CatsEyeXI Content/Stronghold

A reimagined Stronghold Invasion system is now available on CatsEyeXI, blending classic fights from WotG-era FFXI with elements of the Summit of the Stars competition! Eight beastman champions dwell in each of the strongholds of the Shadowreign, building their strength in secret as they draw power from Nyx Animus. Each of these NMs holds a sealed container that could hold the key to advancing further into the strongholds. In order to draw out these NMs, the Summit Warden (Windurst Waters (S) (E-8)) provides artifacts in exchange for specific synthesized items and Activity Points. The artifacts hold the power to entice each champion of Nyx to appear... or, to incite its anger so fiercely that it cannot ignore your trespass. When defeated, each of these NMs drops a sealed container, which can be exchanged for key items essential for accessing Stronghold Battlefields (SCNM). Clearing these SCNMs awards players pieces of Summit Armor as well as materials for augmenting and upgrading that armor. Alongside Stronghold Invasion, a new system of rotating world bosses has been introduced: Rift Battles. These fights grant Activity Points, Obsidian Fragments, crafting materials, and other rewards, as well as a chance to interact with the Summit Smelter and upgrade your new Apex/Pinnacle/Apogee equipment.

Participation Requirements

The only requirement is to unlock Summit of the Stars.

Note that you may still participate in various battles even without Summit of the Stars access, however you won't get all the benefits

• Stronghold NMs: Cannot spawn (it requires activity points from SOTS to get the artifacts), but can participate and loot
• SCNMs: Can participate and loot
• Rift Bosses: Can participate but don't get any reward
• You can't upgrade armors (it requires activity points from SOTS)

After that, this is a multi-step process:

1. Trade the required crafted items to the Summit Warden at Windurst Waters (S) (E-8) to obtain Artifacts (see Artifacts and Sealed Containers)
2. Spawn the Stronghold NMs with the Artifacts to obtain a Sealed Container (see Artifacts and Sealed Containers)
3. Trade the Sealed Containers to the campaign NPCs (see Artifacts and Sealed Containers)
4. Once you have all 8 key items for a particular zone, enter the corresponding BCNM to obtain base Summit armors, upgrade Apex Token

   (see Augment Process)

Note that you can participate to Rift Battles to obtain Summit Strongbox and Summit Strongbox +1 which contain base materials for the required crafted items for Artifacts.

Artifacts and Sealed Containers

The Summit Warden at Windurst Waters (S) (E-8) provides artifacts in exchange for specific synthesized items, plus 2,000 Activity Points each. The artifacts hold the power to draw out each champion of Nyx, either by enticing it or by enraging it. You may obtain information about artifacts in game with the !artifacts command.

• Winning Rift Battles also has a chance to give each participant a random Artifact.
• Winning an SCNM will give all eight artifacts for that zone upon victory to the person who initiated the fight, and 4 random artifacts for all other participants.

Each champion will drop a Sealed Container which can be exchanged for their corresponding SCNM Key Item at the following NPCs:

• Lurouillat- Southern San d'Oria (S) (J-9)
• Kevan- Bastok Markets (S) (F-9)
• Pogigi- Windurst Waters (S) (G-7)

Alternatively, you can trade the Sealed Container to the Summit Warden in exchange for an Apex, Pinnacle, or Apogee token of your choice.

When crafting items to give to the Summit Warden, keep in mind that Ygnas in Ru'Lude Gardens sells various ingredients for these in exchange for Activity Points.

Rift Battles

Rifts are regions in space where the barrier between Vana'diel and Nyx Animus's extraplanar prison have begun to tear. Rifts appear every 6-7 hours in either Batallia Downs (S), Sauromugue Champaign (S) or Rolanberry Fields (S). The appearance of a Rift will be announced in Unity Chat. After it appears, a Rift will remain idle for 10 minutes; after that time has passed, the first adventurer to trigger the Rift will spawn a World Boss. Either King Za'Dha, Tzee Xicu, Lord Bakgodek or Nyx Animus will emerge from the Rift for adventures to battle.

All players and game modes can join the fight, and receive rewards as long as they have completed the initial Summit of the Stars quest.

Defeating King Za'Dha, Tzee Xicu, Lord Bakgodek will reward players with 500 Activity Points, a Summit Strongbox, and a 25% chance to get a random artifact from that boss's stronghold.

Defeating Nyx Animus will reward players with 1500 Activity Points, a Summit Strongbox +1, and a 100% chance to get a random artifact from any stronghold. However, it's possible to roll a duplicate artifact, and you can only hold one of each at a time. Defeating Nyx will also summon the Summit Smelter, allowing players to augment their gear up to their weekly cap. The Smelter returns to Leafallia after 10 minutes.

Additionally, each time the global total of Activity Points earned by all linkshells reaches a multiple of 2,000,000 (e.g. 4 million, 6 million), a Rift will appear that is guaranteed to spawn Nyx Animus.

The contents of Summit Strongboxes are materials which are used in the creation of Artifact items.

Summit Armor

Base Armor

Dropped in the Stronghold Battlefields.
Unused Summit armors can be traded to Garbagio for most likely a memory (e.g. burning, fleeting, etc), but a small chance at the matching token, and a very small chance at an ascension stone ; but don't forget that you can have multiple copies of the same armor with different augments.

Augment Process

Each piece of the Summit Armor sets may be augmented with three different effects. These effects can be upgraded 5 times to their max strength. Adding a new augment to a piece of equipment costs a significant amount of Activity Points. Upgrading an augment requires Ascension Stones, but a much smaller Activity Points cost.

Ascension Stones may be obtained:

• in Stronghold Battlefields
• by trading 12 of each type of token (12 Apex Token
  Apex Token
  

  A token bestowed upon those who have reached the apex of their journey. Used to upgrade Apex armor.
  , 12 Apogee Token

  A token representing the zenith of achievement. Used to upgrade Apogee armor.
  , and 12 Pinnacle Token
  Pinnacle Token
  

  A commemorative token awarded to hunters who mastered their craft. Used to upgrade Apex armor.
  ) to a synergy furnace
• by trading unused Summit armors to Garbagio (very low chance)

Players may add or upgrade up to 3 augments per week. However, members of linkshells who have performed well in the previous week's Summit Leader board will be rewarded with extra augment opportunities. Members of the first place Linkshell will be able to Augment up to 6 times, with the members of the 2nd to 5th place Linkshells being able to augment 4 times.

Players must trade their armour & required items to the Summit Smelter, either in Leafallia or during the 10 minutes after a Rift Nyx Animus is defeated. If the player has enough stored activity points, the Smelter will proceed with the augment.

Available Augments

Note: Some augments are only usable by one job, such as "Retaliation" for warrior level 60+. In these cases, the augment will not be an available option for an armor set that is not wearable by that job. You can't get Retaliation+ on the Apogee set, since it would not be usable.

Augment Notes

1. ^ Extra dual wield attack: When you are dual-wielding, this is equivalent to Double Attack and stacks additively with it.
2. ^ Dead Aim: Ranged critical hit damage bonus.
3. ^ Berserk: When you use Berserk, this augment increases attack percentage by x%, and reduces defense percentage by x%. At full augment, this makes Berserk grant +30% attack, -30% defense.
4. ^ Occult Acumen: Grants additional TP when casting elemental or dark magic. Must already have the job trait to benefit. Note that DRK gets Occult Acumen at level 37 on CatsEyeXI (see the Jobs page).
5. ^ Fencer: For each +1, when using a 1-handed weapon and not dual-wielding, increase critical hit rate by 1% and add a +50 TP bonus to weaponskills.
6. ^ Extra kick attack: Chance to kick a second time after you've already kicked once. Does not affect base kick rate.
7. ^ Retaliation: Retaliated attacks do x% more damage.
8. ^ Pet: monster correlation effects: When your pet is fighting against a mob it is "strong" against (see Ecosystems), it gains +x accuracy and +x% damage against that enemy.
9. ^ Stormsurge effect: Grant +x stat bonus to targets under the effects of your Storm-type spells.
10. ^ Elemental debuff potency: Reduces stat-down effect by x, and increases damage-over-time by x/2.
11. ^ Random Deal effect: Increases the chance of restoring a second job ability.
12. ^ Repair effect: Repair will remove a status effect when used, or two status effects if you also have Puppetry Babouches equipped.
13. ^ Refresh potency: Increases the power of the spell Refresh (and the blue mage spell Battery Charge); MP recovered each tic increases by +x.
14. ^ Avatar's Favor: Increases the potency of Avatar's Favor by x. Examples: At full augment, if you have 317+ summoning magic skill, Ifrit's double attack bonus increases from +12% to +15%; Titan's defense bonus increases from +62 to +72; Leviathan's magic accuracy bonus increases from +2 to +4; Shiva's magic attack bonus goes from +18 to +24; Ramuh's critical hit percentage bonus goes from +14% to +18%; Diabolos's Refresh increases from 4 to 5.
15. ^ Phantom Roll effect: Increases potency of all phantom rolls. The highest Phantom Roll effect on your gear is used; it is not additive.
16. ^ Burst Affinity potency: Increases the secondary attribute modifier (WSC) of Burst Affinity by x%. This is more powerful on spells that have a high secondary attribute modifier, such as Searing Tempest (see Lesser Domain NMs).
17. ^ Elemental Seal effect: Adds x% bonus damage on your next elemental spell when you use Elemental Seal (Laevateinn effect).
18. ^ Stalwart Soul: Reduces the amount of damage you take from Souleater by x%, additive with the Stalwart Soul DRK trait (which is 40% at level 75). A level 75 dark knight takes 6% of their max HP as damage per attack with Souleater, but with max augment they would only take 4.5%. A character with dark knight as a subjob would ordinarily take 10% of their max HP as damage per attack, but with max augment they would only take 8.5%.
19. ^ Carbuncle Lvl+: The first tier of this augment unlocks a new Blood Pact for Carbuncle, Holy Mist.
20. ^ Cardinal Chant: Enhances all of the elemental magic directional bonuses by 10 times x%.
21. ^ Sublimation: Increases the amount of MP gained per tic, and the amount of HP lost per tic, by x.
22. ^ HP restored on Convert: Restores x% of your max HP when you use Convert. A weaker version of Murgleis effect (the effects stack).
23. ^ Cursna: Increases the chance that Cursna will remove Doom by x%.
24. ^ Focus effect: Adds +x accuracy when you use Focus.
