'''How the West Was Sung''' is a level 100 quasi-[[quest]] that serves as an unlock method for extreme-difficulty [[trials]] and chaotic and ultimate-difficulty [[raids]] in ''[[Dawntrail]]''. There are no steps to this quest: talking to the questgiver both accepts and completes the quest.

Though the quest is "completed" upon talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]], players must go back and talk to him again each time they complete the necessary prerequisites in order to unlock the associated extreme, chaotic, or ultimate-difficulty encounter.

==Dialogue==
Wandering Minstrel: My word─is that you, Forename!? I am overjoyed that fate would arrange this meeting, though I am not surprised. When I heard tell of your journey with Wuk Lamat, I had a feeling it would only be a matter of time until we crossed paths.
Wandering Minstrel: What am I doing in Tural, you ask? Why, I am come in search of unusual and fantastic stories that I may weave into songs, to spin tales that will enchant crowds the world over.
Wandering Minstrel: And this land has proven to be a treasure trove of folktales and legends unlike any that can be found across the sea. I have set each and every one to memory, and my head is swimming with new verses...
Wandering Minstrel: Yet for all the myths newly added to my repertoire, I still yearn for tales of newfound adventure. Tales involving parties that yet live─preferably recounted by someone with firsthand experience!
Wandering Minstrel: ...And ''you'' are just such a man/woman! Pray share with me everything that happened since you set foot in Tural, and I shall set it to song.
Wandering Minstrel: Every trial you endured during the rite of succession, every blood-curdling moment of your assault upon the levin-shrouded dome─I beg you spare no detail.
Wandering Minstrel: Your words will lend texture to my melodies and substance to my lyrics! Oh, I have a feeling my most memorable work is soon to come!
Wandering Minstrel: Of course, I understand you may not have the time at present. I shall be here for a while yet, polishing my prose to a mirror sheen. Simply come to me when you have a story to share, and I shall listen in rapt attention.

-----
''Valigarmanda. [Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme)]''

Wandering Minstrel: So, what have you brought for me today?
Wandering Minstrel: You did battle with Valigarmanda!? The tural vidraal of legend, dubbed the Skyruin, who ruled the heavens by beak and talon. Many are the legend of this beast among beasts, but I would wager the telling of your battle is more thrilling than the most harrowing tales!
Wandering Minstrel: By the hands of a devious scoundrel was the seal put in place by Gulool Ja Ja broken, and thus was the living calamity unleashed again upon the world...only to be struck down by Wuk Lamat and her mighty companion!
Wandering Minstrel: This glimpse into the events of the rite of succession shall provide me with more than enough inspiration for my next song. Thank you for sharing it with me, Forename.
Wandering Minstrel: By the by, do you know the meaning of the term “tural vidraal”?
Wandering Minstrel: In the language of the Mamool Ja, it means “that which clings to the earth.” A fitting description for beings powerful enough to claim an entire continent as their territory. And Valigarmanda was said to be the most formidable among them.
Wandering Minstrel: Though you emerged victorious, the fiend was but recently roused from slumber. What do you suppose would have happened had Valigarmanda been given sufficient time to regain its strength?
Wandering Minstrel: Hah, such questions are why we have imaginations, yes? And imagine I shall... The mightiest heroes of Etheirys matched against the full fury of Valigarmanda. A story for the ages!

-----
''Zoraal Ja. [Everkeep (Extreme)]''

Wandering Minstrel: So, what have you brought for me today?
Wandering Minstrel: Ah, the final moments of the former Dawnservant's firstborn. His story gives rise to a complex mixture of emotions, and it would be insulting to call it something so trite as an adventurous tale.
Wandering Minstrel: As the only true son of Gulool Ja Ja, he doubtless felt a heavy burden of responsibility to be deemed worthy of succeeding his father. This weight was likely made all the more stifling by the fact he had but one head.
Wandering Minstrel: And so he sought great power to make up for his perceived shortcomings. Yet he could never quite live up to the expectations he set for himself, and in his blind pursuit, he stepped upon a crooked path...
Wandering Minstrel: For thirty long years did he keep company with anger in that dome... Yet no amount of anguish can justify the countless lives he stole.
Wandering Minstrel: You know what I believe, Forename? I believe the moment Zoraal Ja killed his own father, whose admiration he fought so hard to win, his life lost all meaning.
Wandering Minstrel: His sins cannot be forgiven, 'tis true. Yet his story is a tragic one, and I suspect each of us can see parts of ourselves reflected within it.
Wandering Minstrel: Thank you for sharing it with me. A dark shadow loomed over the rite of succession, and we would do best not to forget he who cast it.
Wandering Minstrel: While many will view Zoraal Ja as a murderer and tyrant, reducing him to a mindless villain will blunt the impact of the lessons we can learn from his fate. This is a tale that must be told with great care...

-----
''Queen Eternal. [The Minstrel's Ballad: Sphene's Burden]''

Wandering Minstrel: So, what have you brought for me today?
Wandering Minstrel: The trials and tribulations of Queen Sphene, who was confronted with many a difficult decision as she sought to protect the citizens of her nation, Alexandria...
Wandering Minstrel: In that realm, people regard souls as merely a resource. And when they die, the aether of their memories is used to create the Endless, simulacra of the departed that can only be sustained with life force harvested from the living...
Wandering Minstrel: Being so very different from what we know, such a way of life is difficult for us to accept. Indeed, it seemed only inevitable that you should come into conflict with Sphene.
Wandering Minstrel: She herself was not among the living, but an entity brought forth to fulfill a certain objective. And therein, I believe, lay the root of this tale's tragedy.
Wandering Minstrel: Recreated from the noblest of souls though she was, she was helpless to defy the purpose to which she had been bound: protecting the Endless no matter the cost.
Wandering Minstrel: Thus did she continue on her destructive path, though she knew it led only to a dead end.
Wandering Minstrel: A question if you may, my friend. Deep in your heart, do you believe that the Sphene whom you met was alive?

What will you say?
> She was alive, in her own way.
> Though she was many things, she wasn't alive.
> I'm not sure...

< She was alive, in her own way. >
Wandering Minstrel: So you think that. Even with the knowledge that her existence differed from the living, you hold that she was alive...

< Though she was many things, she wasn't alive. >
< I'm not sure... >
Wandering Minstrel: I see. Though her existence differed much from the living, precisely what does it mean to be alive? 'Tis no easy thing to define.

Wandering Minstrel: I thank you for your honest answer. I shall take it to heart.
Wandering Minstrel: For my part, whether or not she was possessed of life, I believe that there existed an individual called Sphene, who cared deeply for her people. Who heard the voices of her people, felt as they did, and thought only for their welfare.
Wandering Minstrel: That is why, at battle's end, she returned as the gentle soul you knew.
Wandering Minstrel: But here, a thought fills me with dread. What if that soul failed to return, and the fearsome entity she had become continued its relentless onslaught?
Wandering Minstrel: Might it have succeeded in its objective, and plundered life force from other realities at the cost of untold destruction...? Of such a possibility shall I sing, that we might give thanks for the path we were mercifully spared.
Wandering Minstrel: By golden light two rulers walked,
Their paths in conflict lying.♪
One bound to slay, one sworn to save,
They forged ahead untiring.♪

Wandering Minstrel: The mem'ries of departed days,
Endure as fate and fetters.♪
For keepers staunch a blessed warmth,
Oblivion for the breakers.♪

-----
''The Flood of Light. [Futures Rewritten (Ultimate)]''

Wandering Minstrel: So, what have you brought for me today?
Wandering Minstrel: Well now, that is quite a tremendous tale... If I may, I shall attempt to recount it in my own words, the better to reflect upon the events for song.
Wandering Minstrel: A century past, the hero Ardbert fought and felled the Ascian Mitron. By the power of Light, the villain's body was transformed into Eden, the first sin eater, who unleashed the Flood of Light that engulfed the First.
Wandering Minstrel: Despite being locked in a stupor, Mitron mustered the strength to call from the prison that was his vessel, in the desperate hope of reaching his fallen comrade, Loghrif. And reach Loghrif he finally did, in her reincarnated form as the maiden Gaia.
Wandering Minstrel: From a young age, Gaia had heard Mitron's voice in her mind. She referred to it as “the faerie,” and there were times when it even took over her consciousness.
Wandering Minstrel: And be it by chance or by fate, Eden's subsequent awakening by Ryne, the Oracle of Light, led to Gaia's appearance in the Empty, where the two maidens first encountered each other.
Wandering Minstrel: At length, Mitron restored Loghrif's memories in Gaia, and the two Ascians returned once more. But in no small part due to your valor, the worst was prevented from coming to pass...
Wandering Minstrel: 'Tis truly a stirring tale, and no moment of it more so than when Gaia lay on the verge of being erased. How beautiful to imagine that her memories of Ryne served as an anchor that kept her from fading away.
Wandering Minstrel: Yet as perfectly as that unfolded, I cannot help but wonder what might have happened if something else had gone awry. For instance, in the moment that Ryne roused Eden, what if Mitron had likewise reached out and interfered...?
Wandering Minstrel: Yes, I believe I have the makings of a song. One that speaks of a future that was not, yet may very well have been...
Wandering Minstrel: A villain dark a gaol did break, The Light to liberate.♪ A maiden pure her eyes unsure, He sought to change her fate.♪
Wandering Minstrel: Undying soul a gaol did flee, The Dark to stir awake.♪ A maiden lost to find once more, And good a promise make.♪

-----
''The Cloud of Darkness. [The Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic)]''

System: Chaotic alliance raids pit up to twenty-four adventurers against a fearsome foe who has been made even more powerful than before.
System: Do you wish to unlock the Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic)? (yes/no)

Wandering Minstrel: Ah, that reminds me. Some days ago, I had the pleasure of meeting your good friend G'raha Tia.
Wandering Minstrel: He approached me, wondering if he had seen me elsewhere before, and so I told him about my endeavors in verse.
Wandering Minstrel: Taking an interest in my work, he invited me to join him at Xbalyav Ty'e, where we discussed tales of heroism over tacos and churrasco.
Wandering Minstrel: 'Twas then that he shared a story that is especially close to his heart.
Wandering Minstrel: The fellowship of NOAH's foray into the Crystal Tower... You played a vital role in it, did you not?
Wandering Minstrel: Together with more than a score of your fellows, you triumphed over numerous formidable foes to secure the structure.
Wandering Minstrel: How do you recall the experience, pray? As adventurers typically work in small groups, I daresay it felt quite different to be part of a large contingent.

What will you say?
> It was thrilling!
> I may have been a little nervous...
> I just played it by ear.

< It was thrilling! >
Wandering Minstrel: Haha, you truly are fearless, my friend!


Wandering Minstrel: Truly? I would not have expected that!


Wandering Minstrel: Hehe, I do favor such an approach myself.

Wandering Minstrel: Now, I can only speak as an observer, but I imagine it must be uniquely satisfying to sally forth as a member of a great collective to accomplish tremendous feats.
Wandering Minstrel: And to defeat the dreaded Cloud of Darkness is a tremendous feat indeed.
Wandering Minstrel: She is a ruler among her kind, occupying the highest rung of the hierarchy of voidsent.
Wandering Minstrel: Full oft has she left her mark upon mankind's history, not least of all when she forged a pact with Emperor Xande.

What will you say?
> She did...?
> Didn't she use beams and...more beams?

Wandering Minstrel: Hmm... It may well be that you saw merely one aspect of the Cloud of Darkness.
Wandering Minstrel: As I understand it, voidsent are changeable beings, their forms dependent on factors such as the aether at their disposal. Another time, and you may have faced a somewhat different foe.

(if player has completed the Eden raids)
Wandering Minstrel: 'Tis an intriguing possibility to consider, would you not agree?
Wandering Minstrel: ...So together with your comrade Ryne, you gave rise to a being based upon the Cloud of Darkness?
Wandering Minstrel: A familiar yet distinct entity shaped by your combined impressions of the voidsent queen...
Wandering Minstrel: That gives me an idea! I shall compose a song about the ''true'' Cloud of Darkness as I imagine her, for which I shall draw inspiration from your account!

(if player has not completed the Eden raids)
Wandering Minstrel: 'Tis an intriguing possibility to consider...and it gives me an idea!
Wandering Minstrel: I shall compose a song about the ''true'' Cloud of Darkness as I imagine her, for which I shall draw inspiration from your account!

Wandering Minstrel: Without further ado...
Wandering Minstrel: When Light and Dark as one become, to oblivion all to cast,♪ A champion dauntless shall arise, to cleave them at the last.♪
Wandering Minstrel: Into their hands entrusted be, the hopes of all mankind,♪ Upon the wind eternal borne, a bright and shining sign.♪
Wandering Minstrel: The time is come, so go you forth, unto the battlefield.♪ The final confrontation looms, To test your blade and shield.♪
Wandering Minstrel: Though it may pale in comparison to facing the Cloud of Darkness, it gave me great satisfaction to compose these verses. And should they give you satisfaction as well, then naught would please me more!

-----
''Default''

Wandering Minstrel: Have you come here to share a heroic yarn with me, Forename? Please, do go on─you have my rapt attention.
Wandering Minstrel: ...Ah, I understand. You have no tales worth telling─yet, that is. I know for certain 'tis but a matter of time until you are thrust into the heart of matters most dramatic.
Wandering Minstrel: Fortunately, the denizens of this city are great lovers of tall tales and thrilling verse. They simply cannot hear enough of your exploits, Forename! Thank you for being my ever-dependable muse.

Big Fishing

2025-01-24T21:52:34Z

Eldus Alnari: Mooch > Requirements, added a blurb about legendary fish

[[File:Bigfish_lodestone.png|250px|right]]{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/fdcac38ca1a190627bf4e5b1362cae51e70137f7 Crafting and Gathering Preview (03/18/2014)]|Fishers of surpassing skill can try their hand at reeling in impressive denizens of the deep once thought to be mere legend, earning an array of achievements in the process. Do you have what it takes to stake your claim as one of Eorzea's master anglers?}}

[[Big Fishing]] was first introduced in [[Patch 2.2]] on March 26, 2014. All big fish are of {{rarity|dungeon|Green}} [[rarity]].<ref>Similarly, all green-rarity overworld fish are considered big fish (note that green-rarity fish in [[Ocean Fishing]] are not included).</ref> Not to be confused with [[Gatherer's Boon|large-sized]] fish that replaced [[High Quality]] {{HQ}} fish after ''[[Endwalker]]'''s release with [[patch 6.0]]. Subsequent to this change, the last six Big Fish released in an expansion are now officially referred to as '''Legendary Fish'''.<ref>[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/bdd208b52ddababad086dc9679e96a8412962edf/ Patch 6.0 Notes]</ref>

Big fish are much harder to catch than regular fish and have specific time, [[weather]], [[bait]], {{action icon|Mooch}}, and/or {{buff|fishers intuition}} [[Fisher's Intuition]] prerequisites. Some weather requirements may require one specific weather to occur immediately after another weather type, creating very limited windows of opportunity to catch the fish. Big fish usually have at least a 15% chance to escape the hook regardless of player stats, with some fish having a significantly lower success rate. The legendary fish released at the end of each expansion are even harder to catch.

==Unlock Requirements==
*Fisher unlocked
*A [[Gathering (Attribute) | Gathering]] stat of at least 290.

Beginning with [[Heavensward]], most of these fish also require [[Tomes of Regional Folklore]].

-------
Side quests {{questlink|side|The Beast of Brewer's Beacon}} and {{questlink|side|Feast of Famine}} function as an introduction to [[Big Fishing]].

:[https://garlandtools.org/bell/ https://garlandtools.org/bell/] 
As of [[Patch 5.2]] all big fish now show a !!! animation when they bite, as shown on the right. This does not necessarily mean {{item icon|Powerful Hookset}} should be used; that depends on the specific fish. 
There are also ordinary fish that use the !!! animation, so it is not a guarantee.

[[File:Fishing Effect 5.2.png]]

All times are given in [[Eorzea Time]] / in-game time. '''{{action icon|Fish Eyes}}''' will not negate any of these time requirements, except for non-legendary big fish in A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood zones.

==Legendary Fish==
'''Legendary Fish''' are the last six big fish (one per zone) released in an expansion. Compared to "regular" big fish, legendary fish have even stricter requirements, ranging from catch windows once a week or rare, short 90-second catch windows, bite rates under 1%, extremely high slip rates over 90%, mooch or intuition requirements involving other big fish, or some combination of the above.

The quest {{questlink|side|Feast of Famine}} involves catching all six legendary fish in A Realm Reborn.

Group 1 looks northwest and scans counterclockwise to find the locations to position, while group 2 looks north and scans clockwise. In some scenarios, players may need to "flex" and use the priority of the other group's. Name originates from a solution to the Gorgomanteia (snakes) mechanic in {{questlink|raid|Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage)}}, wherein players need to drop AoEs on adds that spawned in semi-random locations.

'''Snapshot''' = The time point when a player or enemy is determined to have been hit by an enemy attack or player action. Snapshots for enemy attacks often register upon when the attack cast bar fills and not with the attack animation. May be affected by server latency.

Similar interactions exist with enemy attacks and damage mitigation actions.

Conversely, any mitigation used when the DoT is still active will not reduce DoT damage.

'''RF''' = [[Raid Finder]]; Merged with [[Duty Finder]], a system implemented to automatically create parties of players that are wishing to enter a specific [[duties|duty]] or [[dungeons|instance]], but used exclusively for the most recent (and most difficult) content, such as Ex Trials and Savage raids.

'''RNG''' = Random Number Generator; a process that is determined by random event

'''ROG''' = {{Rogue}} [[Rogue]]

'''Rot / Nisi''' = Refers to some debuffs that can be passed between players with contact. Originates from ''Allagan Rot'' in {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 2}} or ''Judgment Nisi'' in {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Burden of the Father}}.

'''RPR''' = {{Reaper}} [[Reaper]]

== S ==

'''SAM''' = {{Samurai}} [[Samurai]]

'''Samba''' = {{action icon|Shield Samba}}

'''SCH''' = {{Scholar}} [[Scholar]]

'''SB''' = [[Stormblood]], the second expansion, considered [[patch 4.0|version 4.0]] of the game. '''OR''' [[Spirit Bond]], depending on context.

'''SC / Softcore / Casual''' = A group of players ("static") that participates in raid content with no expectation of clearing quickly or committing much time.

'''Shakies''' = Nervousness or anxiety towards the end of a lengthy encounter (usually in ultimate raids) that may contribute to mistakes.

'''sMC''' = Semi-midcore. A group of players ("static") that considers itself between a casual and a midcore group in terms of expectations.

'''SMN''' = {{Summoner}} [[Summoner]]

'''Snapshot''' = The time point when a player or enemy is determined to have been hit by an enemy attack or player action. Snapshots for enemy attacks often register upon when the attack cast bar fills and not with the attack animation. May be affected by server latency. Snapshotting is also commonly used to describe the interaction of player actions with party damage buffs. For example, using a damage-over-time (DoT) action such as {{action icon|Dia}} under buffs will increase damage done for its entire duration, even when the buffs wear off. On the other hand, "pets" such as {{action icon|Automaton Queen}} are only affected by currently active buffs, e.g. if a buff is active for only half the time they are summoned, their damage will be boosted during that half only. Similar interactions exist with enemy attacks and damage mitigation actions. For example, if an enemy applies a DoT effect, any mitigation active during the ''initial'' application will last for the entire DoT duration. Conversely, any mitigation used when the DoT is still active will not reduce DoT damage.

'''Soak''' = To deliberately stand in an enemy AoE, often required for certain boss attacks where failure to do so will cause massive group-wide damage.

'''SpS''' = [[Spell Speed]]

'''SR''' = Speed Run; Appended to advertisements when arranging parties for instances, to indicate that you are looking to finish the dungeon as quickly as possible by taking shortcuts and skipping all possible enemies.

'''Stance Dance''' = An obsolete combat term wherein support jobs must toggle certain stance-based actions to choose between dealing more damage versus healing or tanking more effectively. For example, prior to [[patch 4.0]], healers toggled {{action icon|Cleric Stance}} to maximize their damage at the cost of inhibiting their healing. Prior to [[patch 5.0]], tanks had a "tank stance" that increased enmity generation and a "DPS stance" that increased damage dealt.

'''Tank swap''' = In duties with two tanks, '''tankbusters''' and other mechanics can require swapping which tank is currently holding [[enmity]] on the boss. To do this, the current '''off-tank''' will use {{action icon|Provoke}} followed by the former '''main tank''' using {{action icon|Shirk}} on the provoking player. This ensures the new tank has a strong [[enmity]] lead on the boss.

'''Taunt''' = {{action icon|Provoke}}

'''Trick''' = {{action icon|Trick Attack}}

'''Trio''' = A mechanic type, usually present in [[Raid|ultimate raids]], that involves the boss and multiple untargetable enemies performing a complicated sequence of mechanics.

Duty Finder

2024-07-18T06:48:32Z

Eldus Alnari: /* Raid Finder Content */

[[File:duty finder menu.jpg|400px|thumb|Duty Finder Menu]]
{{otheruses|the automatic group matching tool|the manual invite grouping tool|Party Finder}}
[[File:Duty finder icon2.png|left|link=]] '''Duty Finder''', abbreviated as '''DF''', is a tool players can use to register for, automatically form [[parties]], and enter most instanced group content ([[duties]]) in the game. This includes [[dungeons]], [[guildhests]], [[trials]], [[raids]], [[PvP]], some [[Gold Saucer]] minigames, as content types; and alternatively the joining of a [[Duty Roulette]] that will select a random instance of a given content type for the player. Duty Finder as an interface unlocks at the same time as the player's first matched duty. For most players this is likely to be either a [[Guildhest]] or the [[MSQ]] {{questlink|main|It's Probably Pirates}}. Other content and categories will be automatically added to the Duty Finder after they are unlocked.

__TOC__

==Registration and Matchmaking==
Players need to unlock the duty first before they are allowed to register for it. Players who register for a duty by themselves (or with a party smaller than specified by the "duty requirements" at the bottom of the right-side pane) will be matched with other random players from different [[servers]] in the same [[data center]], until the party is filled to its maximum. The term ''duty finder'', when used by players, is often synonymous with matched parties, even though a fully premade party can still use duty finder to register for and enter a duty.

Once the party is filled, the players will be given a prompt labelled to enter the duty. Hit "Commence" to confirm entry; "Wait" will minimize the window to a notification and "Withdraw" will cancel registration. As a notification, the game refers to this as the "Duty Participation Confirmation". Players who register for duties with a premade party that matches the party size requirements will automatically be prompted to enter the duty upon registration.

The queue time, which is the time spent matching with a party, varies depending on the popularity of the duty, the roles required, and current player traffic on that [[data center]]. {{Tank}}[[Tank]]s and {{Healer}}[[Healer]]s tend to get faster queues, but even for DPS in most content, many queues are quite reliably short. However, as an alternative to grouping with other players, the [[Duty Support]] or [[Trust]] tools can also be used in certain duties with NPC party members instead taking the role of party members.

===Duty Finder Usage===
{{main|Party Finder}}
Players use Duty Finder to ''enter'' most instanced group content, regardless of whether they are queuing solo or with a premade party. However for PvE content, Duty Finder's ''matchmaking'' function is typically only used for content of story-mode difficulty, such as dungeons, guildhests, normal and hard trials, normal raids, and alliance raids. PvP and some Gold Saucer minigames are required to use matchmaking functionality to find opponents.

As such, in North American and European data centers, '''matchmaking is strongly not recommended for higher-difficulty content (e.g. extreme/"Minstrel's Ballad" trials and savage raids, including [[the Coils of Bahamut]])'''. In addition, higher-end content is typically absent from Duty Roulettes (with only extreme trials appearing in [[Duty Roulette: Mentor]]) which leads to very long queue times. Manually forming or joining premade parties through ''[[Party Finder]]'' or other means is therefore preferred by most players who wish to do higher-difficulty content, as it allows for a much greater customization in forming a party, recruiting other players with common goals and similar experience in the duty, and agreeing on encounter strategies, which are important in successfully completing high-end content.
*Only Japanese Data Centers use [[Raid Finder]] (the Duty Finder category for current high-end content) matchmaking to "farm" the newest extreme trials, with the expectation that all players have previously cleared the fight. Practice parties and older trials are expected to be hosted in Party Finder.

Due to its low population, players in the Materia Data Center (Oceania) will often use Party Finder instead of Duty Finder to form groups for all types of content, including story-difficulty content.

==Duty Finder Content==
Duties are organized by category, which can be navigated on the icons near the top of the interface. In the order presented in-game, these include:
* [[File:Duty roulette icon.png|link=|16px]] [[Duty Roulette]]
* [[File:Dungeon.png |link=|16px]] [[Dungeons]] (ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker)
* [[File:Dungeon.png |link=|16px]] Dungeons (Dawntrail)
* [[File:Guildhesticon.png |link=|16px]] [[Guildhests]]
* [[File:Trial.png |link=|16px]] [[Trials]] (ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker)
* [[File:Trial.png |link=|16px]] Trials (Dawntrail)
* [[File:Raid.png |link=|16px]] [[Raids]] (ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker)
* [[File:Raid.png |link=|16px]] Raids (Dawntrail) ([[patch 7.01]])
* [[File:PvP_icon1.png |link=|16px]] [[PvP]]
* [[File:Gold Saucer Duty.png |link=|16px]] [[Gold Saucer]]

==Duty Finder Settings==
Duty Finder settings were introduced in [[patch 3.0]]. Players can access settings from the ''gear wheel'' icon, which is found above the "Duty Finder" menu name (on the top left corner of the Duty Finder menu/window) and inside the yellow bar. These settings allow for party leaders and solo players to adjust their matchmaking with "special participation requirements" for duties. Note that if the player is in a party, only the party leader's setting will take effect.

===[[File:Join Party in Progress icon.png|link=|36px]] Join Party in Progress===
The player has an option to join duties that are in progress but with one or more party members having left the duty. Does not disable matching with newly formed parties at the start of a duty. When the duty entrance prompt appears, players will be told how long the duty is in progress if they are refilling a party. Players who join a duty in progress are free to leave the duty without incurring a 30 minute penalty.

===[[File:Unrestricted Party icon.png|link=|36px]] Unrestricted Party===
Unrestricted Party (formerly '''undersized party''', referred to as '''unsynced''' by the community) allows players to participate in Duties with below minimum party member requirements. For example, running [[Sastasha]] with 2 players. In this setting, level sync, item level sync and role requirements are ignored. This setting allows players to more easily complete older content. Most duties allow unrestricted parties, except for duties released in the current expansion, [[Hall of the Novice]] exercises, [[guildhests]], [[Deep Dungeon|deep dungeons]], [[Field Operations]], [[Treasure Hunt|treasure hunt dungeons]], [[Masked Carnivale]] stages, and [[Raids|Ultimate Raids]]. Alliance raids require at least one person per full party alliance (three players total) to enter using an unrestricted party. Matching with other players is disabled if this setting is enabled.

*Defeating [[enemies]] will grant no [[EXP]] or [[item]] drops. [[Spiritbond]] also will not be gained. However, '''any items in chests still appear''', and their drop rates are not affected. Because almost all loot in duties comes from chests, this setting will not affect loot farming outside of very specific drops. [[Triple Triad Cards]] will still drop from enemies, along with other items that may be rewarded directly to the player's inventory upon completing the duty.

*Players will still receive first time completion bonuses (such as [[tomestones]]), EXP from completion of [[quest]]s, and satisfy any quest, [[Wondrous Tails]], A Realm Reborn or Heavensward [[Relic Weapon]] objectives, or unlocking [[Duty Roulette#Duty Roulette: Mentor|Duty Roulette: Mentor]] that require completing the duty.
** Some objectives do not allow for Unrestricted Parties with Level Sync disabled to receive credit. These include Shadowbringers [[Resistance Weapon]] and [[Moogle Treasure Trove]] objectives. Credit for the latter can be obtained using an Unrestricted Party with Level Sync enabled.

*After the stat squish with the launch of ''[[Endwalker]]'', [[Unrestricted Party]] also grants players an [[File:Epic echo icon1.png|link=]] '''[[The Echo#Unrestricted_Parties|Epic Echo]]''' buff: "Maximum HP, damage dealt, and potency of HP restoration actions are increased beyond what even you thought possible." up to +300%. This allows players to "unsync" duties similarly as before the stat squish.

*When undertaking duties using the Unrestricted Party option, players can elect to leave a duty even during combat.

*It is not possible to enter a duty with a lower level than the minimum level. However, it is possible to enter with a lower average item level than the minimum item level.

*It is not possible to enter with a [[Disciple of the Hand]] or [[Disciple of the Land]].

*It is not possible to enter with a larger party size than the maximum size allowed (e.g., an 8-man party in a 4-man dungeon).

====[[File:Level sync icon.png|link=|24px]] Level Sync====
Enables [[level sync]] to the level the duty was designed for in unrestricted parties, allowing for EXP and spiritbond gain. This setting is only available when "Unrestricted Party" is selected. Otherwise, level sync is enabled by default if "Unrestricted Party" is not enabled.

===[[File:Minimum IL icon.png|link=|36px]] Minimum IL===
Minimum IL or item level reduces the item levels of the entire party to that of the minimum item level requirement of the duty. It is intended for players who wish to be challenged by the duties to a somewhat similar degree as when the duties were first introduced. Players can select this setting in conjunction with Undersized Party setting. Matching with other players is disabled if this setting is enabled. This setting provides no tangible rewards except for increasing the drop rates of faded [[Orchestrion Roll]]s in extreme trials (other loot drops are unchanged).

:It is worth noting that this is something of an misconception, as older duties from past expansions especially would have had drastically different abilities for [[job]]s. This leads to an easier experience overall due to potency creep and job overhauls, which have significantly simplified lower level job kits. In many circumstances, item level sync even to minimum item level would not reflect the power level of players in appropriate period gear, which was made worse by the [[Endwalker]] [[patch 6.0]] non-linear stat-squish. So while "Minimum ilvl, no Echo" or ''[[Acronyms|MINE]]'' runs are done by sections of the community, it is not accurate to say that it offers "the original level of challenge." This is also the exact criticism that [[Faux Hollows]] was introduced to solve.

:Because most player stats come from gear, players can simulate older fights at lv 90 (i.e., "unreal") with stats that approximate when the fights were current content, taking into account the patch 6.0 stat squish, by equipping weak gear and not equipping accessories. Gear guidelines for older savage raids downscaled at lv 90 can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HjZB9wSokd5yZGgNwRlV4bbfCr3cXQLD5SMdArF0iS4/edit#gid=0 here]. The unrestricted party (level sync disabled) and silence echo settings would be used, but minimum item level would ''not'' be enabled. This affords player stats that are lower than minimum item level while allowing use of their full job kits.

===[[File:Silence Echo icon.png|link=|36px]] Silence Echo===
Prevents accumulation of [[File:The echo icon1.png|link=The Echo]] '''[[The Echo]]''', which is a buff that is given to all players in older [[trials]] and [[raids]] to make them easier to complete if the party wipes, or automatically given at the start of the duty. Similar to minimum IL, silencing Echo is another challenge option for older content, with no tangible rewards. However, some [[Achievements]] require completing extreme trials and certain savage raids with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage]]s with level sync and silence echo enabled. Matching with other players is disabled if this setting is enabled.

===[[File:Explorer Mode icon.png|link=|36px]] Explorer Mode===
[[Explorer Mode]] was released in [[patch 5.4]] in [[Shadowbringers]]. It allows players to freely explore previously completed [[dungeons]] with no enemies or obstacles. Matching is disabled if this setting is enabled.

===[[File:Limited Leveling Roulette icon.png|link=|36px]] Limited Leveling Roulette===
When queuing for Duty Roulette: Leveling with a full premade party of four, enabling this setting will ensure a duty within eight levels of the lowest-leveled party member is selected. Has no effect if the player is queuing without a party of four.

Example: A Level 81 player enables this option and queues for Duty Roulette: Leveling. They can receive any duty they have unlocked from [[Sastasha]] (Lv. 15) to [[The Tower of Zot]] (Lv. 81) because they are queuing by themselves.

Example 2: The party leader of a party of four players, ranging from Lv. 81 to Lv. 85, enables this option and queues for Duty Roulette: Leveling. The party can receive any duty all members have unlocked from [[Dohn Mheg]] (Lv. 73) to The Tower of Zot (Lv. 81).

===Loot Rules===
'''Normal''': Regular loot rules that enables ''Need'', ''Greed'' and ''Pass'' system for all drops.

[[File:Greed Only icon.png|link=|24px]] '''Greed Only''': All party members must select ''Greed''.

[[File:Lootmaster icon.png|link=|24px]] '''Lootmaster''': Party Leader determines loot distribution. For each drop, party leader can manually distribute the loot to an individual party member or make the entire party choose ''Greed'' only.

*Loot Rules cannot be changed once entering a duty.
*Loot Rules can only be enabled by fully premade parties. They are always Normal when random players are matched by Duty Finder.

===Language===
The selections Japanese, English, German (Deutsch), and French are available, and the player's current client language will be underlined. Generally, in automatic matchmaking the Duty Finder prefers to match players with people of a similar language, which may reduce the people available to form a group and affect queue times, especially on EU Data Centres. The languages of any buttons that are lit up will be considered for matchmaking. If the player is confident that they do not expect to need much coordination, or does not mind using [[Auto-Translate]] or similar features to translate, then they may be able to select all languages in order to maximise potential partners.

==Duty Finder Penalty==
Players who withdraw three times in a day from the "Duty Ready" entrance prompt after matchmaking is complete, or who are the ''first'' to leave an automatically matched party inside a duty before it is completed will receive a 30 minute penalty that will prevent them from registering with Duty or Raid Finder (or other [[instance]]s such as [[field operations]], [[gathering forays]], and [[Variant and Criterion Dungeons]]) until the time expires.

This penalty may not always apply in certain situations. For example, fully premade parties which include Unrestricted Parties ("Vote abandon may be used at any time"), or [[Duty Support]]. However, queuing through any Duty Roulette is an exception in order to discourage players in premade parties from "fishing" for more desirable duties. Players who are ''not'' the first to leave, or have joined the party in progress, will also not receive the penalty if they abandon the party, and players who have been vote dismissed or were in a party that voted to abandon a duty will also not receive the penalty.

With the penalty, the party leader of a premade party in which at least one player currently has the penalty will not be able to register for duties while they are in the party, until the penalty expires. The duration of the penalty is fixed at 30 minutes and will not increase from taking multiple penalties in succession or leaving [[Duty Roulette: Mentor]].

==Raid Finder==
[[File:Raid Finder menu.jpg|400px|thumb|Raid Finder Menu]]
[[File:Raid finder icon2.png|left|link=]] '''Raid Finder''' is an extension of Duty Finder that allows players to register for high-end [[trials]] and [[raids]]. By selecting a desired raid and matching requirements, players who queue in with less than a full party will be matched automatically with other players spanning multiple Worlds within the same data center. Premade full parties will enter the instance with the existing party, and no matchmaking will be performed. The Raid Finder will be unlocked when speaking with the NPC who would normally unlock the entrance to the specified instanced raid. It can be accessed via the Duty tab of the Main Menu or from the High-end Duty tab of the Duty Finder interface.

Not all high-end raids and extreme trials are accessed via Raid Finder. Each major patch, the raids and trials which are to be found in the Raid Finder will change to include only the newest high-end trials and raids. Older content that was previously in the Raid Finder is moved to the Duty Finder after one major patch (for Extreme Trials) or two major patches (for Savage Raids). Ultimate Raids are always accessed through Raid Finder. Each major patch, the current unreal trial will be permanently made inaccessible and replaced with the newest unreal trial.

===Raid Finder Unlock===
Players need only to have access to either the latest Extreme Trial, have Unreal Trials unlocked, have the latest savage tier unlocked, or have any Ultimate raid unlocked. Please keep in mind, however, that the Raid Finder will become inaccessible when the next series of Savage raids or Extreme trials is introduced. At that time, players must unlock the next Savage or Extreme trial to gain access to the Raid Finder, if they have not unlocked any Ultimate raids.

===Raid Finder Usage===
In North American and European data centers, players who wish to form parties to practice and complete high-end content do not use Raid Finder matchmaking, instead preferring [[Party Finder]]. Raid Finder matchmaking is only routinely used in Japanese data centers, and typically only for duty completion instead of practice. Note that only ''matching'' is not commonly used in most data centers; full premade parties must still register for high-end duties through Raid Finder.

===Raid Finder Content===

The following raids and trials are available through [[High-end Duty]] via Duty Finder:

'''Trials''' {{DT}}
*{{questlink|trial|Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme)}}
*{{questlink|trial|Everkeep (Extreme)}}

'''Raids''' {{DT}}
*To be added in [[patch 7.05]]

'''Ultimate Raids'''
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate)}} {{SB}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)}} {{SB}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)}} {{ShB}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}} {{EW}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)}} {{EW}}

Matchmaking is unavailable for ultimate raids. In order to register, players must have a full premade party of eight people. It is also not possible to enter with an Unrestricted Party.

===Raid Finder Settings===
'''Matching Requirements'''
*Duty Complete - Players must have completed the selected raid at least once.
*Duty Incomplete - Completion of the selected raid is not required to participate.

'''Purpose'''
*Duty Completion - Only available to players who have yet to claim weekly rewards.
*Practice - When this option is selected, players can specify which phase of the battle they wish to practice.

'''Practice Phase Selection'''

This option is available only when selecting Practice. Players can then choose First Phase or Final Phase.

*Practice phase selection does not entail the actual skipping of phases, i.e. players cannot skip to the mechanic they want to practice.
*If party members have already completed the duty for the week, the number of rewards will be reduced (for Savage raids only).

===Party Composition===
When queuing solo or with less than a full party, the Raid Finder will match together 2 tanks, 1 pure healer, 1 barrier healer, 1 ranged physical DPS, 1 ranged magical DPS, 1 melee DPS, and 1 other DPS. The fourth, unspecified DPS class or job to be matched will depend on the settings selected when registering for a raid.

When selecting Duty Completion, the unspecified DPS player cannot be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.

When selecting Practice, the unspecified DPS player can be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.

Please note that the above composition requirements are not imposed upon preformed parties.
* Players who have yet to complete the selected raid will take priority in the queue.

===Language Setting===
Language settings from the Duty Finder will be carried over to the Raid Finder
* Loot rules can only be changed when registering as a full party.

==Other matchmaking tools==
Not all multiplayer duties are accessed through the Duty Finder or Raid Finder interface.

* [[Field Operations]] and [[Gathering Forays]] can only be entered by speaking with an NPC in a specific lobby zone. For {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae}} and [[Ocean Fishing]], matchmaking will be performed if a party of fewer than 24 players queues at once.
* [[Variant and Criterion Dungeons]] are entered through a separate interface, the ''V+C Dungeon Finder'', which also allows for matchmaking.
* If a player is currently under the Duty Finder Penalty, they will not be able to access these duties until the penalty expires.

Similar interactions exist with enemy attacks and damage mitigation actions.

'''Tank swap''' = In duties with two tanks, '''tankbusters''' and other mechanics can require swapping which tank is currently holding [[enmity]] on the boss. To do this, the current '''off-tank''' will use {{action icon|Provoke}} followed by the former '''main tank''' using {{action icon|Shirk}} on the provoking player.

| name = The Bozjan Southern Front
| weather = fair skies, rain, wind, thunder, dust storms
| description = When the Empire first invaded Bozja, Alermuc Fortress was erected in southern Bozja, the location chosen for its natural defenses. Alas, the seemingly impregnable stronghold fell, and has since been known under the Garlean name Castrum Lacus Litore. Emboldened by the rebirth of Gunnhildr's Blades, the Bozjan Resistance has begun Operation Eagle's Nest in a bid to regain this most necessary foothold in the southern front.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front1.jpg|300px|right]]
This is an instanced area that up to 72 players can explore simultaneously, and is the first major battlefield of two in the [[Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]] storyline. It is where players assist the [[Bozjan Resistance]] in reclaiming their homeland from the [[IVth Imperial Legion]].

==Requirements==
*Level Requirement: Disciple of War or Magic level 71
*Item Level Sync: 430
*Party Size: One to eight players
**While up to 72 players can simultaneously be in the instance, only party sizes of up to eight players are allowed. Players can freely join or leave parties inside the instance, but [[Party Finder]] is disabled.
*Role Restrictions: None
*Time Limit: 180 minutes
**The instance timer is specific to each player and commences upon entering the duty.
*Unrestricted Parties not allowed

==Unlock==
*[[Quest]]: {{questlink|feature|Where Eagles Nest}}
*Disciple of War or Magic level 80
*Starting Location: [[Gangos]] (X:6.4 Y:5.7)
*Starting NPC: [[Marsak]]
*Prerequisite: Players must first complete the main scenario quest {{questlink|main|Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty}}, as well as the quests {{questlink|feature|The Bozja Incident}} and {{questlink|feature|Fire in the Forge}}.

==Overview==
===Entering the Bozjan Southern Front===
Players can enter the Bozjan southern front by speaking with [[Sjeros]] at [[Gangos]] (X:5.5 Y:5.4). If entering as a party, the leader must speak with the NPC.

===Forming Parties===
Unlike other instanced areas, the Bozjan southern front allows the use of party functions such as inviting party members, disbanding the party, and leaving the party without exiting the instance.
* Please note that if you enter the Bozjan southern front as a member of a party, even if you leave it while within the Bozjan southern front, you will be returned to the party upon exiting the instance.

===Level Sync===
All forays in the Bozjan southern front are [[level sync]]ed, with character levels adjusted upwards or downwards to 80. Gear is not item level synced; instead, players are given fixed stats (per equipment slot) appropriate to their job at item level 430, plus any [[Haste (Attribute)|Haste]] bonuses. This also means [[materia]] bonuses are ignored, regardless of the item level of gear affixed with materia.
* Actions requiring job quest completion will remain inaccessible if their associated quests have not been completed.
* Empty equipment slots will provide no stats.

===Earning Experience===
Players who have yet to reach level 90 will earn experience points commensurate with their job level from levels 71-80. Fixed EXP rewards are given at level 81+.

===Changing Classes and Jobs===
You may freely change between Disciple of War and Magic classes and jobs level 71 or above. Note, however, that you cannot change classes or jobs during combat or when participating in a critical engagement.

===Mounts===
Players are free to ride mounts at any time after entering the instance.
* Please note that mounts cannot fly.
* Mounts cannot be ridden when participating in a critical engagement.

===Enemies===
Enemies encountered on the Bozjan southern front will have an icon next to their name denoting their strength. The larger the number on this icon, the more powerful the enemy. Especially dangerous enemies will bear a unique (★) icon with no number.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front2.png]]

===Mettle and Resistance Rank===
===={{Mettle|size=40px}} Mettle====
By participating in battles on the Bozjan southern front, players earn mettle. After earning sufficient mettle, players can speak with the [[Resistance Commander]] to increase their Resistance rank. Players can hold a maximum of {{Mettle|25870000}} mettle.
* Please note that mettle cannot be earned by fighting enemies outside of skirmishes and critical engagements.

====Resistance Rank====
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front3.png|300px|right]]
[[Resistance Rank]] is a representation of your reputation on the Bozjan southern front. As your rank increases, the Resistance's front line will advance, allowing you to explore new areas on the southern front.

Current Resistance rank and mettle earned can be viewed at any time via the HUD.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front4.png]]

====Penalties====
After reaching Resistance rank 5, players will begin to lose mettle upon being incapacitated. Players will also lose a large amount of mettle if they return to the encampment or leave the instance without being revived.
* Resistance rank cannot go down from losing mettle.
* Because of the large penalty for "releasing", it is recommended for incapacitated players to use /shout chat and provide their current coordinates to signal to others they need to be resurrected.

===Encounters on the Bozjan Southern Front===
Players must assist the soldiers of Bozja by participating in skirmishes and critical engagements. Contributions to these battles will earn players the following rewards:

*[[Mettle]]
*[[Allagan Tomestones]] (For jobs at level cap)
*[[Experience Points]] (For jobs below level cap)
Victory in these battles is essential to pushing the front line forward and ultimately routing the imperial forces.

====Skirmishes====
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front6.png|300px|right]]
These battles appear throughout the instance, and can be joined by any number of players. Most skirmishes are commenced randomly in the field, with some being triggered by the defeat of certain enemies.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front5.png]]

====Critical Engagements====
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front8.jpg|300px|right]]
These battles are triggered by the defeat of certain enemies or victory in skirmishes, allowing only a limited number of combatants.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front7.png]]

Critical engagements do not require you to be present in the field to participate. Instead, players must request deployment via the Resistance Recruitment window.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front9.png]]

====Joining Critical Engagements====
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front10.png|300px|right]]
Once battle has commenced, critical engagements will appear in the Resistance Recruitment window. There, players can confirm whether the Resistance is enlisting more combatants to join the fray, the maximum number of participants, as well as the time remaining for the encounter.

Critical engagements take place in three phases:

'''1. Registration'''

Players will have one minute after a critical engagement has been initiated to request deployment. If there are more requests for deployment than are permitted for an engagement, however, participants will be selected at random.
* When joined in a party, the party leader must request deployment on behalf of their party. In the event participants are selected at random, the party will be accepted or declined as a whole.

'''2. Preparing for Battle'''
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front11.png|300px|right]]

Players selected for deployment will have two minutes to prepare for battle. When ready, they can be transported to the battlefield via the Resistance Recruitment window.

Should the maximum number of combatants not be reached before the preparation phase, the Resistance will call for reinforcements, at which point players may again request deployment.
* When requesting deployment as reinforcements, all players must apply separately, even if they are in a party. Furthermore, combatants will be selected in the order in which they applied rather than by lottery.

'''3. Battle Commences'''

When the preparation phase ends, players must take up arms and do battle with imperial forces.

====Priority Deployment====
It is possible to gain priority deployment for critical engagements. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

=====Combatant's Priority Deployment=====
Players who contribute to the initiation of a critical engagement may receive priority when registering for their next deployment.

=====Quartermaster's Priority Deployment=====
Players may receive priority deployment in exchange for Bozjan clusters by speaking to the Resistance quartermaster at Utya's Aegis (X:14.2 Y:29.6). It should be noted that those with combatant's priority deployment are more likely to be chosen.

* When registering as a party, all party members must have the same type of priority deployment for it to be recognized.
* If the number of players requesting priority deployment exceeds the maximum number of combatants, they will be selected by lottery.

===Bozjan Clusters===
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front12.png|300px|right]]
When defeating enemies on the Bozjan southern front, there is a chance players will come across {{Bozjan cluster}} [[Bozjan Cluster]]s. These crystals can be traded to the [[Resistance Quartermaster]] at [[Utya's Aegis]] (X:14.2 Y:29.6) for various goods and services.

The number of Bozjan clusters in your possession can be confirmed via the HUD.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front13.png]]

===Lockboxes===
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front14.png|300px|right]]
While battling on the southern front, players will also come across [[Southern Front Lockbox]]es. They can be appraised by the [[Resistance Locksmith]] at [[Utya's Aegis]] (X:15.2 Y:29.7).

===Lost Actions===
Lost actions are a special type of duty action exclusive to the Bozjan southern front. They have various effects, including those used for attacking, healing, and reviving allies. Their effective use may turn the tide of battle in your fight against the [[IVth Imperial Legion]].
* Lost actions are unlocked after reaching Resistance rank 2 and progressing the quest line.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front15.png|300px|right]]

====Forgotten Fragments and the Lost Finds Cache====
[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front16.png|300px|right]]
During their expeditions into the front, players will obtain items known as [[Forgotten Fragments]]. These can be examined by a [[Resistance Appraiser]] at Utya's Aegis (X:15.3 Y:30.1), transforming them into lost actions.

While unidentified fragments can be placed in your inventory, those transformed into lost actions are stored in the [[Lost Finds Cache]], which can hold up to 200 copies of any lost action.

====Lost Finds Holster====
To use lost actions in battle, they must first be moved from the lost finds cache to the lost finds holster.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front17.png|500px]]

It should be noted, however, that the lost finds holster has a limited capacity. While this limit can be increased with a higher Resistance rank, you must choose carefully which actions to take into battle.

Up to 10 combinations of your favorite lost actions can be saved as sets.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front18.png]]

Once a set has been loaded, your selection of actions can be confirmed in the Lost Finds Holster window.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front19.png]]

====Using Lost Actions====
While most lost actions must be converted into duty actions before they are used, some can be used directly from the holster as items.

Using as Duty Actions
Lost actions are kept in the lost finds holster until they are assigned as duty actions.
* Lost actions assigned as duty actions will not be lost upon exiting the Bozjan southern front.

[[File:The Bozjan Southern Front20.png]]

When two duty actions are set, the controls are as follows:

*Duty Action 1
RT + Right Thumb-click (R2 + R3)
*Duty Action 2
LT + Right Thumb-click (L2 + R3)

Using as Items
Lost actions categorized as items can be used directly from the lost finds holster to activate their effects. They may also be assigned to your hotbar, making them ideal for use in emergencies.

===[[Field Records]]===
As you progress through quests on the Bozjan southern front, a field record will be added to your collection. Furthermore, completion of certain quests, skirmishes, and critical engagements in the Bozjan southern front will earn you sheaves of notes. These notes can then be used to add entries to the field record.

If you should find sheaves of notes already added to your field record, they can be traded to the [[Resistance Historian]] at [[Utya's Aegis]] (X:15.0 Y:29.1) for various goods.

{{#lsth:Field Records|Southern Front}}
===Notoriety===
[[File:Notoriety1.png|right]]
Notoriety is a parameter added in [[patch 5.5]] that influences a player's chances of being selected to duel enemies.

In the event a player is not chosen to duel, participation in the prerequisite critical engagement will earn them notoriety. As notoriety increases, so too will their chances of being chosen to duel. The player with the highest notoriety when the duelist is selected will be chosen to take part in the duel. If two or more players have equal notoriety levels, a random player from those with the highest notoriety will be selected. It should be noted, however, that all notoriety is lost when selected for a duel.

==Advancement - Mettle and Resistance Rank==
Mettle and Resistance rank are similar in concept to experience and leveling, respectively. Mettle is earned by completing skirmishes and critical engagements, and on reaching a certain amounts of mettle, you will be able to increase your resistance rank by talking to the commander. Increasing your Resistance Rank is needed to progress within the front, and unlocks additional features.

==Bozja events==
===Skirmishes===
Skirmishes are functionally identical to FATEs. They require groups of players to travel to certain locations within the battlefield and complete various objective, such as killing mobs, killing a boss, or collecting supplies. Skirmishes grant mettle, experience, {{tomestone|poetics}}[[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]], and a chance for various other rewards.

===Critical Engagements===
Critical engagements are similar to skirmishes, with some key differences. They are limited in the number of players who can participate (Either 24 or 48, depending on the engagement). To participate, you need to register through the UI. If more than the maximum allowed number of players register, players will be chosen at random to participate.

If you are chosen to participate, click the Commence button in the Resistance Recruitment list to teleport to the arena. The arena will have a wall placed around it, preventing players from entering or leaving while the engagement is in progress. Critical engagements are generally more challenging than skirmishes, and grant greater rewards when completed, including mettle, experience, {{tomestone|poetics}}[[Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]], and a chance for various other rewards.

Most critical engagements contain a single boss enemy, similar to a [[raid]] or [[trial]], while others will have waves of several enemies. Being hit with any avoidable AoEs will inflict a stack of {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]] that lasts indefinitely for the rest of the engagement or until the player dies.

===[[File:critical engagement solo (map icon).png|link=|32px]] Solo Engagements (Duels)===
If you do not die and not receive any {{status effect|vulnerability up}} Vulnerability Up stacks (i.e., not be hit with any avoidable AoEs) during certain critical engagements, you will be offered a chance to register for a solo engagement. Solo engagements, or duels, are a special type of engagement that only one player can participate in, and require you to fight a powerful boss. When fought normally, they are '''very''' difficult, and only well-prepared players can complete them. There are 3 different solo engagements in the Bozjan Southern Front, and beating each one grants 99 lockboxes, an exclusive achievement and a title. They also are guaranteed to drop certain rare [[Field Notes]] that otherwise have low drop rates from other sources. When a duel is successfully completed, every player in the instance that chose to watch the duel will receive a 100% buff to mettle gain for one hour.
*There are methods ("duel cheesing") using certain combinations of [[Lost Actions]] to easily complete most duels.

==={{questlink|ce-assault|Castrum Lacus Litore|large}}===
{{main|Castrum Lacus Litore}}
Castrum Lacus Litore is a special engagement that takes place on a separate map and serves as the "finale" to the Bozjan Southern Front. Available after reaching Resistance Rank 10 and completing the prerequisite quests, it is a raid dungeon that allows up to a maximum of 48 players, and is accessed in the same way as a critical engagement. When it pops, click the Register button in the Resistance Recruitment list, and if you are selected, click Commence. Defeating bosses within Castrum Lacus Litore grants {{item icon|Bozjan Coin}}s, which can be exchanged for special armor sets.

==Differences from [[Eureka]]==
*Mettle is not awarded from killing the mobs, but clusters and fragments exclusively drop from them. Therefore, some amount of mob farming will be required, but this will not advance your resistance rank. For that, Skirmishes and Critical Engagements should be prioritized.
*Increasing Resistance Rank is required to progress the storyline and unlock new areas, similar to Eureka Elemental Level. However, unlike Elemental Level, Resistance Rank is not directly tied to player power. The primary means of progression is [[Zadnor#Resistance Honors|Resistance Honors]], which is only unlocked after completing the storyline.
*It is not possible to "de-rank" after Mettle loss on death, unlike Elemental Levels, due to Mettle being treated as an expendable resource similar to a currency.
*To alleviate "early pulling" issues with Notorious Monsters in Eureka, Critical Engagements in Bozja are more structured versions of Notorious Monsters with a time window to sign up and take place in enclosed arenas. Because of this, there is no expectation (nor is it possible) to pull them at a player-designated time to allow other players to arrive, unlike with Notorious Monsters.

All gear rewards are HQ {{HQ}}.

The correct spring crystal is at (x:30.7, y:36.8).

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Laniaitte]].
*Speak with [[Emmanellain]].
*Speak with [[Emmanellain]] near [[Voor Sian Siran]].
*Search for a [[Spring Crystal|spring crystal]] in [[Voor Sian Siran]].
*Deliver the [[Spring Crystal|spring crystal]] to [[Honoroit]].

==Journal==
* Ser Marielle fears what might come of Lord Emmanellain's newfound ambition.

* If Lady Laniaitte acquiesces to Lord Emmanellain's demand for a more dangerous duty, then it would surely be necessary for you to accompany the young lord. Ser Marielle has asked you to return to the garrison commander and see if her fears are well founded.

* Because wells cannot be dug in the Sea of Clouds, the knights of Ishgard must explore other means of obtaining potable water─perhaps through the use of a unique type of water crystal found in the floating lakes of Voor Sian Siran. Resigned to the fact that Lord Emmanellain will not be denied, Lady Laniaitte has decided to task him with the retrieval of one such crystal. This should serve to mollify the young lord.

* Lord Emmanellain accepts the orders with his usual enthusiasm and sets out for Voor Sian Siran with his manservant in tow. Follow them.

* Growing bored due to the absence of any discernible threat, Lord Emmanellain abruptly decides on a whim to turn your mission into a contest in which each of you searches for the finest spring crystal you can find, with Honoroit to determine the winner. Before you can speak a word of protest, the young lord runs off, and you have no choice but to indulge his whim.

* You come upon what you judge to be a particularly impressive spring crystal. Hopefully Honoroit will feel the same.

* Honoroit ponders the unique properties of the spring crystal, including how it can be used to draw moisture from the air like water from a pump. It would seem you were the first to return and present him with an entry, for Lord Emmanellain is nowhere to be seen...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the Quest===
'''Marielle:''' If Lord Emmanellain is going to demand a more dangerous duty, then I expect Lady Laniaitte will want you to accompany him.
'''Marielle:''' Aye, you might as well speak with her sooner rather than later. There's no use avoiding the inevitable.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Marielle:''' You ought to go and see if Lady Laniaitte needs you to keep an eye on Lord Emmanellain. I've nothing else for you at the moment, in any case.

'''Emmanellain:''' I'll have you know I trained with some of the finest instructors in Ishgard! You and me, we could march right into a Vanu stronghold and give them all what for!

'''Honoroit:''' Oh dear, oh dear...and just when everything was going so well...

===Speaking with Laniaitte===
'''Laniaitte:''' Master/Mistress [Surname]! Lord Emmanellain has just informed me that “mere sentry duty” is beneath him. I understand we have you to thank for this epiphany?
'''Laniaitte:''' Well, there's nothing for it but to give him something more demanding, then. Can I count on you to keep him safe?
'''Laniaitte:''' Excellent. We are in constant need of fresh water in Camp Cloudtop, as there are no underground sources we can tap with wells. However, there is a unique variety of crystal we have recently discovered which may enable us to obtain water through other means.
'''Laniaitte:''' These spring crystals can be found in Voor Sian Siran, to the east of here. I would have you and Emmanellain bring one back to us.
'''Laniaitte:''' You may have to contend with the feral beasts which populate the lakes, not to mention Vanu scouts ranging from their nearby settlement. Of course, that all pales in comparison to keeping the young lord entertained, but you have doubtless grown accustomed to that by now. Good luck, and be safe.

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Laniaitte:''' As before, I ask that you brief Emmanellain on his mission in my stead. I think he may find the task more palatable coming from you.

===Speaking with Emmanellain===
'''Emmanellain:''' Hm? Lady Laniaitte told you to tell me about my mission once again? If I didn't know any better, I'd swear she's avoiding me! Anyway, what is it?

'''<What will you say?>'''
'''<A vital mission, on the success of which the very survival of Camp Cloudtop rests: the procurement of potable water.>'''
'''<Go and fetch a spring crystal from the floating lakes to the east. With me.>'''
'''<...>'''

'''''<A vital mission, on the success of which the very survival of Camp Cloudtop rests: the procurement of potable water.>'''''
'''Emmanellain:''' Finally! It's about time she entrusted me with a mission of real import. Right, then─let's go, let's go!

'''''<Go and fetch a spring crystal from the floating lakes to the east. With me.>'''''
'''Emmanellain:''' ...You're not making this sound terribly appealing. Still, I shall be glad to have you along. Come along, then!

'''''<...>'''''
'''Emmanellain:''' Again with the silent treatment? Really now, that's just mean. That's ''mean''!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Honoroit:''' I had heard the minstrels' tales of these lakes, but I never honestly believed that they were real!

===Speaking with Emmanellain near Voor Sian Siran===
'''Emmanellain:''' So this is the Voor Sian Siran of legend. And nary a Vanu in sight. How disappointing. I could do with some sport.
'''Emmanellain:''' I know! Why don't you and I make it a competition? Whoever finds the superior specimen wins!
'''Emmanellain:''' Honoroit shall judge our entries on size, purity, and, say, aesthetic sensibilities! Let us begin at once!

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Honoroit:''' I wish he would have at least stayed within sight...

===Searching for a spring cystal in Voor Sian Siran===
'''System:''' This water crystal does not appear to exhibit the properties described by Lady Laniaitte. Perhaps you should inspect another.

'''System:''' This crystal appears to be secreting a steady stream of water. Perhaps it is the spring crystal Lady Laniaitte seeks...

====Optional Dialogue====
'''Emmanellain:''' Ah ah ah! This area is mine! You'll have to look elsewhere for your inferior specimen!

===Delivering the spring crystal to Honoroit===
'''Honoroit:''' Ah, Master/Mistress [Surname]. Have you brought your entry for the contest?
'''''<Hand Over Spring Crystal>'''''
'''Honoroit:''' My understanding of such things is...limited, but can this truly be used to draw moisture from air like water from a pump? Fascinating...

Those who set foot inside its maddening halls find their vigor drained by an irresistible fog of innervation, and repeated excursions have failed to map its seemingly inconstant architecture.

It's located in [[South Shroud]] at [[Quarrymill]] (X:25.2 Y:20.6), and is unlocked by the quest {{questlink|feature|The House That Death Built}}. As a [[wikipedia:Roguelike|roguelike]] dungeon<ref>Or "roguelikelike", according to the standards of [https://bp.io/howroguelike/ "How Roguelike is your game"]</ref>, the Palace of the Dead's objective is to descend each varying floor, fighting creatures along the way while dealing with hazardous environments, until eventually reaching a boss that awaits at the bottom level.

== Mechanics ==
{{#ev:youtube|fdRz5DH2irc|400|right|A Brief Explanation}}
{{#ev:youtube|TqrxkSbc4Ys|400|right|What To Do}}
The Palace of the Dead has specific features for characters and data saving.
=== Entry interface ===
Players can enter the dungeon or manage character data by talking to [[Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain]], located in [[Quarrymill]]. He offers the following interface:

[[File:Palace of the Dead main menu.jpg|alt=Palace of the Dead main menu|250px]]

Each option means:
* '''1- Name''' — Character name and title.
* '''2- Gear''' — Character aetherpool gear level, including armor and arm (more information below).
* '''3- Commands''' — Commands to enter Palace of the Dead, manage save data, reset save data, or learn more about the dungeon.

'''Important:''' Regardless of which option is chosen (new run, load slot, reset slot, etc.), the aetherpool gear level will never be erased. The only way that aetherpool data may be lost is by expending gear level for [[#Padjali weapons|Padjal]] or [[#Kinna weapons|Kinna weapons]] (more information below).

==== Enter the Palace of the Dead ====
This option serves to enter the dungeon. It offers two slots to save your progression within Palace of the Dead. You may pick an empty slot to start a new run, or load a previously saved run.

[[File:Palace of the Dead main select slot.jpg|alt=Palace of the Dead select slot|400px]]

Entering the Palace of the Dead has the following requirements:
* '''Class requirement:''' [[Disciple of War]] or [[Disciple of Magic]]
* '''Item level requirement:''' None
* '''Item level sync:''' None
* '''Party size:''' Light Party (up to four players)
* '''Time limit:''' 60 minutes
* There are extra requirements depending on level range:
** '''51-100''' — Players are required to complete level 50 and the quest [[What Lies Beneath]].
** '''101-200''' — Players are required to be in a fixed party.

There are two options to manage Palace of the Dead entry:
* '''Enter with a fixed party:''' You will start the run with a pre-made party (or solo), and you can only load this slot with members having the same respective progress slot available (this includes all party members ''and'' party composition chosen upon registering). This is also the only way to progress past level 100.
* '''Enter with a matched party:''' The [[Duty Finder]] will attempt to match a party seeking the same floor as your party. Similarly, you can only load this slot with members having the same respective progress slot available. You may only progress up to level 100 using this option.
Additionally, there are two floors from which players can start:
* '''Floor one:''' Start on floor number 1.
* '''Floor fifty-one:''' Start on floor number 51. This option is only available after you have cleared floor 50 and completed {{questlink|feature|The Nightmare's End}}.

==== Reset your progress ====
This option will prompt you to reset your progress, and it will completely erase your data. Remember that this process cannot be undone.

==== Disband your party ====
This option converts a fixed party saved data to a matched party saved data, and reset pomander information. Under these conditions you will be able to be matched with other players who are currently playing on the same floor as you. If any members of a fixed party are unable to enter the deep dungeon after the deletion of save data or usage of the world transfer service, they must select "Disband your fixed party" to carry over their save data.

==== View your scores ====
When challenging the Palace of the Dead, players receive a score based on a number of factors such as highest floor reached and number of enemies slain. Separate scores for both solo and party play will be assigned after being defeated or clearing certain floors. The scores of players who venture beyond floor 100 may also appear on the [http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ranking/deepdungeon/ rankings page] on the Lodestone.

This option shows your score per class/job, and takes you to the Lodestone.

==== Learn about the Palace of the Dead ====
This option shows additional information about the Palace of the Dead.

=== Character growth ===
The Palace of the Dead employs a set of rules and mechanics unique to the deep dungeon.

==== Level ====
Upon registering for floor one, players will start at level 1 regardless of their current class or job level; for floor fifty-one, players will continue from level 60. By defeating monsters that appear in the dungeon, players will be able to gain EXP and level their characters up to 60 while below floor 51. The levels gained in progression of the dungeon, however, will not be the same as what players will receive upon clearing.

Your level inside the PotD can exceed your class level.

==== [[Experience]] ====
All enemies players encounter in the Palace of the Dead will give a fixed amount of EXP regardless of the number of members in your party or the difference in level between you and the enemy. Rested experience and experience bonuses besides the [[Armory Bonus]] (e.g. [[food]] or [[Free Company Actions|FC Buffs]]) will also be ignored.

Players have the full 60 minutes to run around and level up, but once you move forward you can't go back and keep your progress. The actual character experience gained is based on your current PotD level when you complete the set of floors. The amount is approximately 30% of a level for the first 10 floors, and is incrementally 10% higher for completing each subsequent floor set. This experience is awarded every time the floor set (10 floors) is cleared.

==== [[Action]]s ====
There are no adjustments to or restrictions on any actions, role actions, or statuses. However, players must first reach the required level in the dungeon to have access to them. Players will even have the opportunity to gain actions and statuses above their current level regardless of whether they have completed the necessary class or job quests.

Please note that players who have entered the deep dungeon with a [[class]] will be restricted from using any [[job]] actions. Role slots become available at the levels at which they would during normal leveling.

=== Consumables ===
You can use any [[consumable]] item, including those from outside the PotD. HQ {{HQ}} [[potions]] will drop from enemies inside. A good supply of {{HQ}} HQ potions will make jobs without heals viable as well as [[Sustaining Potion]]s exchanged from [[Gelmorran Potsherd]]s, but they will need to beware of [[#Traps and Floor Effects|traps]]. Several traps within cause long-duration status effects which can be cleansed normally using the respective potions. [[Food]] will provide a benefit to stats, but not to XP gained.

=== Aetherpool Gear ===
When entering the Palace of the Dead, players are assigned an aetherpool rating. It's a measure of your character strength and defense within the PotD, and should be directly considered a stat. As long as the player completes a floor set (every 10 floors), any gains made are permanent (saved). It is the only attribute which affects your character in PotD (aside from level), and it's not tied to any class, weapon, or gear.

==== Strengthening aetherpool gear ====
Aetherpool gear can be enhanced by opening [[#Treasure coffers|Silver Coffers]]. These coffers appear randomly on each floor and have a low chance of dropping from enemies (higher under the effect of a [[#Pomanders|Pomander of Fortune]]). When enhancing gear, there is a chance of failure that varies depending on the current level of your gear and the floor where the silver coffer is found. Aetherpool gear can be enhanced to a maximum strength of +99. In the event the strength of your aetherpool gear exceeds the maximum allowed by your current floor, its attributes will be synced.

Fully upgrading your aetherpool gear requires repeating floors. However, aetherpool gear will not be upgraded if its rating would become a higher number than the floor you are on, i.e. it's not possible to farm floors 1-10 to maximize your stats for example. Failed attempts at enhancing aetherpool gear will show the message "Your aetherpool arm/armor remains unchanged."

Although upgrades are not guaranteed when the floor exceeds your aetherpool rating, the greater the difference, the higher the chance that you will gain a +3 increase instead of +1. (Your aetherpool arm/armor flares, instead of flickers).

==== Progress and syncing ====
Upon successfully finishing a Palace of the Dead run – completing all ten floors – any aetherpool progress and Accursed Hoards obtained are kept. Failing to complete the duty due to time running out or party KO, before finishing the tenth level, will result in lost progress to experience, attained aetherpool gear level, and Accursed Hoards obtained.

After level 1, your aetherpool gear will be synced if its rating is higher than 1/2 your current level.

==== Gear durability and spiritbonding ====
Aetherpool gear is not subject to durability loss, nor can it gain spiritbond when inside the Palace of the Dead. This also applies to any gear equipped upon entering the instance.

== Floor mechanics ==
Inside Palace of the Dead, players are subject to various mechanics. The Character Panel is changed to show the player's current aetherpool gear level (arm and armor), current pomanders available, and active pomanders. The map is also changed to show each floor map; note that it is hidden at the start and it's uncovered as players progress throughout the rooms.

=== Map ===
Hitting M now shows the Palace of the Dead floor map along with a header UI.

[[File:Palace of the Dead floor map.png|alt=Palace of the Dead floor map]]

The map displays the following information:
* Header UI
** [[#Cairn_of_Return|Cairn of Return]] activation status (more information below).
** [[#Cairn_of_Passage|Cairn of Passage]] activation status (more information below).
** Map enchantments — Each floor can have active enchantments on it; these change various aspects of gameplay such as quicker cast/recast time, or reduced party damage, etc. More information below.
** Floor level.
* Map UI
** Floor rooms — The rooms are uncovered as players visit them. The Pomander of Sight uncovers the whole floor at once.
** Each floor may contain additional information:
*** Green flag — This is the initial room when you are first transported into the floor.
*** Leaf-like icon — This icon denotes the Cairn of Return.
*** Key-like icon — This icon denotes the Cairn of Passage.
*** Golden chests — These are the [[#Treasure_coffers|Golden Coffers]], which contain buffs in them (more information below).
*** Silver chests — These are [[#Treasure_coffers|Silver Coffers]]; they offer a chance to strengthen your aetherpool gear (more information below).
*** Bronze chests — These are [[#Treasure_coffers|Bronze Coffers]]; they contain items in them (more information below).
*** PS: If a room contains a Golden Coffer, the map will always display only a golden chest icon there. This means such room still has a chance to have a Bronze/Silver Coffer. That may confuse groups that use a Pomander of Sight to reveal the whole floor, and are seeking Bronze/Silver Coffers.

==== Cairn of Return ====
[[File:Palace of the Dead (Cairn of Return).png|thumb|right|100px|Cairn of Return.]] The Cairn of Return is a magical resurrection device within Palace of the Dead. It serves to resurrect fallen party members. Similarly to the Cairn of Passage, in order to use it players need to kill creatures until it lights up. For groups with no jobs able to resurrect, it's very important to have the Cairn of Return activated in case someone dies.

The Cairn of Return indicates how far it is from activation by the header icon above the floor map.
* [[File:Cairn of Return (Inactive).png|alt=Cairn of Return inactive|20px]] — Inactive
* [[File:Cairn of Return (Nearing activation).png|alt=Cairn of Return nearing activation|20px]] — Nearing activation
* [[File:Cairn of Return (Activated).png|alt=Cairn of Return inactive|20px]] — Activated
{{clear}}

==== Cairn of Passage ====
[[File:Palace of the Dead (Cairn of Passage).png|thumb|right|160px|Cairn of Passage.]] The Cairn of Passage is a magical transportation area within Palace of the Dead. It serves to teleport the group to the next floor. In order to activate it, players need to kill creatures in the floor until it lights up. Once it lights up, ''all'' party members must stand within the glowing area to teleport to the next floor. Note that the Cairn of Passage won't teleport the group if someone is in combat, therefore requiring to kill any aggroed creatures, or if someone is dead.

Cairn of Passage indicates how far it is from activation by the header icon above the floor map.
* [[File:Cairn of Passage (Inactive).png|alt=Cairn of Passage inactive|20px]] — Inactive
* [[File:Cairn of Passage (Nearing activation).png|alt=Cairn of Passage nearing activation|20px]] — Nearing activation
* [[File:Cairn of Passage (Activated).png|alt=Cairn of Passage inactive|20px]] — Activated

=== Character panel ===
Character panel is changed while inside Palace of the Dead, and displays information related to the current floor or set of floors.

[[File:Palace of the Dead character panel.png|altPalace of the Dead character panel|240px]]

This UI displays the following information:
* Level, class/job, and experience to the next PotD level.
* Aetherpool gear level — This is broken into arm (strength) and armor (defense), each can increase up to +99.
* Items — This is a list of all [[#Pomanders|pomanders]] obtained in the current run, as well as [[#Accursed Hoard|accursed hoards]] acquired.
* Item effects — This is a list of all active pomander effects inside PotD.

=== Environment ===
[[File:Palace of the Dead environment.jpg|thumb|right|Palace of the Dead rooms.]] The Palace of the Dead is a dangerous place, and its danger increases at each floor the group descends. Floors are composed of rooms which contain mostly hostile creatures awaiting players to attack, but they may also hold treasures for those bold enough to venture forward. Each group of ten floors, called a ''floor set'', is considered a PotD run, and beating all ten levels will complete the duty.

All creatures inside PotD are [[Aggression|aggressive]] (with one exception). Creature density varies with each room and floor level, and as players descend to lower floor sets, some patrolling mobs will start roaming the rooms to catch players off guard. At every tenth level there will be a boss guarding the exit; beating the boss completes the floor set, and awards players all [[#Rewards|rewards]] obtained over the course of the duty.

==== Hostile coffers ====
These hostile coffers are random, and can be encountered in most levels:
* Silver Coffer Trap — This silver coffer looks like a regular one, but will explode upon opening, dealing high damage in an area around it. It's recommended players don't attempt to continue walking until they have their health back. It's fairly common for groups to wipe because players chain Silver Coffer Traps with explosion traps, since both cause high AoE damage, instead of standing still to recover their health.
* Golden Coffer Trap — This golden coffer also looks like a regular one, but will become a Mimic upon opening. Since Mimics can apply the Pox debuff, which causes damage over time for 10 minutes, they should be killed quickly before having a chance to apply the debuff.

==== Floor enchantments ====
There's a chance for some floors to have one or more special effects. These effects which affect the whole floor are called enchantments.

=== Pomanders ===
Pomanders are items exclusive to Palace of the Dead acquired by opening Golden Treasure Coffers. Each pomander has an effect that may change party strengths, enemies around them, or the room itself. There are three pomanders which affect the next floor: Pomander of Affluence, Pomander of Alteration, and Pomander of Flight; all other pomanders take effect immediately for the current floor. For example, Pomander of Sight immediately reveals the current floor, while Pomander of Affluence will increase the number of treasure coffers for the next floor.

Pomanders can have a maximum stack of 3 per type, any excess will be returned unless the pomander is used. All obtained and active pomanders are listed in the changed [[#Character panel|character panel]].

'''Note:''' Some pomanders won't have any effect upon using more than one, this includes Pomander of Purity, Pomander of Safety, Pomander of Serenity, Pomander of Sight, Pomander of Steel, and Pomander of Strength. The last two will only replace any applied buff.

=== Traps ===
As players progress, they will arrive on floors with traps scattered around the rooms that will be set off when walked across. These traps are invisible unless a player has a [[#Pomanders|Pomander of Sight]] which can reveal their locations. At most one trap will spawn per room, and traps do not spawn in starting rooms.

|}

=== Treasure coffers ===
Treasure coffers are special chests scattered around rooms with each floor inside Palace of the Dead. They contain varied items and each type works differently:

* '''Golden Coffers:''' These coffers yield [[#Pomanders|pomanders]], but may occasionally trigger a [[#Hostile coffers|Mimic trap]].
* '''Silver Coffers:''' These coffers strengthen [[#Aetherpool Gear|aetherpool gear]], but may occasionally trigger an [[#Hostile coffers|explosion trap]].
* '''Bronze Coffers:''' These coffers will always offer an item, including a {{item icon|Max-Potion}} {{HQ}}, a {{item icon|Gelmorran Potsherd}} or a {{item icon|Phoenix Down}}.

</gallery>

=== Accursed Hoard ===
While exploring the Palace of the Dead, players will, on occasion, discover hidden treasure known as the Accursed Hoard. These items are counted on the [[#Character panel|character panel]] as players unveil their respective treasure coffers. Since these coffers are hidden by default, players can discover them by remaining stationary for a brief period of time at various locations, or they may activate a [[#Pomanders|Pomander of Intuition]], which reveals them. Upon using the aforementioned pomander players will have a notification stating whether there's an Accursed Hoard in the current floor, and can then seek out a golden glowing light to reveal the coffer.

Upon saving progress and exiting the Palace of the Dead, all party members are granted the same number of Accursed Hoards which will translate into a trimmed sack item. Players can take these items to the [[Expedition Bishop]] at Quarrymill in the South Shroud (x25.1,y20.6) to have it appraised and discover what lies within.

<gallery mode=packed>
File:Accursed Hoard Coffer.jpg|Accursed Hoard Coffer.
File:Accursed Hoard signal.jpg|A golden glowing light signals there's an Accursed Hoard Coffer at such location.
</gallery>

==== Contents ====
Depending on the Palace of the Dead's level, Accursed Hoards are translated into different trimmed sacks. Each sack contains varied items which range from fireworks to [[materia]] or even [[minion]]s and [[mount]]s:
* {{item icon|Bronze-trimmed Sack}}s — Floors 1-50
* {{item icon|Iron-trimmed Sack}}s — Floors 51-100
* {{item icon|Silver-trimmed Sack}}s — Floors 101-150
* {{item icon|Gold-trimmed Sack}}s — Floors 151-200

Appraising these sacks at the [[Expedition Bishop]] will unveil their contents. If the outer ring flashes it will be a rare treasure, if the outer ring does ''not'' flash it will be a normal treasure.

== Floors ==

; Boss
[[Palace Deathgaze]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss doesn't deal a lot of damage as long as players avoid the telegraphed AoEs. The boss will fire an attack called '''Bombination''', a point-blank AoE that will debuff anyone hit with [[Slow]], as well as '''Aeroblast''' which will hit the entire party with an unavoidable attack. It is recommended to save a [[Pomander of Lust]] for this fight, as the '''Voidfire II''' deals heavy damage against the boss.

; Boss
*[[Sporge]]

'''Strategy''':

Similar to the previous boss, as long as players avoid the telegraphed AoEs, they will not take too much damage. The boss will use a telegraphed cleave called '''Bloody Caress''' that deals heavy damage. The boss will also fire an unavoidable AoE, after which the boss will summon two [[Palace Hornet]]s, which will cast an unavoidable '''Final Sting''', killing players if they aren't defeated quickly enough. The boss will also cast '''Rotten Stench''', a long line AoE that deals heavy damage if players don't avoid it.

; Boss
*[[Ningishzida]]

'''Strategy''':

This boss will create lingering AoEs around the arena underneath players that deal damage and debuffs if players stand in them. It is recommended that players move to the edge of the arena to drop the first few AoEs to avoid dropping them in the center of the arena, making movement easier. The boss will jump to the center of the arena and cast '''Fear Itself''', an attack that deals massive damage and inflicts [[Terror]]. The only safe area is in the center of the arena with the boss.

; Boss
*[[Ixtab]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss will cast lingering AoEs under players which need to be dropped around the edges of the arena, then summon ads. The ads need to be killed, or the boss will cast '''Scream''', hitting all players and marking them with [[Prey]], causing the ads to target those players with '''Tornado''', killing them. The boss will follow this up with '''Shadow Flare''', an unavoidable room-wide AoE that deals heavy damage.

; Boss
*[[Edda Blackbosom]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss will periodically cast '''In Sickness''', a large AoE that players need to avoid, or '''In Health''', a room-wide attack that has a safe spot under the boss. Getting hit by either of these will cause runes to light up on the floor, making the boss's attack '''Dark Harvest''' deal more damage. if 5 runes are lit up, the party will be wiped. The boss can also inflict [[Disease]], and casts '''Cold Feet''' which requires players to turn away from the boss to avoid.

; Boss
*[[The Black Rider]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss will summon various AoEs around the edge of the arena that explode after a short while, and casts '''Valfodr''', charging at a player and closing the gap between them. This will hit anyone between the boss and its target, dealing heavy damage. This will also cause a large knockback, trying to bump players into the exploding AoEs. The boss can also turn towards a player and cast an untelegraphed '''Hall of Sorrow''', dropping a persisting AoE that inflicts [[Bleed]] until players step out of it.

; Boss
*[[Gudanna]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss will cast '''Charybdis''', dropping a large persistent AoE that deals heavy damage and inflicts [[Windburn], a Damage over Time debuff. The boss will also cast '''Thunderbolt''', a frontal-cone AoE that deals high damage. The boss will also leap to one of the cardinals and fire '''Trounce''', covering a large portion of the arena in an AoE. Players will need to move to the hitbox of the boss to avoid the attack.

'''Strategy''':

The boss will summon ads that will cause small explosions around the arena, requiring players to be careful where they are moving. The boss will also cast '''Sap''' on random players. The boss will also summon [[Grey Bombs]] that need to be defeated quickly. Finally, the boss will regularly cast '''Massive Burst''', an attack that can take players to 1 HP and isn't affected by mitigation. This, however, can be interrupted to prevent any damage.

; Boss
*[[Nybeth Obdilord]]

'''Strategy''':

The boss will cast '''Abyss''' on the main target, dealing heavy damage in a small AoE. It will also cast '''World of Pain''', an unavoidable room-wide AoE. The boss casts '''Shackle''', firing a line-AoE towards a random player. The boss can also cast '''Summon Darkness''', summoning several adds to the fight and resurrecting any already killed. Finally, the boss will turn toward the center of the arena and cast '''Doom''' in a wide frontal-cone, killing any player hit. For this reason, pulling the boss to the center of the arena makes the attack much easier to avoid.

Kuribu's Heavenly Judgement will remove the dead adds from the ground, preventing him from rezzing them.

Players will need to be ready to pull the boss to the center of the arena immediately after the second firing of the ice AoE to avoid this.

However, the boss will also say '''"Darkness, to me!"''', summoning four [[Fanatic Zombies]] that slowly move towards players. These zombies will pin a player to where they are standing until they are defeated. The boss will also summon a [[Fanatic Succubus]], which will begin attacking players with auto-attacks and cleaves. This needs to be defeated quickly, otherwise the boss will eventually consume it, restoring its HP equal to the HP of the ad. Once the ad is consumed, the boss will cast '''Blood Rain''', a room-wide attack that deals heavy damage.

* '''Charybdis''' fires twice in a row and will most likely kill a player if hit.
* '''Trounce''' will also kill a player if hit, and the boss only uses this attack from the north and south of the arena.
* Once the boss reaches 15% HP, the boss will repeatedly cast '''Ecliptic Meteor''', dealing massive damage every 9-10 seconds.

===If you have reached floor 50 or 100===
A {{item icon|Gelmorran Potsherd}} will be awarded. This item can be traded to the NPC [[E-Una-Kotor]] in the [[South Shroud]] at [[Quarrymill]].

=== Aetherpool weapons ===
[[File:Palace of the Dead Weapons.png|300px|right]]
[[File:Kinna Weapons.jpg|300px|right]]
If you have strengthened your aetherpool arm and aetherpool armor to +10 in addition to clearing floor 50 of the Palace of the Dead, you can receive an {{item icon|Aetherpool Grip}}, which can be used to exchange for a weapon of your choosing by speaking with the NPC [[E-Una-Kotor]] in the [[South Shroud]]. Please note that by receiving an aetherpool grip, the strength of your aetherpool arm and armor used in the [[Palace of the Dead]] will be reduced by 10.
{{see also|Padjali Weapons|Kinna Weapons}}
== Tips and tricks ==
The tips and tricks below have been collected from players and are intended to make Palace of the Dead runs safer and more productive:
* Try and stay close to your group to avoid being wiped alone.
* When crossing rooms, walk closer to walls as there is less chance for traps near walls.
* When luring an instant-kill creature, kill it as soon as possible to prevent the party or party members from wiping.
* Save pomanders instead of using them in any situation, unless your party is capped at three pomanders. Some guidelines are as following:
** Pomander of Witching: Use when a lure trap is triggered or there's a filled room your party has to cross.
** Pomander of Rage: Use when approaching second-to-last or last floors before boss.
** Pomander of Lust: Use in the boss floor to lower a boss' defense. One person is enough.
* Don't bother with Silver Chests if everybody in the party has +99/+99 Aetherpool Gear as these chests may trigger a bomb.
* Avoid opening Silver Chests when either you or a nearby party member is below 80% Max HP, as that person will die.
* Healers are advised to aid a member suffering from Pox by casting a regen on them if possible.

== Notes ==
* {{questlink|ddungeon|Heaven-on-High}} is the second [[Deep Dungeon|deep dungeon]] introduced with [[Stormblood]]. It shares almost all rules with Palace of the Dead with a few exceptions.

==Achievements==
The Palace of the Dead is associated with the following [[achievements]]:

__NOTOC__
==Walkthrough==
All gear rewards are HQ {{HQ}}.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Hozan]].
*Speak with [[Hozan]].
*Speak with [[Doware]] in front of [[Halatali]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].
*Enter the [[Waking Sands]].
*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*There is no telling when [[Raubahn]] may be executed. Make your preparations without delay, and signal your readiness to begin the mission to the waiting [[Hozan]].

*With the aid of [[Alphinaud]] and [[Yugiri]], you have succeeded in rescuing Raubahn from the clutches of the traitorous [[Crystal Braves]]. Make your way back outside to [[eastern Thanalan]].

*You emerge in the hot desert air. Speak with [[Doware]], who awaits your return.

*Outside [[Halatali]], you are approached by a messenger, who claims that his mistress is sympathetic to your cause. For your own safety, he bids you make your way to the [[Waking Sands]]. Speak with Alphinaud to learn what he thinks of this mysterious invitation.

*Alphinaud is sufficiently convinced that the messenger and his mistress can be trusted. Do as bade and make your way to [[western Thanalan]], where your old haunt the Waking Sands still stands.

*Upon arriving at the Waking Sands, you are greeted by a number of familiar faces -- [[Urianger]], [[Pipin]], and [[Papashan]]. Soon after, it is revealed that the messenger's mistress is no less an individual than [[Dewlala]], head of the [[Order of Nald'thal]] and member of the [[The Syndicate|Syndicate]]. To Raubahn's immense relief, she confirms Alphinaud's suspicion that [[Nanamo]] is still alive, and goes on to speculate that the sultana may be confined somewhere in a state of induced slumber. Trouble Alphinaud for his thoughts on these revelations.

*Alphinaud thanks you for your part in Raubahn's rescue. With the Flame General safe, your work in [[Ul'dah]] is done for now.

==Solo Duty Walkthrough==
Upon speaking with [[Hozan]] a second time, you will enter a duty to rescue [[Raubahn]].
*[[Yugiri]] and [[Alphinaud]] will accompany you, both weilding DPS and healing abilities.
*Proceed northwest through the open doors, fighting a series [[Crystal Braves|Crystal Brave]] enemies. A cutscene will trigger at the end of the path; immediately afterward you will find yourself trapped in a room filling with a poison mist. Quickly destroy the Iron Cell and escape with Alphinaud.
*Return to the starting point of the duty while defeating [[Acerbic Jam]]s, keeping an eye on Raubahn's vitality. You will find a set of stairs that lead up to the source of the poison. Destroy the device to proceed.
*Follow the newly-opened path to the southwest, defeating any enemies that appear. Grab the key.
*Return to Raubahn and watch another cutscene. The final fight of the duty will follow, against [[Ilberd]], [[Yuyuhase]], [[Laurentius]], and two more Crystal Braves.
**Ilberd will focus on you, but your first priority should be taking out the nameless [[Crystal Brave Conjurer|conjurer]] and [[Crystal Brave Archer|archer]]. Next, turn your attention to Yuyuhase, followed by Laurentius, and finally Ilberd.
**Periodically, Ilberd will jump to one side of the arena and start casting Sanguine Blade, an untelegraphed frontal cleave. Stand behind him to avoid this attack.

==Journal==
*Eager to obtain additional readings with which to confirm his theory, your [[Unsettled Scholar|scholarly companion]] proposes a visit to [[Urth's Fount]]. Proceed to the next -- and hopefully final -- survey site.

*Having arrived in Urth's Fount, the scholar bids you do what you have done before: stand watch at an appropriate distance while he takes his measurements.

*The survey takes a tragic twist when the scholar discovers the body of [[Wilred]], the young [[Ala Mhigan]] whom you personally recruited to the [[Crystal Braves]]. [[Hoary Boulder]] and [[Coultenet]] soon arrive at the scene, and they conclude that the boy was murdered -- though by whom and for what reason they can only speculate. The pair offer to look after the scholar in your stead and implore you to report the boy's death to [[Minfilia Warde|Minfilia]] at the [[Rising Stones]].

*The news of Wilred's death comes as a shock to Minfilia, who cannot fathom why anyone would want to harm the boy. In a hollow voice, she declares that [[Alphinaud]] will want to conduct an investigation and send word to Wilred's family, before sinking back into her own thoughts...

Trials

{{TOCRIGHT}}
==Introduction==
[[Trials]] are encounters where adventurers fight together against extremely powerful creatures. Each trial consists of a single boss fight (a few are broken up into two parts). When the boss is defeated, players are rewarded with story progression, tokens or rare items. A few early trials require a [[Party#Light Party|light party]] of 4 players while most others need a [[Party#Full Party|full party]] of 8.

The lists are broken into 2 sections for each expansion: story-mode '''Trials''', and '''High-end Trials'''. Players are expected by the developers to be able to clear all story-mode Trails, with the High-end section being significantly more difficult completely optional content.

| description = [[House Durendaire]]'s efforts to establish an outpost in [[Snowcloak]] have met with disaster, owing to a surprise attack by [[Iceheart]]'s followers. Now in possession of their former fortress, as well as a vast supply of crystals, the heretics are certain to summon Saint [[Shiva]] once more. If past experience is any indication, this new incarnation will be stronger than the last. Regardless, it changes nothing─ Iceheart's crusade cannot continue, and only you have the power to stop her.

==Strategy==
===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] Lady of Frost: [[Shiva]]===
===Abilities===
====Unarmed Form====
After using a weapon, Shiva will perform 2 unarmed attacks before using another weapon.

'''Dreams of Ice''': Shiva gains a permanent, stackable damage buff. This serves as an enrage timer.

'''Icicle Impact''': Circles appear on the ground in various patterns, and after a moment, the circles disappear and icicles drop down, dealing heavy damage to all players hit.

====Sword Form====
Shiva's auto attacks inflict stacks of Blunt Resistance Down on the main tank. The tank will take more damage from her auto attacks when she switches back to Staff Form.

*'''Tanks''': When Shiva equips her sword, she will immediately use Icebrand.'''DO NOT''' wait for the weapon buff to come up or will be too late to turn her towards your party to mitigate '''Ice Brand'''.

'''Icbrand''': Conal attack that deals a total of 18k damage, split between all the players hit by it. Will go through tank invuln. The whole party should be hit by the attack.

'''Glacier Bash''': Conal attack that deals heavy damage and stuns anyone caught in it. The tank can avoid it by running through Shiva after she starts casting it.

'''Heavenly Strike''': Knockback from Shiva.

'''Whiteout''': Untelegraphed donut AoE.

'''Rotation: Ice Brand -> Glacier Bash -> Whiteout''' (Heavenly Strikes are used randomly throughout)

====Staff Form====
Shiva's auto attacks inflict stacks of Slashing Resistance Down on the main tank. The tank will take more damage from her auto attacks when she switches back to Sword Form.

*When Shiva equips her staff, she will immediately cast '''Hail Storm'''. '''DO NOT''' wait to run out to the edges - it should be your '''INITIAL''' reaction.

'''Hail Storm''': Ice AoEs will spawn on players' heads. Spread out to avoid hitting each other.

'''Absolute Zero''': Raidwide.

====Bow Form====
Only in Phase 3.

Shiva's auto attacks are unaffected by Slashing/Blunt Resistance Down while in this form but deal increased damage.

'''Glass Dance''': Used at the start of Bow Form. Fires icicles in a 270 degree cone around her, dealing 10k damage to all players hit. Your entire party needs to stand directly behind her to avoid the damage.

'''Avalanche''': Places a mark above a random player. After a moment Shiva will fire a line AoE at the target, knocking back the marked player and anyone nearby. The knockback can be cancelled with Arm's Length/Surecast. It is used about 20 seconds after start of Bow Form.

*Move her close to the north edge of the arena. Have the marked player stand behind Shiva while the rest of the party stands in front of her. This will cause the player to be knocked back harmlessly towards the south of the room but not far enough to hit the wall and become frozen.

===Phase 1: 100% - 80%===
In phase 1 Shiva will use Sword Form, Staff Form and Unarmed Form.

Tank Shiva in the center of the room, facing her away from the party. Shiva has 3 different weapons that she can switch between. Each weapon has a different attack and she uses them in a random order.

Players need to assign a tank that tanks her in Sword Form and another tank that tanks her in her Staff Form.

Sword Tank should allow Shiva to hit the party with Icebrand but avoid Glacier Bash.

===Phase 2===
At the start, Shiva spawns 4 Ice Soldiers and go into Sword Form. The staff tank should gather all the adds in the center of the room so they can be AoE'd down.

After 60 seconds, Shiva will go untargetable, freeze the party, then reappear with '''Diamond Dust''', dealing 2-4k damage to all players. If any adds are still alive before Shiva disappears, the party will be wiped instead.

===Phase 3: 70% - 0%===
From here on, ouching the edge of the arena will freeze the player into a boulder. Frozen player can be freed after party members kill the boulder.

Shiva gains Bow Form in addition to Sword Form, Staff Form and Unarmed Form.

She also gains an ability named Permafrost. It coats the ground in ice and places a DoT on everyone for a short time. It also applies the Thin Ice debuff to all players. If a player attempts to move while she has the debuff on, they will slide uncontrollably in that direction.

*Stand still for a few seconds after every ending move, i.e. Icicle Impact, Avalanche, etc. - til Thin Ice wears off or you will slide into walls and get frozen.

Shiva gains 2 new Icicle Impact patterns.

'''Rotation: Icicle (Staff) -> Staff Form -> Icicle (Bow) -> Bow Form -> Icicle (Sword/Staff) -> Icicle (Bow) -> (Repeat from Sword/Staff)'''

At 11 Damage Up stacks, Shiva will go untargetable, freeze the party, and cast '''Diamond Dust''', wiping the party.
