{{quotation|Dawntrail Special Site|Even the most dauntless of sailors would sooner abandon ship than steer into Shades' Triangle. Be not fooled by the lush and fertile island you spy on the horizon─men and vessels alike have been lost to its allure, never to be seen again. Yes, the wisest choice is to dismiss it as mere illusion. But of course, there are inevitably those who cannot resist the call of adventure.}}
'''Occult Crescent''' is a [[Field Operations]] series that was released starting in [[patch 7.25]] (May 27, 2025) of the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. It takes place on an island within the Shades' Triangle near [[Tural]] and is designed to combine the most positively-received elements from both [[The Forbidden Land, Eureka]] and [[Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]] (Bozja).

Players are able to equip and level up secondary jobs known as '''[[Phantom Jobs]]''', giving access to additional actions and traits within the field operation. These jobs are directly based on Final Fantasy V jobs, including some that are existing FFXIV jobs (e.g. monk, bard) and others that were not suitable for implementation as a full job in FFXIV (e.g. chemist). However, this does not necessarily rule out the possibility that some jobs may receive a full implementation in the future.<ref>http://blog.livedoor.jp/umadori0726/archives/62106335.html</ref>

Battle encounters in this field operation are inspired by those found in Bozja, including successive encounters in the open field with a small group of allies, and critical engagement-like boss encounters (called Critical Encounters) taking place within enclosed arenas. There is also a high-end raid, {{questlink|oc|Forked Tower: Blood}} that allows up to 48 players to participate.

Similar to previous field operations, the [[Relic Weapon]] series for ''Dawntrail'' ('''[[Phantom Weapons]]''') are tied to Occult Crescent activities, although players can also progress their weapons via existing activities outside of the field operation.

==Unlock==
{{See also|Occult Crescent Quests}}
To begin unlocking Occult Crescent, players must complete the quest {{questlink|feature|One Last Hurrah}} which requires completion of {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and be level 100 Disciple of War or Magic. The first zone is unlocked by completing {{questlink|feature|Unfamiliar Territory}} in this quest chain.

==Gear==
Occult Crescent zones have an [[item level]] sync of 700, meaning that IL 700 [[Neo Kingdom Weapons]], [[Neo Kingdom Armor]], and [[Neo Kingdom Accessories]] melded with certain [[materia]] are tentatively the best-in-slot starting gear, although there are some exceptions. Neo Kingdom gear can be purchased from [[Ryubool Ja]] in [[Tuliyollal]] (X:13.9 Y:13.5) for {{sack of nuts}} [[Sacks of Nuts]]. Using higher item level gear will cause materia melds to be ignored due to item level sync calculations, resulting in lower damage.

Starting gear sets for each job are provided [https://xivfo.com/oc/Pre_BiS here]. It is not necessary to go out of the way to farm this gear, as the damage difference compared to syncing down higher item level gear is fairly marginal.

By obtaining specific items within Occult Crescent, players may obtain and upgrade [[Phantom Armor]], providing additional main stat within these zones and [[Special Attribute]], increasing their damage dealt by [[Phantom Job]] actions. As the item level (745) of this armor is higher than the IL sync, materia melds will be ignored.

|}

==Zones==
As of patch 7.25, Occult Crescent consists of one field zone and one 48-player high-end raid within the zone.

{| {{STDT|sortable pve align-left}}
!Duty
!Knowledge Level
!Enemy Knowledge Level(s)

|-
|'''{{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent: South Horn}}''' || 1 || 1—28 || 72 || 180 min
|-
|'''{{questlink|oc|Forked Tower}}''' (Within South Horn) || 20 || N/A || 48 || 30 min + extensions
|}

==Knowledge Level==
Similar to [[Elemental Bonus|Elemental Level]] in {{questlink|field-ops|The Forbidden Land, Eureka}}, players have a separate leveling system in Occult Crescent, which is represented by '''Knowledge Level'''. The difference between the player's and enemy's Knowledge Level will greatly affect damage dealt and received by regular (chainable) enemies.

Upon reaching knowledge level 5, players will lose knowledge points if they are incapacitated and return to camp without being resurrected. Losing too much experience will result in a demotion in knowledge level.

The amount of knowledge earned from FATEs and Critical Encounters will [[Occult Crescent FATEs#Knowledge Table|scale based on the player's current Knowledge Level]].

|}

==Phantom Jobs==
{{main|Phantom Job}}
Players may equip secondary jobs known as '''Phantom Jobs''' to gain access to additional actions and traits. Any phantom job may be equipped by any regular job, although some phantom jobs synergize better with certain roles. This system replaces the [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]] in previous field operation series.

Phantom jobs can also be leveled up separately to unlock additional actions and traits. Up to 5 phantom job actions can be assigned on the Duty Action bar, although a scroll button allows players to cycle through the currently active phantom job action to prevent button bloat.

There are initially 13 phantom jobs available, including the default {{phantom job|freelancer|name=y}}. After freelancer, the first 3 jobs are unlocked through a starting quest, while the others are unlocked through exploring and progressing through Occult Crescent.

Each time the player masters a phantom job (i.e. reaches their level cap), they will gain a stack of [[File:Phantom mastery icon.png|24px|link=]] '''Phantom Mastery''', permanently increasing their damage dealt and healing potency within Occult Crescent zones, regardless of which phantom job they have equipped.

==Battles==
Higher-level enemies relative to the player's knowledge level are harder to defeat. However, defeating high-level enemies with a double crescent symbol will initiate an EXP chain, giving enhanced EXP and rewards.

===Parties===
If all members of a party are within 3 knowledge levels of each others, it will be classified as a "Balanced Party" and be eligible for EXP chains. If any players are more than 4 levels apart, the high-leveled players may sync down their knowledge level to become a balanced party.

===FATEs===
{{main|Occult Crescent FATEs}}
FATEs will spawn at certain areas on the map and can be challenged by any number of players. Players may join a FATE that has already started.

'''FATEs and Critical Encounters are agnostic to knowledge level.''' Players at any knowledge level may participate in them, and it is not necessary to have a Balanced Party to receive rewards. Players should avoid syncing down their knowledge level when participating in a FATE or traveling to a FATE/Critical Encounter as this will make them more vulnerable to high-level enemies that are nearby the FATE area or en route to the FATE/Critical Encounter.

===Critical Encounters===
'''Critical Encounters (CEs)''' are large-scale boss encounters, similar to Notorious Monsters in Eureka and Critical Engagements in Bozja. There is no limit to the number of players that may participate in one (aside from the 72-player instance limit).

When a Critical Encounter is about to spawn, it will be displayed on the map and a blue AoE telegraph will appear on its spawn location. Players who wish to participate must travel to inside the AoE before the timer expires, after which the arena will enclose and the encounter will begin. This system is designed to alleviate "early pulls" in Eureka but will still require players to travel to the spawn location instead of queuing from anywhere as in Bozjan Critical Engagements.

==Treasure Coffers==
Personal treasure coffers spawn in Occult Crescent field zones, which can be claimed individually. 

Wooden coffers contain one item while silver coffers contain three.
Golden coffers appear when a Fortune Carrot is used near a chewed carrot on the ground, yielding random items and 200,000 gil.

{{see also|Clan Hunt|Nutsy Clan Hunt|Elite Marks}}
The Hunt is an initiative established by the Eorzean Alliance, offering a bounty to adventurers who aid in quelling the threat posed by notably dangerous monsters that prowl the lands of [[Eorzea]]. Players can kill [[Elite Marks]] all over Eorzea and receive [[#Rewards|various rewards]] or participate in [[#Mark Bills|Mark Bills]] and kill specific regular monsters. The Hunt was first introduced in patch 2.3.

==Mark Bills==
Players will find a [[Hunt Board]] at each [[Grand Company]] headquarters, upon which [[Mark Bills]] have been posted listing bounties for various [[enemies]]. There are two types of mark bills: [[Regular Mark Bills]], which are posted once per day, and [[Elite Mark Bills]], which are posted once per week. These bills list the name and number of targets to be hunted, their location, and the reward being offered for their defeat.

*The targets listed on regular and elite marked bills will differ from player to player.

Elite Mark Bills task the players to kill a [[Elite Marks|Rank B Elite Mark]]. By killing the B mark, a player is awarded 5,000 [[gil]] and 100 [[Allied Seals]].

===Regular and Elite Marks===
While Regular Marks denote enemies commonly found in the wilds of Eorzea, [[Elite Marks]] denote powerful enemies that only appear under certain conditions. They are ranked according to the risk they pose: B Rank (lowest risk), A Rank, and S Rank (highest risk).

New marks are posted on the Hunt board at the following times:
* Regular Mark Bills: Daily at 11:00 AM (EST) or 8:00 AM (PDT)
* B Rank Elite Mark Bills: Weekly on Tuesday at 4:00 AM (EST) or 1:00 AM (PDT)
* A Rank and S Rank: None (Kill on sight)

===Clan Marks===
Introduced in Heavensward, [[Clan Hunt#Locations of Level 1 - 3 Clan Marks|Clan Mark Bills]] are available from the Clan Hunt Board in [[Foundation]] (x12,y11). Clan Mark Bills are divided into 3 types: level 1, 2 and 3. These Marks refresh daily and require the players to hunt down [[enemies]] across the Heavensward area.
