Getting Started
Eligibility Requirements
- Be of level 95 or higher.
- Be in a party or alliance of between three and eighteen players.
- The party leader must have progressed to a certain point in the Seekers of Adoulin mission storyline.
- Completed 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.
Entry Key Items
Players can obtain the necessary key items by trading vials of Befouled Water dropped by Fomors in Outer Ra'Kaznar and Ra'Kaznar Inner Court to the odyssean passage found in Leafallia.
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.
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, Fabricated ward of miasma, Fabricated ward of biting winds, Fabricated ward of ashen wings, and Fabricated ward of the false king.
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.

This area contains many 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.

There are columns in the middle of the room, numbered #1~#6. Upon selecting one, each will despawn and the enemy mobs will spawn scattered around room. All of the mobs have a weakness that they take heightened elemental damage from as follows:
Five of the columns will contain only varying groups of amorphs, while one will contain the NM along with groups of amorphs.
- It currently seems to be completely random as to which column contains the NM wave.

After defeating Murkcrawler, six new columns will appear and, again, only one of the six contains the NM wave.
- 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.
- It currently seems to be completely random as to which column contains the NM wave.

Additional Notorious Monsters
In addition to the gate specific notorious monsters there are additional notorious monsters that may be spawned after fulfilling certain conditions.
Spawned in any zone CL 130 or 132 when the party/alliance leader has the KI: Prototype pearl of ashen wings.

Magic damage according to weakness for kill must be between 5000 and 8000 damage, lower tier spells can work too.

- You can also hit the hybrid elementals with either of their weaknesses.
