*Found past Diaphanous Gadget #C in [[Sortie]]. Need a [[Ra'Kaznar Shard C|Ra'Kaznar Shard #C]] to access.
*Requires a [[Ra'Kaznar Metal C]] to limit its abilities {{verification}}.
**Having the metal appears to let you cleanse the Haunted effect by normal means ([[Holy Water]] or [[Cursna]]).
* Uses all [[Defiant]] abilities, including [[Cruel Joke]].
**Skomora's version of [[Cruel Joke]] inflicts [[Haunted]] rather than Doom, a stronger version of [[Curse]].
* Regurgitated Swarm wipes TP in an AoE.
* Feast of Arrows is an AoE [[Bind]] and [[Bio]].
* Last Laugh is rare, but apparently can be used.
* Setting The Stage is used every 3 minutes and deals ~30,000 divided by the number of targets in range.
:*Bypasses Scherzo and Migiwari, but is survivable with either [[Mana Wall]], [[Perfect Defense]], or [[Annuls Damage]] proc's.
* Is highly vulnerable to [[Stun]]. A [[Blue Mage]] using [[Thunderbolt]] under [[Unbridled Wisdom]] was able to keep Skomora stun-locked for the entire fight.

|Intro Text='''[[Vagary]]''', introduced in the March 26th, 2015 update[http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/46531?p=545503#post545503], is a type of battle content that pits pioneers against members of the Xol Triumvirate, sinister forces that made their first appearance in the Seekers of Adoulin mission storyline.

The primary rewards from [[Vagary]] are item level 119 equipment, the ability to begin reforging iLvl 119 [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +1]], the materials used to synthesize Superior 2 armor, and materials used to upgrade [[:Category:Reforged Empyrean Armor +1|Reforged Empyrean Armor]] to 119 as below.

As of the September 16th, 2015 update[http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/48564-Sep-16-2015-%28JST%29-Version-Update?p=560551&viewfull=1#post560551], a new system for acquiring rewards from Vagary was implemented. Players may now receive rewards by interacting with the odyssean passage located in Leafallia (H-8) when in possession of all five ''Fabricated Ward'' Key Items dropped from each of the five Mega Boss Notorious Monsters as detailed below.

:'''Note''': [[Vagary]] does not scale with participants unlike other events. Any amount of players results in the same stats and difficulty of the opponents.

==Getting Started==
====Eligibility Requirements====
*Have installed and registered the [[Seekers of Adoulin]] expansion.

*Be of level 95 or higher.

*Be in a party or alliance of between three and eighteen players.

*The party leader must have progressed beyond 5-3-2 in the [[:Category:Seekers of Adoulin Missions|Seekers of Adoulin mission]] storyline.
**Completed [[Seekers_of_Adoulin_Mission_5-3-2|Watery Grave]]. ''Party members other than the leader need not fulfill this prerequisite, but [[Seekers of Adoulin]] lore is deeply intertwined with Vagary content. Those who wish to enjoy the story without spoilers are advised to complete the missions first.''

*Only the party/alliance leader must be in possession of the requisite key item: [[Prototype sigil pearl]]

====Entry Key Items====
Players can obtain the necessary key items by trading vials of [[Befouled Water]] dropped by [[:Category:Fomor|Fomor]]s in [[Outer Ra'Kaznar]] and [[Ra'Kaznar Inner Court]] to the '''odyssean passage''' found in [[Leafallia]].
*The quickest ones to get to are taking the [[Augural Conveyor]] to [[Outer Ra'Kaznar]] then following the path to [[Ra'Kaznar Inner Court]].

====Entry Locations====
Players enter [[Vagary]] through various gates in [[Outer Ra'Kaznar]] that tie [[Ulbuka]] to the otherworldly location. There are three such gates, and the layout of the zone and the notorious monster of the triumvirate found within differ accordingly. 
'''''The key items required for entry are the same for all three gates.'''''

* [[:Category:Vagary#Deathborne_Gate:_Palloritus|Deathborne Gate]] is located at (M-7).

* [[:Category:Vagary#Duskbrood_Gate:_Putraxia|Duskbrood Gate]] is located at (N-6).

* [[:Category:Vagary#Brash_Gate:_Rancibus|Brash Gate]] is located at (N-7).

====Progression====
Vagary occurs in the instanced zone: [[Outer Ra'Kaznar (U)]]. There is a 45 minute time limit.

====Reward Redemption====
After obtaining the full set of Fabricated Ward Key Items:
*[[Fabricated ward of impurity]] (Putraxia)
*[[Fabricated ward of miasma]] (Rancibus)
*[[Fabricated ward of biting winds]] (Palloritus)
*[[Fabricated ward of ashen wings]] (Perfidien)
*[[Fabricated ward of the false king]] (Plouton)
Players can receive a reward by clicking on the '''Odyssean Passage''' in [[Leafallia]] (H-8) by trading the set of five Fabricated Wards in exchange for one of three choices: 
# The player may choose any piece of equipment that drops off of any monster in any Vagary zone, except for [[Tartarus Platemail]].
# The player may choose any synthesis or upgrade material that drops off of the Vagary Mega Boss Notorious Monsters, or an [[Etched Memory]].
# The player may receive a reward at random.
:::'''''This may be any piece of equipment, including [[Tartarus Platemail]], any Mega Boss material, as well as [[Codex of Etchings]] or an [[Etched Memory]].'''''

===Monthly Adventurer Campaigns===
There is one campaign that may run any given month.

===Duskbrood Gate: [[Image:Category-Macuil.jpg|50px|link=]] [[Putraxia]]===
[[File:Duskbrood.png|thumbnail|Map]]

This area contains many [[:Category:Elemental|elementals]]. Defeating each type of elemental will prevent [[Putraxia]] from absorbing the analogous type of elemental damage.
*Elementals will magic aggro and link.
*Defeating all elementals of a specific type will stop [[Putraxia]] from absorbing that type of elemental damage.
**It also prevents it from casting the related elemental magic. Highly recommended to kill all dark elementals (including the one next to where Putraxia spawns) to prevent the casting of [[Death]] as well as Fire and Thunder so that Scholar can use Fusion.

:'''''It currently seems to be completely random as to which column contains the NM wave.'''''

* '''Tier II NM:''' [[Brimboil]] It will split if it takes over a certain amount of damage(~3500) in a single hit. Each copy has less HP than the NM and but also splits in the same manner. Each will cast [[Meteor]] when the main Brimboil does. It is recommended that physical DDs auto-attack and don't use weapon skills and for magical DDs to use only low tier nukes.

After defeating Brimboil, six new columns will appear and, again, only one of the six contains the NM wave. However, now, each wave of amorphs is more populous. 
Upon activation of a pillar, the following messages will be displayed:
*"Fragments of scattered memories begin to coalesce!" means Rancibus will '''not''' spawn.
*"A thousand scattered memories begin to take shape!" means Rancibus will spawn at the start with the wave, or after a certain amount of waves have been cleared.

==Additional Notorious Monsters==

Two additional NMs may be spawned in any zone by fulfilling certain hidden objectives. When each objective is completed, the player who initially took the alliance into the zone will receive a message that their [[Prototype pearl of ashen wings]] or [[Prototype pearl of the false king]] has evolved. No other player will receive any indication that an objective has been completed.
* When all three objectives are completed, the NM will immediately spawn on the player who took the alliance into the zone, regardless of where the objective was completed.
* Both NMs may be alive at the same time.

If any player in the alliance dies at any point before the NMs spawn, it is no longer possible to spawn them on that run.
If any player in the alliance dies during the fight against either NMs, it will immediately Warp and it will no longer be possible to spawn either NM on that run.

[[Prototype pearl of ashen wings]] and [[Prototype pearl of the false king]] are not lost upon entry to the zone, only when their respective NMs spawn.
Only the player who initially took the alliance into the zone will have their prototype pearls consumed.

Each NM grants a 15-minute time extension upon defeat.

Shortly after reaching 90% HP, the NM will perform an {{icon|SP}} cloud animation and pick a random element to align to. Light and Dark will never be selected.
* The NM will absorb the aligned element, take 0 damage from the descendant element, and become highly resistant to all damage except the ascendant element, including physical damage.
* The color of the {{icon|SP}} cloud represents the element the NM is strong against. The correct element to use against the NM is '''two''' elements ascendant from the color of the cloud.
* If no elemental damage of the six primary elements (including Skillchain damage) is ever used against the NM, it will not gain damage resistance. '''The NMs may be defeated quickly by using only physical Weapon Skills which do not form Skillchains with each other.'''
* Dealing more than a very small amount of damage of the aligned element will trigger an [[Encumbrance]] effect on all players, making the fight much more difficult.
** The duration of the [[Encumbrance]] effect increases with the amount of HP the boss recovers from the elemental damage.
* Magic of the element the NM is weak to will proc {{Blue!}} and provide a message to everyone in the alliance informing them of the correct element.
* Performing a [[Skillchain]] of any level including the element the NM is weak to will proc {{Red!}} and grant a substantial magic damage bonus.
** Failing to do this within a certain period of time will cause the NM to Warp.
** Shortly after the Magic Burst window ends, or if the proc is not achieved within a short period of time, the boss will pick a new element and display another {{icon|SP}} cloud.

==Strategies==
See the [[:Category talk:Vagary|Vagary talk page]] for information on strategies.

==Alternative Battlefields==
In October 2018, new battlefields were added as an alternative means to unlock [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +1]] via [[Monisette]]. In these battlefields, players can face off directly against a Vagary boss of their choosing. These fights have no drops, as they are only meant for unlocking armor upgrades. Access requires completion of most of the [[Seekers_of_Adoulin_Missions|Seekers]] storyline.

The following battlefields have been added to [[Ra'Kaznar Turris]]:

*Vagary: [[Palloritus]] (Unlocks Head)
*Vagary: [[Plouton]] (Unlocks Body)
*Vagary: [[Putraxia]] (Unlocks Hands)
*Vagary: [[Perfidien]] (Unlocks Legs)
*Vagary: [[Rancibus]] (Unlocks Feet)

'''General Requirements:'''

*One to six players may take part in the battlefields.
*All party members must fulfill the necessary requirements and all must have the {{KI}} [[Prototype sigil pearl]].
*The {{KI}} [[Prototype sigil pearl]] is consumed upon entering the arena. It must be re-obtained in order to fight again.
**The key item may be obtained by trading a {{ItemIcon|Befouled Water|24px}} [[Befouled Water]] to the Odyssean Passage in [[Leafallia]].
***{{ItemIcon|Befouled Water|24px}} [[Befouled Water]] is dropped by Fomor enemies encountered in Inner and Outer Ra’Kaznar.

'''Mission Requirements:'''
*Putraxia / Rancibus / Pallitorus: [[Watery Grave]]
*Perfidien: [[Reckoning (Mission)]]
*Plouton: [[Abomination]]

'''Joining the Fray'''
To join a battlefield, inspect the '''Ominous Postern''' in the [[Ra'Kaznar Turris]] and select the battlefield of your choice.
*How to get to [[Ra'Kaznar Turris]]: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Seekers_of_Adoulin_Mission_5-2-2
**Alternatively, [[Home Point]] #1 in [[Ra'Kaznar Inner Court]]

A time limit of 30 minutes (Earth time) is in place for the battle.
After the battle, you will receive a title befitting your victory.

*These battlefields will not grant experience points, capacity points, or treasure.
*These battlefields will not count toward the Vagary objective for Records of Eminence.
*These battlefields '''can''' be used to learn Blue Magic spells. ([[Cruel Joke]] from [[Palloritus]], [[Cesspool]] from [[Rancibus]] and [[Tearing Gust]] from [[Putraxia]])

Rhujaa:

==Solo==
Easy solo for SCH, tested with trusts for safety. Used same strat as soloing VE/E Lady Lilith, meaning solo Fusion SC and apply [[Pyrohelix II]] and [[Fire V]] MB. Played it safe and was around 4 minutes kill. Never any danger.
ML 21. [[User:Joso33|Joso33]] ([[User talk:Joso33|talk]]) 09:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
----
Easy solo for RNG/NIN with Trusts.

Difficult Solo for RNG/NIN without Trusts. 
<youtube>qHpWqmtPvT8</youtube> 
--[[User:Resetti|Resetti]] ([[User talk:Resetti|talk]]) 5:20, 5 March 2020 (CST)
----
Quick and easy solo spam for non-REMA master BLU/WAR with trusts. 

Strictly DD spell set and TP gear. Don't need a hybrid set or defensive spells aside from cocoon. Trusts used: Ulmia, Joachim, Koru-Moru, Apururu, and Kupipi. 

Buff up, pop her, engage, wait until you start auto attacking, then immediately Sudden Lunge her and start spamming Chant du Cygne for self-light skillchains. Wait until she's no longer stunned before Sudden Lunging her again or else you'll risk sluggish DPS and/or Sudden Lunge being on cooldown while she uses TP moves. Continue spamming CDC and intermittently stunning her until dead to quickly farm your earring(s). [[User:Vigilace|Vigilace]] ([[User talk:Vigilace|talk]]) 15:11, 6 April 2020 (EDT)
----
*Used the above mentioned BLU & trusts strategy. Didn't work nearly as well as laid out, but did suffice for stopping TP moves before going off.
**Used an all-out DPS spell set.
**Trusts used: Monberoux (Status Heals & Cover), Valaineral & AAEV (Post-PLD Trust update Curing & Semi-Tanking), Ulmia (Songs), and King of Hearts (Extra Heals and additional Firaga MB's).
*'''Key Point: Slam Antidotes when Celine gets off a Bad Breathe. The Paralysis is weak and barely procs.'''
**Poison is the most dangerous part of the fight. If Celine gains a Poison aura mid-fight, this will block the 200/tic HP Poison effect from Bad Breath. Take advantage of this period and push as much DPS as possible.
:--[[User:Brahmsz|Brahmsz]] ([[User talk:Brahmsz|talk]]) 18:04, 25 November 2021 (EST)
----
*Also tried using above BLU set up and didn't go well at all on any attempt. Swapped to PLD and have been soloing it as PLD/WAR with ease. ML19 PLD wearing unaugmented Sakpata with Naegling and Priwen. I used all passive geo trusts since they die to the first bad breath so early in the fight I figure something is better than nothing. Not very fast, takes 7-10 minutes depending on how much CC spams at low health. I use anywhere from 4-12 Remedies a fight.
:--[[User:Caseus|Caseus]] ([[User talk:Caseus|talk]]) 15:37, 26 June 2025 (EST)

== Sweet Breath isn't a conal? ==

I've been running this with a group of people, we've been getting hit with sweet breath from behind celine. Testing implies that it's a 15 yalm circular AOE. can anyone confirm? [[User:Arkevorkhat|Arkevorkhat]] ([[User talk:Arkevorkhat|talk]]) 04:46, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

I second this, I had hate, was turned away from my trusts, and this hit all of us.

I can add a third testimony to this. Sweet Breath and Bad Breath are both hitting my group, even behind.

|Intro Text='''Abyssea''' is a set of areas of a parallel Vana'diel that was released as part of three expansion scenarios.

In this world, the beastmen have won the Crystal War and many of the citizens of Vana'diel have been slaughtered while others were chased out of their cities to find refuge at small campsites with little hope for a bright future.

The nine field areas of Abyssea are teeming with dozens of different types of monsters. It is a source of a multitude of end-game armor, the best method of gaining experience points at higher levels, and can be used in other ways as well, such as for item and gil farming.

If you're new to this event, refer to the [[Abyssea Guide]] for starter information.
|Secondary Text={{Abyssea Navigation}}
}}

== Getting Started==
To begin the Abyssea storyline, you must zone into [[Port Jeuno]] on a level 30+ job. A cutscene will play, and the quest [[A Journey Begins]] will be flagged in your log. This is the first quest in the Abyssea storyline.

See the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] page to see the entire quest progression for Abyssea. Alternatively, there is an '''[[Abyssea Guide]]''' on the wiki that may prove useful instead.

== How to Enter ==
Entrance to Abyssea is gained via teleporting through a Cavernous Maw. Each of the nine Abyssea zones has its own entrance. In order to enter, players must possess one or more {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s. Traverser stones can be acquired from the Abyssea Service NPCs listed below. [[Joachim]] in [[Port Jeuno]] (H-8) is the main Abyssea Service NPC, and you can only progress through the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] through him. After completing the quest [[The Truth Beckons]], which is "Quest 2" in the Abyssea storyline, players begin accumulating {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s.

===Abyssea Service NPCs===
The following NPCs will dispense {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s to you, and explain Abyssea.

Only [[Joachim]] can progress the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]].

== Basics ==
=== Lights ===
When a monster is defeated or a Red Sturdy Pyxis is opened, a player may receive a message about his or her body is aglow with a certain light. Each light has a different effect as listed below. Certain monsters cannot yield certain color lights, and certain monsters ("Ephemeral" monsters) can randomly yield significantly higher values of a specific color of light (2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x). NMs yield lights in higher quantities than normal monsters, typically double. Note that if a monster can yield ruby, azure, or amber light, and the proper final blow is dealt, the light is guaranteed. However, even if a monster can yield pearlescent light and is killed with a melee attack or one of the other pearlescent final blows, pearlescent light is NOT guaranteed unless the monster was a notorious monster.

'''Bolded quests''' are the Abyssea zone quests that are also mission objectives.

"{{color|red|*}}" denotes that the quest is considered the Quick Fame Quest for that zone.

== Notorious Monsters ==

One of the important features of Notorious Monsters in Abyssea is the ability to stagger them with certain types of attacks. When you stagger a monster, it prevents it from performing certain actions or doing anything at all for a short period of time.

When a monster is staggered, there will be a message displayed in the chat log, along with two large exclamation points that will appear over the mob. The color of the exclamation points will represent the type of effect that was triggered, and have benefits beyond stopping the mob from performing certain actions.

Staggering a monster more than once with the same type of weakness is not recommended- the method will become less effective with each successive use (stagger duration will decrease and influence on drops will be reduced) and can eventually cause the monster to go into Raged mode.

Please note that NM weaknesses cannot be triggered while they are casting a spell, stunned or readying/using a TP ability (this also applies to "normal attacks" that are considered TP moves).

=== Yellow {{Green!}} ===

A pair of yellow exclamation points means that a spell has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to cast spells for a short period of time. The elements of the spell that can cause this effect are determined by the day of the week that the monster was either claimed (for free roaming NMs) or was spawned (for forced popped NMs); specific spells representing the element of the day of the week, the day before, and the day after can cause the effect (at any given time there are 21 potential spells). The spells on the following list are the only spells that will trigger the yellow effect, and are ordered by the days of the Vana'diel week.

* A BLM/BRD has access to the widest variety of Yellow spells (35 out of 56), lacking only Divine (5), Enfeebling (1), Blue (8), and Ninjutsu (7).
* A BLU/NIN gives the party access to another 15 spells.
* The last 6 can be cast by a WHM/RDM or WHM/SCH.
* Keep an eye out for the [[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]] as the [[Kupon I-Seal]] item can be traded for all the seals needed to upgrade Empyrean from base to +1
** This heavily expedites the upgrading process of Empyrean armors as you can bypass the time it takes to farm them up with or without proccing Yellow, and go straight from +1 into Reforged Empyrean 109 gear

The additional effect of triggering the Yellow !! is that monsters will drop more upgrade items for [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] as well as more potential crafting materials or spell scrolls from monsters which do not drop Empyrean Armor upgrade items.
*'''Note:''' A popular alternative to farming individual [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] upgrade seals is to instead wait for "[[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]]" to appear during the monthly rotating [[Adventurer Campaigns]]. This event allows players to obtain [[Kupon I-Seal]]s ''en masse''. These seals are tradable for an entire set of the required amount of Abyssea seals to fully upgrade one piece of gear. This saves a massive amount of time, so it is recommended to stockpile these seals when this campaign is active.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific Spell. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Spell matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== Blue {{Blue!}} ===
A pair of blue exclamation points means that a physical weapon skill has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to use TP moves for a short period of time. The time of day that a monster was claimed or force-spawned will determine which types of weapon skill can stagger the monster- from 6:00 to 14:00 for piercing weapons, from 14:00 to 22:00 for slashing, and from 22:00 to 6:00 for blunt. The following weapon skills are the only weapon skills that will trigger the blue effect.

The additional effect of triggering Blue !! is that monsters have a greater chance of dropping their rare loot.

** Good article of weapon choices, especially Level 1 ALL class weapons for things NIN cannot normally wear: [[https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/User:Arkevorkhat/Solo_Abyssea_Red_Proc_Guide]]

The additional effect of triggering Red !! is that monsters are guaranteed to bestow their [[:Category:Abyssea Atma|Atma]], if they have one, to all of the members in the alliance provided that the person who triggered the effect is still in the alliance and in the zone. In addition, this proc will guarantee the receipt of a key item used to pop further Notorious Monsters, if the monster can drop one, '''''only to the person who claimed or force-popped the monster'''''.

*'''Note''': Triggering Red !! any additional times after the initial Trigger will decrease the chance of KI and Atma dropping from the NM. After Triggering Red !! for the first time, it is recommend to avoid use of that Weapon Skill to ensure you do not lose your guaranteed KI and Atma drops.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== [[Abyssite of discernment]] ===
When a player is in possession of [[Abyssite of discernment]], he/she will receive messages to help to find out what will trigger the various stagger effects after performing similar actions. The player may receive a message depending on the action: casting magic on the mob may give a message about the element of the yellow stagger, using an elemental weapon skill may give a message about the element of the red stagger, and using a physical weapon skill may give a message about the type of weapon for the blue stagger.

== Colored Abyssite and Atma ==
See [[:Category:Abyssea_Abyssite|Abyssea Abyssite]] category for more details.

See [[:Category:Abyssea_Atma|Abyssea Atma]] category for more details.

== Goal Tracking ==
You have freedom over your actions within Abyssea. There is no specific objective to accomplish once inside.
However, the game suggests three primary objectives, as follows:

* Complete all quests in the area. (Reward: 8,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Ancient Abyssite in this area. (Reward: 10,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Atma available in this area. (Reward: 12,000 Cruor)

[[Goal Tracker NPC]] exist in each zone that provide a register of your progress with the above goals and rewards on completion of goal requirements. The completion of all three requirements for a given zone will also award the following [[Title|Titles]]:

|Intro Text='''Abyssea''' is a set of areas of a parallel Vana'diel that was released as part of three expansion scenarios.

In this world, the beastmen have won the Crystal War and many of the citizens of Vana'diel have been slaughtered while others were chased out of their cities to find refuge at small campsites with little hope for a bright future.

The nine field areas of Abyssea are teeming with dozens of different types of monsters. It is a source of a multitude of end-game armor, the best method of gaining experience points at higher levels, and can be used in other ways as well, such as for item and gil farming.

If you're new to this event, refer to the [[Abyssea Guide]] for starter information.
|Secondary Text={{Abyssea Navigation}}
}}

== Getting Started==
To begin the Abyssea storyline, you must zone into [[Port Jeuno]] on a level 30+ job. A cutscene will play, and the quest [[A Journey Begins]] will be flagged in your log. This is the first quest in the Abyssea storyline.

See the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] page to see the entire quest progression for Abyssea. Alternatively, there is an '''[[Abyssea Guide]]''' on the wiki that may prove useful instead.

== How to Enter ==
Entrance to Abyssea is gained via teleporting through a Cavernous Maw. Each of the nine Abyssea zones has its own entrance. In order to enter, players must possess one or more {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s. Traverser stones can be acquired from the Abyssea Service NPCs listed below. [[Joachim]] in [[Port Jeuno]] (H-8) is the main Abyssea Service NPC, and you can only progress through the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] through him. After completing the quest [[The Truth Beckons]], which is "Quest 2" in the Abyssea storyline, players begin accumulating {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s.

===Abyssea Service NPCs===
The following NPCs will dispense {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s to you, and explain Abyssea.

Only [[Joachim]] can progress the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]].

*{{KI}} [[Vermillion abyssite of avarice]]
*{{KI}} [[Viridian abyssite of avarice]]
*{{KI}} [[Ivory abyssite of avarice]]

*{{KI}} [[Azure abyssite of celerity]]
*{{KI}} [[Crimson abyssite of celerity]]
*{{KI}} [[Ivory abyssite of celerity]]

Time in Abyssea can be extended by high-level Blue Sturdy Pyxides which will provide 10 minutes per box unlocked.

== Basics ==
=== Lights ===
When a monster is defeated or a Red Sturdy Pyxis is opened, a player may receive a message about his or her body is aglow with a certain light. Each light has a different effect as listed below. Certain monsters cannot yield certain color lights, and certain monsters ("Ephemeral" monsters) can randomly yield significantly higher values of a specific color of light (2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x). NMs yield lights in higher quantities than normal monsters, typically double. Note that if a monster can yield ruby, azure, or amber light, and the proper final blow is dealt, the light is guaranteed. However, even if a monster can yield pearlescent light and is killed with a melee attack or one of the other pearlescent final blows, pearlescent light is NOT guaranteed unless the monster was a notorious monster.

'''Bolded quests''' are the Abyssea zone quests that are also mission objectives.

"{{color|red|*}}" denotes that the quest is considered the Quick Fame Quest for that zone.

== Notorious Monsters ==

One of the important features of Notorious Monsters in Abyssea is the ability to stagger them with certain types of attacks. When you stagger a monster, it prevents it from performing certain actions or doing anything at all for a short period of time.

When a monster is staggered, there will be a message displayed in the chat log, along with two large exclamation points that will appear over the mob. The color of the exclamation points will represent the type of effect that was triggered, and have benefits beyond stopping the mob from performing certain actions.

Staggering a monster more than once with the same type of weakness is not recommended- the method will become less effective with each successive use (stagger duration will decrease and influence on drops will be reduced) and can eventually cause the monster to go into Raged mode.

Please note that NM weaknesses cannot be triggered while they are casting a spell, stunned or readying/using a TP ability (this also applies to "normal attacks" that are considered TP moves).

=== Yellow {{Green!}} ===

A pair of yellow exclamation points means that a spell has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to cast spells for a short period of time. The elements of the spell that can cause this effect are determined by the day of the week that the monster was either claimed (for free roaming NMs) or was spawned (for forced popped NMs); specific spells representing the element of the day of the week, the day before, and the day after can cause the effect (at any given time there are 21 potential spells). The spells on the following list are the only spells that will trigger the yellow effect, and are ordered by the days of the Vana'diel week.
* '''Note (Added 2025.06.22)''': This information needs verification and seems to be out-of-date. Source: Was fighting monsters in Abyssea on Watersday and had to use different elements throughout the day to get yellow procs.

* A BLM/BRD has access to the widest variety of Yellow spells (35 out of 56), lacking only Divine (5), Enfeebling (1), Blue (8), and Ninjutsu (7).
* A BLU/NIN gives the party access to another 15 spells.
* The last 6 can be cast by a WHM/RDM or WHM/SCH.
* Keep an eye out for the [[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]] as the [[Kupon I-Seal]] item can be traded for all the seals needed to upgrade Empyrean from base to +1
** This heavily expedites the upgrading process of Empyrean armors as you can bypass the time it takes to farm them up with or without proccing Yellow, and go straight from +1 into Reforged Empyrean 109 gear

The additional effect of triggering the Yellow !! is that monsters will drop more upgrade items for [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] as well as more potential crafting materials or spell scrolls from monsters which do not drop Empyrean Armor upgrade items.
*'''Note:''' A popular alternative to farming individual [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] upgrade seals is to instead wait for "[[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]]" to appear during the monthly rotating [[Adventurer Campaigns]]. This event allows players to obtain [[Kupon I-Seal]]s ''en masse''. These seals are tradable for an entire set of the required amount of Abyssea seals to fully upgrade one piece of gear. This saves a massive amount of time, so it is recommended to stockpile these seals when this campaign is active.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific Spell. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Spell matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== Blue {{Blue!}} ===
A pair of blue exclamation points means that a physical weapon skill has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to use TP moves for a short period of time. The time of day that a monster was claimed or force-spawned will determine which types of weapon skill can stagger the monster- from 6:00 to 14:00 for piercing weapons, from 14:00 to 22:00 for slashing, and from 22:00 to 6:00 for blunt. The following weapon skills are the only weapon skills that will trigger the blue effect.

* A Monk can use all Blunt-type weaponskills except for Judgment and Hexa Strike to proc Blue between in-game hours 22:00 - 6:00
** A MNK with a subjob of WAR, WHM, PLD, DRK, SAM, BLU, or GEO can use Judgment.
** This provides a 93% chance of hitting Blue proc, with a 7% chance of it being Hexa Strike and something the MNK cannot hit.

The additional effect of triggering Blue !! is that monsters have a greater chance of dropping their rare loot.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the time period has a chance to trigger.

* WAR/NIN and NIN/WAR have access to all 13 weapon skills
** Good article of weapon choices, especially Level 1 ALL class weapons for things NIN cannot normally wear: [[https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/User:Arkevorkhat/Solo_Abyssea_Red_Proc_Guide]]

The additional effect of triggering Red !! is that monsters are guaranteed to bestow their [[:Category:Abyssea Atma|Atma]], if they have one, to all of the members in the alliance provided that the person who triggered the effect is still in the alliance and in the zone. In addition, this proc will guarantee the receipt of a key item used to pop further Notorious Monsters, if the monster can drop one, '''''only to the person who claimed or force-popped the monster'''''.

*'''Note''': Triggering Red !! any additional times after the initial Trigger will decrease the chance of KI and Atma dropping from the NM. After Triggering Red !! for the first time, it is recommend to avoid use of that Weapon Skill to ensure you do not lose your guaranteed KI and Atma drops.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== [[Abyssite of discernment]] ===
When a player is in possession of [[Abyssite of discernment]], he/she will receive messages to help to find out what will trigger the various stagger effects after performing similar actions. The player may receive a message depending on the action: casting magic on the mob may give a message about the element of the yellow stagger, using an elemental weapon skill may give a message about the element of the red stagger, and using a physical weapon skill may give a message about the type of weapon for the blue stagger.

== Colored Abyssite and Atma ==
See [[:Category:Abyssea_Abyssite|Abyssea Abyssite]] category for more details.

See [[:Category:Abyssea_Atma|Abyssea Atma]] category for more details.

== Goal Tracking ==
You have freedom over your actions within Abyssea. There is no specific objective to accomplish once inside.
However, the game suggests three primary objectives, as follows:

* Complete all quests in the area. (Reward: 8,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Ancient Abyssite in this area. (Reward: 10,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Atma available in this area. (Reward: 12,000 Cruor)

[[Goal Tracker NPC]] exist in each zone that provide a register of your progress with the above goals and rewards on completion of goal requirements. The completion of all three requirements for a given zone will also award the following [[Title|Titles]]:

|Intro Text='''Abyssea''' is a set of areas of a parallel Vana'diel that was released as part of three expansion scenarios.

In this world, the beastmen have won the Crystal War and many of the citizens of Vana'diel have been slaughtered while others were chased out of their cities to find refuge at small campsites with little hope for a bright future.

The nine field areas of Abyssea are teeming with dozens of different types of monsters. It is a source of a multitude of end-game armor, the best method of gaining experience points at higher levels, and can be used in other ways as well, such as for item and gil farming.

If you're new to this event, refer to the [[Abyssea Guide]] for starter information.
|Secondary Text={{Abyssea Navigation}}
}}

== Getting Started==
To begin the Abyssea storyline, you must zone into [[Port Jeuno]] on a level 30+ job. A cutscene will play, and the quest [[A Journey Begins]] will be flagged in your log. This is the first quest in the Abyssea storyline.

See the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] page to see the entire quest progression for Abyssea. Alternatively, there is an '''[[Abyssea Guide]]''' on the wiki that may prove useful instead.

== How to Enter ==
Entrance to Abyssea is gained via teleporting through a Cavernous Maw. Each of the nine Abyssea zones has its own entrance. In order to enter, players must possess one or more {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s. Traverser stones can be acquired from the Abyssea Service NPCs listed below. [[Joachim]] in [[Port Jeuno]] (H-8) is the main Abyssea Service NPC, and you can only progress through the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] through him. After completing the quest [[The Truth Beckons]], which is "Quest 2" in the Abyssea storyline, players begin accumulating {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s.

===Abyssea Service NPCs===
The following NPCs will dispense {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s to you, and explain Abyssea.

Only [[Joachim]] can progress the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]].

== Basics ==
=== Lights ===
When a monster is defeated or a Red Sturdy Pyxis is opened, a player may receive a message about his or her body is aglow with a certain light. Each light has a different effect as listed below. Certain monsters cannot yield certain color lights, and certain monsters ("Ephemeral" monsters) can randomly yield significantly higher values of a specific color of light (2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x). NMs yield lights in higher quantities than normal monsters, typically double. Note that if a monster can yield ruby, azure, or amber light, and the proper final blow is dealt, the light is guaranteed. However, even if a monster can yield pearlescent light and is killed with a melee attack or one of the other pearlescent final blows, pearlescent light is NOT guaranteed unless the monster was a notorious monster.

'''Bolded quests''' are the Abyssea zone quests that are also mission objectives.

"{{color|red|*}}" denotes that the quest is considered the Quick Fame Quest for that zone.

== Notorious Monsters ==

One of the important features of Notorious Monsters in Abyssea is the ability to stagger them with certain types of attacks. When you stagger a monster, it prevents it from performing certain actions or doing anything at all for a short period of time.

When a monster is staggered, there will be a message displayed in the chat log, along with two large exclamation points that will appear over the mob. The color of the exclamation points will represent the type of effect that was triggered, and have benefits beyond stopping the mob from performing certain actions.

Staggering a monster more than once with the same type of weakness is not recommended- the method will become less effective with each successive use (stagger duration will decrease and influence on drops will be reduced) and can eventually cause the monster to go into Raged mode.

Please note that NM weaknesses cannot be triggered while they are casting a spell, stunned or readying/using a TP ability (this also applies to "normal attacks" that are considered TP moves).

A pair of yellow exclamation points means that a spell has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to cast spells for a short period of time. The elements of the spell that can cause this effect are determined by the day of the week that the monster was either claimed (for free roaming NMs) or was spawned (for forced popped NMs); specific spells representing the element of the day of the week, the day before, and the day after can cause the effect (at any given time there are 21 potential spells). The spells on the following list are the only spells that will trigger the yellow effect, and are ordered by the days of the Vana'diel week.
* '''Note (Added 2025.06.22)''': This information needs verification and seems to be out-of-date. I was fighting monsters in Abyssea on Watersday and had to use different elements throughout the day to get yellow procs.

* A BLM/BRD has access to the widest variety of Yellow spells (35 out of 56), lacking only Divine (5), Enfeebling (1), Blue (8), and Ninjutsu (7).
* A BLU/NIN gives the party access to another 15 spells.
* The last 6 can be cast by a WHM/RDM or WHM/SCH.
* Keep an eye out for the [[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]] as the [[Kupon I-Seal]] item can be traded for all the seals needed to upgrade Empyrean from base to +1
** This heavily expedites the upgrading process of Empyrean armors as you can bypass the time it takes to farm them up with or without proccing Yellow, and go straight from +1 into Reforged Empyrean 109 gear

The additional effect of triggering the Yellow !! is that monsters will drop more upgrade items for [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] as well as more potential crafting materials or spell scrolls from monsters which do not drop Empyrean Armor upgrade items.
*'''Note:''' A popular alternative to farming individual [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] upgrade seals is to instead wait for "[[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]]" to appear during the monthly rotating [[Adventurer Campaigns]]. This event allows players to obtain [[Kupon I-Seal]]s ''en masse''. These seals are tradable for an entire set of the required amount of Abyssea seals to fully upgrade one piece of gear. This saves a massive amount of time, so it is recommended to stockpile these seals when this campaign is active.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific Spell. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Spell matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== Blue {{Blue!}} ===
A pair of blue exclamation points means that a physical weapon skill has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to use TP moves for a short period of time. The time of day that a monster was claimed or force-spawned will determine which types of weapon skill can stagger the monster- from 6:00 to 14:00 for piercing weapons, from 14:00 to 22:00 for slashing, and from 22:00 to 6:00 for blunt. The following weapon skills are the only weapon skills that will trigger the blue effect.

* A Monk can use all Blunt-type weaponskills except for Judgment and Hexa Strike to proc Blue between in-game hours 22:00 - 6:00
** A MNK with a subjob of WAR, WHM, PLD, DRK, SAM, BLU, or GEO can use Judgment.
** This provides a 93% chance of hitting Blue proc, with a 7% chance of it being Hexa Strike and something the MNK cannot hit.

The additional effect of triggering Blue !! is that monsters have a greater chance of dropping their rare loot.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the time period has a chance to trigger.

=== Red {{Red!}} ===
A pair of red exclamation points means that an elemental weapon skill has staggered the monster. The immediate effect on the monster is that it will be will be completely stopped and unable to perform any actions for a short period of time.

* WAR/NIN and NIN/WAR have access to all 13 weapon skills
** Good article of weapon choices, especially Level 1 ALL class weapons for things NIN cannot normally wear: [[https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/User:Arkevorkhat/Solo_Abyssea_Red_Proc_Guide]]

The additional effect of triggering Red !! is that monsters are guaranteed to bestow their [[:Category:Abyssea Atma|Atma]], if they have one, to all of the members in the alliance provided that the person who triggered the effect is still in the alliance and in the zone. In addition, this proc will guarantee the receipt of a key item used to pop further Notorious Monsters, if the monster can drop one, '''''only to the person who claimed or force-popped the monster'''''.

*'''Note''': Triggering Red !! any additional times after the initial Trigger will decrease the chance of KI and Atma dropping from the NM. After Triggering Red !! for the first time, it is recommend to avoid use of that Weapon Skill to ensure you do not lose your guaranteed KI and Atma drops.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== [[Abyssite of discernment]] ===
When a player is in possession of [[Abyssite of discernment]], he/she will receive messages to help to find out what will trigger the various stagger effects after performing similar actions. The player may receive a message depending on the action: casting magic on the mob may give a message about the element of the yellow stagger, using an elemental weapon skill may give a message about the element of the red stagger, and using a physical weapon skill may give a message about the type of weapon for the blue stagger.

== Colored Abyssite and Atma ==
See [[:Category:Abyssea_Abyssite|Abyssea Abyssite]] category for more details.

See [[:Category:Abyssea_Atma|Abyssea Atma]] category for more details.

== Goal Tracking ==
You have freedom over your actions within Abyssea. There is no specific objective to accomplish once inside.
However, the game suggests three primary objectives, as follows:

* Complete all quests in the area. (Reward: 8,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Ancient Abyssite in this area. (Reward: 10,000 Cruor)
* Obtain every Atma available in this area. (Reward: 12,000 Cruor)

[[Goal Tracker NPC]] exist in each zone that provide a register of your progress with the above goals and rewards on completion of goal requirements. The completion of all three requirements for a given zone will also award the following [[Title|Titles]]:

Rhujaa:

*Under certain conditions using [[Wind]] or [[Fire]] based attacks seemed to deal more damage.
*Potted Plant may have AE [[Bind]]. Also something was giving AoE [[Doom]].
*Firefly Fandango may have [[Paralyze]], [[Max MP Down]], and [[Flash]]'''Tsuzee
*Seems to gain its [[Regen]] aura after using Uproot.

During LS run tonight I tried both alternating Aero I-III and spamming Aero I. Aero I spam seemed to remove the aura faster. The Aero I spam also seemed to proc a blue !! when the shield was removed. Will get harder evidence in the coming days before confirming.

Duo'ed Yumcax down with trusts but it was rough. I don't recommend our method but wanted to detail things we experienced, because I couldn't find much information about this thing. I recommend finding a group of players to do this with.
* Trusts died to [[Doom]] every time. They are not reliable teammates for this fight. Ingrid survived sometimes but it was inconsistent.
* Went through almost 2 stacks of holy water trying to stay alive through Doom. More than this would be recommended for a full fight start-end.
* Used [[Reraise]] to get back up after wiping and try again, since it's health doesn't reset. We had to do this several times.
* Seemed to use Tiiimber (the ability that applies Doom) more often under 50% health.
* The fight itself (when alive) was not horribly long. Reraising/resting over and over took the most of our time.
