|Intro Text='''Abyssea''' is a set of areas of a parallel Vana'diel that was released as part of three expansion scenarios.

In this world, the beastmen have won the Crystal War and many of the citizens of Vana'diel have been slaughtered while others were chased out of their cities to find refuge at small campsites with little hope for a bright future.

The nine field areas of Abyssea are teeming with dozens of different types of monsters. It is a source of a multitude of end-game armor, the best method of gaining experience points at higher levels, and can be used in other ways as well, such as for item and gil farming. 

If you're new to this event, refer to the [[Abyssea Guide]] for starter information.

== Getting Started==
To begin the Abyssea storyline, you must zone into [[Port Jeuno]] on a level 30+ job. A cutscene will play, and the quest [[A Journey Begins]] will be flagged in your log. This is the first quest in the Abyssea storyline.

See the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] page to see the entire quest progression for Abyssea. Alternatively, there is an '''[[Abyssea Guide]]''' on the wiki that may prove useful instead.

== How to Enter ==
Entrance to Abyssea is gained via teleporting through a Cavernous Maw. Each of the nine Abyssea zones has its own entrance. In order to enter, players must possess one or more {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s. Traverser stones can be acquired from the Abyssea Service NPCs listed below. [[Joachim]] in [[Port Jeuno]] (H-8) is the main Abyssea Service NPC, and you can only progress through the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]] through him. After completing the quest [[The Truth Beckons]], which is "Quest 2" in the Abyssea storyline, players begin accumulating {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s. 

===Abyssea Service NPCs===
The following NPCs will dispense {{KI}} [[Traverser stone]]s to you, and explain Abyssea.

Only [[Joachim]] can progress the [[Abyssea Storyline Quests]].

Time in Abyssea can be extended by high-level Blue Sturdy Pyxides which will provide 10 minutes per box unlocked.

== Basics ==
=== Lights ===
When a monster is defeated or a Red Sturdy Pyxis is opened, a player may receive a message about his or her body is aglow with a certain light.  Each light has a different effect as listed below. Certain monsters cannot yield certain color lights, and certain monsters ("Ephemeral" monsters) can randomly yield significantly higher values of a specific color of light (2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x). NMs yield lights in higher quantities than normal monsters, typically double. Note that if a monster can yield ruby, azure, or amber light, and the proper final blow is dealt, the light is guaranteed. However, even if a monster can yield pearlescent light and is killed with a melee attack or one of the other pearlescent final blows, pearlescent light is NOT guaranteed unless the monster was a notorious monster.

'''Bolded quests''' are the Abyssea zone quests that are also mission objectives.

"{{color|red|*}}" denotes that the quest is considered the Quick Fame Quest for that zone.

== Notorious Monsters ==

One of the important features of Notorious Monsters in Abyssea is the ability to stagger them with certain types of attacks.  When you stagger a monster, it prevents it from performing certain actions or doing anything at all for a short period of time.

When a monster is staggered, there will be a message displayed in the chat log, along with two large exclamation points that will appear over the mob.  The color of the exclamation points will represent the type of effect that was triggered, and have benefits beyond stopping the mob from performing certain actions.

Staggering a monster more than once with the same type of weakness is not recommended- the method will become less effective with each successive use (stagger duration will decrease and influence on drops will be reduced) and can eventually cause the monster to go into Raged mode.

Please note that NM weaknesses cannot be triggered while they are casting a spell, stunned or readying/using a TP ability (this also applies to "normal attacks" that are considered TP moves).

=== Yellow {{Green!}} ===

A pair of yellow exclamation points means that a spell has staggered the monster.  The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to cast spells for a short period of time.  The elements of the spell that can cause this effect are determined by the day of the week that the monster was either claimed (for free roaming NMs) or was spawned (for forced popped NMs); specific spells representing the element of the day of the week, the day before, and the day after can cause the effect (at any given time there are 21 potential spells).  The spells on the following list are the only spells that will trigger the yellow effect, and are ordered by the days of the Vana'diel week.

* A BLM/BRD has access to the widest variety of Yellow spells (35 out of 56), lacking only Divine (5), Enfeebling (1), Blue (8), and Ninjutsu (7).
* A BLU/NIN gives the party access to another 15 spells.
* The last 6 can be cast by a WHM/RDM or WHM/SCH.

The additional effect of triggering the Yellow !! is that monsters will drop more upgrade items for [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] as well as more potential crafting materials or spell scrolls from monsters which do not drop Empyrean Armor upgrade items.
*'''Note:''' A popular alternative to farming individual [[:Category:Empyrean Armor|Empyrean Armor]] upgrade seals is to instead wait for "[[Additional Seal Battlefield Spoils Campaign]]" to appear during the monthly rotating [[Adventurer Campaigns]]. This event allows players to obtain [[Kupon I-Seal]]s ''en masse''. These seals are tradable for an entire set of the required amount of Abyssea seals to fully upgrade one piece of gear. This saves a massive amount of time, so it is recommended to stockpile these seals when this campaign is active.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific Spell. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Spell matching the element has a chance to trigger.

=== Blue {{Blue!}} ===
A pair of blue exclamation points means that a physical weapon skill has staggered the monster.  The immediate effect on the monster is that the it will be unable to use TP moves for a short period of time.  The time of day that a monster was claimed or force-spawned will determine which types of weapon skill can stagger the monster- from 6:00 to 14:00 for piercing weapons, from 14:00 to 22:00 for slashing, and from 22:00 to 6:00 for blunt.  The following weapon skills are the only weapon skills that will trigger the blue effect.

* A Monk can use all Blunt-type weaponskills except for Judgment and Hexa Strike to proc Blue between in-game hours 22:00 - 6:00
** A MNK with a subjob of WAR, WHM, PLD, DRK, SAM, BLU, or GEO can use Judgment.
** This provides a 93% chance of hitting Blue proc, with a 7% chance of it being Hexa Strike and something the MNK cannot hit.

The additional effect of triggering Blue !! is that monsters have a greater chance of dropping their rare loot.

*'''Note''': The trigger will always be a single specific WS. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] merely narrows down the list of possible triggers and does not suggest that any Weaponskill matching the time period has a chance to trigger.

=== Red {{Red!}} ===
A pair of red exclamation points means that an elemental weapon skill has staggered the monster.  The immediate effect on the monster is that it will be will be completely stopped and unable to perform any actions for a short period of time. The elemental weapon skill that triggers the Red !! is random.  The following weapon skills are the only weapon skills that can trigger the red effect:

* With a full selection of level 1 all job weapons ([[A. Voucher: Replica]] has all but [[Debahocho]] + [[Great Katana]], so watch out for [[Kupon W-Eth]] or the [[Feast of Swords]] in April), a NIN/WAR has access to all 13 of these Weaponskills.
** WAR/NIN also has access to all 13, but requires [[Master Level]]s or +skill equipment to reach 175 [[Katana]] and [[Great Katana]] skill.
** A guide containing weapon choices, highlighting level 1 all job weapons for NIN, is located here: [https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/User:Arkevorkhat/Solo_Abyssea_Red_Proc_Guide Solo Abyssea Red Proc Guide].

The additional effect of triggering Red {{Red!}} is that monsters are <b>guaranteed to bestow their [[:Category:Abyssea Atma|Atma]]</b> (if they have one) to all of the members in the alliance provided that the person who triggered the effect is still in the alliance and in the zone. In addition, this proc will guarantee the receipt of a key item used to pop further Notorious Monsters, if the monster can drop one, '''''only to the person who claimed or force-popped the monster'''''.

*'''Note''': A second {{Red!}} after the initial trigger will <b>decrease the chance</b> of KI and Atma dropping from the NM, making it no longer guaranteed.
** After the first {{Red!}} it is recommend to avoid future use of any WS on the proc list. This guarantees that you don't accidentally proc again and lose the guaranteed KI and Atma.

*'''Note''': The trigger is always a single specific WS from the above list. Receiving a hint from the [[Abyssite of discernment]] only narrows down the possible triggers.

=== [[Abyssite of discernment]] ===
When a player is in possession of [[Abyssite of discernment]], he/she will receive messages to help to find out what will trigger the various stagger effects after performing similar actions.  The player may receive a message depending on the action: casting magic on the mob may give a message about the element of the yellow stagger, using an elemental weapon skill may give a message about the element of the red stagger, and using a physical weapon skill may give a message about the type of weapon for the blue stagger.

== Colored Abyssite and Atma ==
