{{Lead icon|PVP_menu_icon.png}}'''PvP''', or '''Player-versus-Player''', allows players to battle each other in various contests of skill and strength. Currently there are 3 PvP modes, [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. [[Free Trial]] players do not have access to PvP. Players must reach level 30 and complete their [[Grand Company]]-specific version of {{i|A Pup No Longer}} to unlock the [[Wolves' Den Pier]], the PvP hub area, which will allow them to unlock other PvP modes.

Crystalline Conflict is a 5v5 arena where players push a payload from the center to the opposing base, while Frontline is a large battlefield consisting of 3 opposing alliances battling under the banners of Grand Companies, and Rival Wings is a MOBA-inspired 24v24 mode. In PvP, players have [[PvP Actions|special Actions]] and [[PvP Traits|Traits]] and can obtain [[PvP Gear|unique gear]] with the PvP [[currency]], {{i|Wolf Mark|Wolf Marks}}. Beginning in [[patch 6.1]], [[Series Malmstones]] were added as an additional reward system. New items can be purchased with the associated currency, {{i|Trophy Crystal|Trophy Crystals}}.

Each [[job]]'s PvP action toolkit is entirely separate from their regular PvE actions and therefore requires players to reassign their hotbars for PvP. Most combos are consolidated into one button. [[Job Gauge]]s are absent in PvP. [[Limit Break]] is also a personal resource instead of shared among the party, and each job has a unique Limit Break action. Overall, jobs are generally highly dissimilar in playstyle compared to their PvE counterparts. Several existing PvP actions also reference previous PvE actions and effects that have been removed from the game.

Areas where PvP actions are allowed to be used are indicated by the "crossed daggers" icon to the far right of the experience bar, as shown below:

[[File:Pvp area icon indicator.PNG|center]]

As of the overhaul in [[Patch 4.0]] and unlike PvE, all players have fixed stats based on their job during PvP. There is no character progression system to increase stats or unlock new actions. Because of this, potency calculations in PvP action tooltips are different compared to PvE, with 1 potency corresponding to 1 HP of damage dealt. Furthermore, with the removal of [[Morale]] during the overhaul, equipment has no effect on PvP; a level 30 character can fight just as well as a level 100 character.

==PvP Profile==
Players are able to see their PvP Profile while in the [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (or by opening the PvP profile menu) to see things such as their [[PvP Rank]], [[Series Malmstones]], standardized job actions, as well as their ratio of wins and losses in [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. Players can also set PvP actions to their hotbars from this menu. Finally, players can also assign [[Quick Chat]] options to their hotbar for Crystalline Conflict.

==[[Wolves' Den Pier]]==
Wolves' Den Pier is the hub area where players can unlock the various PvP duties, as well as engage in [[Dueling]], 1v1 battles. Players can also practice their Job's [[PvP Actions]] on the [[Striking Dummy|Training Dummies]] or exchange their [[Wolf Marks]], [[Trophy Crystal]]s, and other PvP-related items for gear, mounts and minions.

===Dueling===
Introduced with (but not actually unlocked by) {{i|It's Time to Duel}}, [[Dueling]] allows 1v1 combat in the Dueling Circle at Wolves' Den Pier.

==Crystalline Conflict==
[[Crystalline Conflict]] is a PvP duty that pit teams Astra and Umbra against one another in tactical confrontations. Each team will have up to five players, with no role restrictions, for a total of ten match participants. Teams are challenged to maintain control over a tactical crystal, which must be transported to a designated location amid the heat of battle.

==Walkthrough==
{{#spoiler:show=Solution spoiler (Click to Show)|hide=Click to Hide Spoiler|Players will need to go to [[Old Gridania]] (x8.2,y10.6) and use [[Lookout|/lookout]] [[emotes|emote]]. The vista is located in between 2 giant tree trunks next to the [[Conjurers' Guild]] [[Aetheryte|Aethernet Shard]].}}

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Eral]].
*Deliver the [[Age-worn Log|age-worn log]] to [[Millith Ironheart]].
*Seek out a place where “afore the Fane...” and [[Lookout|/lookout]] upon your surroundings.
*Report to [[Millith Ironheart]].

==Journal==
* Naoh Gamduhla wishes the patrons of the Carline Canopy would keep a closer eye on their belongings.

* Naoh Gamduhla seeks to return a journal lost at the Carline Canopy to its rightful owner, and suspects that Eral─a regular given to wooing winsome lasses─may have some knowledge as to the girl's whereabouts. Spare Naoh a measure of suffering by questioning the boorish lout in her stead.

* Amidst a goodly share of empty bluster and braggadocio, Eral offers you just enough information to track down the log's owner, a young lass whose name he has already forgotten. Head to Apkallu Falls and seek out a girl wearing a straw hat.

* You deliver the journal to Millith Ironheart, who is delighted to be reunited with her sightseeing log─a personal record of the vistas of surpassing beauty that she has seen and heard of in her travels across Eorzea. Believing her words woefully ill-equipped to convey such wonders, she encourages you to visit a local spot that has struck her fancy. Seek out a place where “afore the Fane, beneath the two that are as one, Her divine cup runneth over with light aetherial,” and /lookout upon the scene with your own eyes.

* You have found the place described to you by Millith. Having taken in its beauty, return to Apkallu Falls and share with her your thoughts.

* Heartened to have found a kindred spirit, Millith furnishes you with a sightseeing log of your own, that you might see the realm as only a true aesthete can. Travel far and wide to look upon the vistas described in the log's pages, then return to Millith when your journey is complete.
** ※Paying heed to weather conditions and time of day, seek out the locations described. Perform the designated emote while taking in the sights, and the corresponding entry will be marked as complete.

==Dialogue==
Naoh Gamduhla: <sigh> As if I'm not busy enough without playing lost and found... Oh─do forgive me, friend. Once again, one of our customers has departed without her belongings, and I'm at a loss for what to do about it.
Naoh Gamduhla: While I understand that adventurers have many cares on their minds, 'twould make my life much easier if they could keep their personal effects in order. But you did not come here to lend an ear to my grumblings.
Naoh Gamduhla: This is the book in question. The face of its owner was unfamiliar to me, but Eral over there seemed quite smitten with her─as with every pretty lass he lays his eyes on, but that's neither here nor there. Might I trouble you to inquire as to the girl's whereabouts? I've found the man to be less than forthcoming ever since I spurned his advances.

Eral: Ah, the sweet little thing with the journal? 'Course I remember her, and remember her well. Had a smile to warm the heart, and a laugh─a lilt, one might say?─to tickle the depths of the soul. And she was most eager to hear tales of my many travels, which speaks to a keen and sensitive mind.
Eral: Jilly, I believe was her name? No, that's not right─Jilly was the redhead from last week. Ah, damned if I can remember! You must understand, no small number of comely lasses seek out my company. I daresay keeping all the names and faces straight is an adventure in itself.
Eral: Anyroad, the girl spoke of paying a visit to Apkallu Falls before traveling on. Like as not you'll find her there now, shedding a tear or two at our parting. Do pass along my regards if you see her─she should be readily recognizable in that charming straw hat of hers.
Eral: If you're looking for the young lass who left behind that log, she spoke of paying a visit to Apkallu Falls before she journeys on. Looked terribly charming in that straw hat of hers. A bit boyish, perhaps, but they can't all be perfect, now can they?

Millith Ironheart: Pardon, I don't believe we've met. Hm? You've something of mine, you say?
Millith Ironheart: My journal! Thank the Twelve! In my haste to escape the clutches of that insufferable mutton-monger, it slipped my mind entirely. Might I be so bold as to ask your name?
Millith Ironheart: You have my gratitude, [Forename]. It may not look like much, but I count this humble diary among my most prized possessions.
Millith Ironheart: Its pages brim with tales of the most heart-stirring sights to be seen in our realm, as told to me by the sensitive souls I have met in my travels across Eorzea─tales that have struck me with a most incurable case of wanderlust.
Millith Ironheart: As an adventurer, you too have seen the realm, I am sure. But I would ask you, [Forename]: have you truly ''seen'' her? Borne witness to Eorzea in her myriads of splendor?
Millith Ironheart: Have you stood on the palm-fringed beaches of Costa del Sol just as the sun peeks out over the horizon, its rays kissing the sands beneath your feet? Have you lost yourself in the night sky of the Sagolii, adrift amidst a boundless sea of stars? Ah, but why do I even try to convey with words that which must be seen to be appreciated!
Millith Ironheart: To our fortune, whithersoever we wander, Eorzea's beauty is but a stone's throw away. If I may quote from my journal...yes, this is the one. “Afore the Fane, beneath the two that are as one, Her divine cup runneth over with light aetherial. Such were the conjurer's words, and I would see as she saw.”
Millith Ironheart: I saw for myself before coming here, and I can assure you the conjurer spoke true. Indulge me─go there and look out upon the beauty before you. I would hear your thoughts.

System: You have looked upon one of Eorzea's stirring vistas, as identified by the explorer Millith Ironheart. Return to Apkallu Falls and report your sighting.

Millith Ironheart: Welcome back, [Forename]. I trust you were as moved by the sight as I was? The great stone that adorns the entrance to Stillglade Fane is none other than the Skyserpent's Egg, cast down from the heavens by Nophica the Matron so long ago.
Millith Ironheart: And those mammoth tree trunks─remnants, no doubt, of a primeval forest. Whence did they come? Why do the two great arbors grow as one? This, I do not know─but what I do know is that the realm is replete with such beauty, if only we know where to look.
Millith Ironheart: This is what compels me to wander─not the promise of power, glory, or riches, but a burning desire to bear witness to all the wonders around us, as wrought by gods and men alike.
Millith Ironheart: Though we have just met, the twinkle in your eye tells me that we share certain aesthetic sensitivities. It would be my pleasure to gift you with a sightseeing log of your own.
Millith Ironheart: In its pages, you will find my record of the most stirring sights in the realm, both those I have seen with my own eyes, and those I have─thus far, at least─only heard of in my travels.
Millith Ironheart: No doubt your adventures keep you occupied, but is this not all the more reason to take in the sights as you travel, that both body and mind might enjoy a moment's respite from time to time? And who can say? Perhaps you will discover glorious new vistas that have eluded even me.
Millith Ironheart: With that, I wish you safe travels, [Forename]. When you have seen all there is to see, pray return to me. I would like nothing more than to share impressions with a fellow sensitive soul.

System: You now have access to the sightseeing log, a compendium of the most beautiful sights to be seen in Eorzea, as compiled by the explorer Millith Ironheart. To open it, select [Logs] from the main menu, followed by [Sightseeing Log].
System: From the snippets of information contained within, identify and seek out the locations described. Note that certain sights may only be properly appreciated at a given time of day, or under ideal weather conditions.
System: Perform the designated emote while taking in the sights, and the entry for the corresponding vista will be marked off. With your sightseeing log in hand, go forth and see Eorzea as few have ever seen her before!

Shizuko: /* Crystalline Conflict */

{{TOCRIGHT}}
{{see also|PvP Actions|PvP Gear|PvP rank}}
{{questlink|pvp|PvP|large}}, or '''Player-versus-Player''', allows players to battle each other in various contests of skill and strength. Currently there are 3 PvP modes, [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. [[Free Trial]] players do not have access to PvP. Players must reach level 30 and complete their [[Grand Company]]-specific version of {{questlink|feature|A Pup No Longer}} to unlock the [[Wolves' Den Pier]], the PvP hub area, which will allow them to unlock other PvP modes.

Crystalline Conflict is a 5v5 arena where players push a payload from the center to the opposing base, while Frontline is a large battlefield consisting of 3 opposing alliances battling under the banners of Grand Companies, and Rival Wings is a MOBA-inspired 24v24 mode. In PvP, players have [[PvP Actions|special Actions]] and [[PvP Traits|Traits]] and can obtain [[PvP Gear|unique gear]] with the PvP [[currency]], {{Wolf mark}} [[Wolf Mark]]s. Beginning in [[patch 6.1]], [[Series Malmstones]] were added as an additional reward system. New items can be purchased with the associated currency, {{trophy crystal}} [[Trophy Crystal]]s.

Each [[job]]'s PvP action toolkit is entirely separate from their regular PvE actions and therefore requires players to reassign their hotbars for PvP. Most combos are consolidated into one button. [[Job Gauge]]s are absent in PvP. [[Limit Break]] is also a personal resource instead of shared among the party, and each job has a unique Limit Break action. Overall, jobs are generally highly dissimilar in playstyle compared to their PvE counterparts. Several existing PvP actions also reference previous PvE actions and effects that have been removed from the game.

Unlike PvE, each character has fixed stats based on their job, and there is no character progression system to increase stats or unlock new actions. Because of this, potency calculations in PvP action tooltips are different compared to PvE, with 1 potency corresponding to 1 HP.

==[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/pvpguide/ Official PvP Guide on the Lodestone]==

==PvP Profile==
Players are able to see their PvP Profile while in the [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (or by opening the PvP profile menu) to see things such as their [[PvP Rank]], [[Series Malmstones]], standardized job actions, as well as their ratio of wins and losses in [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. Players can also set PvP actions to their hotbars from this menu. Finally, players can also assign [[Quick Chat]] options to their hotbar for Crystalline Conflict.

[[File:PvP_Profile_6.0.png|400px|The PvP profile displaying various useful pieces of information to players.]]

==[[Wolves' Den Pier]]==
Wolves' Den Pier is the hub area where players can unlock the various PvP duties, as well as engage in [[Dueling]], 1v1 battles. Players can also practice their Job's [[PvP Actions]] on the [[Striking Dummy|Training Dummies]] or exchange their [[Wolf Marks]], [[Trophy Crystal]]s, and other PvP-related items for gear, mounts and minions.

===Dueling===
Unlocked via {{questlink|side|It's Time to Duel}}, [[Dueling]] allows 1v1 combat in the Dueling Circle at Wolves' Den Pier.

==Crystalline Conflict==
[[Crystalline Conflict]] is a PvP duty that pit teams Astra and Umbra against one another in tactical confrontations. Each team will have up to five players, with no role restrictions, for a total of ten match participants. Teams are challenged to maintain control over a tactical crystal, which must be transported to a designated location amid the heat of battle.

===Unlock===
Crystalline Conflict is unlocked via {{questlink|feature|The Crystal (Line's) Call}} from [[Gungi Zelungi]] in the [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (X:4.9 Y:6.4).

*{{questlink|pvp|The Palaistra}}
*{{questlink|pvp|The Volcanic Heart}}
*{{questlink|pvp|Cloud Nine (PvP)}}
*{{questlink|pvp|The Clockwork Castletown}}

==[[Frontline]]==
Frontline is a large battleground featuring 3 opposing forces of the [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]]. Up to 72 players, 24 players on each team, will be able to battle for supremacy. It was first introduced in [[patch 2.3]] with a single map: [[The Borderland Ruins (Secure)]].

===Unlock===

===Maps===
*{{questlink|pvp|The Borderland Ruins (Secure)}} is a PvP mode introduced in [[patch 2.3]], as part of the [[A Realm Reborn]] expansion.
**{{questlink|pvp|The Borderland Ruins (Slaughter)}} was a deathmatch version introduced in [[patch 2.5]] and retired in [[patch 4.0]].

*{{questlink|pvp|Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam)}} is a PvP mode introduced in [[patch 5.15]], as part of the [[Shadowbringers]] expansion.

The naming scheme for '''Frontline''' is technically ''Map Name'' (''Mode Name''), though with retirement of the (Slaughter) mode on [[Carteneau Flats|The Borderland Ruins]] there is functionally no distinction anymore. Map/Mode combos are commonly referred to by either separate part by the player base.

==[[Rival Wings]]==
Rival Wings is 24 v 24 mode where players use [[Machina]] to destroy [[Magitek]] barriers and destroy the opposing party's crystal. It is conceptually similar to a MOBA. It was first introduced in [[patch 4.15]] with a single map: [[Astragalos]].

===Unlock===
Rival Wings is unlocked via {{questlink|feature|Earning Your Wings}} from [[Softknox]] in [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (X:5.7 Y:5.5).

The original light party versus mode was located at the [[Wolves' Den Pier]], and was simply referred to as '''[[The Wolves' Den]]'''. This mode was introduced in [[patch 2.1]], renamed '''The Fold''' in [[patch 3.21]] with the addition of [[The Feast]], and finally retired in [[Patch 4.0]].

Shizuko: /* The Feast */

{{TOCRIGHT}}
{{see also|PvP Actions|PvP Gear|PvP rank}}
{{questlink|pvp|PvP|large}}, or '''Player-versus-Player''', allows players to battle each other in various contests of skill and strength. Currently there are 3 PvP modes, [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. [[Free Trial]] players do not have access to PvP. Players must reach level 30 and complete their [[Grand Company]]-specific version of {{questlink|feature|A Pup No Longer}} to unlock the [[Wolves' Den Pier]], the PvP hub area, which will allow them to unlock other PvP modes.

Crystalline Conflict is a 5v5 arena where players push a payload from the center to the opposing base, while Frontline is a large battlefield consisting of 3 opposing alliances battling under the banners of Grand Companies, and Rival Wings is a MOBA-inspired 24v24 mode. In PvP, players have [[PvP Actions|special Actions]] and [[PvP Traits|Traits]] and can obtain [[PvP Gear|unique gear]] with the PvP [[currency]], {{Wolf mark}} [[Wolf Mark]]s. Beginning in [[patch 6.1]], [[Series Malmstones]] were added as an additional reward system. New items can be purchased with the associated currency, {{trophy crystal}} [[Trophy Crystal]]s.

Each [[job]]'s PvP action toolkit is entirely separate from their regular PvE actions and therefore requires players to reassign their hotbars for PvP. Most combos are consolidated into one button. [[Job Gauge]]s are absent in PvP. [[Limit Break]] is also a personal resource instead of shared among the party, and each job has a unique Limit Break action. Overall, jobs are generally highly dissimilar in playstyle compared to their PvE counterparts. Several existing PvP actions also reference previous PvE actions and effects that have been removed from the game.

Unlike PvE, each character has fixed stats based on their job, and there is no character progression system to increase stats or unlock new actions. Because of this, potency calculations in PvP action tooltips are different compared to PvE, with 1 potency corresponding to 1 HP.

==[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/pvpguide/ Official PvP Guide on the Lodestone]==

==PvP Profile==
Players are able to see their PvP Profile while in the [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (or by opening the PvP profile menu) to see things such as their [[PvP Rank]], [[Series Malmstones]], standardized job actions, as well as their ratio of wins and losses in [[Crystalline Conflict]], [[Frontline]], and [[Rival Wings]]. Players can also set PvP actions to their hotbars from this menu. Finally, players can also assign [[Quick Chat]] options to their hotbar for Crystalline Conflict.

[[File:PvP_Profile_6.0.png|400px|The PvP profile displaying various useful pieces of information to players.]]

==[[Wolves' Den Pier]]==
Wolves' Den Pier is the hub area where players can unlock the various PvP duties, as well as engage in [[Dueling]], 1v1 battles. Players can also practice their Job's [[PvP Actions]] on the [[Striking Dummy|Training Dummies]] or exchange their [[Wolf Marks]], [[Trophy Crystal]]s, and other PvP-related items for gear, mounts and minions.

===Dueling===
Unlocked via {{questlink|side|It's Time to Duel}}, [[Dueling]] allows 1v1 combat in the Dueling Circle at Wolves' Den Pier.

==[[Crystalline Conflict]]==
[[Crystalline Conflict]] PvP duties pit teams Astra and Umbra against one another in tactical confrontations. Each team will have up to five players, with no role restrictions, for a total of ten match participants. Teams are challenged to maintain control over a tactical crystal, which must be transported to a designated location amid the heat of battle.

There are four arenas currently available for Crystalline Conflict matches─[[the Palaistra]], [[the Volcanic Heart]], [[Cloud Nine (PvP)|Cloud Nine]], and [[the Clockwork Castletown]].

===Unlock===
Crystalline Conflict is unlocked via {{questlink|feature|The Crystal (Line's) Call}} from [[Gungi Zelungi]] in the [[Wolves' Den Pier]] (X:4.9 Y:6.4).

==[[Frontline]]==
Frontline is a large battleground featuring 3 opposing forces of the [[Grand Company|Grand Companies]]. Up to 72 players, 24 players on each team, will be able to battle for supremacy. It was first introduced in [[patch 2.3]] with a single map: [[The Borderland Ruins (Secure)]].

===Unlock===

The naming scheme for '''Frontline''' is technically ''Map Name'' (''Mode Name''), though with retirement of the (Slaughter) mode on [[Carteneau Flats|The Borderland Ruins]] there is functionally no distinction anymore. Map/Mode combos are commonly referred to by either separate part by the player base.

==[[Rival Wings]]==
Rival Wings is 24 v 24 mode where players use [[Machina]] to destroy [[Magitek]] barriers and destroy the opposing party's crystal. It is conceptually similar to a MOBA. It was first introduced in [[patch 4.15]] with a single map: [[Astragalos]].

==Walkthrough==
The Wayward Carbuncle will be behind a rock around (X:9.3 Y:37.1).

===Easter Egg===
The dialogue implies this could be [[Tataru]]'s errant carbuncle from {{questlink|main|An Unexpected Ambition}}.

==Steps==
*Search for the wayward Carbuncle using the guiding crystal.
*[[Soothe|/soothe]] the wayward Carbuncle.
*Deliver the wayward Carbuncle to the researcher.

==Journal==
*The Studium researcher looks in need of assistance.

{{Relic Weapons Heading}}

==Upgrading Novus to Nexus==
Players needs to speak to [[Jalzahn]] in [[North Shroud]] (x29,y19) with their Novus Weapon equipped. After completing the {{questlink|type=feature|name=Mmmmmm, Soulglazed Relics}} quest, players can speak to Jalzahn to choose the weapon to soulglaze. If you are a paladin, make sure to soulglaze both the [[Curtana Novus]] and [[Holy Shield Novus]] prior to farming "light". With the soulglazed Novus weapon equipped, player will earn "light" by completing [[dungeons]], [[trials]], [[FATEs]], [[Treasure Hunt]], [[Alexandrite|Alexandrite Maps]], [[The Wolves' Den]] and [[Frontlines]]. After gaining enough "light" and returning to Jalzahn (option "Relic Weapon Novus Enhancement"), the Novus weapon will transform into a Nexus weapon.

*You can't get "light" from [[The Hunt]], [[Guildhests]] or [[Heavensward]] dungeons and trials.
*[[Duty_Finder#Undersized_Party|Undersized Party]] will gain you light, making speedrunning low level content an alternative to long queues.

Different activities give different amounts of "light". "Light" earned will appear in the chat log after completing the activity. Light levels are Feeble Light (least "light"), Gentle Light, Blinding Light, Brilliant Light and Newborn Star (most "light").

*Each type of Light has a secret value that advances your Novus into Nexus. Players will need to reach 2000 "light" points.

*Once the weapon's aetheric activity level has reached "bursting" (2000 "light" points), speak with [[Jalzahn]] in [[North Shroud]] (x29,y19) again, and select the "Relic Weapon Novus Enhancement" option to upgrade to Nexus.
