Voidwatch is a confrontation-style battle system which takes place in various fields and dungeons across Vana'diel of the past and present.

As of 04/20/2018, here on HomepointXI server,

• Voidwatch Key Items (KIs) no longer delete upon completion of killing all Voidwatch NMs of a tier.
• A custom command has been put into place to replace the missing Voidwatch keyitems depending on what you're currently holding.
  • Type !voidwatch and you will receive the lower-level missing keyitems of a tier that you currently possess a higher-level keyitem.
    • Example: If you have Crimson Stratum Abyssite III, you will receive Crimson Stratum Abyssite I and Crimson Stratum Abyssite II, but you won't receive Crimson Stratum Abyssite IV)
• Voidstones may be acquired retroactively depending on when you last interacted with a Voidwatch Officer NPC. For example, if you miss a day and it’s been 40 hours since you last received a voidstone, you will receive 2 voidstones when interacting with a Voidwatch Officer NPC.

Hopefully all this will make things a little more fun!

How to participate

Planar rifts are gateways from an alternate reality through which Voidwatch monsters are manifest.

Players must initially speak to a Voidwatch Officer in order to obtain a Stratum Abyssite key item. Each key item needs to be acquired only once.

• Crimson stratum abyssite from Voidwatch Officer (Southern San d'Oria - (F-9))
• Indigo stratum abyssite from Voidwatch Officer (Bastok Markets at (D-11))
• Jade stratum abyssite from Voidwatch Officer (Windurst Waters - (G-5))
• White stratum abyssite is acquired through the quest Drafted by the Duchy which can only be started after completing each of the three city paths.
• Ashen stratum abyssite from Kieran (Norg - (I-8))
• Hyacinth stratum abyssite from Owain (Tavnazian Safehold - (H-6))
• Amber stratum abyssite from Camille (Wajaom Woodlands - (M-7))

The Voidwatch Officer NPC will also provide the player with voidstones on request. Voidstones regenerate over time, one every 20 hours. As stated above, voidstones can also be acquired retroactively (if you miss a day and it’s been 40 hours since you last received a voidstone, you will receive 2 voidstones when interacting with the Voidwatch Officer NPC). You can hold an immense amount of Voidstones, and your current amount can be found in the Main Menu under Status → Currencies.

Battle Procedure

Once you are at the proper zone, you can begin the battle by examining the specified Planar Rift. Please see the below Voidwatch Ops tables for the map location of the Planar Rift used to spawn the VWNM you are after
Notice: While Voidwatch Ops may be initiated at any of the three Planar Rifts in a zone, the VWNM will only spawn at one of them!! Check the below Voidwatch Ops tables for the location that the VWNM will spawn at!!!

Bayld and Rusted Coins

The game currency known as Bayld is earned, here on HomepointXI, thru completion of Voidwatch battles, starting from Chapter I (Three City Paths), Tier II and higher. The higher the Chapter/Tier, the more Bayld is earned. The amount of Bayld you have can be found in the Main Menu under Status → Currencies 2. It is the first item in the list.

The game currency known as Rusted Coins is earned, here on HomepointXI, thru completion of select Voidwatch battles, starting from Chapter II (Jeuno), Tier II and higher. Rusted Coins are stored in your inventories so they won't be listed in the Currencies 2 menu like Bayld is.

Both Bayld and Rusted Coins are used for the purchasing of Alluvion Skirmish Armor. Usage of Bayld is also involved in the upgrade step for taking your Reforged Artifact / Relic / Empyrean armors to their iLvl 119 version.

• Both of these interactions are done with Renik in Upper Jeuno at (H-9).

Stratum Abyssite Growth

The below is the guide to progressing thru the Voidwatch Stratum Abyssites here on HomepointXI. The words that are bolded and italicized are the quests that will appear in your Quest Log in the Crystal War section.

You must defeat all of the monsters in a tier for your stratum abyssite to advance to the next tier. All Tiers in a Chapter must be completed before a subsequent Chapter can be started, EXCEPT as follows:

• You may begin both the Jeuno I path and the Zilart path of Chapter II at the same time.
• You must complete Tier III of the Jeuno I Path (Voidwatch Chapter II) before you can progress to Tier IV (Voidwatch Chapter III, the Jeuno II path).
• You must complete both the Jeuno II path AND the Zilart path before you can then progress to the Tavnazia chapter (Chapter IV).

Three City Paths

After engaging in and defeating all of the monsters within a tier of the Three City Paths, your stratum abyssite will automatically advance to the next tier. For example, a player who possesses Crimson Stratum Abyssite and then is present for the defeat of both Sarimanok and Cottus will automatically upgrade to Crimson Stratum Abyssite II, then to Crimson Stratum Abyssite III upon defeating Krabimanjaro, and finally Crimson Stratum Abyssite IV upon defeating Belphoebe and Kholomodumo.
