Category:Odyssey

Odyssey, introduced in the March 2020 update^[1], is exploratory battle content in which players progress through an area of Walk of Echoes known as a Sheol.
Materials you acquire in Sheol A can be used to augment UCNM equipment.

The primary rewards from Odyssey are currently only Lustreless Scales and Lustreless Hides; with gear and more traditional rewards to be implemented in later updates^[2].

Getting Started

Be in possession of a Moglophone.

Examining the ??? in Rabao near the Veridical Conflux at (G-6) grants the player the temporary Moglophone.
Nearest Home Point: Kuzotz > Rabao (#2)

You may receive another Moglophone by once twenty hours have passed from when you received the previous one.
Only 1 Moglophone may be held at a time

It is possible to be able to do 2 runs in "one day", if you collect a Moglophone then wait 20 hours before completing an Odyssey.

Examining the Veridical Conflux in Rabao at (G-6) and selecting the appropriate path transports all party members to Walk of Echoes for the Odyssey.

All Moglophones will be consumed upon entry.

Parties must be between 1 and 6 people.

Trusts may be called within Sheol.

The number of Trusts capable of being called is limited based on the number of people who enter.

E.g. should only 2 people enter, and break their party; only 4 trusts may be called within the instance.

Trusts are enhanced by the effect of "Moogle Mastery" after it is unlocked.

Progression

There is a time limit of 30 minutes.

Battle the various foes and various Notorious Monsters among the multiple floors of the instance as you make your way to the exit.

Interacting with the Veridical Conflux found at the exit completes the Odyssey.
Running out of time will eject all party members.
Using the Moglophone temporary item will allow you to leave the instance.

Moglophones will be automatically granted to all players upon entering Sheol.

Moogle Mastery

After 100+ Nostos enemies defeated, when obtaining a new Moglophone, the moogle will unlock the first tier of "Moogle Mastery".
Ones Mog Mastery effect is increased:

Minorly when defeating Nostos Enemies and when opening Chests.
Largely when opening Coffers.
Greatly when defeating Notorious Monsters or when opening Aurum Strongboxes.

The increase increase to Mog Mastery is an ambiguous point system where each of the above actions works towards increasing Moogle Mastery's "meter".

Such that defeating Notorious Monsters and opening Aurum Strongboxes will increase Moogle Mastery very quickly compared to opening chests and chests alone.

When a players Mog Mastery increases within Sheol, a message will be displayed stating that "your Moogle Mastery is now XX".

Only the player opening the Chest/Coffer/Aurum Strongbox will receive the message should their Moogle Mastery upgrade.

Other players' Moogle Mastery will increase as well, but they won't receive the message in Sheol.

Up to Tier XV (15) Mog Mastery has been observed.

Mog Mastery Effects

Mog Mastery will decrease the number of UCNM pop items required to spawn a Notorious Monster in that particular wing of Sheol.

Each level decreases the required pop items by 1.
This benefit is specific to the Mastery Tier of the Sheol wing in question.

If you have Mog Mastery I in Sheol B and Mog Mastery XV in Sheol A. You will receive no required pop item reduction in Sheol B.

Mog Mastery will increase the strength of Trusts.

It is currently unknown how this specifically boosts Trusts, as it doesn't increase their HP/MP as per +Level. It is thought to increase their Base Stats and/or their Derived Stats by increasing amounts by tier.

Foes

The various normal enemies that patrol areas within Sheol are all aggressive.
They come in two varieties, all behave accordingly to their real world brethren and take reduced AoE damage similar to mobs in Domain Invasion and Dynamis Divergence.

The HP of foes depends on their level, which increases with each level climbed.

Sheol A

~30,000 to ~65,000 HP

Sheol B

"Nostos" type

Common enemies that while aggressive, obey the normal aggro rules for their species, plus sight if a species is normally nonaggressive.

They cluster in groups of 10 mobs.

The type of which is randomly chosen at the creation of the instance.

None seem to possess True Sight or True Hearing
They do not link.
They are Charmable.
For every 5 defeated, the player will be granted 1 izzat.

"Agon" Beastmen type

Semi-invisible enemies that cannot be interacted with until their appropriate Agon Halo is destroyed.

Even though they cannot be targeted, Nostos can and will aggro players before their fetter is destroyed.

Agon link with each other, but not with their associated Agon Halo.
Agon possess True Sight and True Sound unlike the "Nostos" type mobs.

Agon mobs can not be enfeebled via AoE spells in any way before the Agon Halo has been destroyed.

Using an AoE ability or spell, however, will generate hate on all Again foes as if they were affected by it normally.

They only appear on floors: 1, 3, 5, and 7 in Sheol A.

They are found alongside any group of "Nostos" type mobs and do not link with them.
Floor 7 Agon Beastmen may contain Beastmen Leader type variants in their groups.

These have access to their appropriate SP Abilities.

When all are defeated the player will be granted 10 izzat and an Ethereal Junction will spawn in the location of Agon Halo.

This is used to pop a random Notorious Monster corresponding to the Sheol wing at a cost of 10 izzat.

Notorious Monsters

Trading UCNM materials to an Ethereal Junction that wants items will spawn a matching NM to the UCNM whose materials were traded.
Ethereal Junctions spawned from Agon Halos and their accompanying Beastmen demand an izzat payment of 10, and will spawn one of the Notorious Monsters of that Sheol wing at random.
All Notorious Monsters have access to various SP Abilities.

In Sheol A, the Notorious Monster will gain an aura after it is used.
In Sheol B, the Notorious Monster will spawn 2 copies after it is used.

The copies have less hit points, but provide a buff to the main Notorious monster while they are alive.

The buff scales with the number of adds alive.

All Notorious Monsters drop the Lustreless item of that Sheol wing with the possibility to also drop a a Lustreless Box of the corresponding Sheol wing when defeated.
Once a specific Notorious Monster has been spawned, it may not be spawned again in that same Odyssey run.

Mimics

A Thief with Thief's Tools, Living Key, or Skeleton Key has a chance to fail and spawn a Mimic NM.

Skeleton Keys return the lowest failure rate, followed by Living Key, and Thief's Tools.

Mimics posses high attack and defense, and take reduced damage from magic and skillchains.
Mimics will use draw in and have rapid hate decay. This causes them to shift targets regularly and draw them in.
Mimics have an aggro range of 20', and will reaggro the Thief which spawned it, even after a full party wipe and reraise.

The Thief must never return to within 20' of an idle Mimic or it will reaggro.

Mimics will not reaggro other party members after a wipe, regardless of their range.

A Thief may place a party member or Trusts on a Mimic and run away to be defeated by other foes out of range. They may then safely reraise afterwards.

Mimics in Sheol A will exclusively use Death Trap which is an AoE Stun and Poison.
Mimics in Sheol B will exclusively use Hell Trap, an enhanced version of Death Trap which also reduces players TP by 50%.

The stun effect from these moves may be resisted by increasing ones Magic Evasion and with thunder resistance enhancements such as Carols, Runes, and Barthunder.
