It is said within Uznair, beyond its meandering canals and hidden passageways, there exist altars used in worship of the gods. Should some hapless soul find their way to these sacred altars, and perform the rites of eld, will they be met with fortune? Or folly?

Patch 4.4 Special Site

The Shifting Altars of Uznair, released in patch 4.4 of Stormblood, is a special instance for Treasure Hunt similar to the Aquapolis and the Lost Canals of Uznair. It can be accessed after finding and opening treasure coffers obtained from Timeworn gazelleskin map icon1.png  Timeworn Gazelleskin Map, which can lead to either the Lost Canals of Uznair or the Shifting Altars of Uznair. The destination is chosen at random.

  • Level Requirement : Disciple of War or Magic level 70
  • Item Level Requirement: None
  • Item Level Sync: 370
  • Party Size: 8
  • Time Limit: 60 minutes

Progression

Upon entering the instance, players will find an arcane sphere which must be used to perform an invocation. Doing so will trigger a roulette wheel, summoning forth one of several creatures.

A treasure chest will appear upon defeating the enemies summoned by the invocation. Only the player who opened the teleportation portal can access it. After claiming the contents of the treasure chest, the arcane sphere can be used again, for a total of five invocations.
