Category:Voidwatch

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

Requirements

In order to participate in Voidwatch, you must satisfy the following conditions:

• Be level 75 or higher.
• Possess an Adventurer's Certificate (You Must be Rank 3 or higher.)
• Join a city in the past (Bastok/San d'Oria/Windurst)
• Possess any stratum abyssite (initially obtained from a city area Voidwatch Officer).

In order to initiate a Voidwatch battle, the appropriate stratum abyssite on the initiating player must be advanced at least as high as the tier associated with the battle (see the tables below under "Voidwatch Ops"). Only the one player initiating the battle needs to fulfill this requirement. Higher tier stratum abyssites are obtained either by upgraded automatically, or by completing certain Voidwatch Quests.

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 (San d'Oria)
• Indigo stratum abyssite from Voidwatch Officer (Bastok)
• Jade stratum abyssite from Voidwatch Officer (Windurst)
• 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 in Norg
• Hyacinth stratum abyssite from Owain in Tavnazian Safehold
• Amber stratum abyssite from Camille in Wajaom Woodlands

The Voidwatch Officer NPC will also provide the player with voidstones on request. Voidstones regenerate over time, one per 20 hours. This process is not automatic, so you need to talk to an Officer each time. You can hold an infinite amount of Voidstones, and your current amount can be found in [Status] → [Currencies] in your menu.

Battle Procedure

Once you are at the proper zone, you can begin the battle by examining the specified Planar Rift. Please see the chart below for Planar rift locations.
While Voidwatch Ops may be initiated at any of the three Planar Rifts, the VWNM will only spawn at one of them!!
