to review the locations to which you may send a team of exploratory mammets.
740	738	Each terrain on your island yields different materials. After choosing your desired expedition area, indicate the number of days you wish your mammets to forage, then press Confirm. **Mammets will return with the materials they have gathered thus far at 5 p.m. (Earth time) every day until the foraging expedition is over.** Constructing landmarks and renovating your granaries will increase the amount of materials your mammets can gather.
741	739	Accept materials gathered from foraging expeditions by speaking with the excitable explorer outside of the cozy cabin and selecting the Collect button, located under the Expedition Terrain image.
742	740	**Any minion in your possession may freely wander within your hideaway.**
743	741	Select Manage Minions from the islekeep's index to access the Free-range Minions menu and get started.
744	742	■Release the Minions! The Free-range Minions menu displays the current population of released minions in each available area. After selecting your desired area, press Select Minions and let loose your tiny friends via subcommand. **You can release one of each minion, up to a starting maximum of 40 minions. You will be able to release more minions as your island development progresses.** Please note that your minions are enjoying this island paradise as much as you are, and may therefore seem different than they do when accompanying you on your journeys. You will find that the nameplates of minions roaming the isle will display according to the selected mode in the islekeep's index, irrespective of your character configuration settings. While the “Free” mode is active, minions can be targeted, and their names will be displayed. Conversely, while any other mode is active, they cannot be targeted, and their names will no longer display. ■Retrieving Individual Minions From the Free-range Minions menu, use the “Retrieve Minion” subcommand on the minion you wish to recall.

771	769	Isleworks for Beginners
772	770	What Happens at the Workshop?
773	771	Scheduling Basics
774	772	Congratulations! You have built your very own workshop, where you may make and sell isleworks handicrafts.
775	773	Isleworks handicrafts are artisanal goods made from your island's natural resources. Traders in Limsa Lominsa will be happy to pay a sum of seafarer's cowries in exchange for these goods, allowing you to live your dream of running an island-based small business! In case breaking a sweat isn't your cup of tea, fear not─a team of mammets will create and ship all handicrafts for you. You need only speak to the tactful taskmaster to design the production schedule, then sit back, relax, and watch the cowries pour in.
776	774	Managing a workshop's schedule may seem daunting at first, but once you grasp the basics, handicraft production will feel as refreshing as a tropical breeze! As an example, let's try scheduling the production of an isleworks potion. ■Press Plus to Schedule The plus button on the Isleworks Agenda screen indicates an opening in your schedule. Select this button to get started.
777	775	■Choose Your Handicraft After pressing the plus button, a menu of all handicrafts currently available for production will open. In keeping with our example, select “Isleworks Potion” from the list. You will notice that the materials required to create a given handicraft are displayed on this screen, but you can still schedule an item even if you don't have all the materials just yet. Use the Schedule button to set your agenda!
778	776	■Export Your Items and Reap Your Rewards! Now that you have set an agenda, your faithful team of crafty mammets will create and export all the handicrafts you ordered while you bask in the sunshine and imbibe refreshing liquids. **An isleworks potion takes four hours (Earth time) to produce.** Remember: those who would judge a mammet for the time it takes to produce a handicraft are not worthy of that goodly mammet. After the designated time has passed, put down your beverage long enough to speak with the tactful taskmaster once more, and your pockets will be filled with the earnings from your most recent export! ■Managing Materials **Materials used for the creation of a handicraft will be depleted at the start of production. If you do not possess the required materials by the time production is scheduled to begin, your mammets will be unable to create the handicraft you ordered.** They might even cry due to feelings of inadequacy. So, if you did not have enough island palm leaves or islewort when you scheduled the isleworks potion, be sure to gather two of each by the time production is scheduled to start. Don't be the Warrior of Light who made a mammet cry. You can keep track of what materials will be expended during current or upcoming production by clicking the Review Materials button.
779	777	Reviewing Materials
780	778	Reviewing Earnings
781	779	Tricks of the Trade
782	780	Earnings are not only influenced by factors like workshop level and groove, but the popularity and current supply of handicrafts. Navigating the nuances of market demand will offer you even greater profits than simply renovating your facilities or activating efficiency bonuses. ■Market Research You may review the current state of the market by selecting the “Review Supply & Demand” button in the top right-hand corner of the Isleworks Agenda interface.
783	781	・Popularity **Items will be in one of the following four states of popularity: Very High, High, Average, and Low.** The more popular an item is, the higher it will sell for. Popularity may change at the beginning of a new season, but it will remain constant throughout that season. ・Supply **Items will be in one of the following fives stages of supply: Nonexistent, Insufficient, Sufficient, Surplus, and Overflowing.** The less abundant an item is, the higher it will sell for. Furthermore, the supply of handicrafts may change each cycle according to both commercial trends in Limsa Lominsa and the type/amount of items you sell from your island. You can check shifts in demand from the previous cycle to the current one by referencing the “Demand Shift” column of the Supply & Demand interface. If you produce too much of the same product, the market will be inundated with it, causing supply to become “Overflowing.” Pay special attention to changes in the market when looking to create a large amount of a single kind of handicraft.
784	782	A variety of resources are necessary for the production of handicrafts. You may confirm what materials are required for your workshop's current schedule by selecting “Review Materials” and accessing the Material Allocation interface.
785	783	You may review the necessary materials for the current cycle, current season, or both current and next season. If a deficit appears for any materials, please be sure to acquire them by the start of scheduled production.
786	784	You may review a record of your recent profits by speaking with the tactful taskmaster and selecting “Review earnings.”
787	785	The Earnings Report displays total profits for the current season, the previous season, and the highest recorded profits for any season. The value of the handicrafts you sell will fluctuate depending on their popularity and demand at the time they are sold. You can check the fluctuation in their value by reviewing the “Value Change” column in the earnings report menu. If your earnings for a particular season are not what you expected, be sure to check how the handicrafts you chose may have affected market supply and demand.
788	786	Mastering the intricacies of isleworks production and trade begins with a close examination of the materials available to you and the strategic implementation of efficiency bonuses. For those islekeeps who feel like they have a firm grasp on the basics, the following tips will help you take your island industry─and earnings─to the next level. ■Popular Items Sell Even Better When Scarce When a handicraft has High or Very High popularity, the inclination may be to produce large quantities of it, as popularity increases selling price. However, simply selling lots of a popular item will result in Overflowing supply for future cycles, which may ultimately undercut potential earnings. By waiting to sell a popular handicraft during cycles in which its supply is Nonexistent, you can optimize your profits while keeping the markets in balance. Demand Shift may prove a helpful indicator of how supply levels will behave in coming cycles. For example, if an Insufficient handicraft is showing a Skyrocketing demand shift, one might reasonably expect it to reach Nonexistent supply by the following cycle. ■Start the Season Short and Efficient Levels of groove increase with the number of efficiency bonuses activated during production. Therefore, securing as many efficiency bonuses as you can at the beginning of a season allows you to benefit from the effects of maximum groove for longer. To quickly activate efficiency bonuses, schedule applicable handicrafts that require relatively short production times. Handicrafts that take longer to produce typically fetch a higher price, so waiting to create these items until groove is high will maximize your earnings without flooding supply. **Strategically utilizing factors such as groove and paying close attention to production time will help increase the value of the handicrafts you sell.**
789	787	Efficiency Bonuses
790	788	The Path to Profits
791	789	With an agenda in hand and a team of eager mammets at your disposal, you are free to make any and all handicrafts your heart desires. However, a very special bonus awaits those who choose their schedules cleverly. **The efficiency bonus will double the production of a given handicraft without requiring additional materials or production time.** Doubling the production of a handicraft means you will have two handicrafts to export, and basic mathematics tells us that two handicrafts will sell for twice as much as one handicraft will. So what are you waiting for? Activate those efficiency bonuses by following the steps below! ■Activating Efficiency Bonuses All handicrafts belong to at least one item category, such as “Concoctions” or “Confections.” **Efficiency bonuses are activated by scheduling the production of similarly categorized items in direct succession.** For example, an isleworks potion and isleworks firesand are both classified as “Concoctions.” By scheduling production of isleworks firesand right after your isleworks potion, you will activate an efficiency bonus that creates two pinches of isleworks firesand with the same time and materials it would normally take to make one! But you don't have to keep track of all your bonuses in that steel-trap mind of yours─the text “Efficiency Bonus!” will appear on the agenda for items that will be produced twice as a result of your clever scheduling.
792	790	But wait! There's more. What if you scheduled an isleworks potion, followed by a pinch of isleworks firesand, followed by *another* isleworks potion? Thanks to efficiency bonuses, what might have been only three handicrafts has now been expanded to five! Think of the profits! Keep in mind both the type and order of handicrafts you add to your agenda, and you will be swimming in an abundance of seafarer's cowries in no time. ■Limitations of the Efficiency Bonus Unfortunately, due to the peculiarities of the mammet's psyche, your tiny workers will not be nearly as excited making the same item twice in a row. While an isleworks potion/isleworks firesand combination will earn you an efficiency bonus, an order of isleworks potion/isleworks potion will get you nothing but some blinking and basic adherence to general protocol. **In other words, only different items belonging to the same category can activate efficiency bonuses.** When aiming for bonuses, be sure you are scheduling different handicrafts. Variety, after all, is the spice of island life.
793	791	Now that you have taken your first steps down the path to profits, you may be curious as to how to increase your earnings even further than what a simple efficiency bonus might afford. When you feel ready to take the plunge into the intricacies of the handicraft trade, access the Guide in your islekeep's index and check the section titled “The Workshop.” But for now, perhaps continue enjoying that refreshing beverage─you've earned it!
794	792	The Palace of the Dead
795	793	Entry
796	794	You may enter the Palace of the Dead solo or in a party of up to four players. When speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary captain, you will be given the option to enter with a fixed party or a matched party via the matching system. To create a fixed party, the party leader must speak with the Wood Wailer expeditionary captain after forming a party of up to four players. Please note that all party members must have at least one unused save slot.
797	795	Progress
798	796	Players must activate the Cairn of Passage that appears on each floor in order to progress. These stones can only be activated when all nearby enemies are defeated. Especially powerful enemies can be found on certain floors. Players can save their progress in the Palace of the Dead upon defeating these enemies. In the event all party members are incapacitated, however, you will be removed from the Palace of the Dead and must resume from your last save point.
799	797	Saving Progress
800	798	Players can save their progress in the Palace of the Dead by defeating the boss enemies that appear on certain floors. After saving one's progress, players can resume their foray into the Palace of the Dead immediately or return at a later time. Players who choose to leave and return later will start on the floor following their last save point.
801	799	Leveling Up
802	800	Players who enter from floor 1 will start at level 1 regardless of their current class or job level. Players who enter from floor 51, however, will start at level 60. While an independent leveling system is in place within the dungeon, experience points that affect current class or job level will be rewarded based on progress.
803	801	Learning Actions
804	802	As you gain levels within the Palace of the Dead, you will also relearn actions and traits for your selected class or job. You will continue to acquire actions and traits as you normally would even should your level in the Palace of the Dead exceed your actual class or job level. Any role actions acquired prior to entering the Palace of the Dead will be available immediately upon entry.
805	803	Precautions
806	804	It is possible to receive a score for your performance in the Palace of the Dead. In order to do so, you must enter with a fixed party. A fixed party is also required to challenge floor 101 and beyond. Please note that should your party KO in the process, your save data will become inaccessible. Abandoning the duty will also count as a party KO.
807	805	Resetting Progress
808	806	Resetting Progress
809	807	It is possible to reset your progression in the Palace of the Dead, allowing you to re-enter the deep dungeon starting from floor 1. Although floor progression and character level will be reset, aetherpool arm and gear strength will remain unchanged. Please note, however, that data cannot be restored once deleted.
810	808	Fixed Parties
811	809	Disbanding Fixed Parties
812	810	It is possible to convert fixed party save data to matched party save data, allowing you to be matched automatically with other players via the matching system. Please note that all special items (pomanders) will be lost upon converting your data. Once saved data from a fixed party is converted, it can only be used when selecting matched party. It cannot be restored to its original state.
813	811	Entry After Disbanding
814	812	Although players can no longer enter as a fixed party after converting their saved data, it is still possible to create preformed parties as long as the party is formed before entering the Palace of the Dead. The progression of all party members must be identical when doing so. Any open party slots will be filled automatically via the matching system. Please note that a matched party cannot be used to challenge floors beyond floor 100.
815	813	Party Progression
816	814	Players who have not progressed to the same floor cannot enter the Palace of the Dead together as a party. Those on earlier floors must use the matching system on their own. Once all players have reached the same floor, they can proceed together until floor 100 by forming a party and choosing to enter as a matched party.
817	815	Aetherpool Gear
818	816	About Aetherpool Gear
819	817	Players must use aetherpool armor and arms in place of normal gear when inside the Palace of the Dead. They will be equipped automatically upon entering, and can then be strengthened as you progress through the dungeon.
820	818	Upgrading Aetherpool Gear
821	819	Aetherpool gear can be enhanced by accessing silver coffers. These coffers are found randomly on each floor and after defeating certain enemies. The maximum strength of aetherpool gear may be restricted depending on your class or job level and current progression in the deep dungeon. This can be confirmed when viewing the Character Info window. Aetherpool gear enhancements will not carry over from one deep dungeon to another.
822	820	Gear Restrictions
823	821	Under certain circumstances, you may be unable to join a matched party due to insufficient gear strength. In such cases, it may be necessary to resume your exploration of the Palace of the Dead from floor 1 to ensure your aetherpool gear is of sufficient strength.
824	822	Pomanders
825	823	Using Pomanders
826	824	Players will, on occasion, obtain pomanders from treasure coffers in the Palace of the Dead. These items can be used by all party members once acquired. They have various effects such as revealing the entirety of a map or increasing the number of treasure coffers on a given floor. Effective use of these items will help ensure the situation is always to your advantage. Pomanders that affect the map cannot be overwritten with the same item when their effect is already in play. Please note, however, that they will still be consumed upon use. Pomanders cannot be taken outside of the deep dungeon. When in a matched party, they will be reset each time you enter the dungeon.
827	825	The Accursed Hoard
828	826	About the Accursed Hoard
829	827	When exploring the Palace of the Dead, players will, on occasion, find pieces of the Accursed Hoard─treasure hidden and buried by the undead. Once found, players must remain stationary at the treasure's location for a fixed period of time to unearth the coffer.
830	828	Finding the Accursed Hoard
831	829	Though it is not difficult to unearth pieces of the Accursed Hoard, their location cannot be discerned with the naked eye alone. Players must make use of a certain pomander in order to sense the presence of hidden pieces of the Accursed Hoard.
832	830	Appraisal
833	831	Pieces of the Accursed Hoard obtained in the Palace of the Dead will be moved to your inventory upon saving your progress and exiting the dungeon. To ascertain the true value of this treasure, you must speak with the expedition bishop at Quarrymill to have it properly appraised.
834	832	Scores
835	833	Individual and Party Scores
836	834	When entering the deep dungeon as a fixed party, you will receive scores based on a number of factors such as highest floor reached and number of enemies slain. You will be assigned separate scores for both individual and team performance. Please note that you cannot earn credit for previous floors when starting from floor 51. Starting from floor 1 will ensure the highest score possible.
837	835	Rankings
838	836	Your highest score from the deep dungeon will be saved and can be viewed at any time by speaking with the Wood Wailer expeditionary captain. Scores that exceed a certain threshold will be made viewable on the rankings page of the Lodestone.
839	837	Heaven–on–High
840	838	Entry
841	839	You may enter Heaven–on–High solo or in a party of up to four players. When speaking with Kyusei, you will be given the option to enter with a fixed party or a matched party via the matching system. To create a fixed party, the party leader must speak with Kyusei after forming a party of up to four players. Please note that all party members must have at least one unused save slot. You must be a Disciple of War or Magic of level 61 or above to participate.
842	840	Leveling Up
843	841	Players who enter from floor 1 will start at level 61 regardless of their current class or job level. Players who enter from floor 21, however, will start at level 70. While an independent leveling system is in place within the dungeon, experience points that affect current class or job level will be rewarded based on progress.

845	843	It is possible to receive a score for your performance in Heaven–on–High. In order to do so, you must enter with a fixed party. A fixed party is also required to challenge floor 31 and beyond. Please note that should your party KO in the process, your save data will become inaccessible. Abandoning the duty will also count as a party KO.
846	844	It is possible to reset your progression in Heaven–on–High, allowing you to re-enter the tower starting from floor 1 or floor 21. Your level will be reset to 61 if resetting to floor 1 and level 70 if resetting to floor 21. Although floor progression and character level will be reset, aetherpool arm and gear strength will remain unchanged. Please note, however, that data cannot be restored once deleted.
847	845	It is possible to convert fixed party save data to matched party save data, allowing you to be matched automatically with other players via the matching system. Please note that all special items (pomanders) will be lost upon converting your data. Once saved data from a fixed party is converted, it can only be used when selecting matched party. It cannot be restored to its original state.
848	846	Although players can no longer enter as a fixed party after converting their saved data, it is still possible to create preformed parties as long as the party is formed before entering Heaven–on–High. The progression of all party members must be identical when doing so. Any open party slots will be filled automatically via the matching system. Please note that a matched party cannot be used to challenge floors beyond floor 30.
849	847	Players who have not progressed to the same floor cannot enter Heaven–on–High together as a party. Those on earlier floors must use the matching system on their own. Once all players have reached the same floor, they can proceed together until floor 30 by forming a party and choosing to enter as a matched party.

The maximum strength of empyrean aetherpool gear may be restricted depending on your class or job level and current progression in the tower. This can be confirmed when viewing the Character Info window. Aetherpool gear enhancements will not carry over from one deep dungeon to another.
855	853	Gear Restrictions
856	854	Under certain circumstances, you may be unable to join a matched party due to insufficient gear strength. In such cases, it may be necessary to resume your exploration of Heaven–on–High from floor 1 to ensure your empyrean aetherpool gear is of sufficient strength.
857	855	Pomanders and Magicite
858	856	Players will, on occasion, obtain pomanders from treasure coffers in Heaven–on–High. These items can be used by all party members once acquired. They have various effects such as revealing the entirety of a map or increasing the number of treasure coffers on a given floor. Effective use of these items will help ensure the situation is always to your advantage. Pomanders that affect the map cannot be overwritten with the same item when their effect is already in play. Please note, however, that they will still be consumed upon use. Pomanders cannot be taken outside of the deep dungeon. When in a matched party, they will be reset each time you enter the dungeon.
859	857	Using Magicite

879	877	Players will, on occasion, obtain protomanders from treasure coffers in Eureka Orthos. These items are similar to the pomanders found in the Palace of the Dead, and can be used by all party members once acquired.

Effective use of these items will help ensure the situation is always to your advantage. Protomanders that affect the map cannot be overwritten with the same item when their effect is already in play. Please note, however, that they will still be consumed upon use.

898	896	**■Trick Floors■** Standing upon a trick floor for too long will trigger a Tatami Twist, launching the unwitting loiterer into the air and inflicting damage. If your Guard is active, it will be depleted by the effort of staying upright.
899	897	**■Trick Door■** Players who approach these false gates will find themselves teleported instantly to another door, far away from the expected trajectory. Trick doors only operate in one direction, so attempting to return the way you came will prove fruitless, and players may discover that passage is denied entirely whilst executing certain actions.
900	898	**■Pneumatic Parades■** When a pneumatic parade begins, the clockwork onmyoji and clockwork yojimbo will join the fray. These puppets travel a predetermined path through the arena and unleash their unique attacks upon arriving in the vicinity of the centerpoint, checkpoints, and goals. While the clockwork yojimbo will obliterate its surroundings with strong physical damage, the clockwork onmyoji quietly seeks unsuspecting players. Those unfortunate enough to meet its gaze will be greatly shrunk in size and suffer the following effects: 　・Decreased damage dealt and movement speed 　・Increased damage taken

There is a limit to the number of furnishing items allowed on your island at once. This number will increase as island development progresses. Glamours may be placed in areas designated for furnishing. However, some existing furnishing items are not compatible with glamours and therefore cannot be placed anywhere on your island. **You do not need prisms to place furnishing glamours, and furnishing items will remain in your inventory even after you have placed them as glamours. However, please note that placing a glamour will bind the furnishing item to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players.** ■Registering Glamours **Island prisms may be used to register furnishing glamours.** Registered glamours may be placed as many times as desired via the Registered Glamours list, which can be toggled to from the Furnishing Glamours window. **You may register up to 120 furnishing glamours.** You can register a furnishing glamour in the following ways: ①Via the subcommand of the item while managing island furnishings ②Via the subcommand of the glamour in your Placed Glamours list ③Via the prompt when placing a glamour ④Via the prompt when removing a glamour ■Coloring Glamours Furnishing glamours may be painted by selecting “Manage Furnishings” from the islekeep's index, followed by “Color Furnishing Glamours.” As with regular furnishings, dye is required to change the color of furnishing glamours.

1054	1052	A variety of different features exist to help you find the perfect look for your character. This guide explains how each of these customization options function.
1055	1053	Glamours are a means of projecting the appearance of one piece of equipment onto another. This is a reversible effect which can be redone any number of times. Casting glamours requires catalysts known as **glamour prisms**, with one prism being consumed per cast.
1056	1054	To cast a glamour, select **Character** in the main menu and open the **Actions & Traits** window, then select the Cast Glamour action under the **General** tab. You can also use this action from the subcommand menu of the item you wish to glamour. From the Cast Glamour window, choose the base item, then select the glamour you wish to cast from the list of available items.
1057	1055	The presence of a glamour is indicated by a symbol in the upper right corner of the item icon.
1058	1056	Additionally, the item help window will display the name of the original item followed by the name of the glamoured item in alternating sequence.
1059	1057	Glamour prisms can be purchased from the market board, obtained from Grand Company quartermasters, or crafted using recipes learned from glamour prism recipe tomes. Glamour prism recipe tomes can be purchased from Goberin in western Thanalan (X:12.1 Y:15.0) or Tataroga in Mor Dhona (X:22.1 Y:6.7) after completing the quest **“Absolutely Glamourous”** in western Thanalan (X:12.6 Y:14.3).
1060	1058	Restoring a glamoured item to its original appearance requires the use of **glamour dispellers**, which are available for purchase from the market boards or certain vendors. From the Cast Glamour window, select the glamoured item on the left, then select Remove on the right. This action will consume a glamour dispeller. **※Dyes and company crests are also removed in the process.**
1061	1059	You will not be able to cast a glamour if: **1. The base item is of a different type than that of the glamour to be cast.** Example: A gladiator's arm cannot be glamoured onto an arcanist's grimoire. ※Unaffected by item level (IL). **2. The base item's race or gender requirement is not compatible with that of the glamour cast.** Example: Elezen-specific gear cannot be glamoured onto Hyur-specific gear.
1062	1060	Some glamours will only display as long as the character's race, gender, and Grand Company meet the requirements. Example: If a race-specific glamour is applied, the effect will not be displayed.
1063	1061	Gear can be rendered invisible when glamoured with emperor's new items of the same gear category. These invisible items can be purchased from Goberin in western Thanalan (X:12.1 Y:15.0) or Tataroga in Mor Dhona (X:22.1 Y:6.7) after completing the quest **“Absolutely Glamourous”** in western Thanalan (X:12.6 Y:14.3).
1064	1062	While visiting an inn room, items stored in the armoire and glamour dresser can be glamoured onto gear without needing to withdraw them. This action will not consume a glamour prism.
1065	1063	While your retainer is summoned, select **Cast Glamours** from the retainer menu to apply glamours to their equipment or any other gear in their possession. You may also use their gear to apply glamours to your own.
1066	1064	You can also cast glamours onto your adventurer squadron members, provided they are at least level 51. Select the Outfit icon, then select **Apply Glamours**. You may use the items stored in your armoire and glamour dresser as well as your inventory.
1067	1065	Glamour dressers are available in inn rooms and Grand Company barracks, and can be used to store equipment as glamours, up to the dresser's maximum capacity. **※Some relic weapons cannot be stored.** The initial deposit consumes one **glamour prism** per item, but stored gear can be projected onto your equipment as many times as you like at no cost. If you wish to equip a stored item directly, you may retrieve it from the glamour dresser to restore it to its original form.
1068	1066	To determine whether a given item can be stored in the glamour dresser, navigate to the item help window. If the glamour dresser icon in the upper right corner is lit up, the item can be stored. ※A “+” mark indicates the item can be used as part of an outfit glamour.
1069	1067	Open the glamour dresser to access the **Glamour Creation** window, browse different gear categories, and select an item from your inventory or Armoury Chest. Gear with condition below 100% cannot be stored. Placing an item into the glamour dresser will reset its spiritbond to 0%, as well as remove customization including glamours, dyes associated with existing glamours, crests, signatures, materia, and most aetherial bonuses. The item will also be bound to you upon removal. ※Each item stored will cost one glamour prism. ※Dyes applied to the item will not be reset.
1070	1068	Once an item has been stored in the glamour dresser, select **Apply Glamour** from the subcommand menu to glamour your current equipment without spending a glamour prism. Alternatively, select **Edit Glamour Plates** to bring up the Glamour Plate Creation window, where you can create full sets of glamoured attire that can be applied to your character all at once, using items stored in either the glamour dresser or the armoire.
1071	1069	Created using the glamour dressers found inside inn rooms, **glamour plates** are a means of projecting an entire ensemble onto your gear. Glamours stored inside a glamour dresser or equipment stored inside an **armoire** can be projected onto your gear, allowing you to concoct a unique look for your character. Ensembles saved to a glamour plate can be projected over and over again without consuming glamour prisms.
1072	1070	Select **Edit Glamour Plates** from the glamour dresser window and choose the plate you wish to edit. You can now select a category (head, body, etc.) followed by a glamour stored in the dresser or an item stored in the armoire. Stored items and glamours are not removed after being added to a plate. One you are satisfied with your glamour plate, select the **Save** button. Items added to glamour plates can also be dyed. This only affects the selected plate─the stored item will retain its original color. Should you wish to remove an item from a plate, select **Remove Item Image from Plate**. ※It is not necessary to add items to every category. Depending on the style you are trying to achieve, you can simply create a partially filled plate.
1073	1071	Select the **Apply** button to project the saved ensemble onto your equipped gear. This process does not consume glamour prisms. ※In the event a glamour plate cannot be fully applied, an “X” symbol will be displayed in the corresponding category icons.
1074	1072	Glamour plates can be accessed and used at any time in cities, residential areas, and sanctuaries. Simply select the **Glamour Plate** button above the character window to view and select a glamour. The window can also be accessed via the General section of the Actions & Traits menu.
1075	1073	You can change the outward appearance of gear sets by linking them to glamour plates. Select the **Link to Glamour Plate** subcommand from the gear set list to automatically apply the linked glamour plate when switching to the corresponding gear set. **※This feature does not function in instanced areas or outside of large settlements.**
1076	1074	Select the **Dispel Glamour** button in the upper right corner of the Plate Selection window to remove glamours from selected categories. This process consumes **glamour dispellers**.
1077	1075	Available in inn rooms or placed as furnishings in player estates, armoires are used to store **artifact armor**, **seasonal event costumes**, **achievement rewards**, **bonus items**, and other specific gear.
1078	1076	To determine whether a given item can be stored in the armoire, navigate to the item help window. If the armoire icon in the upper right corner is lit up, the item can be stored.
1079	1077	Gear with condition below 100% cannot be stored.
1080	1078	Placing an item into the armoire will reset its spiritbond to 0%, as well as remove all customization. However, you may store and withdraw items at no cost.
1081	1079	Once an item has been stored in the armoire, select **Apply Glamour** from the subcommand menu to glamour your current equipment without spending a glamour prism. Alternatively, items in the armoire can be added to **glamour plates** without needing to store them in the glamour dresser. Note that any dyes applied to the item will be reset. To preserve existing dyes or add new ones before applying glamours, it is recommended to store the item in the glamour dresser instead.
1082	1080	**Crests** are sigils representing different free companies that can be applied to applicable gear. To apply a crest to your gear, speak with an **OIC officer of arms** belonging to the Grand Company your free company is associated with. Crests can be removed at any time. An illuminated crest icon in the top right corner of the item help window indicates that the corresponding piece of gear can have a crest applied to it.
1083	1081	Crest design consists of three basic elements: ・The main emblem, or **Charge** ・The basic shape, or **Escutcheon** ・The basic pattern, or **Ordinary** Use the **Crest Customization** feature to devise a crest your free company can be proud of.
1084	1082	To design and apply a crest, you must first have risen to a sufficient rank within your free company. ・**Crest Customization** (Rank 2) gives you the authorization to edit crest designs. ・**Gear Customization** (Rank 4) gives you the authorization to apply crests to personal gear. ・**Crest Expansion** (Rank 7) unlocks a range of new crest designs.
1085	1083	Facewear refers to a range of facial accessories that can add extra flourish to an ensemble. Unlike standard gear, facewear is purely decorative. Facewear is acquired by using the corresponding item. Once acquired, facewear can be worn or removed at any time. To do so, simply select Facewear via the Character tab in the Actions & Traits menu, or click the Facewear icon to the bottom left of the character window. This will display an overview of your registered items.
1086	1084	Select an item of facewear to wear in the **Style** section, and customize it by choosing a **Color**.
1087	1085	You can change the color of gear and furnishing items through the use of **dyes**. As well as single-color varieties, there are also multicolor dyes that provide a choice from a range of hues. With either variety, one pot of dye is consumed for each distinct section of an item. ※Some items allow for two dye slots. Dyed items can be redyed and undyed any number of times.
1088	1086	Dyeable items have circular symbols in the upper right corner of their icons.
1089	1087	If the circle is empty, as shown on the left, no dye has been applied. If the circle is filled in, as shown in the center, the item has been dyed with the corresponding color. If there are no circles, as shown on the right, the item cannot be dyed.
1090	1088	If an item has two dye slots, it will display two circles.
1091	1089	When it comes to dyes, there are single-color varieties, as well as multicolor dyes that provide a choice from a range of hues. With either variety, one pot of dye is consumed for each distinct section of an item. If you wish to apply the same color to both sections or multiple items, you will need to ensure you have enough dye for each. Both dyes and terebinth are available from vendors and the market boards, and can also be crafted by Disciples of the Hand from level 30 onwards.
1092	1090	To use a dye, select **Character** in the main menu and open the **Actions & Traits** window, then select the Dye action under the **General** tab. You can also use this action from the subcommand menu of the item you wish to dye. From the Item Dyeing window, select the desired item from the list, then select the section you wish to dye.
1093	1091	※For items with a single dye slot, **Dye 1** will be the only option.
1094	1092	Once you have selected a section, choose your desired color.
1095	1093	Use the colored circles near the top to switch between color categories, then choose your desired hue from the colored squares beneath. Any colors for which you do not possess the required dye will be marked with an “X” icon. You may also use the subcommand menu to set **favored dyes**, enabling you to apply your preferred color scheme to multiple items with ease. Confirm your chosen color settings in the preview pane, then select **Dye** to begin the process.
1096	1094	Should you wish to restore your gear to its original hue, a pot of **terebinth** removes the dye from a single section of an item. To use terebinth, select the leftmost square located under the leftmost color category.
1097	1095	Once terebinth has been set to the section you wish to undye, select **Dye** to begin the dye removal process.
1098	1096	Some items cannot be dyed until you have fulfilled specific conditions, indicated by the lock symbol in the upper right corner.
1099	1097	The requirements for these items can be reviewed at any time from the **Item Dyeing** window. Once met, the lock icon will change to a circle.
1100	1098	While your retainer is summoned, select **Dye Items** from the retainer menu to apply dyes to their equipment or any other gear in their possession. ※For these items, your retainer will appear in the dye preview.
1101	1099	Eyewear Accessories
1102	1100	・**False Spectacles** ・**False Shaded Spectacles** ・**False Classic Spectacles** ・**Rose-colored Spectacles** The items listed above were formerly Fashion Accessories, but are now classified as Facewear. Speak to a Calamity salvager to transfer these items from your acquired Fashion Accessories to your Facewear collection. Calamity salvagers can be found in the following locations: ・Limsa Lominsa, Upper Decks ・Ul'dah, Steps of Thal ・Old Gridania
1103	1101	Basics of Combat
1104	1102	Attack Markers
1105	1103	Some enemy attacks will show an indication of where they will strike in the form of a marker. In most cases, you can avoid taking damage by moving outside of the highlighted area before it lands.
1106	1104	These markers take many forms.
1107	1105	Enmity
1108	1106	Enmity is the priority system by which an enemy chooses a target. All players entered into combat with the enemy generate enmity through dealing damage or healing allies. There are two ways to check your current enmity level: ①The Enmity List The enmity list shows all enemies with whom you have generated enmity. The icon on the left indicates your current enmity level. The four levels are displayed below in order of greatest to least.
1109	1107	②The Party List The party list shows each party member's enmity level with the currently selected enemy, as indicated in the lower left corner of the class/job icon. The player with the greatest enmity is marked with A, followed by 2, 3, and so on. The adjacent gauge shows the relative difference in enmity compared to the player with the most.
1110	1108	During party combat, if you find that the enemies are swarming you instead of the tank, you may wish to withhold your attacks until the tank has regained enmity. ■ Tank Stance Each tank job has a special action that helps to keep their enmity level high.
1111	1109	With tank stance active, attacks dealt to enemies will generate significantly higher enmity, controlling the focus of enemy attacks and thereby helping to keep allies safe. This is a key aspect of playing as a tank in party combat.
1112	1110	Enhancements and Enfeeblements
1113	1111	An enhancement is a status effect that strengthens the player, whereas an enfeeblement is one that weakens the player. The icons for enhancements and enfeeblements you receive will appear in the Status Effects element of your HUD layout.
1114	1112	Enhancements have icons shaped like upward arrows, whereas enfeeblements are shaped like downward arrows. A white line across the top of the icon indicates that the enfeeblement can be removed with certain healing actions such as Esuna.
1115	1113	Types of Markers
1116	1114	Targeting Markers
1117	1115	This marker indicates that you have been targeted with some manner of attack.
1118	1116	The specifics of the ensuing attack will vary depending on the enemy and/or duty, but in all cases, it will involve you in some way.
1119	1117	Area of Effect Markers
1120	1118	This marker indicates that you have been targeted with an area of effect attack. Targeted players should move away from their allies, and vice versa.
1121	1119	Stack Markers
1122	1120	This marker indicates that a powerful area of effect attack is imminent. As a stack marker is all but impossible to survive alone, it is imperative that the targeted player stand with as many allies as possible to divide the damage evenly. Note that there are two different types of stack marker: ■ Circle Stack
1123	1121	■ Line Stack
1124	1122	Lethal Attack Markers
1125	1123	This marker warns of an incredibly powerful attack. Typically, it targets the player with the most enmity, and because it deals tremendous damage, most non-tank jobs are unlikely to survive it. Should you be targeted, your defensive abilities can help keep you safe. For example, tanks can use Rampart to lower damage sustained as well as Reprisal to lower enemy damage output. For all other roles, check the Actions & Traits menu to see which defensive abilities your job can learn. Note that there are a few different markers, each with different areas of effect:
1126	1124	■ Solo Marker Depending on the enemy, these may inflict an area of effect attack.
1127	1125	■ Area of Effect Marker
1128	1126	■ Line / Cleave Marker These attacks will strike the entire area behind the target.
1129	1127	■ Stack Marker The spheres orbiting the center indicate how many players are needed to withstand the attack.
1130	1128	Homing Area of Effect Markers
1131	1129	This marker indicates that you will be chased by a series of area of effect attacks targeting your current location. Because these attacks will strike rapidly and repeatedly, the best course of action is to stay on the move, away from your allies.
1132	1130	Knockback Markers
1133	1131	This marker indicates that a knockback attack is imminent. When it strikes, you will be pushed a set distance away from the point of impact based on your relative location. Keep this in mind and either position yourself accordingly or use an action that nullifies knockback effects.
1134	1132	Note that there are different types of knockback: ■ Radial Knockback Players will be pushed outwards from the point of impact. If the marker is purple, like this one, it cannot be nullified by job actions.
1135	1133	■ Directional Knockback Players will be pushed in a single set direction.
1136	1134	Area of Effect Knockback Markers
1137	1135	This area of effect marker has an accompanying knockback effect. When it strikes, you will be pushed a set distance away from the point of impact based on your relative location. You will take damage if you stand inside its bounds, so you should position yourself along its outer edges.
1138	1136	If the marker is purple, like this one, it cannot be nullified by job actions.
1139	1137	Flare Markers
1140	1138	This marker indicates that a proximity-based area of effect attack is imminent. The closer you stand to its point of impact, the more damage you will take, so retreat as far as you can.
1141	1139	Sometimes these proximity attacks will target a specific player. To minimize damage, the target should move away from the rest of their party, and vice versa.
1142	1140	Tower Markers
1143	1141	This marker indicates that a tower attack is imminent. If left unoccupied by at least one player, the entire party will take significant damage.
1144	1142	Note that there are different tower markers with different effects: ■ Tank Tower This type of tower hits especially hard. Only a tank should occupy it.
1145	1143	■ Multi-player Towers Some towers require a specific number of players to fully absorb the attack. This number will be indicated by the marker. Displayed below are two examples of two-player towers.
1146	1144	Proximity Tether Markers
1147	1145	This spiky marker indicates that you have been tethered to a hostile force. Remain in close proximity and you will receive some manner of negative effect, be it damage or an enfeeblement. Fortunately, this type of tether can be negated by moving away until the spikes disappear, like so:
1148	1146	Another type of proximity tether, also known as a chain, will continuously damage both players to whom it is connected so long as they remain in close proximity of one another. Affected players can break this tether by moving away from each other.
1149	1147	Interceptible Tether Markers
1150	1148	This marker indicates that an attack will strike the current target. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary for a player to intercept it by physically blocking it from its target.
1151	1149	Gaze Markers
1152	1150	This marker indicates that a gaze attack is imminent. Any player facing the enemy when this attack strikes will receive some manner of negative effect. Alternatively, sometimes the gaze marker will originate from a player instead. In both cases, it can be negated by facing away from its source before the attack strikes.
1153	1151	Other Markers
1154	1152	Here you will find descriptions of other attack markers encountered in combat. ■ Number Markers These markers indicate the order in which players will be attacked, starting with the player whose marker has the fewest orbs.
1155	1153	■ Multi-player Markers This marker indicates the number of players who must stand together to survive the attack, as shown by the number of orbs.
1156	1154	■ Countdown Markers These markers count down to an imminent attack, and if you are caught doing a forbidden action when it reaches zero, you will be penalized with damage or an enfeeblement. All countdown markers serve the same function regardless of enemy or duty, and over time you will learn the forbidden actions typically associated with each one.
1157	1155	Playing with Character Voices
1158	1156	About Mahjong Character Voices
1159	1157	By enabling **Mahjong Character Voices**, one of several characters you've encountered on your adventures can be selected to cheer you on during your matches of mahjong. When in a position to call certain hands, or when match points are tallied, character portraits will display with accompanying voiced lines over the course of the match. ※Characters selected by other players will not be shown.
1160	1158	Character Voice Settings
1161	1159	Character voices can be enabled after acquiring special items purchased from **** in Wonder Square. ※Players must first complete the main scenario quest “.” Once purchased, you can open the Gold Saucer menu and navigate to the Mahjong tab. Then, under Mahjong Character Voices, you can select your desired character to be used during matches. You may also select what attire will be used in the selected character's portrait, unlocking additional outfits as you progress through the main scenario.
1162	1160	What Are Outfit Glamours?
1163	1161	Creating Outfit Glamours
1164	1162	Outfit Glamour-ready Gear
1165	1163	Items Comprising an Outfit Glamour
1166	1164	**Outfit glamours** are a means of projecting the appearance of specific item combinations onto an outfit that can be stored in the glamour dresser. Outfits stored in this manner only take up a single glamour slot. As with standard glamours, outfit glamours can be projected onto your gear or added to glamour plates. To create an outfit glamour, you must possess the corresponding combination of items of identical quality, and an equivalent number of glamour prisms.
1167	1165	When opening the glamour dresser, outfit glamour-ready items are identified by the button displayed in the Glamour Creation window.
1168	1166	Selecting this button will open the Outfit Glamour Creation window. Here you can select items from your Inventory and Armoury Chest to include in the outfit glamour. Gear with condition below 100% cannot be used to form an outfit glamour. **Unlike standard glamours, the color of dyed gear is not transferred to an outfit glamour.** ※Outfit glamours can still be dyed after being projected onto gear or added to a glamour plate. When creating an outfit glamour, several items are combined as an ensemble and saved to the glamour dresser.
1169	1167	You can check which items can be combined to form an outfit glamour by selecting the “View Outfit Glamour-ready Items” subcommand of an outfit glamour-ready item.
1170	1168	Item combinations saved as outfit glamours can be viewed under the Outfits tab of the glamour dresser.
1171	1169	In addition to viewing currently saved outfits under this tab, you can also inspect the individual items that form an outfit by selecting the “Inspect Outfit” subcommand. This subcommand is also accessible via each individual item.
1172	1170	Cast Bars
1173	1171	Some enemy attacks take time to cast before they strike. A progress bar will appear beside the name of the caster, and once this bar fills completely, the attack will be unleashed.
1174	1172	Note that attacks with no cast time will not display a cast bar.
1175	1173	Sightseeing Log
1176	1174	Overview
1177	1175	Vista Markers
1178	1176	The **sightseeing log** is a comprehensive record of breathtaking landscapes and stunning vistas you have discovered across Eorzea. Each category in the log contains hints on vista locations as well as their conditions, such as weather, time of day, and the emote you must perform. Fulfilling the conditions completes an entry, and a rough sketch and information on the location's history will be added to your log. Once a vista has been recorded, it is possible to bring up its location on the map via the subcommand menu.
1179	1177	Vistas found in Heavensward areas and onwards are identifiable by an orb of light, and reaching one and fulfilling the conditions completes the entry.
1180	1178	Should you chance to spot an orb on your travels, why not take a moment to record the vista?

1214	1232	On the Occult Crescent, players must explore widely and overcome deadly threats, all in aid of unraveling the isle's mysteries.
1215	1233	■Basic Rules Players can enter the Occult Crescent solo, in a party, or in an alliance of between nine and 48 players. It is possible to form a party even after entering the instance. ■Requirements A **Disciple of War or Magic level 100 or higher** is required to enter, and the **required average item level is 690**. ■Restrictions Once inside, you are free to change to any Disciple of War or Magic that meets the requirements to enter. However, you cannot change jobs in certain circumstances, including while participating in a critical encounter. All expeditions on the Occult Crescent are level synced, with **character levels adjusted to 100, and all equipment adjusted to item level 700**.
1216	1234	Progress during the expedition is represented by your **knowledge level**, with all players starting at level 1. Discrepancies between your knowledge level and that of your enemies can greatly impact the outcome of a battle. Caution is advised when engaging a foe with a knowledge level greater than your own.
1217	1235	Players can accumulate **knowledge**─akin to experience points─by defeating enemies and completing quests on the Occult Crescent. Slaying foes with a knowledge level higher than your own will garner more knowledge. Players may choose to form parties and take on such adversaries to reap the increased knowledge reward. Knowledge can also be earned by participating in critical encounters and FATEs across the island. Your knowledge level and accrued knowledge will be retained between excursions─progress will not be lost when you depart the Occult Crescent.
1218	1236	Falling in battle while out on an excursion will incur a penalty. **If you are incapacitated and return to base camp without being revived, you will lose a portion of your knowledge.** The amount of knowledge lost is dependent on your knowledge level. Players who leave the instance while incapacitated will also receive the aforementioned penalty. Furthermore, **if your knowledge level is above 5, incurring the penalty can decrease your knowledge level** if your knowledge falls below zero as a result.
1219	1237	While exploring the Occult Crescent, players can utilize additional, supplemental jobs known as **phantom jobs**. Selecting a phantom job bestows a **beneficial status and grants access to an array of phantom actions**. Although only one phantom job may be selected, under most circumstances you are free to make a different selection at any time. Leveraging various phantom jobs as the need arises may be the difference between victory and defeat out in the field.
1220	1238	Utilizing a phantom job to defeat your adversaries will garner **phantom EXP**. Earning sufficient phantom EXP will increase the level of your selected phantom job, granting access to a variety of **offensive, restorative, and supplemental phantom actions**.
1221	1239	Upon acquisition, phantom actions are registered to the phantom action panel, which displays within Occult Crescent zones **in place of the duty action HUD.**
1222	1240	Phantom actions can be executed and toggled using the following methods: ■Keyboard and Mouse By clicking phantom action icons displayed on the HUD. ■ By pressing with the cross hotbar active. ＋: Select Phantom Action ＋: Execute Phantom Action ■Registering Duty Actions to the Hotbar / Cross Hotbar If you register Duty Actions I and II found under the Duties tab in Actions & Traits to your hotbar or cross hotbar, these icons will automatically switch to Execute Phantom Action and Toggle Phantom Action, respectively, while on the Occult Crescent. ■Registering Phantom Actions to the Hotbar / Cross Hotbar If you register Phantom Actions I-V found under the Duties tab in Actions & Traits to your hotbar or cross hotbar, these icons will automatically switch to their respective phantom actions while on the Occult Crescent.
1223	1241	Leveling your phantom jobs can provide access to job-specific **phantom traits** which in turn boost the effectiveness of your phantom actions or grant special techniques.
1224	1242	The roster of phantom jobs available to you is expanded by learning ancient martial and arcane techniques contained within **soul shards.** Soul shards are obtained from vendors, certain critical encounters, and more. Explore the Occult Crescent to find them!
1225	1243	The first phantom job available to you is that of the freelancer, **a basic job suited to exploration.** Freelancers do not gain experience through traditional means. **Instead, it levels up with every additional phantom job you master.**
1226	1244	On the Occult Crescent, a party is considered balanced **so long as all members are within three knowledge levels of one another.**
1227	1245	Enemies defeated by a balanced party will award **10% more phantom experience.** Additionally, because your knowledge level is adjusted to the average level of all party members, everyone is able to take part in combat on even footing─an appealing advantage compared to exploring alone!
1228	1246	If your party is not balanced, each member will enter combat at their current knowledge level, resulting in a strength discrepancy. To avoid this, **the party leader may choose to toggle knowledge level sync on or off.** When enabled, this setting adjusts the knowledge level of all members three or more levels higher than the member whose knowledge level is lowest, **automatically creating a balanced party.**
1229	1247	Under certain conditions, defeating enemies on the Occult Crescent will result in **EXP chains.** Generally, it occurs upon defeating **an enemy whose knowledge level exceeds your own,** but the exact threshold will change depending on party size. Solo: 2 levels higher 2 players: 3 levels higher 3 or 4 players: 4 or 5 levels higher 5 or 6 players: 6 or 7 levels higher 7 or 8 players: 7 or 8 levels higher
1230	1248	The more high-level enemies defeated within a set time period, the larger the chain will grow; **the bigger the level difference, the faster the growth rate.** Form a party with your comrades and reap greater rewards!
1231	1249	Critical encounters are large-scale battles wherein up to 72 players band together to take on powerful opponents. Prove yourself victorious and you'll gain considerable knowledge, among other rewards. Unlike enemies in the wild, foes fought in critical encounters are **unaffected by knowledge level,** so all players who join the fray will do so on even ground. Even better, a uniquely powerful enhancing effect will be applied to those who win the battle under set conditions!
1232	1250	To take part in a critical encounter, **you need only reach its location on the map.** This may necessitate travel through areas infested with dangerous enemies, so have care.
1233	1251	The Forked Towers are the greatest challenge to be found on the Occult Crescent. Make full use of your phantom jobs and work together with up to 48 total players to overcome powerful foes and tricky battle mechanics!
1234	1252	Only those with a **knowledge level of 20 or greater** may enter the Forked Tower: Blood. To do so, an aetherial node must be powered through the coordinated use of **sanguine ciphers** purchased from the expedition antiquarian at the base camp.
1235	1253	**A minimum of 24 players must offer sanguine ciphers within a set time frame.** Those selected to enter will receive the Right of Entry: The Forked Tower status effect, granting them clearance to enter the Forked Tower: Blood. A short time after the node is activated, a maximum of 48 players standing upon it will be teleported inside. Should more than 48 players board the node, players who invested a greater number of ciphers will have a higher chance of being selected for entry.
1236	1254	On the Occult Crescent, there are two forms of currency: Enlightenment silver pieces and Enlightenment gold pieces.
1237	1255	■Enlightenment Silver Pieces Primarily acquired from critical encounters and FATEs. ■Enlightenment Gold Pieces Primarily acquired from defeating enemies in the wild. **Both can be traded to the expedition antiquarian at the base camp for a variety of items.**
1238	1256	Knowledge crystals are ancient artifacts erected around the Occult Crescent.
1239	1257	These crystals **resonate with certain phantom actions and apply a variety of effects to you and your party members.** Use them to your advantage!
1240	1258	The Occult Crescent is teeming with treasure for the taking.
1241	1259	These chests are only visible to you, so if you catch sight of one while exploring, don't hesitate to open it!
1242	1260
1243	1261	Certain shops sell equipment imbued with special enhancements that only take effect when worn within Occult Crescent areas. Notably, **enhancements to special attribute will increase damage dealt by phantom actions.** You may also trade items to the expedition armorer at the base camp in exchange for gear upgrades.
1244	1262
1245	1263	Weaponry Displacement System
1246	1264	As the battle progresses, the weaponry displacement system will come into effect. While activated, three types of neutral weaponry may be deployed around the Heliodrome: 　1. Interceptor Drones 　2. Interceptor Command Systems 　3. Interceptor Nodes
1247	1265	Interceptor Drones
1248	1266	Interceptor drones are small enemies that engage surrounding players with automatic cannons before self-detonating after an allotted time has passed. Defeating them will distribute tactical points proportional to damage contribution and raise the rating of the party that contributed the most. When interceptor drones are deployed, a golden interceptor drone α may appear. Defeating these rare enemies will result in greater rewards than regular interceptor drones. Both types of enemies will keep respawning as long as the weaponry displacement system is in effect.
1249	1267	Interceptor Command Systems
1250	1268	Interceptor command systems are medium-sized enemies that cannot be targeted and attack continuously after deployment. By swiftly absorbing attacks according to its indicators, players can reduce damage taken, earn tactical points, and increase rating.
1251	1269	Interceptor Nodes
1252	1270	Interceptor nodes are large enemies that indiscriminately target surrounding players with a variety of attacks. 　・Ground Interference: 　　A large area-of-effect attack. 　・Heavy Interference: 　　A stack marker attack. 　・Targeted Interference: 　　A honing attack. Every time this enemy's HP is reduced to zero, it will gain one point. When it has accrued five points, it will begin to flash, indicating that it may be defeated. Teams will accrue tactical points according to damage contribution each time the interceptor node's HP is reduced to zero.
1253	1271	Personnel Displacement Panels
1254	1272	Personnel displacement panels are one-way teleporters installed throughout the field for personal use. They may be active or inactive depending on the state of battle. 　・Active: 　　Thirty seconds before the weaponry displacement system activates. 　・Inactive: 　　When the weaponry displacement system deactivates and at the 　　start of battle.

1303	1321	Cosmic Exploration is **an initiative wherein Disciples of the Hand and Land join forces to achieve interstellar travel.**
1304	1322	■The Basics For this project to achieve liftoff, Searchingway has need of your artisanal skills. Objectives can be completed solo or in groups. As the initiative progresses, your surrounds will be expanded with new facilities and areas to explore. **Work together with the denizens of your Home World and watch your efforts pay off in real time!**
1305	1323	To ensure the success of the Cosmic Exploration Initiative, contributors are asked to undertake a variety of different activities. **■Stellar Missions** Stellar missions enlist Disciples of the Hand and Land to leverage their specialist skills and provide materials and crafted items to help further the initiative. You can confirm rewards and requirements of currently available missions via the Stellar Missions section of the exotablet.
1306	1324	**■Mech Ops & Red Alerts** Mech op directives and red alerts are issued without warning to contributors in the field. The former sees participants pilot mechanized walkers known as vacuum suits to undertake a variety of missions. Due to the technical nature of this work, these missions offer special rewards unobtainable through other activities.
1307	1325	Stellar missions are **requests issued to Disciples of the Hand and Land for the purpose of furthering the initiative.**
1308	1326	■Accepting Missions Select Stellar Missions from the exotablet to view a list of available missions.
1309	1327	Select a mission from the list to view its location, rewards, and other details.
1310	1328	When you're ready to begin, select the Initiate button to undertake the mission. **You may only accept one at a time.**
1311	1329	■Duty List Appears whenever a stellar mission is active. Heed the instructions to fulfill the request!
1312	1330	■Mission in Progress During an active mission, select Stellar Missions on the exotablet to open the Mission in Progress window. Here, you may review all the relevant details of your mission.
1313	1331	■Mission Complete Once you have achieved your objective, you may select the Report button from the Mission in Progress window to complete the mission and receive your rewards. ※For a higher payout, achieve a silver or gold star rating before reporting.
1314	1332	The Mission in Progress window displays details and commands relevant to your ongoing stellar mission.
1315	1333	■Cosmic Crafting Log Exclusive to cosmic exploration, this crafting log contains recipes specific to Disciple of the Hand stellar missions. Choose a recipe, then select the Synthesize button to begin cosmic crafting in much the same fashion as ordinary crafting.
1316	1334	■Stellar Reduction A type of aetherial reduction performed upon materials acquired through Disciple of the Land stellar missions. ■Abandon Select the Abandon button to forfeit an incomplete mission. ■Ratings Upon completing a mission, you will be awarded a bronze, silver, or gold star rating according to the level of your success. This, in turn, affects the mission's reward payout as follows: Bronze: No Bonus Silver: 4x Bonus Gold: 5x Bonus Furthermore, you will gain a fixed amount of experience regardless of tier. Any mission completed with a bronze or silver star rating will henceforth have a checkmark beside its name in the mission selection list, whereas missions completed with a gold star rating will have a special symbol instead.
1317	1335	The cosmopouch is **a separate inventory reserved exclusively for cosmic exploration.**
1318	1336	Mech ops are **special missions that occur at random intervals, utilizing powerful vacuum suits to help carry them out to completion.**
1319	1337	■Mech Op Directives When mech op directives are issued, an announcement will be made to all players in the exploration zone.
1320	1338	■Participation Players may take part as either pilots or ground support, each role having different requirements for participation.
1321	1339	Pilots are charged with **operating powerful mechs called vacuum suits in order to carry out these missions.** Each time a mech op order is issued, pilots will be selected at random from those who apply.
1322	1340	■Pilot Applications To be selected as a pilot, players will be asked to submit a pilot application. These can be obtained from Alerot in exchange for the designated stellar credits.
1323	1341	Those who possess an application will then be allowed to submit.
1324	1342	After the application period has concluded, those selected to be pilots will receive a notification. A final verification prompt will then be displayed, after which pilots will board their vehicles and be transported to the mission site. Please be advised that **any active stellar missions will be canceled.** ■Processed Applications Applications are only processed and taken from players who are selected to be pilots. Please note that, once taken, they will not be returned should you later decide to forfeit your position as pilot.
1325	1343	Ground supporters are **another important role in the completion of mech ops, whereby players participate without the use of vacuum suits.**
1326	1344	■Participation To join mech ops as a ground supporter, players must proceed directly to the mission site and select “Join Event.” ■Reaching the Mission Site When a mech ops directive has been issued, players may speak with Alerot to be transported immediately to the mission site.
1327	1345	By assisting in the Cosmic Exploration Initiative, player contributions are recorded and tallied over regular intervals. These accumulated scores are used to rank players in the Starward Standings. Players with the highest score at the end of any given ranking period are designated **Star Contributor**. Ranking periods will last twenty-four hours (Earth time), from 6 p.m. (Earth time) to 6 p.m. (Earth time) the following day. Once the Star Contributors have been selected, a twenty-four hour interim will follow before the next ranking period begins. **※In the event of server maintenance during a ranking period, players with the highest score in the available time before or after maintenance will be designated Star Contributor.** Player scores can be increased by undertaking stellar missions, or participating in mech ops and cosmic exploration projects. After completion of the aforementioned activities, a system message will display in the log window noting the size of your contribution. To learn more about these tallying periods or your present score, **speak with Scanningway at the current exploration area's base camp.** Please note that **Starward Standings will only be recorded in the current exploration area**. Players selected as Star Contributor will receive special accolades that last for fourteen days (Earth time) from the time they are chosen. While Star Contributors cannot be selected again during this fourteen day period, should they have the highest score on the fourteenth day, they can maintain their status as Star Contributor without interruption.
1328	1346	Players selected as Star Contributor will glow with a special aura while in cosmic exploration zones.
1329	1347	This aura will only appear when playing as a **Disciple of the Hand or Land**. Players may disable the aura by manually turning off the status effect “Astral Aura.” However, it will reset after leaving and re-entering the cosmic exploration zone.
1330	1348	Current Star Contributors can be confirmed at any time via the **Starward Standings stela**.
1331	1349	The Starward Standings stela also displays a number of previously selected Star Contributors. You can select any of their names to view a congratulatory message from the Cosmic Exploration Initiative.
1332	1350	Players selected as Star Contributor will also be commemorated with a **hologram of their visage in the cosmic exploration zone**.
1333	1351	If you have been selected, you may change the pose of your hologram at any time by accessing the Starward Standings stela.
1334	1352	The Infrastructure Index allows you to **monitor the overall progress of the Cosmic Exploration Initiative as well as review entries in the development log.** You can view the index at any time via the Infrastructure Index section of the exotablet.
1335	1353	■Confirming Progress Information about the current infrastructure project and overall cosmic exploration progress is displayed at the top of the window. **※See the “Projects” section of this guide for further details about infrastructure projects.** ■Development Log Reports on current and past development phases are listed on the left side of the window. Footage of each phase can be viewed via the Video Log button.
1336	1354	Projects are collaborative endeavors in which **Disciples of the Hand and Land work together to complete tasks**, contributing towards the construction and expansion of various facilities.
1337	1355	Once the Cosmic Exploration Initiative has progressed to a certain point, and the necessary groundwork is complete, project **commencement timing** is determined. Details about preparation progress and project commencement timing can be found in the Infrastructure Index section of the exotablet.
1338	1356	The location of any projects currently underway is displayed on the map.
1339	1357	Depending on the project site and objective, participants will be required to perform various tasks, such as **transporting materials, fabricating parts, and removing obstacles**. When the progress bar is filled, the project will draw to a close, and cosmocredits and experience points will be awarded based on **contribution**. Successfully completing projects will transform the environment and further the exploration effort.
1340	1358	Stellar successes are milestones based on your contributions to the initiative. Various rewards are bestowed upon reaching these milestones. You can keep track of your progress via the Stellar Successes section of the exotablet.
1341	1359	Stellar successes are divided into two categories: daily successes, which track your day-to-day achievements, and standard successes, which track your overall contribution to the initiative. Participating in stellar missions and mech ops are just two of the many ways you can attain stellar successes and reap the rewards. Beware that rewards received above and beyond your carrying capacity will be disposed of.
1342	1360	Daily successes reward **short-term contributions to the initiative on a day-to-day basis**. These milestones can be viewed under the Daily tab in the Stellar Successes section of the exotablet.
1343	1361	Completing daily successes awards Daily Success Points. Different rewards are available depending on the number of points accrued. Rewards may also vary based on the current initiative's progress. Daily success progress is reset each day at 6 p.m. (Earth time).
1344	1362	Standard successes reward **long-term contributions over the course of the initiative**. These milestones can be viewed under the Standard tab in the Stellar Successes section of the exotablet.
1345	1363	Corresponding rewards are given upon reaching each milestone.
1346	1364	The Cosmoliner is a convenient, high-speed transport network linking points of strategic importance across the exploration zone. Simply approach the warp gate to be whisked off to your destination.
1347	1365	As you work with other contributors to further the initiative, new sections of the Cosmoliner network will be added, providing swift access to more distant locales.
1348	1366	**Data gathered during the course of the initiative supports cosmic research**─an endeavor dedicated to the pursuit of interstellar exploration. As part of this research, analytical tasks are set for each Disciple of the Hand and Land class. Completing missions will procure the data necessary to complete these tasks and advance to the next research stage. Details can be viewed in the Cosmic Research section of the exotablet.
1349	1367	When opened, the Cosmic Research Information window displays current research objectives for each class.
1350	1368	Once you have gathered enough data to complete your current analytical task, you can submit your report to Researchingway. The data-driven Loporrit will reward your hard work by upgrading your cosmic tool. An icon will appear on the exotablet when you have sufficient data to report.
1351	1369	Designed for Disciples of the Hand and Land, **cosmic tools are the technological culmination of Researchingway's fastidious data analysis**. As you complete analytical tasks, the ingenious Loporrit can upgrade your cosmic tool to ever-increasing heights of utility.
1352	1370	Cosmic fortunes are **one of several reward systems players will encounter while participating in cosmic exploration.** Using credits earned through contributions to the initiative, you can draw fortunes to receive various prizes. The available prizes differ from star to star.
1353	1371	Contributions to the Cosmic Exploration Initiative are rewarded with credits based on the planet where they are made. In the case of Sinus Ardorum, players will receive lunar credits. These credits may then be spent to **draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with Orbitingway, each draw costing 1,000 credits.**
1354	1372	Mission Types I
1355	1373	After paying the requisite credits, the cosmic fortune drawing will begin, and players will be presented with two roulette wheels.
1356	1374	**Each roulette contains a unique set of prizes.** After selecting one, the roulette wheel will be spun, and players will receive rewards based on where it stops.
1357	1375	**The roulette wheel has a chance to stop on a special marker, granting players a Stellar Opportunity.**
1358	1376	Stopping on Stellar Opportunity will reveal a new roulette wheel with a new set of special prizes.
1359	1377	Players who make substantial contributions to mech ops may be rewarded with a ticket for a **Big Bang fortune**. There are several types of Big Bang fortunes which can only be obtained and used on their respective stars. Should you receive one of these tickets, speak with Orbitingway to test your luck on a special roulette wheel for a chance to win extravagant prizes.
1360	1378	Operating in volatile environs is not without its challenges. At times, unforeseen developments may call for emergency measures.
1361	1379	Whenever these hazards result in major obstacles to the initiative, the Moongate Hub will issue a **red alert**. Heed the call to arms, and work together with your comrades to resolve the crisis!
1362	1380	During an active red alert, you may aid in its resolution by undertaking **critical missions**.
1363	1381	Depending on the type of emergency, some critical missions may only be available to certain classes. Whenever your specific expertise is in demand, you will be compensated handsomely for offering it.
1364	1382	During an active red alert, everyone must work together to resolve the most pressing issues at hand. Progress on that front is indicated by the alert gauge.
1365	1383	Each progress bar represents a different ongoing problem. Your objective is to ensure that **both are filled within the allotted time**. If successful, all contributors shall receive bonus rewards at the conclusion of the red alert.
1366	1384	While a critical mission is active, the classes in demand are listed to the left of each progress bar. Change classes as necessary to lend a hand wherever you're needed most!
1367	1385	**So long as the timer has yet to expire, you are free to undertake critical missions, even if the progress bars are already full.** Your reward will not be impacted. For the Cosmic Exploration Initiative, there's no such thing as too many supplies, so don't hesitate to contribute if you have the time!
1368	1386	Critical missions may only be undertaken while a red alert is active. Upon its conclusion, you will be unable to complete the mission. **Additionally, once the timer falls below one minute, you will be unable to accept a new mission, as you will not have sufficient time to complete it.**
1369	1387	Cosmocredits are a type of currency earned through contributions to the Cosmic Exploration Initiative. At the Credit Exchange, they can be used to purchase a variety of supplies and even exclusive wares! ■How to Earn Cosmocredits Cosmocredits are primarily earned through the completion of stellar missions, but are also awarded through stellar successes and other avenues. Some tasks, such as construction projects, are more lucrative than others!
1370	1388	Though objectives, rating milestones, and other details may vary, each mission generally falls under one of the following categories: ■Stocking Specified Items Utilize your abilities to collect a specific item. Upon reaching the requisite quantity, the mission is complete. Disciples of the Hand may earn greater compensation by submitting high-quality items, whereas fishers will be richly rewarded for large-sized fish. You can review the requisite milestones on the item help window. ■Stocking Specified Item Types Utilize your abilities to collect items of specified types. The more types of items obtained, the higher your rating upon mission completion. Each new type of item obtained increases your rating by 1,000 points. ■Race against Time For these missions, the objective must be completed within the time limit. The faster you finish, the better your rating, increasing by 10 points for every remaining second. ■Increasing Collectability Utilize your abilities to collect items with high collectability. The higher the collectability, the higher your rating upon completion. You can review the requisite milestones on the item help window.
1371	1389	Sector credits are currencies earned through contributions to the Cosmic Exploration Initiative. The type of credits obtained will vary based on the exploration map they were obtained in. They can be used to purchase cosmic fortunes as well as pilot applications for use in mech ops. ■How to Earn Sector Credits Sector credits are primarily earned through the completion of stellar missions, but are also awarded through stellar successes and other avenues. During red alerts, complete critical missions for an even bigger payout!
1372	1390	Each submitted report will increase the quantity and variety of data collectable via missions─a key concern for the budding cosmic researcher.

1377	1395	The Exotablet
1378	1396	Zone Effects and Rules
1379	1397	When a red alert is issued, players are called upon to participate in critical missions, which must be completed within the specified time. For those who join forces and resolve these crises, generous rewards await.
1380	1398	Further details regarding both mission types can be found under the Mech Ops and Red Alert headings of this guide. **■Completing Projects and Initiative Progress** Once players on a particular World have progressed to a certain point, they can begin to undertake projects. Completing these endeavors will greatly further the initiative and bring about a number of changes in the field. Given their importance to the initiative's enduring success, these projects offer lucrative rewards to those who lend their expertise. Please refer to the Projects heading for more information.
1381	1399	The exotablet is **a HUD feature exclusive to cosmic exploration zones** from which you may review important information pertaining to every aspect of the initiative.
1382	1400	■Main Window From this window, you have access to each facet of exploration, enabling you to accept stellar missions and check the overall progress of the initiative. ■Cosmocredits Cosmocredits are a type of formless currency issued by the initiative and accepted at any interstellar base camp. The amount in your possession is displayed on your exotablet. ■Sector Credits Each cosmic exploration zone uses a unique formless currency. As with cosmocredits, the amount of credits applicable to your current location is displayed on your exotablet.
1383	1401	Players participating in the Cosmic Exploration Initiative are subject to a number of rules and effects. ■Traveling to Exploration Zones Players may speak with Drivingway in Bestways Burrow (X:21.9 Y:13.2) to gain passage to cosmic exploration zones. Players may also travel directly to the zone currently under development via the aetheryte in Bestways Burrow. ■Stellar Return Stellar Return can be used anywhere within cosmic exploration zones. Upon use, players are transported to the rainbow crystal located at the zone's base of operations. ■Stellar Sprint Within cosmic exploration zones, the rainbow crystal converts a crafter or gatherer's Sprint action into Stellar Sprint, boosting movement speed and effect duration.
1384	1402	In the beginning, you are only permitted to undertake class D stellar missions. You will gradually unlock more difficult tasks upon reaching the requisite conditions, which can be found below the mission selection list. Unlocking tasks in any given area will unlock stellar missions for all exploration areas.
1385	1403	There are a few special rules and restrictions associated with stellar missions: ■Quest Sync The difficulty of crafting and gathering missions, as well as the amount of experience earned, will be adjusted to your current level at the time of commencement. ■GP Recovery Upon completing gathering missions, you will recover GP equal to the total amount spent during the mission. Furthermore, the recast timer of recovery items such as cordials will be reset. ■Duty Actions Some stellar missions allow for the use of a unique duty action. This information is listed in the mission selection window.
1386	1404	The cosmic class score refers to **the points individual players accrue by taking part in cosmic exploration, separated by class.** Whenever you complete a stellar mission, you will earn points for your chosen class. Reaching certain milestones will grant achievements and, in some cases, titles. You may view your current score by selecting the Cosmic Class Tracker from your exotablet.

1396	1414	Treasure chests on the Occult Crescent sometimes hold a fortune carrot. With one in your possession, you may start to notice signs of happy bunnies nearby. **Using the fortune carrot on the spot** will draw the little leporine elementals out into the open.
1397	1415	Happy bunnies are known to repay kind adventurers with treasure, so be sure to offer them any fortune carrots you find!
1398	1416	Some FATEs on the Occult Crescent will task you with defending magic pots from hostile creatures.
1399	1417	Of those who contribute sufficiently to the successful completion of these FATEs, 20 players will be selected at random to receive an elixir, the scent of which will entice a persistent pot to give chase. These soulkin can sense buried treasure and will offer hints as to its location **in exchange for sips of elixir.** Use these clues to seek out hidden riches!
1400	1418	Mastering Phantom Jobs
1401	1419	Upon reaching a phantom job's maximum level, you will receive the Phantom Mastery status, which grants increased damage dealt and other helpful effects, and remains active even should you change to another phantom job. The more jobs you master, the more powerful your Phantom Mastery effects become, so intrepid adventurers will want to deepen their knowledge of many a lost art.
1402	1420	The Bayside Battleground
1403	1421	Evoking the bayside of a western port city, this glamour-woven arena offers no specialized gimmicks. Those who would claim glory must seize it through strength and strategy alone.
1404	1422	**■Jump Glyphs■** Placed near the center of the arena, players may jump to the opposite shore by utilizing these glyphs.
1405	1423	Traveling Between Exploration Zones
1406	1424	The Cosmic Exploration Initiative is now operational on other stars.
1407	1425	By speaking with Cruisingway, located near the *Galactic Way*, you may travel to other cosmic exploration zones. ■Changing Instanced Areas During periods of congestion, cosmic exploration zones may be separated into instanced areas. You may travel to different instances by speaking with Cruisingway.
1408	1426	■Distance Icon Next to the name of each mission is a distance icon, indicating the relative distance from your current location to the site of the selected stellar mission. ※Certain missions do not have a designated location.
1409	1427	Mission Types II
1410	1428	Certain gatherer missions also have class-specific rank requirements. ■Successive Gathering Chains (Miner and Botanist Only) Achieve as many successful chains as possible at a single gathering point. The higher the chain, the higher your rating. Chain #1: 50 Chain #2: 50 Chain #3: 50 Chain #4: 150 Chain #5+: 200 ■Gatherer's Boon (Miner and Botanist Only) Trigger Gatherer's Boon as many times as possible. Rating is increased by 200 each time the effect is triggered. ■Big Fish (Fisher Only) Your rating is determined by the size of fish caught. Some missions will evaluate your single biggest catch, while others measure the average size of your entire haul. In either case, your rating is tallied using the formula “fish size x 10.”
1411	1429	There are different types of pilot applications, each of which can only be used in their corresponding exploration areas. ■Submitting Applications Once a mech op has been issued, those seeking to serve as pilots may do so by accessing the Mech Ops Registration menu via their exotablets.
1412	1430	■Field Scanners Resources gathered during mech ops must be fed into a nearby field scanner. When sufficient resources have been gathered, the scanner will activate, revealing targets for mech pilots to strike. ■Special Rewards Ground supporters who make sufficient contributions will receive a buff that increases the number of credits received for a limited number of subsequent stellar missions. Further details can be found under Stellar Mission Rules.
1413	1431	Cosmic Exploration Tokens
1414	1432	**Cosmic Exploration Tokens** are awarded upon successful completion of certain difficult stellar missions. These tokens can be exchanged for special rewards by speaking with Mesouaidonque.
1415	1433	Pilgrim's Traverse
1416	1434	Entry
1417	1435	You may enter Pilgrim's Traverse solo or in a party of up to four players. When speaking with Vanthau, you will be given the option to enter with a fixed party or a matched party via the matching system. To create a fixed party, the party leader must speak with Vanthau after forming a party of up to four players. Please note that all party members must have at least one unused save slot. You must be a Disciple of War or Magic of level 91 or above to participate.
1418	1436	Leveling Up
1419	1437	Players who enter from traverse stone 1 will start at level 91 regardless of their current class or job level. Players who enter from traverse stones 21, 31, 51, or 71 will start at level 100. While an independent leveling system is in place within the dungeon, experience points that affect current class or job level will be rewarded based on progress.
1420	1438	Precautions
1421	1439	It is possible to receive a score for your performance in Pilgrim's Traverse. In order to do so, you must enter with a fixed party. Please note that should your party KO while challenging areas marked by stones 31 and beyond, your save data will become inaccessible. Abandoning the duty will also count as a party KO.
1422	1440	Resetting Progress
1423	1441	Resetting Progress
1424	1442	It is possible to reset your progression in Pilgrim's Traverse, allowing you to re-enter the chapels from previous traverse stones. If entering from stone 1, your level will be reset to 91. If entering from stones 21, 31, 51, or 71, your level will be reset to 100. Although area progression and character level will be reset, aetherpool arm and gear strength will remain unchanged. Please note, however, that data cannot be restored once deleted.
1425	1443	Fixed Parties
1426	1444	Disbanding Fixed Parties
1427	1445	It is possible to convert fixed party save data to matched party save data, allowing you to be matched automatically with other players via the matching system. Please note that all special items (pomanders and incense) will be lost upon converting your data. Once saved data from a fixed party is converted, it can only be used when selecting matched party. It cannot be restored to its original state.
1428	1446	Entry After Disbanding
1429	1447	Although players can no longer enter as a fixed party after converting their saved data, it is still possible to create preformed parties as long as the party is formed before entering Pilgrim's Traverse. The progression of all party members must be identical when doing so. Any open party slots will be filled automatically via the matching system.
1430	1448	Party Progression
1431	1449	Players who have not progressed to the same stone cannot enter Pilgrim's Traverse together as a party. Those clearing earlier areas must use the matching system on their own. Once all players have reached the same traverse stone, they can proceed together by forming a party and choosing to enter as a matched party.
1432	1450	Illumed Aetherpool Gear
1433	1451	About Illumed Aetherpool Gear
1434	1452	Players must use illumed aetherpool armor and arms in place of normal gear when inside Pilgrim's Traverse. They will be equipped automatically upon entering, and can then be strengthened as you progress through the dungeon.
1435	1453	Upgrading Aetherpool Gear
1436	1454	Illumed aetherpool gear can be enhanced by accessing silver coffers. These coffers are found randomly in each area and after defeating certain enemies. Please note that aetherpool gear possessed of significant strength may, in some cases, fail to resonate properly with silver coffers, resulting in failed enhancement. The maximum strength of illumed aetherpool gear may be restricted depending on your class or job level and current dungeon progression. This can be confirmed when viewing the Character Info window. Aetherpool gear enhancements will not carry over from one deep dungeon to another.
1437	1455	Gear Restrictions
1438	1456	Under certain circumstances, you may be unable to join a matched party due to insufficient gear strength. In such cases, it may be necessary to resume your exploration of Pilgrim's Traverse from stone 1 to ensure your illumed aetherpool gear is of sufficient strength.
1439	1457	Special Items
1440	1458	Players will, on occasion, obtain pomanders from treasure coffers in Pilgrim's Traverse. These items can be used by all party members once acquired. They have various effects such as revealing the entirety of a map or increasing the number of treasure coffers in a given area. Effective use of these items will help ensure the situation is always to your advantage. Pomanders that affect the map cannot be overwritten with the same item when their effect is already in play. Please note, however, that they will still be consumed upon use. Pomanders cannot be taken outside of the deep dungeon. When in a matched party, they will be reset each time you enter the dungeon.
1441	1459	Juniper Incense
1442	1460	Juniper incense may be obtained from treasure coffers in Pilgrim's Traverse. Incense is shared between all party members and, when burned, calls the faerie king to assist you in a variety of ways. The help you receive is dependent upon the type of incense you burn. Incense cannot be taken outside of the deep dungeon. When in a matched party, it will be reset each time you enter the dungeon.
1443	1461	Pomanders
1444	1462	About Votives
1445	1463	Players may encounter votive candelabras along their journey through Pilgrim's Traverse. Lighting them will activate various effects for the area beyond the next traverse stone. These effects may benefit your party or introduce additional challenges, so consider wisely before lighting the votives you find. Votive candelabras cannot be found in areas that precede a boss battle.
1446	1464	The Accursed Hoard
1447	1465	About the Accursed Hoard
1448	1466	When exploring Pilgrim's Traverse, players will, on occasion, find pieces of the Accursed Hoard─treasure sealed by powerful magicks. Once found, players must remain stationary in the treasure's location for a fixed period of time to unearth the coffer.
1449	1467	Finding the Accursed Hoard
1450	1468	Though it is not difficult to unearth pieces of the Accursed Hoard, its location cannot be discerned with the naked eye alone. Players must make use of a certain pomander in order to sense the presence of hidden pieces of the Accursed Hoard.
1451	1469	Appraisal
1452	1470	Pieces of the Accursed Hoard found in Pilgrim's Traverse will be moved to your inventory upon saving your progress and exiting the dungeon. To ascertain the true value of this treasure, you must speak with Tyr Marn to have it properly appraised.
1453	1471	Scores
1454	1472	Individual and Party Scores
1455	1473	When entering the deep dungeon as a fixed party, you will receive scores based on a number of factors such as the furthest traverse stone reached and number of enemies slain. You will be assigned separate scores for both individual and team performance. Please note that you cannot earn credit for previous areas when starting from stones 21, 31, 51, or 71. Starting from traverse stone 1 will ensure the highest score possible.
1456	1474	Rankings
1457	1475	Your highest score from the deep dungeon will be saved and can be viewed at any time by speaking with Vanthau. Scores that exceed a certain threshold will be made viewable on the rankings page of the Lodestone.
1458	1476	The Final Verse (Quantum)
1459	1477	Entry
1460	1478	The Final Verse (Quantum) is an independent duty that pits a four-player party against an enhanced incarnation of Eminent Grief. At least 15 sacramental offerings must be collected in order to challenge this duty. Once a party leader has acquired sufficient offerings, they must form a four-player party with Disciples of War or Magic of level 100 or above and speak with Vanthau to invoke the Final Verse (Quantum). After selecting at least 15 offerings, Eminent Grief may be summoned and the duty commenced. Please note that phoenix down cannot be used during the Final Verse (Quantum).
1461	1479	Sacramental Offerings
1462	1480	Five types of items may serve as offerings when invoking the Final Verse (Quantum): ・Sacramental Spirits ・Sacramental Spices ・Sacramental Grain ・Sacramental Light ・Sacramental Lilies At least 15 items must be selected to summon Eminent Grief. Sacramental offerings may occasionally be obtained by appraising pieces of the Accursed Hoard discovered within Pilgrim's Traverse.
1463	1481	Difficulty Level
1464	1482	In principle, summoning Eminent Grief with a greater number of offerings will result in a stronger incarnation. The type and number of offerings selected may also affect boss behavior, statuses, and a variety of other factors, thus altering the difficulty of the Final Verse (Quantum) in unexpected ways.
1465	1483	Rewards
1466	1484	Upon victory, a treasure coffer will appear. Opening this treasure coffer will expend the offerings that were selected to summon Eminent Grief. Rewards are proportionate to the number of offerings used. Additionally, the player who selected offerings before entering the duty will receive more rewards than other party members.
1467	1485	Votive Candelabras
1468	1486	Strategy Board
1469	1487	Overview
1470	1488	Strategy boards are created using a combination of icons, symbols, and markers to better coordinate with party members and overcome challenging duties.
1471	1489	Strategy Board List
1472	1490	Saved List
1473	1491	Up to fifty strategy boards can be saved at a time, and they can be grouped and separated into folders for ease of organization. You may create up to fifty-five folders, each of which can hold up to ten strategy boards.
1474	1492	Shared List
1475	1493	Strategy boards shared by other players may also be stored temporarily in a separate list. Up to twenty such strategy boards shared may be saved at a time, with the oldest being overwritten should this limit be exceeded. Please note, however, that shared strategy boards may be moved to the Saved List at any time.
1476	1494	Strategy Board Interface
1477	1495	Reviewing Strategies
1478	1496	When reviewing strategies, you can freely adjust the size of the board and lock it to prevent it from being closed. The board can also be displayed while undertaking duties. The settings menu can be used to adjust the display of DPS icons, or highlight roles that are particularly important to your strategy.
1479	1497	Using the Strategy Board
1480	1498	Select your desired strategy board from the list or its folder, then select Review Strategy Board from the subcommand menu to begin reviewing it. When reviewing strategy boards in a folder, the arrow buttons at the bottom right of the window can be used to cycle through them. There are also actions available under General in the Actions & Traits menu that can also be used to cycle through strategy boards.
1481	1499	Customizing Strategy Boards
1482	1500	Editing
1483	1501	The editing of strategy boards is carried out primarily through the use of three menus: The Objects List window, where you can choose icons and symbols to add to the strategy board. The Object Layers window, where you can perform various functions such as hiding, locking, and copying objects. The Object Parameters window, where you can make finer adjustments such as changing the size, rotation, and transparency of objects. ※By locking these windows, they will remain open when viewing the main editing window. When viewing the main window, you can also toggle gridlines, gridline snapping, and object snapping.
1484	1502	Selecting Objects
1485	1503	When editing, you can freely select and move objects on the strategy board. You may also select multiple objects at once.
1486	1504	Presets
1487	1505	When creating a new strategy board, you may choose from several preset configurations. Strategy boards created using these options can be used as they are, or serve as a starting point for further customization.
1488	1506	Miscellaneous
1489	1507	■Lock and Hide Objects Any object placed onto the strategy board can be locked in place. You may also toggle their display on or off.
1490	1508	■Grid Snap When gridlines are enabled, objects will automatically snap to these lines for easier positioning.
1491	1509	Strategy Board Settings
1492	1510	The settings menu allows you to adjust the display of certain icons. Please note these options affect all strategy boards. ■DPS Icon Display Type Choose to represent DPS jobs with a unified icon or those that distinguish between melee and ranged roles. ■Icon Highlight Highlight a specified class or job icon. ※This option only applies if the specified job icon appears on the strategy board.
1493	1511
1494	1512
1495	1513
1496	1514	■Multiple Object Selection When using a mouse, hold Ctrl and left-click the icons you wish to select together. When using a , press to select multiple objects. ※Multiple objects cannot be selected when real-time sharing.
1497	1515	■Object Snap When enabled, objects will automatically snap to other nearby objects.
1498	1516	■Align Objects When multiple objects have been selected, the Align Objects subcommand can be used to align them either vertically or horizontally.
1499	1517	Share Code
1500	1518	Using the Create Share Code subcommand on a selected strategy board, you can generate text-based codes to share with other players, which they can then enter when creating their own strategy board. ※Exchanging codes via chat is not advised, as they may be affected by player chat filters. Furthermore, depending on the contents of a strategy board, the resulting share code may exceed the character limit for chat messages.
1501	1519	Real-time Sharing
1502	1520	Real-time sharing allows you to modify a strategy board together with party members. While all players will be able to view the strategy board, only the player who initiated real-time sharing can make direct edits. Moreover, the Undo and Redo functions, as well as the selection of multiple objects, are not available when real-time sharing. Please note that real-time sharing will be suspended during combat or when players leave or join your party. However, any changes made to the strategy board will be saved automatically to the Shared List, where you can resume editing at a later time. Because real-time edits are overwritten periodically, you may wish to create a copy to preserve the original strategy board.
1503	1521	Sharing Strategy Boards
1504	1522	Party Sharing
1505	1523	Single strategy boards or entire folders can be shared with party members via the Share with Party subcommand. Any strategy boards shared in this manner will be saved temporarily in the Shared List.

1535	1553	Traveling to Mission Sites
1536	1554	Critical missions require you to craft or procure materials at a designated location. Speak with Lefleda while a red alert is active to travel directly to the mission site.
1537	1555	※Stellar missions will be automatically abandoned upon leaving the relevant exploration zone.
1538	1556	The Final Verse
1539	1557	Entry
1540	1558	The Final Verse is a practice duty that pits a party of up to four players against a simulacrum of Eminent Grief. Players may speak with Vanthau to challenge this duty with a fixed or matched party.
1541	1559	Difficulty Level
1542	1560	The boss summoned by invoking the Final Verse is a perfect replica of the fiend lurking beyond traverse stone 99. By practicing against this simulacrum, players will become better equipped to overcome Eminent Grief within Pilgrim's Traverse.
1543	1561	Rewards
1544	1562	Upon victory, a treasure coffer will appear. All party members may receive rewards upon opening this treasure coffer.

1547	1565	Players may obtain pieces of the Blessed Hoard by completing challenge log objectives for Pilgrim's Traverse, or by clearing the two duties unlocked over the course of the dungeon. Just as with the Accursed Hoard, pieces of the Blessed Hoard must be appraised by Tyr Marn in Wolekdorf to ascertain their true value.
1548	1566	A Different Deep Dungeon
1549	1567	Construction
1550	1568	Pilgrim's Traverse differs from previous deep dungeons in a variety of ways. The changes you can expect to find are outlined below, using the Palace of the Dead as a contrasting example. **■Floors The Palace of the Dead has a total of two hundred floors, whereas Pilgrim's Traverse has one hundred areas available for exploration. **■Entry Points You may re-enter the dungeon from waypoints should your party KO or if you reset your progress. These entry points become available after clearing certain areas and completing quests unlocked by dungeon progression. In the Palace of the Dead, players can only re-enter from floors 1 or 51. Pilgrim's Traverse offers entry points from stones 1, 21, 31, 51, and 71. **■Matched Parties All floors after floor 100 of the Palace of the Dead are designed strictly as a challenge for players and only accessible to fixed parties. However, Pilgrim's Traverse allows players to challenge comparable areas, beginning with stone 31, with matched parties. Please note that from stone 91 onwards, the matching system cannot be used to add members. **■Independent Duties Two independent duties can be unlocked by proceeding through Pilgrim's Traverse. Tabs with more information on each will be added to this menu when they are unlocked.
1551	1569	Special Items and Features
1552	1570	Some items and features found within this dungeon are unique to Pilgrim's Traverse. **■Special Items Alongside pomanders, treasure coffers in Pilgrim's Traverse may contain juniper incense, which can be burned to call the faerie king.

1563	1581	■Pruning Pirouette A circular area of effect attack. ■Roaring Eggscapade An attack that moves you swiftly forward, slicing down foes in your path. ■The Spriganator A large circular area of effect attack that can only be executed upon attaining sufficient cleaning spirit, displayed in an instance-specific gauge.
1564	1582	You may increase your score in the following ways: ■Trimming Troublesome Traps You will earn points for each pesky leafkin that you cut down to size. ■Reclaiming Archon Eggs Hidden amongst the troublesome traps are Archon eggs meant for egg hunt participants. Collecting gold, silver, and bronze Archon eggs will earn you a different number of points for each type. Your current score and high score will be displayed in the duty list.
1565	1583	You may encounter transcendental traps during Sprig Cleaning.
1566	1584	Trimming these leafkin will randomly apply one of the following benefits: ・A significant increase to your cleaning gauge ・Status Effect: Enhanced Egg Acuity 　Improves your chances of discovering Archon eggs. ・Status Effect: Golden Eye 　Ensures all Archon eggs discovered are gold.
1567	1585	■Crafting and Gathering Restrictions During a stellar mission, crafting and gathering will not award experience, and spiritbond will accrue at a different rate. ■Fishing Restrictions At the end of each stellar mission, your Angler's Art stacks will be reset, regardless of how many you have accrued. ■Ground Support Bonuses Ground supporters who make sufficient contributions to a mech op will receive bonus credits for a set number of subsequent missions, regardless of objective. These bonuses are as follows: Cosmocredits: +20 Sector Credits: +10 For the duration of the effect, an arrow symbol will be displayed on the Initiate button on the mission selection window.
1568	1586	Gold Count
1569	1587	Your **gold count** refers to a special bonus that accrues as high-level missions are completed in succession. ■Activation Conditions To start a gold count, consecutively attain gold stars in class A basic missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions. Changing classes will not break this streak. Upon attaining another gold star after accruing 5 golds, you will achieve Super Star status and your gold count will reset to zero. Each cosmic exploration field has a separate gold count which will be retained even if you leave the area. ■Bonus Effect An active gold count will yield increased rewards for stellar missions, with Super Star status offering the highest bonus. Gold count and Super Star bonuses affect all credit types, dronebits, and contributions to the Starward Standings. You can confirm your current gold count via the mission selection list.
1570	1588	■Reset Conditions The following actions will break a gold count streak: ・Initiating a class B, C, or D mission. ・Completing a mission with a rating below Gold Star. ・Abandoning a mission (unless the mission was automatically abandoned due to your mech ops pilot application having been selected). Conversely, the following actions will not break a gold count streak: ・Taking part in mech ops. ・Taking part in cosmic exploration projects. ・Initiating and/or completing other types of missions, such as critical missions.
1571	1589	Artifact Search
1572	1590	Overview
1573	1591	Where there are ruins, there are treasures just begging to be found! To begin the **artifact search**, you'll need to launch a reconnaissance drone by using a drone module, the type of which differs between stars. ■How to Obtain Drone Modules Within cosmic exploration zones that contain ruins, whenever your gold count is activated through the consecutive completion of class A basic missions and/or provisional missions, you will receive dronebits alongside the other rewards. (Please refer to the Gold Count section of the exotablet for more information.) Dronebits may be traded to Kaede at the local rainbow crystal in exchange for drone modules.
1574	1592	How to Use Drone Modules
1575	1593	Using a drone module will launch a reconnaissance drone and initiate its artifact scanning subroutines. The locations of discovered artifacts will be marked on your map for your convenience.
1576	1594	Once you arrive at the marked location, interact with the artifact to conduct analysis.
1577	1595	Successful analysis will produce an ancient record, completing the artifact search. The ancient record may then be submitted to Kaede at the local rainbow crystal in exchange for a variety of rewards.
1578	1596	The icon representing saved outfits will also indicate the number of individual items presently being used as part of the outfit glamour. An orange number indicates all parts have been stored together. As with standard glamours, outfit glamours will appear in each tab of the glamour dresser. Their item descriptions will also indicate they are part of an outfit glamour.
1579	1597	Adding Outfit Gear
1580	1598	It is possible to add gear to incomplete outfit glamours stored in the glamour dresser, requiring the equivalent number of glamour prisms to do so. With the missing gear in your inventory or Armoury Chest, open the Outfits tab of the glamour dresser, choose an outfit glamour you wish to add gear to, then select “Add Missing Outfit Gear” from the subcommand menu. Gear can also be added via the Outfit Glamour button in the Glamour Creation window.
1581	1599	If an outfit glamour matching the selected gear is available in the glamour dresser, pressing this button will automatically select that outfit for gear additions.
1582	1601	Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)
1583	1602	Map Overview
1584	1603	Far to the west of Eorzea, across the Indigo Deep, lies the continent of Tural. Here, in the mountainous region of Worqor Chirteh, a great battle is said to have been waged by the Yok Huy of ancient times. The Grand Companies would borrow this battlefield of eld to test their mettle, and, under the watchful gaze of the snow spirits, the sounds of conflicts past and present echo through the mountainside once more.
1585	1604	Victory Conditions
1586	1605	In Worqor Chirteh (Triumph), victory goes to the first alliance to reach the specified tactical rating, which is accumulated by: 　1. Defeating enemy players 　2. Claiming triumphs In the event that none of the three alliances reaches the specified tactical rating within the time limit, victory will be awarded to the alliance with the highest tactical rating.
1587	1606	Triumphs
1588	1607	Across the field of battle, there are points of tactical importance known as triumphs. By laying claim to these locations, players can increase their team's tactical rating over time. **■Triumph States■** In the course of battle, triumphs will assume one of four states, in the following order: 1. Inactive When inactive, a triumph cannot be claimed. All triumphs are inactive at the onset of battle, but as time passes, they will randomly begin activating.
1589	1608	2. Activating When a triumph begins activating, a symbol will appear above it indicating the time remaining before it becomes unclaimed. The symbol will gradually take shape until it becomes complete, rendering the triumph unclaimed.
1590	1609	3. Unclaimed When a triumph is unclaimed, several fields of triumph will appear around it. Once a single team secures all fields, they will claim the triumph for themselves.
1591	1610	4. Claimed When claimed, a triumph gradually increases a team's tactical rating. A triumph that has been claimed cannot be seized by the opposition; however, after a certain amount of time has elapsed, it will revert to being inactive. When it does so, a triumph in a different location will become unclaimed.
1592	1611	**■Triumph Rank■** When a triumph begins activating, it will randomly be assigned a rank: B, A, or S, as indicated by the corresponding shape. While higher-ranked triumphs are rarer, they increase a team's tactical rating at a faster rate.
1593	1612	**■Changes during Battle■** As the battle progresses, the number of triumphs that can be simultaneously active will decrease. At the same time, the likelihood that they will activate at a higher rank will increase. **■Changes Due to Weather■** Certain weather conditions increase the likelihood that triumphs will activate at a higher rank.
1594	1613	Fields of Triumph
1595	1614	Several fields of triumph will appear around an unclaimed triumph. Players can secure a field of triumph by remaining within the area for a set period of time. The number of players within the field does not affect the time required. The higher the rank of the triumph, the more fields will appear. Once a field of triumph has been secured, the opposition may attempt to seize it for themselves. Even though another team may have secured the field, the battle is far from over!
1596	1615	Snow
1597	1616	As time passes in a match, snow may begin to fall on Worqor Chirteh. While snow is falling, snow spirits will appear around the arena to engage in a bout of mischief-making.
1598	1617	**■Snow Soldiers** When snow spirits appear, they will cast Soldiers of 'Fridgeration to create snow troops of various sizes around the arena. These snow soldiers form obstacles that can be used to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
1599	1618	**■Blessed Blast■** When snow spirits are present, they will repeatedly cast Blessed Blast. Players caught in this blast will be protected by a barrier that nullifies damage.
1600	1619	Auroras
1601	1620	As time passes in a match, auroras may appear in the skies over Worqor Chirteh. This weather condition causes the following two effects: 1. Increases the likelihood that triumphs will activate as a higher rank. 2. Gradually fills the limit gauge of all players.
1602	1621	Obtaining Aetherpool Weapons
1603	1622	You may use your illumed aetherpool weapon outside of Pilgrim's Traverse after clearing the area marked by stone 30 and completing the subsequent quest. However, you must first forge a sufficient number of illumed aetherpool grips by speaking with Ose Wyd in Wolekdorf. Forging one grip will reduce the strength of your illumed aetherpool arm and armor by 10. Once you have acquired enough illumed aetherpool grips, you may obtain a weapon of the First Light by speaking with Ose Wyd and selecting “Request to keep your aetherpool gear.” Once you clear the area marked by stone 100 and enhance your illumed aetherpool arm to +60 or above, sacramental weapons will also become available.
1604	1623	Archeia Harmonias
1605	1624	An arena that assumes the form of a vast war library. On this battlefield, how each side overcomes the obstacle of the aetherometer will draw the line between victory and defeat.
1606	1625	**■Aetherometer■** Aetherometers can be found halfway between the centerpoint and each team's checkpoint. Upon reaching an aetherometer, the tactical crystal's progress will be halted temporarily. During this time, the advancing team must remain in the crystal's ring to charge the aetherometer. When the aether index reaches 100%, an aetherial bridge will manifest, and the crystal can once again be moved. The aether index will revert to 0 if any of the following occurs during charging: - All members of the advancing team leave the crystal's ring. - A member of the opposing team enters the crystal's ring. Once an aetherometer is fully charged, its aether index will no longer revert to 0.
1607	1626	**■Aetherial Bridge■** When an aetherometer is fully charged, an aetherial bridge will manifest and remain in place for the remainder of the match.
1608	1627	**■Healing Glyph■** Each team has a healing glyph situated to the front of its starting point. While standing on the glyph, players will recover HP over time. Please note that this benefit is not granted by the opposing team's glyph.
1609	1628	**■Jump Glyph■** Each team has a jump glyph situated at its base, which can be activated by fully charging their aetherometer. By stepping on the glyph, players can travel swiftly to the opposite platform.
1610	1629	Custom Deliveries
1611	1630	Satisfaction Level
1612	1631	Deliveries
1613	1632	Increasing the Value of Collectables
1614	1633	Overview
1615	1634	Custom deliveries are opportunities for Disciples of the Hand and Land to procure items for a client in need. By completing these deliveries, players will receive experience points and scrips, and deepen their relationship with the client in question. Clients may be unlocked by completing the main scenario and other sidequests. ■Basic Information You may view the satisfaction level, delivery list, and delivery allowances for every unlocked client by selecting Custom Deliveries on the Timers interface located under Duty in the main menu. Delivering desired items to your clients will increase their **satisfaction level**.
1616	1635	Overview
1617	1636	With each successful delivery, your client will come to trust you more and more, leading them to task you with assignments of greater importance. Your progress will be displayed in the form of a gauge atop the delivery list. Fill this gauge to the maximum, and your client's **satisfaction level**─as represented by little golden hearts─will increase.
1618	1637	Upon reaching a new satisfaction level, you will have the opportunity to learn more about your client and their story.
1619	1638	Custom Delivery Makeovers
1620	1639	Upon attaining the highest satisfaction level possible, certain clients will allow you to glamour their clothing according to your tastes. The presence of a gear icon beside the hearts indicates one such client.
1621	1640	■How to Perform a Makeover Speak with your client and select “Cast glamour” to change their attire. You may cast glamours using gear for the head, body, hands, legs, and feet, as well as the requisite number of **glamour prisms**. **※Please note that some glamours cannot be applied to certain characters due to incompatibility with race or gender.** Glamour prisms may be obtained from the market board, Grand Company quartermasters, or crafted after obtaining the applicable master recipe.
1622	1641	■How to Reverse a Makeover Should you wish to revert a client's appearance, you will need a requisite number of **glamour dispellers**. These items may be obtained from the market board, Grand Company quartermasters, and other shops. For more information on glamours and how to dispel them, select the question mark icon on the Glamour Plate window.
1623	1642	Requirements and Rewards
1624	1643	Custom deliveries become available after completing their unlock quest. In order to deliver an item, you must be its corresponding class and a certain level or above. You may check whether or not you meet these requirements via the delivery list. Rewards will differ depending on your level at the time of delivery. Players who have not reached the level cap will be awarded experience points, and those who have will receive scrips. You may confirm what rewards you will receive given your current class by checking the bottom of the delivery list. ■Item Types Your clients deal only in collectables, which fall into three categories: **crafted items**, **gathered items**, and **fish**. Items can only be delivered when you are their corresponding class. The collectability of items will earn you proportional rewards. Furthermore, delivering items marked with **BONUS** will earn you particularly handsome rewards. Whenever they make an appearance, the effort to procure them will be worth your while. ■Delivery Allowances Each week, you can make up to six deliveries to any given client and up to twelve deliveries across all clients. Allowances will be reset every week on Tuesday at 5 p.m. (Earth time).
1625	1644	Obtaining Items
1626	1645	Information on how to acquire individual items may be found via the relevant subcommand.
1627	1646	■Disciple of the Hand Items Choose the **Search for Item by Crafting Method** subcommand with the delivery list selected to open the crafting log and relevant recipes. Materials necessary to craft the collectables your client seeks may be purchased from a nearby NPC vendor. ■Miner and Botanist Items Choose the **Search for Item by Gathering Method** subcommand to open the gathering log and relevant maps. ■Fisher Items Choose the **Display Location** subcommand to open a map of the relevant fishing hole or teeming waters. Furthermore, you may discover that using a **metal spinner** as a lure will expedite your fishing endeavors.
1628	1647	Disciples of the Hand
1629	1648	The collectability of crafted items is directly related to their quality. Spare no effort in ensuring that the items you craft are of the highest possible quality, and you will be rewarded accordingly. The **Inner Quiet** status, granted each time you successfully increase quality, will serve you particularly well. Accumulate as many stacks of the status as you can, then put the final flourish on your masterpiece with **Byregot's Blessing**. There are a host of other actions that can serve to further enhance the quality of items you craft. Once you've mastered the fundamentals, you are encouraged to experiment with varied approaches until you find your preferred crafting method.
1630	1649	Miners and Botanists
1631	1650	Before gathering a collectable item, you must increase its collectability. One technique miners and botanists may employ to raise collectability is the use of **Scrutiny** followed by **Scour**. Try executing this combination a few times before gathering the item. Gatherers seeking to procure items with higher collectability must be certain to equip gear with higher **gathering** and **perception** ratings, as these attributes influence the effectiveness of actions that raise collectability. Of course, these actions cannot be used to their full potential without sufficient **GP**. A healthy balance of all three attributes is essential to make the most of your gathering. For more information, select the question mark icon on the window that opens upon choosing to gather a collectable item.
1632	1651	Fishers
1633	1652	The collectability value of fish follows a simple rule─the bigger, the better. Upon arriving at the fishing hole or teeming waters where your desired quarry resides, use the **Collect** action, then begin fishing or spearfishing.
1634	1653	When fishing, using **Patience** or **Patience II** followed by effective hooking actions will increase your chances of reeling in a big one. Should you still find yourself catching only small fry, try outfitting yourself with better equipment to raise your **perception**.

1647	1666	Tool Mastery Points
1648	1667	Tool mastery missions are only available to those who have completed a cosmic tool. Unlike normal stellar missions, the aim is to achieve the highest possible score within an allotted time. These missions include multiple intermediate objectives whose completion bonuses include extension of the time limit, additional use of duty actions, and increased evaluation scores. **Tool mastery points** are granted upon completion of a tool mastery mission, in accordance with the final score. **Please refer to the Tool Mastery Points heading for more information.** Bring to bear your experience and expertise as a Disciple of the Hand or Land, and reach for the stars! ■Accepting Missions Tool mastery missions can be accepted via the Tool Mastery Missions tab of the Stellar Missions window. **This section will only be displayed on Auxesia.**
1649	1668	Tool mastery points are gained in accordance with scores from tool mastery missions and accumulate for each individual class. Total points will be displayed for each class, demonstrating your mastery with each tool. Reaching certain milestones with a specific class will grant achievements and, in some cases, titles. Current points can be checked via the mission selection list, or via an overview found in the tool mastery point section of the Cosmic Class Tracker, accessed from your exotablet. **Earn the achievements for all classes to obtain a special reward!**

1737	1756	Reaching an objective will result in the following kinds of changes: ・Time limit: 2:00 → 3:20 ・GP: 350/900 → 850/900 ** ※GP will not be restored beyond maximum. ** ・Duty action: 2/2 → 3/3 ・Score multiplier: 100% → 150% ■Tips The key to success is to **use duty actions to reach objectives** and achieve a higher score. When an objective is met, the score multiplier will increase, and each subsequent point will contribute more to the overall score. Once you can comfortably complete certain missions with a limited number of duty actions, it may be wise to save those actions to use ** once your score multiplier has increased**. This will allow you to increase your score more effectively. However, should you focus too much on keeping duty actions in reserve, you may fail to meet the objectives within the time limit. Striking the appropriate balance is essential! For Disciples of the Land, making effective use of your GP before reaching an objective will allow for more GP to be recovered, giving you more opportunity to achieve a higher score. If you are struggling to complete tool mastery missions or boost your score, try using medicines and meals for Disciples of the Hand and Land or reviewing your gear and materia. It is also important to consider **the actions you use and the order in which you use them**. ■Rewards Upon completion of a mission, you will receive tool mastery points in accordance with your score. Cosmic class score and contribution to the Starward Standings will also increase accordingly, up to a maximum amount granted per mission. Credits and exploration tokens are not impacted by score. ■Mission High Score A high score will be recorded for each tool mastery mission completed. High scores can be viewed on the mission selection screen. Retry missions and find ways to achieve a new high score on your path to earning the related achievements and titles! ■Bonuses Tool mastery missions marked with a symbol on the mission select screen will bestow a bonus, granting 1.2 times the standard amount of tool mastery points.
1738	1757	■Gold Count Completing or abandoning tool mastery missions will not affect your gold count.
1739	1758
1740	1759
1741	1760	■Requirements Tool mastery missions are only available on Auxesia when the cosmic tool of the corresponding class has been completed. ■Mission Progression There are **two different score objectives** in tool mastery missions. **You may choose to complete the mission at any point after reaching the first objective.** If, however, you wish to aim for a higher score, you can continue working towards the second. After reaching both the first and second objective, the mission will continue until the time runs out. During this remaining time, you can further increase your score. ■Completion Bonuses A bonus will be granted upon reaching the first and second objectives, with the following effects: ・Increased time limit ・Additional uses of the mission duty action ・GP recovery An extra 50% or 100% boost will also be added to the score multiplier, making it easier to achieve an even higher score. See below for an example completion bonus.
