Outer Ra'Kaznar (U)

Located in an "Otherwordly" version of Vana'diel, Outer Ra'Kaznar (U) is a parallel version of Outer Ra'Kaznar in which Skirmishes, Vagary and Sortie takes place.




Skirmishes

Entry into Outer Ra'Kaznar (U) skirmishes is accomplished by having the party leader utilize a Ra'Kaznar simulacrum (assembled from three Simulacrum Segments including a Ra'Kaznar Visage) at the Augural Conveyor located in Outer Ra'Kaznar at (M-6). All players in the party will be immediately transported to the Skirmish area once entry has been confirmed by the party leader.

There are five Skirmishes that occur within Outer Ra'Kaznar (U), dependent on the tier of Faithful's Torso used in assembling the simulacrum. Each Skirmish takes place on a different section of the map, with a slightly larger area for each higher tier.

Objective

Contains a maze in which several normal and notorious monsters must be defeated in order to obtain a required number of fragments to win.

Rewards

As the group works towards completing the primary objective, players will periodically be notified of their progress, and after each 20% of the primary objective duration has elapsed, players will be notified of some of the rewards they will receive if the primary objective is completed. Rewards associated with completing the secondary objective will be revealed once the primary objective is 100% completed. All rewards are player-specific (will load into each player's Treasure Coffer at the end of the Skirmish).

Upon completing the primary Skirmish objective, players will each receive a Fenestral Key. Once any player uses the key, the Skirmish will end (setting the time remaining to 6 minutes), a raise effect will be placed on any KO'ed players, all remaining monsters will despawn, and a treasure chest will spawn at each player's position with their personal rewards.

After completing the primary objective, if the group plans on continuing and completing the secondary objective, players should not use the Fenestral Key until the secondary objective is completed.

The quantity of rewards received is dependent on the tier of body segment used and the number of objectives completed.

Upon opening a treasure coffer in Ra'Kaznar skirmishes, a player may receive the key item Vial of transmelange, which can be expended, along with a 5,000 Bayld fee, to transmute one HQ skirmish weapon to its +2 version at Divainy-Gamainy. Note that this process will remove any augments from weapon. The weapon can then be reaugmented by using Wailing Stones.

The primary reward from Ra'Kaznar Skirmishes is the Vial of transmelange, which can be used to upgrade skirmish +1 weapons and NQ armor. (within set ranges) by Divainy-Gamainy of the Inventors' Coalition using Wailing Stones, also obtained from Ra'Kaznar Skirmishes. Additionally, players can exchange Pulchridopt Wings, which can also be randomly obtained from personal armory crates, for additional key items at Lola in Eastern Adoulin.

Note that treasure coffers will occasionally receive a boost to drop quality denoted by stars which can occur after each 20% of the objective has been completed. This boost will often add rarer, more valuable rewards and higher tier Verdigris Stones into personal crates.

In addition to the possibility of receiving a Vial of transmelange (if one is not already in possession), treasure coffer items are chosen from the following list (the quantity of items and chance of the key item in each player's coffer is determined by the objectives completed and torso tier; see table above):
