Skirmish

Skirmish


(Credit for this content goes to various posters on the BG and FFXIAH forums, as well as the official SE thread)

With all the Skirmish information out there, I thought it would be useful to consolidate it into one post. (I would just update the wiki’s but I’m too computer illiterate to format it nicely and such)

Requirements to Enter Skirmish:

• Being level 95 or higher

• Being in a party of 3-6 members, in which the leader is in possession of a simulacrum

• Enter from either Rala Waterways (B-6, Augural Conveyor) or Cirdas Caverns (H-3, Augural Conveyor)

Building a Simulacrum:

• Collect three Simulacra segments (Visage, Torso, Legs)

• Turn in one of each of these segments to Oston in Eastern Adoulin (G-8) and he will assemble them into a completed Simulacrum.

Simulacra Segments

As of now, the following are confirmed ways of obtaining Simulacra Segments:

• Reward from a Colonization Reive

• Soul Pyres (shiny spots on the ground that randomly appear upon defeating regular mobs in Ulbuka)

• Reward from completing a Coalition Task

• Mining/Harvesting/Logging

• They can also be bought or sold through Bazaars or the Auction House

Visage
(These determine the zone for the Skirmish as well as the quality of rewards)

Rala Visage I
Rala Visage II
Rala Visage III
Rala Visage IV
Rala Visage V

Cirdas Visage I
Cirdas Visage II
Cirdas Visage III
Cirdas Visage IV
Cirdas Visage V

Torso
(These determine the size of the area, the maximum time limit, the maximum number of enemies to defeat, and number of rewards)

Faithful’s Torso I
Faithful’s Torso II
Faithful’s Torso III
Faithful’s Torso IV
Faithful’s Torso V

Legs
(These affect the number of Noetic Ascensions and type of effects bestowed by them)

**Noetic Ascensions – these give a single beneficial effect to all party members. The effect can be selected from a list when examining the Noetic Ascension.

Faithful’s Legs I
Faithful’s Legs II
Faithful’s Legs III
Faithful’s Legs IV
Faithful’s Legs V

The Battle

A skirmish will last from 30-60 minutes. (This will depend on what tier of Faithful Torso you use)
There will be two objectives per Skirmish. Completing the first objective will give everyone a Fenestral Key temporary item. Using this item will end the Skirmish and reset the time remaining to five minutes and reraise all members. This time would be used to lot items that appear in the party lot pool as well as obtain your own personal treasure from the coffer that pops.

Rala Waterways Skirmish

• Objective 1: Defeat a certain amount of NMs

• Objective 2: Defeat more NMs! (less than objective 1)
  

Cirdas Caverns Skirmish

• Objective 1: Defeat a certain amount of monsters

• Objective 2: Defeat more monsters! (less than objective 1)
  

Rewards

Some of the rewards from Skirmish include fairly decent “base” weapons, which can be further augmented by Divainy-Gamainy of the Inventors’ Coalition by trading the weapon along with a Ghastly Stone/+1/+2. The stones used to augment these weapons drop from Skirmish or can be obtained with Obsidian Fragments (which are a type of currency obtained from participating in Skirmish).

Other rewards include various synthesis materials, as well as magic scrolls.

Weapons + Augments

NQ = Ghastly Stone
HQ = Ghastly Stone +1
HQ2 = Ghastly Stone +2

*Using one of these stones will give you random augments from that particular pool*

**Weapons can be augmented as many times as you wish. You will be prompted whether you want to keep the new augment or previous one, similar to Synergy.**

***Ghastly Stones/+1/+2 can be delivered to characters on the same POL account via the Delivery system.***

Augments can also be found here on the JP wiki site.

I will add some known augments shortly, just tired of typing. Please post below with any additional info that I could add/may have missed. I will do my best to keep this updated until it has been added into a wiki.
