— In-game description

The Final Verse (Quantum) is a level 100 deep dungeon introduced in patch 7.35 with Dawntrail.

It is an isolated battle against stronger versions of the floor 99 boss in Pilgrim's Traverse and is unlocked after clearing floor 100 in the deep dungeon and completing A Branch and Their Sapling. It can be accessed by speaking with Vanthau in Il Mheg (X:29.9 Y:6.0) and select "Invoke the Final Verse (Quantum)." and can be challenged by a party of 4 players only. Party Finder can be used for recruitment. Players' aetherpool levels from Pilgrim's Traverse apply in this duty; there is no item level requirement.

This duty does not interact with any existing Pilgrim's Traverse save files: pomanders and juniper incenses are unavailable. However, Pilgrim's Potions are available. The latter are recommended to use for higher difficulties of this encounter due to the severe damage-over-time attacks.

Sacramental Offerings

The quantum encounter is an experimental type of battle content that allows players to adjust the difficulty of the encounter based on the "offerings" they provide to enter the instance. There are five types of offerings, and up to a maximum of eight each can be provided. Players must provide a minimum of 15 offerings of any combination to enter the duty up to a maximum of 40 offerings (8 x 5). Offerings can be obtained by completing a quest after reaching floor 100 (rewarding 40 offerings), as random drops from the Accursed Hoard in the deep dungeon, or purchased from the Market Board.

Each type of offering will increase the boss's difficulty in a certain way.

Offering	Accursed Hoard	Market Board prices	Effect on boss
Sacramental Spirits	Sack of Silvered Light (stones 1-30)	Universalis	HP Boost (+2% per stack)
Sacramental Spices	Sack of Silvered Light (stones 1-30)	Universalis	Physical Damage Up
Sacramental Grain	Sack of Gilded Light (stones 31-70)	Universalis	Fire Damage Up
Sacramental Light	Sack of Gilded Light (stones 31-70)	Universalis	Dark Damage Up
Sacramental Lilies	Sack of Platinum Light (stones 71-100)	Universalis	Light Damage Up

In addition to increased HP and damage, the boss will also use more difficult mechanics based on the total number of offerings used, with breakpoints every 5 total offerings.

Only the party leader can select offerings, and other party members are not required to possess them.

Offerings will not be consumed until the party clears the encounter and opens the treasure coffer afterwards. Thus, there is no significant cost for wiping, and players are free to experiment with the offering combinations until they find a difficulty that is suitable for them.

At 40 offerings, the encounter has a comparable mechanical difficulty as fourth-floor savage raids / ultimate raids but is a shorter encounter (~10 minutes). Clearing the battle with 40 offerings will reward an exclusive achievement and title.

Party Composition Bonus

Similar to Criterion Dungeons, party members will gain a bonus to damage dealt according to the composition of their party. The bonus increases with the number of jobs in your party that rely on actions that affect the entire party. This bonus system is intended to compensate for the proportional decrease in utility of such actions as party size decreases.

The effectiveness of the damage bonus will differ between roles.
This bonus will only be applied to jobs and has no effect on classes.

Loot

Upon victory, a treasure coffer containing Sacks of First Light will appear. Only the player who selected the offerings required to enter the duty can open this coffer. Once they do, their selected sacramental offerings will be expended.

Rewards are proportionate to the number of offerings used, and the player who selected the offerings will receive more rewards than other players. Additionally, the appearance of the treasure coffer will change depending on the number of offerings selected:

Offerings	Sacks (to party leader)	Sacks (to others)
15-19	4	1
20-24	6	2
25-29	8	3
30-34	10	4
35-39	12	5
40	14	6

Trivia

While item level is irrelevant in this duty, players will inherit the auto-attack delay of their currently equipped weapon. Paladins can take particular advantage of this by equipping Gaze of the Vortex, which has a shorter delay than other swords, and thus gain more auto-attacks and uses of Holy Sheltron / Intervention during the encounter.
