Pugils have voracious appetites and will devour almost anything that moves, making them well-despised amongst fishers who oft find themselves competing with the wavekin for the best fishing, grounds. Pugils themselves are worthless on the market, their flavor and texture both comparable to something between a sweaty moccasin and a sun-dried clutch of salamander eggs.

Weather

2026-03-14T09:34:29Z

Echazarek: /* Special Weather Conditions */ Fixing game icons

'''Weather''' is an event that is present in every [[zone]] and [[duty]].

Major cities and some settlements have an NPC known as a [[Skywatcher]]. These NPCs will indicate the current and upcoming weather conditions for each zone. One can also see the current weather condition of the current zone by hovering over the icon in the top-right corner of the minimap. Normal weather conditions in overworld zones and cities may change at 12:00 am, 8:00 am, and 04:00 pm Eorzean Time (every eight Eorzean hours, i.e., 23 minutes and 20 seconds real time).

Weather for a zone or a city is the same for all worlds at the same time. For example, the weather in Southern Thanalan on the World "Cactuar" at 1pm Eorzea Time will also be in Southern Thanalan on "Ultros" at 1pm Eorzea Time. Only special weather like {{game icon|Tension}} is world dependent.

Weather typically remains the same in duties, although it may change at specific points in the duty. However, dungeons in ''A Realm Reborn'' will generally reflect the time and weather conditions outside of the dungeon, a remnant of FFXIV 1.0 design when dungeons were directly linked to the open world.

Certain weather events will override the normal weather in the course of progressing the {{i|Main Scenario Quests}}. This condition is entirely localized to the player. A player at the beginning of ''Shadowbringers'', for example, will see all of Norvrandt blanketed in {{game icon|Everlasting Light}} and will gradually restore normal weather in each zone. Players who have completed ''Shadowbringers'' will see normal weather in each zone.

Several activities in the game depend on the weather conditions. These include but are not limited to:

*'''[[Fishing Guide|Fishing]]''': Several fish can only be caught during certain weather conditions and times of day. Examples include the {{item icon|Thunderbolt Sculpin}}, {{item icon|Raincaller}}, and {{item icon|Son of Levin}}. Some require very specific conditions, such as one weather type following a specific previous weather type. For example, {{item icon|Helicoprion}} can only be caught between 8 AM and 8 PM during a [[Heat Waves]] that follows [[clouds]] or [[fog]].
*'''[[Sightseeing Log]]''': Many of the sightseeing entries in ''A Realm Reborn'' areas require certain weather conditions and specific times of day. Sightseeing vistas added in later expansions do not have weather or time-of-day requirements.
*'''[[World bosses|World Boss FATES]]''': Certain world bosses will herald their arrival under a certain weather condition. For example, [[Steel Reign|Odin's FATE]] will only spawn when the weather condition in [[The Black Shroud]] is listed as [[Tension]].
*'''[[Elite Marks]]''': Certain Elite Marks will only spawn during certain weather events. For example, [[Kirlirger the Abhorrent]] will only spawn during Fog and a New Moon.
*'''[[The Diadem]]''': Some materials in the Diadem require a weather condition to be present in order for these materials to be gathered.
*'''[[Cosmic Exploration]]''': [[Red Alert]]s are associated with random weather conditions that occur randomly every few real-life hours.
* '''{{action icon|Sea Shanty}}''': This action doubles its potency during [[rain]], [[showers]], and [[thunderstorms]].
* '''{{action icon|Weather (Phantom Job Action)}}''': This {{phantom job|geomancer|name=y}} action in {{i|Occult Crescent}} turns into one of several different actions based on the current weather.

==Types of Weather Conditions==
===Normal Weather Conditions===
Normal weather conditions are always present in zones and will cycle at designated times in overworld zones and cities. Each zone has a set of possible weather conditions, and some weather is unique to a particular zone.

'''Veteran Radiant:''' Thank you for putting forth Khalzahl's name. Those whose lives he enriched will take comfort in seeing his legacy honored.
'''Veteran Radiant:''' You will forgive me for not speaking sooner, but I bear a message from Archon Y'shtola. She asks that you meet her at the High Crucible at your earliest convenience.

'''Estinien:''' Understood. Thank you.
'''Estinien:''' Y'shtola must have finished her study of the voidgate. Shall we hear what she has to say, then?

'''Varshahn:''' I will go with you.

'''Estinien:''' I thought the satrap would be too busy setting up the foundation...?

'''Varshahn:''' My clerks have been the well-oiled cogs of this administration since before Ahewann assumed the office. They understand what needs to be done.
'''Varshahn:''' And I am curious to learn what conclusions your Archon has reached concerning the gate's unique construction.

'''Estinien:''' As you wish. Allow me to lead the way, Your Excellency.
-quest accepted

'''Veteran Radiant:''' You can find your way to the High Crucible, I trust? I must rejoin my unit and assist with bringing the city's orphans under our care.

'''Estinien:''' For one who claims it is “too late” to save his sister, Vrtra seems awfully interested in whatever revelations Y'shtola might have to share.

'''Varshahn:''' Shall we hear what your scholarly comrade has to say?
-optional end

===Speak with Y'shtola.===
-voiced cutscene start
'''Y'shtola:''' Right—here we all are.

'''Estinien:''' You discovered something new?

'''Y'shtola:''' I took a closer look at that device. I was able to determine how it keeps the voidgate sealed, but not how it might instead be employed to expand the opening.
'''Y'shtola:''' For that, I would need to reference the technique developed by Vrtra's alchemists—no records of which appear to have survived the intervening years.

'''Estinien:''' We know this, so why have you sent for us? Have you learned aught of value or not?

'''Y'shtola:''' Patience, good ser—one must introduce this subject before launching into specifics.
'''Y'shtola:''' From what we understand, travel between worlds is accomplished by passing through the nebulous rift which exists between them.
'''Y'shtola:''' Picture, if you will, the moment you were called to the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' You touched a focus of some kind to help the Exarch pinpoint your location. His summoning spell then channeled the energies of the Crystal Tower to begin your journey to his world.
'''Y'shtola:''' The magicks tore a hole in the wall separating Source and shard, and cast you into the intervening nothingness.
'''Y'shtola:''' In that place, the laws of nature hold no sway...
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet even through this realm of temporal and spatial instability, you were borne safely to your destination in the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' The feat that guided you across such an unimaginable distance—both physical and metaphorical—was nothing short of a miracle.

'''Estinien:''' Then what of the many voidsent found in the Source? Who guides them here, and how?

'''Y'shtola:''' An excellent question.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though there are several methods by which the void's denizens might intrude upon our world, the rituals of summoning are the most typical.
'''Y'shtola:''' For example, let us consider the gargoyle—a creature of middling power.
'''Y'shtola:''' To call upon such an entity, the prospective summoner must force open a voidgate.
'''Y'shtola:''' The portal lasts but a moment and is relatively small, allowing only an imp or other lesser being to squeeze through with their physical body intact.
'''Y'shtola:''' Our more powerful gargoyle, however, is too large for that. Creating a gate big enough for him would require vast amounts of energy—far beyond the reserves of any one mortal practitioner.
'''Y'shtola:''' Instead, 'tis far more common to bring over only the entity's soul. We had a taste of that ourselves when a certain Exarch dragged us to the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' And just as our bodies remained in our world, the voidsent's physical form is left behind in the Thirteenth.
'''Y'shtola:''' Once at its destination, the summoned soul is granted a temporary shell to inhabit. In the gargoyle's case, a stone effigy has proven a suitable vessel.

'''Estinien:''' Wait—you said that voidsent must be called here deliberately by someone in the Source—reeled in like a fisherman with his catch?

'''Y'shtola:''' Exactly. For a being to navigate the chaos of the rift, with or without form, there must needs be a guiding agent on the other side.

'''Varshahn:''' When the hordes poured forth from Allag's great gate, it was the technologists who drew them through.
'''Varshahn:''' Though to my knowledge, planar fissures are, in essence, natural passages between our world and the void, which require no such guidance to traverse.
'''Varshahn:''' Why is only the boundary between the Source and the Thirteenth so fragile? So much so that it often tears open of its own accord..

'''Y'shtola:''' I believe solving that mystery is key to understanding travel between the Source and its reflections.

'''Estinien:''' And how do you intend to get your answers?

'''Varshahn:''' ...No, the danger is too great!

'''Y'shtola:''' Perhaps. But what some call "danger", others think of as "adventure".

'''Varshahn:''' Were you not listening to my tale? Never mind that the means to expand the gate has been lost to the ages.
'''Varshahn:''' Even could you force the portal wide enough, you would be greeted by an army of murderous horrors the very instant you stepped through.

'''Y'shtola:''' I assure you I was most attentive. And I agree that to go alone would be certain death.
'''Y'shtola:''' But if I were to bring along one who has already braved the Thirteenth and humbled the Cloud of Darkness—well, I imagine my chances would be much improved.

Question: What will you say?
> Count me in.
'''Y'shtola:''' I had a feeling you might say that.
> So much for taking it easy.
'''Y'shtola:''' Since when were you one for the quiet life?
---

'''Y'shtola:''' Once again, I put my life in your ever-reliable hands.
'''Y'shtola:''' That said, as much as I would like to march straight back to the voidgate, there is the small matter of being unable to open it without the satrap's personal authority...

'''Varshahn:''' As I've said before, I will grant you and yours any boon you choose to name...provided it does not endanger my people.

'''Y'shtola:''' You have my word that we will take every precaution—not a single voidsent will be allowed to threaten Radz-at-Han. Assuming we manage to expand the portal in the first place...

'''Estinien:''' You have a plan?

'''Y'shtola:''' Actually, I had hoped you might help us with that. I presume the alchemists you retained supplied you with some explanation of their methydology?

'''Varshahn:''' That they did. House Daemir was overseeing the project...

'''Y'shtola:''' Daemir, Daemir... Ah yes, the family associated with the Great Work.

'''Varshahn:''' I did not fully comprehend the theory, but their research began with a voidsent which had slipped through the fissure.
'''Varshahn:''' After a thorough examination, they created an arcane simulacrum possessed of similar qualities. A man-made voidsent, if you will. It was apparently indispensable in their efforts to enlarge the gate.

'''Y'shtola:''' ...A man-made voidsent?

'''Varshahn:''' Yes. Being great admirers of the Archons, House Daemir submitted detailed notes to Sharlayan's official committee. They expected praise and accolades for their simulacrum...and were thus devastated to be informed that their work has been classified as prohibited material.

'''Y'shtola:''' If that's true, then those notes might still be stored in a forbidden archive somewhere. Not Gubal, of course, since that library had yet to be built. Which leaves us with...

Question: What will you say?
> With the restricted section of Noumenon?
'''Y'shtola:''' Yes, it may very well hold a copy.
> With G'raha's favorite place to sneak around.
'''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. Noumenon's restricted stacks may very well hold a copy.
> With...what?
'''Y'shtola:''' Have you already forgotten G'raha's debacle in Noumenon?
'''Y'shtola:''' ...The restricted section where he was caught sneaking about? It may very well hold a copy of the Daemirs' documentation.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' In which case, I say we head directly to Sharlayan.

'''Estinien:''' Unless you anticipate needing help to reach the high shelves, I see myself being of little use. Go on ahead, I still need to find Mehrahd and tell him about the Khalzahl Foundation.

'''Y'shtola:''' Let us be on our way, as well.

'''Varshahn:''' They are resolved to venture into the void. Do I sit idly by...?

===Speak with Y'shtola at Sharlayan's aetheryte plaza and have her accompany you.===

'''Y'shtola:''' If we're to enter Noumenon's restricted archives with a minimum of fuss, then we must secure the permission of the Forum.
'''Y'shtola:''' First, however, we shall need to enlist the cooperation of a member to broach the matter on our behalf. Who do you think might be inclined to assist us?
'''Y'shtola:''' No one springs to mind?
'''Y'shtola:''' Hm... What of Scholarch Montichaigne?
'''Y'shtola:''' He did come to G'raha's defense during the inquiry, after all.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis settled. Let us head to Phenomenon and see if he's willing to help us once more.

Question: What will you do? (Escort)
> Talk.
'''Y'shtola:''' If I was pressed to name our allies in the Forum, Scholarch Montichaigne would certainly be at the top of the list. Hopefully he agrees to aid us with our request.

> Part ways.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Y'shtola?
'''Y'shtola:''' Need to be somewhere? Very well, I will wait for you by the aetheryte.
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, not to worry─I had plenty of reading to keep me occupied while you were busy. Shall we continue?

> Nothing.

-optional start
> ''Discuss the Studium.'' (Conversation point: {{Convert coordinate|5.4, 9.6}})
'''Y'shtola:''' I apprenticed to Master Matoya at the age of seven, and labored under her tutelage for a full decade. I never had the chance to attend the Studium...
'''Y'shtola:''' Neither did Thancred, as I recall. Soon after Master Louisoix took him in off the streets, he was put in the care of another Archon. His was a rigorous and practical education in the arts of espionage and survival.
'''Y'shtola:''' I sometimes wonder what my life might have been like had I pursued studies here instead...

Question:What will you say?
>> Tea at the Last Stand after a day of lectures?
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, that does sound lovely. Afternoons with friends spent sipping tea and debating theories.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Still, I wouldn't give up my time with Master Matoya for the world.
'''Y'shtola:''' The dank cave I studied in was about as far from the bright, airy halls of academia as one could get. But it was a wondrous, magical childhood nonetheless.
>> Should...should I wonder as well?
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, never mind me. 'Twas just an idle thought.

===Speak with Montichaigne while Y'shtola is accompanying you.===
-cutscene start
'''Montichaigne:''' Ah, visitors! And quite esteemed ones at that. What may I do for you?

'''Y'shtola:''' Pray forgive the intrusion, Scholarch, but we were hoping you might help us secure permission to enter Noumenon's restricted archives.

'''Montichaigne:''' Oho! No furtive forays into the stacks this time, eh?
'''Montichaigne:''' I applaud this newfound sense of propriety. Yet in all this wide world of comparative serenity, what so compels you to disturb a vault of forbidden wisdom?
'''Montichaigne:''' Fascinating. I had no idea such a technique existed.

'''Y'shtola:''' I would've been surprised if you had. If my assumption is correct, the research left behind by House Daemir has lain dormant in Sharlayan's archives for many centuries.

'''Montichaigne:''' And if you unearth this research, what then? Surely you don't intend to cross over into the void?

'''Y'shtola:''' That is, in fact, precisely what we intend.

'''Montichaigne:''' ...To what end, pray tell?

'''Y'shtola:''' To develop a method of traversing the rift, for one, that I might keep my word to a distant friend.
'''Y'shtola:''' Sentiment aside, I have journeyed to the end of existence. I have heard, felt, and thought endlessly about the truth of our world and the echo of its future. And yet I want to understand ''everything''─to unravel it all down to its very last secret.
'''Y'shtola:''' What scholar worthy of the name wouldn't force open a voidgate or two if a grand revelation was the promised reward?

'''Montichaigne:''' Hahaha! Marvelous!
'''Montichaigne:''' An audacious proposal worthy of Master Matoya herself!
'''Montichaigne:''' And after hearing the whys and the wherefores, I for one do not believe you would use the knowledge for ill.
'''Montichaigne:''' I see no reason not to present your request for the Forum's consideration.
'''Montichaigne:''' Although... Your petition would be better received if you also had the support of another well-placed acquaintance.
'''Montichaigne:''' Why, Master Fourchenault, of course! He can hardly ignore an earnest request from his dear children's most treasured comrades.

'''Y'shtola:''' I was hesitant to approach him directly, but there is no denying that having Master Fourchenault on our side would tip the balance in our favor. Very well. We will pay a visit to the Leveilleur estate and plead our case.

'''Montichaigne:''' Ah, one last thing before you go. I would consider it a personal favor if you might share with me the discoveries you make in the void.
'''Montichaigne:''' My appetite for knowledge is every bit as insatiable as yours, I'd wager, so if you could see your way to indulging an old man's curiosity...?

'''Y'shtola:''' Of course, Scholarch. We will be sure to pass on any revelations.
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Montichaigne:''' The Forum can be a cantankerous beast─one needs a persuasive voice to get it moving in the desired direction.

'''Y'shtola:''' Montichaigne seemed optimistic, but I doubt convincing Fourchenault to champion our cause will be as simple as showing up on his doorstep.

===Speak with the House Leveilleur butler while Y'shtola is accompanying you.===
-cutscene start
'''House Leveilleur Butler:''' Ah, Master/Mistress [Forename], Mistress Y'shtola, how may I be of service?

'''Y'shtola:''' We've come to speak with Master Fourchenault. Is he home, by any chance?

'''House Leveilleur Butler:''' Yes, the master is in residence. I shall inform him that he has guests.

'''Fourchenault:''' Well, well. Ameliance would invite you inside for tea, but I assume this is not a social visit. You have some matter of import to discuss?
'''Fourchenault:''' Then pray proceed─you have my full attention.
'''Fourchenault:''' Well, I suppose I should praise you for following the proper protocols this time around...

'''Y'shtola:''' Scholarch Montichaigne expressed much the same sentiment. I assure you, we'll not attempt to circumvent the Forum's authority again...unless it is absolutely necessary, of course.

'''Fourchenault:''' ...Of course.
'''Fourchenault:''' You do understand that the restricted archives are restricted for good reason, yes? If no pressing need exists, then why risk the consequences of employing this forbidden knowledge?

'''Y'shtola:''' For a brother who misses his sister. She was his guardian and his friend─a selfless hero who crossed the rift between worlds to save her homeland from horror and suffering.
'''Y'shtola:''' But the brother has given up on thoughts of reunion. He spends his efforts elsewhere, watching over a people yet healing from the flames of the Final Days, loyal to his duty while betraying the longing in his heart.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis no vital mission, perhaps, reuniting these siblings. But it feels a worthy cause to pursue, all the same.
'''Y'shtola:''' As one who feared losing his own loved ones, and spent years in research to prevent it, surely you appreciate how painful such a separation must be.

'''Fourchenault:''' Reflections are still very much a mystery to us. Offering to share your experiences in the First should constitute a fair exchange for our cooperation.
'''Fourchenault:''' Do not celebrate just yet. The Forum must still be convinced.
'''Fourchenault:''' I will add your request to the list of today's deliberations, and deliver the decision to you at the Baldesion Annex.
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''House Leveilleur Butler:''' Please do come again. We are always glad to receive such close companions of the twins.

'''Y'shtola:''' The matter is out of our hands. All that remains is to return to the annex and await word of the Forum's decision.
-optional end

===Accompany Y'shtola to the Baldesion Annex and speak with her.===
-cutscene start
'''Y'shtola:''' So. What did the Forum decide?

'''Montichaigne:''' To put it bluntly, Master Matoya has burned some bridges here in Sharlayan─and salted the earth for good measure. When it became clear that her student was the petitioner in question, well, no few members voiced their discontent...
'''Montichaigne:''' Then the chamber was reminded─in no uncertain terms, I might add─of the incredible debt we owe to you and your companions.
'''Montichaigne:''' That served to silence the grumbles and stiffen a few spines, and it was agreed that allowing you entry to the archives was the least we could do in return.

'''Y'shtola:''' That is wonderful news. Thank you both for speaking on our behalf.

'''Fourchenault:''' Yes, well... As I am sure you are aware, this permission was not extended lightly. Forbidden knowledge is to be treated with the utmost caution, and there will be repercussions if it is not.
'''Fourchenault:''' I wish you well in your endeavor, and bid you good day.
'''Montichaigne:''' Ever the same, that one...

'''Y'shtola:''' Uncompromising? Aye, but that very stoicism is exactly what Sharlayan needed to guide it through not one, but two exoduses.

'''Montichaigne:''' If I were but five years younger, I'd cast aside my lectern and join you on your adventures in a heartbeat...

===Speak with Y'shtola.===

'''Y'shtola:''' That went rather well, I think.
'''Y'shtola:''' As a child, I dreamed up any number of schemes for getting my hands on those forbidden tomes... And now I can simply walk in through the door.
'''Y'shtola:''' Our focus will be on finding House Daemir's research notes, of course, but the thought of so much knowledge at my disposal has me feeling a little giddy.

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!

Searchingway: Namingway does so love to cart you around like one of his many, many dictionaries. <chuckle>

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.

> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.'' (Conversation point)

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.'' (Conversation point)

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.

-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Each and every discovery shall receive my very best─whether I am giving it its first name or its hundredth!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That's all I need to be able to look upon my contributions with pride.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Oh, but I'm rambling, aren't I? And we've kept Searchingway waiting once again!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What a journey that was─as Searchingway himself will doubtless agree, romantic that he is!

Searchingway: The touring duo returns! Did Namingway get the chance to recount his naming escapades here on Oizys?

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Indeed, together we scoured the land for all of its most tragically beautiful vistas!

Searchingway: Excellent! While you were away, I received reports that significant progress has been made in restoring the Euhedron.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron! Pray tell, what have they discovered?

Searchingway: Good question. Dylise is on-site as we speak─what say we go and find out?

-cutscene start
Dylise: Your timing is impeccable, for the data transfer from Desert Burrow has just concluded. If all goes to plan, we'll gain control of this thing any moment.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What is the meaning of this...swirly, sparkly spectacle? Is it some sort of record the Voyagers left behind?

Searchingway: Strange... This pattern of lights resembles the layout of star system RG-4.
Searchingway: In which case, the curved line would suggest a trajectory...
Searchingway: Could this be a navigational chart─one designed for using each star's orbital plane as a means of acceleration?

Dylise: We have evidence enough of the Voyagers' prowess with gravitational magicks to place it firmly within the realm of probability. Which ''could'' mean...
Dylise: The Voyagers left this star of their own volition!

Searchingway: Perhaps. But...
Searchingway: By the look of these coordinates, their starship must have departed at high velocity.
Searchingway: And to achieve this flight path with gravitational magicks would necessitate a spell of considerable scale for even the smallest vessel.
Searchingway: Were they to repeat that process to facilitate regular travel, gravity of the very star would suffer for it...would it not?

Dylise: ...It's a stronger theory than aught the research team has managed to come up with.
Dylise: I'll see who I can recruit for further analysis of this data.

Searchingway: The Phaenna observation team ought to hear of this, too. They may be able to work out precisely where the Voyagers were headed!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Then...we're going after them!?

Searchingway: You bet your carrots we're going after them! If we can make contact with their descendants, it will be the initiative's greatest hop yet!
Searchingway: For that reason, I'll have the whole crew pivot to data analysis. As soon as we have our next coordinates, you'll be the first to know.
Searchingway: Because when the time comes, I want you both on board with me!

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!

Searchingway: Namingway does so love to cart you around like one of his many, many dictionaries. <chuckle>

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

-optional start
Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!

> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?

> Nothing.

> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.'' (Conversation point)
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.'' (Conversation point)
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.

-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

===After the Sightseeing Event===

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
'''Veteran Radiant:''' Thank you for putting forth Khalzahl's name. Those whose lives he enriched will take comfort in seeing his legacy honored.
'''Veteran Radiant:''' You will forgive me for not speaking sooner, but I bear a message from Archon Y'shtola. She asks that you meet her at the High Crucible at your earliest convenience.

'''Estinien:''' Understood. Thank you.
'''Estinien:''' Y'shtola must have finished her study of the voidgate. Shall we hear what she has to say, then?

'''Varshahn:''' I will go with you.

'''Estinien:''' I thought the satrap would be too busy setting up the foundation...?

'''Varshahn:''' My clerks have been the well-oiled cogs of this administration since before Ahewann assumed the office. They understand what needs to be done.
'''Varshahn:''' And I am curious to learn what conclusions your Archon has reached concerning the gate's unique construction.

'''Estinien:''' As you wish. Allow me to lead the way, Your Excellency.
-quest accepted

'''Veteran Radiant:''' You can find your way to the High Crucible, I trust? I must rejoin my unit and assist with bringing the city's orphans under our care.

'''Estinien:''' For one who claims it is “too late” to save his sister, Vrtra seems awfully interested in whatever revelations Y'shtola might have to share.

'''Varshahn:''' Shall we hear what your scholarly comrade has to say?

===Speak with Y'shtola. (Cutscene)===
-voiced cutscene start
'''Y'shtola:''' Right—here we all are.

'''Estinien:''' You discovered something new?

'''Y'shtola:''' I took a closer look at that device. I was able to determine how it keeps the voidgate sealed, but not how it might instead be employed to expand the opening.
'''Y'shtola:''' For that, I would need to reference the technique developed by Vrtra's alchemists—no records of which appear to have survived the intervening years.

'''Estinien:''' We know this, so why have you sent for us? Have you learned aught of value or not?

'''Y'shtola:''' Patience, good ser—one must introduce this subject before launching into specifics.
'''Y'shtola:''' From what we understand, travel between worlds is accomplished by passing through the nebulous rift which exists between them.
'''Y'shtola:''' Picture, if you will, the moment you were called to the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' You touched a focus of some kind to help the Exarch pinpoint your location. His summoning spell then channeled the energies of the Crystal Tower to begin your journey to his world.
'''Y'shtola:''' The magicks tore a hole in the wall separating Source and shard, and cast you into the intervening nothingness.
'''Y'shtola:''' In that place, the laws of nature hold no sway...
'''Y'shtola:''' Yet even through this realm of temporal and spatial instability, you were borne safely to your destination in the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' The feat that guided you across such an unimaginable distance—both physical and metaphorical—was nothing short of a miracle.

'''Estinien:''' Then what of the many voidsent found in the Source? Who guides them here, and how?

'''Y'shtola:''' An excellent question.
'''Y'shtola:''' Though there are several methods by which the void's denizens might intrude upon our world, the rituals of summoning are the most typical.
'''Y'shtola:''' For example, let us consider the gargoyle—a creature of middling power.
'''Y'shtola:''' To call upon such an entity, the prospective summoner must force open a voidgate.
'''Y'shtola:''' The portal lasts but a moment and is relatively small, allowing only an imp or other lesser being to squeeze through with their physical body intact.
'''Y'shtola:''' Our more powerful gargoyle, however, is too large for that. Creating a gate big enough for him would require vast amounts of energy—far beyond the reserves of any one mortal practitioner.
'''Y'shtola:''' Instead, 'tis far more common to bring over only the entity's soul. We had a taste of that ourselves when a certain Exarch dragged us to the First.
'''Y'shtola:''' And just as our bodies remained in our world, the voidsent's physical form is left behind in the Thirteenth.
'''Y'shtola:''' Once at its destination, the summoned soul is granted a temporary shell to inhabit. In the gargoyle's case, a stone effigy has proven a suitable vessel.

'''Estinien:''' Wait—you said that voidsent must be called here deliberately by someone in the Source—reeled in like a fisherman with his catch?

'''Y'shtola:''' Exactly. For a being to navigate the chaos of the rift, with or without form, there must needs be a guiding agent on the other side.

'''Varshahn:''' When the hordes poured forth from Allag's great gate, it was the technologists who drew them through.
'''Varshahn:''' Though to my knowledge, planar fissures are, in essence, natural passages between our world and the void, which require no such guidance to traverse.
'''Varshahn:''' Why is only the boundary between the Source and the Thirteenth so fragile? So much so that it often tears open of its own accord..

'''Y'shtola:''' I believe solving that mystery is key to understanding travel between the Source and its reflections.

'''Estinien:''' And how do you intend to get your answers?

'''Varshahn:''' ...No, the danger is too great!

'''Y'shtola:''' Perhaps. But what some call "danger", others think of as "adventure".

'''Varshahn:''' Were you not listening to my tale? Never mind that the means to expand the gate has been lost to the ages.
'''Varshahn:''' Even could you force the portal wide enough, you would be greeted by an army of murderous horrors the very instant you stepped through.

'''Y'shtola:''' I assure you I was most attentive. And I agree that to go alone would be certain death.
'''Y'shtola:''' But if I were to bring along one who has already braved the Thirteenth and humbled the Cloud of Darkness—well, I imagine my chances would be much improved.

Question: What will you say?
> Count me in.
'''Y'shtola:''' I had a feeling you might say that.
> So much for taking it easy.
'''Y'shtola:''' Since when were you one for the quiet life?
---

'''Y'shtola:''' Once again, I put my life in your ever-reliable hands.
'''Y'shtola:''' That said, as much as I would like to march straight back to the voidgate, there is the small matter of being unable to open it without the satrap's personal authority...

'''Varshahn:''' As I've said before, I will grant you and yours any boon you choose to name...provided it does not endanger my people.

'''Y'shtola:''' You have my word that we will take every precaution—not a single voidsent will be allowed to threaten Radz-at-Han. Assuming we manage to expand the portal in the first place...

'''Estinien:''' You have a plan?

'''Y'shtola:''' Actually, I had hoped you might help us with that. I presume the alchemists you retained supplied you with some explanation of their methydology?

'''Varshahn:''' That they did. House Daemir was overseeing the project...

'''Y'shtola:''' Daemir, Daemir... Ah yes, the family associated with the Great Work.

'''Varshahn:''' I did not fully comprehend the theory, but their research began with a voidsent which had slipped through the fissure.
'''Varshahn:''' After a thorough examination, they created an arcane simulacrum possessed of similar qualities. A man-made voidsent, if you will. It was apparently indispensable in their efforts to enlarge the gate.

'''Y'shtola:''' ...A man-made voidsent?

'''Varshahn:''' Yes. Being great admirers of the Archons, House Daemir submitted detailed notes to Sharlayan's official committee. They expected praise and accolades for their simulacrum...and were thus devastated to be informed that their work has been classified as prohibited material.

'''Y'shtola:''' If that's true, then those notes might still be stored in a forbidden archive somewhere. Not Gubal, of course, since that library had yet to be built. Which leaves us with...

Question: What will you say?
> With the restricted section of Noumenon?
'''Y'shtola:''' Yes, it may very well hold a copy.
> With G'raha's favorite place to sneak around.
'''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. Noumenon's restricted stacks may very well hold a copy.
> With...what?
'''Y'shtola:''' Have you already forgotten G'raha's debacle in Noumenon?
'''Y'shtola:''' ...The restricted section where he was caught sneaking about? It may very well hold a copy of the Daemirs' documentation.
---

'''Y'shtola:''' In which case, I say we head directly to Sharlayan.

'''Estinien:''' Unless you anticipate needing help to reach the high shelves, I see myself being of little use. Go on ahead, I still need to find Mehrahd and tell him about the Khalzahl Foundation.

'''Y'shtola:''' Let us be on our way, as well.

'''Varshahn:''' They are resolved to venture into the void. Do I sit idly by...?

===Speak with Y'shtola at Sharlayan's aetheryte plaza and have her accompany you.===

'''Y'shtola:''' If we're to enter Noumenon's restricted archives with a minimum of fuss, then we must secure the permission of the Forum.
'''Y'shtola:''' First, however, we shall need to enlist the cooperation of a member to broach the matter on our behalf. Who do you think might be inclined to assist us?
'''Y'shtola:''' No one springs to mind?
'''Y'shtola:''' Hm... What of Scholarch Montichaigne?
'''Y'shtola:''' He did come to G'raha's defense during the inquiry, after all.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis settled. Let us head to Phenomenon and see if he's willing to help us once more.

-optional start
'''Y'shtola:''' If I was pressed to name our allies in the Forum, Scholarch Montichaigne would certainly be at the top of the list. Hopefully he agrees to aid us with our request.

> Discuss the Studium. (Conversation point: {{Convert coordinate|X:5.4, Y:9.6}})

'''Y'shtola:''' I apprenticed to Master Matoya at the age of seven, and labored under her tutelage for a full decade. I never had the chance to attend the Studium...
'''Y'shtola:''' Neither did Thancred, as I recall. Soon after Master Louisoix took him in off the streets, he was put in the care of another Archon. His was a rigorous and practical education in the arts of espionage and survival.
'''Y'shtola:''' I sometimes wonder what my life might have been like had I pursued studies here instead...

Question:What will you say?
>> Tea at the Last Stand after a day of lectures?
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, that does sound lovely. Afternoons with friends spent sipping tea and debating theories.
'''Y'shtola:''' ...Still, I wouldn't give up my time with Master Matoya for the world.
'''Y'shtola:''' The dank cave I studied in was about as far from the bright, airy halls of academia as one could get. But it was a wondrous, magical childhood nonetheless.
>> Should...should I wonder as well?
'''Y'shtola:''' Oh, never mind me. 'Twas just an idle thought.

'''Montichaigne:''' Ah, visitors! And quite esteemed ones at that. What may I do for you?

'''Y'shtola:''' Pray forgive the intrusion, Scholarch, but we were hoping you might help us secure permission to enter Noumenon's restricted archives.

'''Montichaigne:''' Oho! No furtive forays into the stacks this time, eh?
'''Montichaigne:''' I applaud this newfound sense of propriety. Yet in all this wide world of comparative serenity, what so compels you to disturb a vault of forbidden wisdom?
'''Montichaigne:''' Fascinating. I had no idea such a technique existed.

'''Y'shtola:''' I would've been surprised if you had. If my assumption is correct, the research left behind by House Daemir has lain dormant in Sharlayan's archives for many centuries.

'''Montichaigne:''' And if you unearth this research, what then? Surely you don't intend to cross over into the void?

'''Y'shtola:''' That is, in fact, precisely what we intend.

'''Montichaigne:''' ...To what end, pray tell?

'''Y'shtola:''' To develop a method of traversing the rift, for one, that I might keep my word to a distant friend.
'''Y'shtola:''' Sentiment aside, I have journeyed to the end of existence. I have heard, felt, and thought endlessly about the truth of our world and the echo of its future. And yet I want to understand ''everything''─to unravel it all down to its very last secret.
'''Y'shtola:''' What scholar worthy of the name wouldn't force open a voidgate or two if a grand revelation was the promised reward?

'''Montichaigne:''' Hahaha! Marvelous!
'''Montichaigne:''' An audacious proposal worthy of Master Matoya herself!
'''Montichaigne:''' And after hearing the whys and the wherefores, I for one do not believe you would use the knowledge for ill.
'''Montichaigne:''' I see no reason not to present your request for the Forum's consideration.
'''Montichaigne:''' Although... Your petition would be better received if you also had the support of another well-placed acquaintance.
'''Montichaigne:''' Why, Master Fourchenault, of course! He can hardly ignore an earnest request from his dear children's most treasured comrades.

'''Y'shtola:''' I was hesitant to approach him directly, but there is no denying that having Master Fourchenault on our side would tip the balance in our favor. Very well. We will pay a visit to the Leveilleur estate and plead our case.

'''Montichaigne:''' Ah, one last thing before you go. I would consider it a personal favor if you might share with me the discoveries you make in the void.
'''Montichaigne:''' My appetite for knowledge is every bit as insatiable as yours, I'd wager, so if you could see your way to indulging an old man's curiosity...?

'''Y'shtola:''' Of course, Scholarch. We will be sure to pass on any revelations.

'''Montichaigne:''' The Forum can be a cantankerous beast─one needs a persuasive voice to get it moving in the desired direction.

'''House Leveilleur Butler:''' Ah, Master/Mistress [Forename], Mistress Y'shtola, how may I be of service?

'''Y'shtola:''' We've come to speak with Master Fourchenault. Is he home, by any chance?

'''House Leveilleur Butler:''' Yes, the master is in residence. I shall inform him that he has guests.

'''Fourchenault:''' Well, well. Ameliance would invite you inside for tea, but I assume this is not a social visit. You have some matter of import to discuss?
'''Fourchenault:''' Then pray proceed─you have my full attention.
'''Fourchenault:''' Well, I suppose I should praise you for following the proper protocols this time around...

'''Y'shtola:''' Scholarch Montichaigne expressed much the same sentiment. I assure you, we'll not attempt to circumvent the Forum's authority again...unless it is absolutely necessary, of course.

'''Fourchenault:''' ...Of course.
'''Fourchenault:''' You do understand that the restricted archives are restricted for good reason, yes? If no pressing need exists, then why risk the consequences of employing this forbidden knowledge?

'''Y'shtola:''' For a brother who misses his sister. She was his guardian and his friend─a selfless hero who crossed the rift between worlds to save her homeland from horror and suffering.
'''Y'shtola:''' But the brother has given up on thoughts of reunion. He spends his efforts elsewhere, watching over a people yet healing from the flames of the Final Days, loyal to his duty while betraying the longing in his heart.
'''Y'shtola:''' 'Tis no vital mission, perhaps, reuniting these siblings. But it feels a worthy cause to pursue, all the same.
'''Y'shtola:''' As one who feared losing his own loved ones, and spent years in research to prevent it, surely you appreciate how painful such a separation must be.

'''Fourchenault:''' Reflections are still very much a mystery to us. Offering to share your experiences in the First should constitute a fair exchange for our cooperation.
'''Fourchenault:''' Do not celebrate just yet. The Forum must still be convinced.

'''Y'shtola:''' So. What did the Forum decide?

'''Montichaigne:''' To put it bluntly, Master Matoya has burned some bridges here in Sharlayan─and salted the earth for good measure. When it became clear that her student was the petitioner in question, well, no few members voiced their discontent...
'''Montichaigne:''' Then the chamber was reminded─in no uncertain terms, I might add─of the incredible debt we owe to you and your companions.
'''Montichaigne:''' That served to silence the grumbles and stiffen a few spines, and it was agreed that allowing you entry to the archives was the least we could do in return.

'''Y'shtola:''' That is wonderful news. Thank you both for speaking on our behalf.

'''Fourchenault:''' Yes, well... As I am sure you are aware, this permission was not extended lightly. Forbidden knowledge is to be treated with the utmost caution, and there will be repercussions if it is not.
'''Fourchenault:''' I wish you well in your endeavor, and bid you good day.

Echazarek: /* Cosmic Exploration Report */ Updating datetimes for Oizys completion

[[File:Cosmic exploration banner img2.jpg|center|400px|link=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/]]
{{quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_2/ Patch 7.2 Special Site]|Searchingway wants you to join the Cosmic Exploration Initiative! Research and develop cutting-edge artisan's tools, all the while furthering the team's preparations for a maiden voyage to stars yet uncharted!}}
{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/ Official Website]|Adventurers in spaaace! Your curiosity and creativity will fuel a journey that's truly out of this world.}}
{{Lead icon|cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|frame=none}} '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations on different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches.
* The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets.
* The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star," an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface.
* The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and containing ruins from an unknown civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{i|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes on all zones, same time as the Gold Saucer's GATEs, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit once started.

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable

|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-

|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. The tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can all be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

†Some Standard (non-repeatable) Stellar Successes award Type I Data. Daily (repeatable) Stellar Successes do not award any Cosmic Tool Data.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed. The buff will restore itself upon leaving and re-entering the zone.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, '''there are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Chuchuroon]].
*Speak with [[Sisipu]].
*Speak to [[Wawalago]].
*Deliver [[Navigator's Dagger|Navigator's daggers]] to Chuchuroon.

*Report to [[Sisipu]].

==Journal==
*Sisipu could use a helping hand around the Fishermen's Guild.

*Hear what Chuchuroon has to say about a fish he is seeking.

*Chuchuroon's description seems vague at best. Consult with Sisipu about how to proceed.

*Sisipu is equally perplexed by the description, but believes Wawalago may be able to elucidate.

*Drawing on his vast knowledge of fish, Wawalago has determined that the Navigator's dagger is the fish Chuchuroon seeks. Use [[Rat Tail|rat tails]] to fish five out of the waters near the Brewer's Beacon in western La Noscea and deliver them to Chuchuroon.

*You deliver the Navigator's daggers to Chuchuroon, and he is over the moon. Speak with Sisipu again to find out her opinion on your hard day's work.

*Sisipu expresses relief at having someone both capable and reliable in you, albeit by bemoaning the lack of such traits among the other members of the guild.

*The next fisher quest will be available from Sisipu upon reaching level 20.

==Walkthrough==
Head to [[The Brewer's Beacon]] {{convert coordinate|30,30}} in [[Western La Noscea]] (Aetheryte: [[Swiftperch]]) with {{item icon|Rat Tail}} as bait.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Sisipu:''' I've been thinking, [Forename]. Now that you can catch more fish than you can eat, it's time you learned a little about the art of fishmongering.
'''Sisipu:''' Normally, customers purchase fish that have already been caught, but a certain Qiqirn sailor has a penchant for freshness.
'''Sisipu:''' Unfortunately, the fishermen who usually fill his orders have all, somewhat ironically, gone fishing. And so I turn to you, [Forename].
'''Sisipu:''' I'm hoping you can talk to Chuchuroon over there...or at least listen to him.

===Speaking with Chuchuroon===
'''Chuchuroon:''' Chuchuroon the sailor sail the seas. You the fisherman/fisherwoman fish the fish?
'''Chuchuroon:''' Looking out as lookout, Chuchuroon spot spots in water——jumping silver fish jump, flashing silver flashes!
'''Chuchuroon:''' Chuchuroon wish to taste silver fish taste!
'''Chuchuroon:''' Chuchuroon pay good silver if you fish five good silver fish!

===Speaking with Sisipu===
'''Sisipu:''' ...Well, Chuchuroon has a way with words, doesn't he? Unfortunately, his way appears to be repeating the words "silver fish." Only the most experienced fisherman would be able to decipher that nonsense.
'''Sisipu:''' This sounds like a job for Wawalago, since I'm busy doing his job. Rest assured that what he may lack in sense, he more than makes up for in nonsense.

===Speaking with Wawalago===
'''Wawalago:''' Since when is it civil to sneak up and scare your seniors? I suddenly suspected Sisipu sent you to slit my stomach!
'''Wawalago:''' That woman's well aware of my weakness——if she's going to shout about the way I shove down shrimp, she should know better than to leave them showing on the shelf! Or is that not why you're here?
'''Wawalago:''' ...Hmmm. Setting table-setting aside, I'll bet you shells to shellfish I know what the Qiqirn spied.
'''Wawalago:''' If it was silver and sauntered while skimming the sea, I'm somewhat certain he saw a Navigator's dagger.
'''Wawalago:''' Daggers don't lend themselves to a Lominsan's liking, but the settlers of the southerly isles stir them into soup stock.
'''Wawalago:''' You can find them by the Brewer's Beacon. Snaring one is a slippery sleight for a starter, but a flitting flick of the fist for a fisherman with a gull's eye like you have.
'''Wawalago:''' Now, daggers are drawn to decoys that dangle, so do yourself a favor and fetch some rat tails for them to flash their fins at.

===Delivering Navigator's daggers to Chuchuroon (Cutscene)===
'''Chuchuroon:''' You fish and catch five fish for Chuchuroon!?
'''''<Hand Over Navigator's Daggers>'''''
====Cutscene start====
'''Chuchuroon:''' The shiny shine, the smelly smell! Cannot wait to taste tasty taste!

'''Sisipu:''' Well, it looks like we found the fish you were after!

'''Chuchuroon:''' You find fine find! Maybe Chuchuroon season with season, or smoke with smoke? Maybe grill on grill? Many, many cooking options for cook!

'''Sisipu:''' My, you're certainly putting a great deal of thought into this...

'''Chuchuroon:''' Hahaha! Chuchuroon gifted to feast on feast gift! Best Chuchuroon regard you with Chuchuroon's best regards.

'''Sisipu:''' We're always grateful for your patronage, Chuchuroon.
'''Sisipu:''' Please see him out and return here afterwards, [Forename]. We've more to discuss.

===Reporting to Sisipu===
'''Sisipu:''' Phew! I'm glad you were here to handle that sudden request.
'''Sisipu:''' So many of these freeloading fishermen can't be bothered to stay ashore for more than a day at a time. You, on the other hand, have proven far more reliable.
'''Sisipu:''' I can think of at least one Qiqirn who'd agree.
'''Sisipu:''' Now that you've seen how rewarding fishmongering can be, I hope you'll take the initiative to try it yourself!

Echazarek: /* Cosmic Exploration Report */ Updating datetimes for Oizys completion

[[File:Cosmic exploration banner img2.jpg|center|400px|link=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/]]
{{quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_2/ Patch 7.2 Special Site]|Searchingway wants you to join the Cosmic Exploration Initiative! Research and develop cutting-edge artisan's tools, all the while furthering the team's preparations for a maiden voyage to stars yet uncharted!}}
{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/ Official Website]|Adventurers in spaaace! Your curiosity and creativity will fuel a journey that's truly out of this world.}}
{{Lead icon|cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|frame=none}} '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations on different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches.
* The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets.
* The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star," an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface.
* The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and containing ruins from an unknown civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{i|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes on all zones, same time as the Gold Saucer's GATEs, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit once started.

{{#lst:Cosmic Exploration FATEs|main}}

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. The tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can all be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

†Some Standard (non-repeatable) Stellar Successes award Type I Data. Daily (repeatable) Stellar Successes do not award any Cosmic Tool Data.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed. The buff will restore itself upon leaving and re-entering the zone.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, '''there are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

==Trivia==
* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this.

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?
==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

-optional start
Searchingway: Namingway does so love to cart you around like one of his many, many dictionaries. <chuckle>
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.
---

-optional start
> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.
---
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---
-cutscene end

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Each and every discovery shall receive my very best─whether I am giving it its first name or its hundredth!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That's all I need to be able to look upon my contributions with pride.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Oh, but I'm rambling, aren't I? And we've kept Searchingway waiting once again!
[End of the escorting section.]
-cutscene end

===Speak with Searchingway at Terra Firma===
-optional start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What a journey that was─as Searchingway himself will doubtless agree, romantic that he is!
-optional end

Searchingway: The touring duo returns! Did Namingway get the chance to recount his naming escapades here on Oizys?

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Indeed, together we scoured the land for all of its most tragically beautiful vistas!

Searchingway: Excellent! While you were away, I received reports that significant progress has been made in restoring the Euhedron.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron! Pray tell, what have they discovered?

Searchingway: Good question. Dylise is on-site as we speak─what say we go and find out?

-cutscene start
Dylise: Your timing is impeccable, for the data transfer from Desert Burrow has just concluded. If all goes to plan, we'll gain control of this thing any moment.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What is the meaning of this...swirly, sparkly spectacle? Is it some sort of record the Voyagers left behind?

Searchingway: Strange... This pattern of lights resembles the layout of star system RG-4.
Searchingway: In which case, the curved line would suggest a trajectory...
Searchingway: Could this be a navigational chart─one designed for using each star's orbital plane as a means of acceleration?

Dylise: We have evidence enough of the Voyagers' prowess with gravitational magicks to place it firmly within the realm of probability. Which ''could'' mean...
Dylise: The Voyagers left this star of their own volition!

Searchingway: Perhaps. But...
Searchingway: By the look of these coordinates, their starship must have departed at high velocity.
Searchingway: And to achieve this flight path with gravitational magicks would necessitate a spell of considerable scale for even the smallest vessel.
Searchingway: Were they to repeat that process to facilitate regular travel, gravity of the very star would suffer for it...would it not?

Dylise: ...It's a stronger theory than aught the research team has managed to come up with.
Dylise: I'll see who I can recruit for further analysis of this data.

Searchingway: The Phaenna observation team ought to hear of this, too. They may be able to work out precisely where the Voyagers were headed!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Then...we're going after them!?

Searchingway: You bet your carrots we're going after them! If we can make contact with their descendants, it will be the initiative's greatest hop yet!
Searchingway: For that reason, I'll have the whole crew pivot to data analysis. As soon as we have our next coordinates, you'll be the first to know.
Searchingway: Because when the time comes, I want you both on board with me!

* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.

> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.

-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Each and every discovery shall receive my very best─whether I am giving it its first name or its hundredth!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That's all I need to be able to look upon my contributions with pride.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Oh, but I'm rambling, aren't I? And we've kept Searchingway waiting once again!
[End of the escorting section.]

===Speak with Searchingway at Terra Firma===
-optional start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What a journey that was─as Searchingway himself will doubtless agree, romantic that he is!
-optional end

Searchingway: The touring duo returns! Did Namingway get the chance to recount his naming escapades here on Oizys?

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Indeed, together we scoured the land for all of its most tragically beautiful vistas!

Searchingway: Excellent! While you were away, I received reports that significant progress has been made in restoring the Euhedron.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron! Pray tell, what have they discovered?

Searchingway: Good question. Dylise is on-site as we speak─what say we go and find out?

-cutscene start
Dylise: Your timing is impeccable, for the data transfer from Desert Burrow has just concluded. If all goes to plan, we'll gain control of this thing any moment.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What is the meaning of this...swirly, sparkly spectacle? Is it some sort of record the Voyagers left behind?

Searchingway: Strange... This pattern of lights resembles the layout of star system RG-4.
Searchingway: In which case, the curved line would suggest a trajectory...
Searchingway: Could this be a navigational chart─one designed for using each star's orbital plane as a means of acceleration?

Dylise: We have evidence enough of the Voyagers' prowess with gravitational magicks to place it firmly within the realm of probability. Which ''could'' mean...
Dylise: The Voyagers left this star of their own volition!

Searchingway: Perhaps. But...
Searchingway: By the look of these coordinates, their starship must have departed at high velocity.
Searchingway: And to achieve this flight path with gravitational magicks would necessitate a spell of considerable scale for even the smallest vessel.
Searchingway: Were they to repeat that process to facilitate regular travel, gravity of the very star would suffer for it...would it not?

Dylise: ...It's a stronger theory than aught the research team has managed to come up with.
Dylise: I'll see who I can recruit for further analysis of this data.

Searchingway: The Phaenna observation team ought to hear of this, too. They may be able to work out precisely where the Voyagers were headed!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Then...we're going after them!?

Searchingway: You bet your carrots we're going after them! If we can make contact with their descendants, it will be the initiative's greatest hop yet!
Searchingway: For that reason, I'll have the whole crew pivot to data analysis. As soon as we have our next coordinates, you'll be the first to know.
Searchingway: Because when the time comes, I want you both on board with me!

==Steps==
*Gather information from the [[Vath]]. 0/3

*Speak with the [[Voracious Vath|voracious Vath]].

*Obtain a [[Hunk of Nanka Flesh|hunk of nanka flesh]] from a [[Clearwater Nanka|clearwater nanka]].

*Deliver the [[Hunk of Nanka Flesh|nanka flesh]] to the [[Voracious Vath|voracious Vath]].

*Speak with [[Alphinaud]].

==Journal==
*[[Ysayle]] questions the [[Gnath]]'s justification for committing the crime of summoning, drawing a distinction between their expansionist aims and her own hopes for peace. [[Alphinaud]] concludes that if the [[beastmen]] are truly only motivated by territorial gain, they must be unaware of the terrible price that [[Ravana|their god]]'s presence exacts from the land. Plainly, the creature must die. Citing the protection afforded her by the Echo, Ysayle volunteers to confront the [[primal]], but [[Estinien]] is quick to point out that she lacks the means to call it forth. Speak with the inhabitants of [[Loth ast Vath]], and learn more about the Gnath and their god.

*You have gleaned what knowledge you can from the hive's residents, but it seems there is one more inhabitant who is eager to share. Speak with the [[Voracious Vath|voracious Vath]], and hear what he has to say.

*You approach the voracious Vath, and he hints that more information will be forthcoming should he receive a gift from the “generous hunters.” Seek out the [[Clearwater Nanka|clearwater nanka]], and obtain a [[Hunk of Nanka Flesh|hunk of their flesh]].

*You have obtained a hunk of nanka flesh. Return to Loth ast Vath and deliver the gift to the voracious Vath.

*Having hungrily taken receipt of the nanka flesh, the [[Vath]] explains how the thoughts and senses of every Gnath in the main colony are linked by the presence of the [[Overmind]]. Discuss the implications of this revelation with Alphinaud.

*You share your findings with the rest of the party, and Alphinaud summarizes what you have learned of Gnath society. Though Estinien is unimpressed with the Vath's meager knowledge of their own god, Ysayle believes that the elder's offhand suggestion -- that you surrender yourselves as sacrifices -- may hold some merit...

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
-optional start
'''Alphinaud:''' The beast tribes have ever summoned their gods out of necessity. That the Gnath should do so out of mere covetousness sets a worrying precedent...

'''Estinien:''' Even a wounded dragon is a dangerous opponent—these antmen did well to overpower one.
-optional end

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
'''Ysayle:''' I call upon the power of a primal for the greater good...conscious all the while that I do so at grave cost to the land. I reason that it is a necessary evil, and willingly shoulder the burden of my sin.
'''Ysayle:''' In suggesting that such crimes can be justified, you may argue that I presume too much─but you must surely see that I am aware of the magnitude of my transgressions. Not so the Gnath. They summon their deity for no greater purpose than to expand their dominion.

'''Alphinaud:''' To a Scion of the Seventh Dawn─one sworn to eliminate the primal threat─the distinction you draw seems questionable at best. But the fact remains that my own grandfather risked unleashing the power of the Twelve in an attempt to prevent the Calamity. Thus, while I may not condone your actions, I at least understand them.
'''Alphinaud:''' ''Not so the Gnath'', as you so rightly put it. If they truly seek naught but territorial gain, I can only conclude that they are ignorant of the ruinous consequences of their god's insatiable appetite. The longer this primal is suffered to exist, the greater the suffering it will cause. It must be destroyed.

'''Estinien:''' How lightly you propose the destruction of this god, Master Alphinaud─a being of whom we know naught. Has it occurred to you that you may be sending the Warrior of Light to her/his death?

'''Alphinaud:''' No, I─ <sigh> ...You have the right of it, Estinien. 'Twould seem it is I who am guilty of presuming too much.
'''Alphinaud:''' Pray forgive me, [Forename].

Question: How do you respond?
> I do not fear my duty.
> ...
---

'''Ysayle:''' Wait. [Forename] need not face this foe alone. Like her/him, I am blessed with the Echo's protection, and may do battle without fear of primal influence. Let me bear this burden.

'''Estinien:''' Ha! Do you truly imagine yourself a second Warrior of Light? Remind me: how many primals have you faced, my lady? Not that it matters─we know not where this god resides, or how to challenge it. Unless you mean to pray until it appears?

'''Alphinaud:''' Hm. Estinien makes a valid point. Let us speak with the Vath, and learn how best to secure an audience with their deity. In this, at least, I may be of assistance.

'''Estinien:''' The young lord certainly appears eager to prove his worth...
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

-optional start
'''Estinien:''' By the Fury... I would swear these beastmen know less about their god than I do.

'''Ysayle:''' The Vath greet mine every question with cryptic utterances. I fear I am no closer to understanding the tenets of their faith...

'''Alphinaud:''' There must be some way of infiltrating the main colony...
-optional end

===Gathering information from the Vath===
'''Cibleroit:''' We are Vath. We are the Nonmind. We do not hear the Onemind's thoughts. We cannot predict their will.

'''Vath Storyteller:''' <click> <click> You wish to meet your god? Offer yourself as a sacrifice, and you will soon be brought before Him. We would mourn the loss of such generous hunters, however...

'''Vath Fleetfoot:''' <click> <click> Put this idea from your minds, generous hunters. If you meet with our god, then He will have your souls. Surely you are not so generous as that?

===Speaking with the voracious Vath===
'''Voracious Vath:''' You are generous hunters, yes? Many gifts you have brought, but not enough for ''all'' Vath to enjoy. Maybe you could bring us just one more?
'''Voracious Vath:''' We are very fond of nanka flesh. Yes, the meat of a young nanka would make a fine repast.

-optional start
'''Voracious Vath:''' Nanka flesh loosens the mandibles, and makes it easier to talk. Just a bite of two would do...

'''Alphinaud:''' The Vath tell me that their tribe is not accustomed to giving each individual a name. It seems they only grasped the concept after they began trading with the hunters.

'''Estinien:''' And what has that to do with their primal or their faith, Master Alphinaud? Let us glean the information we require, and be done with this place...

'''Ysayle:''' For once, I am in agreement with the dragoon. Speaking with these beastmen is an exercise in frustration.

-optional end

===Delivering the nanka flesh to the voracious Vath===
'''Voracious Vath:''' We Vath do enjoy our nanka flesh. Have you been out hunting yet...?
[The player hands over the nanka flesh.]
'''Voracious Vath:''' Another gift for the Vath!? So unexpected! Mmm, yes, you will have more of the words you strange hunters hunger for. Listen, now.
'''Voracious Vath:''' The senses of the Onemind are enmeshed by the Overmind─what one sees, all see; what one feels, all feel.
'''Voracious Vath:''' Alert a single Gnath, and the whole hive is alerted. To reach our god undetected is all but impossible!

-optional start
'''Estinien:''' I do not envy the antmen their bond. Were every man's mind made known to his neighbor, Ishgard would not last a bell.

'''Ysayle:''' How strange must spoken language seem to those who once shared minds... 'Tis little wonder the Vath are by turns so obscure and transparent in their meaning.
-optional end

===Speaking with Alphinaud===
'''Alphinaud:''' The Vath are wont to allude to certain concepts without explanation, but I believe I am beginning to grasp a few of the fundamentals.
'''Alphinaud:''' From what I understand, the king-like “Overmind” sits at the center of Gnath society, and its presence somehow allows its subjects to communicate without need of word or gesture.
'''Alphinaud:''' These Gnath─the ones who inhabit the larger hive─are known as the “Onemind,” and it was by their combined will that the primal was summoned.
'''Alphinaud:''' Those who reside in this smaller hive, however, are the Vath─or the “Nonmind”─who, for reasons that yet escape me, seem to have been excluded from the telepathic bond which connects their Gnath counterparts. Thus are the Vath ignorant of the Onemind's thoughts and intentions.

'''Estinien:''' ...And of the nature of their own god. In summary, we have wasted our time.

'''Ysayle:''' Not so. Perilous though it may be, the Vath ''did'' furnish us with one certain method of approaching the primal: as sacrifices. Should we allow ourselves to be captured in the environs of the colony, the Gnath will bring us before their deity to make an offering of our souls...

}} __NOTOC__
==Walkthrough==
[[An Odd Job]] is a level 90 quasi-quest. There are no steps to this quest: Talking to the questgiver both accepts and completes the quest. It will immediately unlock [[Variant and Criterion Dungeons]].

==Steps==
Speak with [[Osmon]] at [[The Peristyle]] in [[Old Sharlayan]].

==Journal==
There are no journal entries for this quest.

==Dialogue==
System: In order to undertake this quest, you must be a Disciple of War or Magic of level 90 or above.

Osmon: Hello, how may I help yooou...you're ''[Forename Surname]'', aren't you?
Osmon: Aha! I thought I recognized that heroic mien!
Osmon: How wonderful to meet you! The name's Osmon.
Osmon: I'm a gleaner, as you may have surmised, mostly specializing in the collection of rare and curious books...and it would seem fate has brought us together!
Osmon: My work has given me an appetite for well-crafted stories, you see, but recently I've struggled to find any truly engaging material.
Osmon: So I thought to myself, “Self! Why waste all this time bemoaning the lack of quality literature, when you could be writing the exact kind of tales you enjoy!”
Osmon: Which is why I'm so excited to be speaking with the vaunted champion, ''[Forename]''! If I could convince you to share some of the minutiae of your adventures, it would lend my fiction an undeniable authenticity!

Q1: What will you say?
A1: Let me tell you about the time I was just starting out...
Here's a story of the Dragonsong War you may not have heard...
Well, when I stood beside the Resistance fighters of Ala Mhigo, and later, of Doma...
There's a lot to consider when you visit another world...or the world of the past...

(-???-): Well, that was a complete waste of─ Osmon? Are you actually chatting!? Scholar above, it's a miracle! And here I thought you capable of little more than grunts and sighs!

Osmon: Ugh... May I introduce Shallow Moor, my colleague and eternal tormentor.

Shallow Moor: Oh, come now, it's just a bit of playful banter. Trisassant and I could use some good humor after failing to track down our quarry...
Shallow Moor: <gasp> I'll be damned!
Shallow Moor: ''[Forename]'', this is an honor...and an incredible stroke of luck! You are the very person we've been searching for.
Shallow Moor: If you will indulge me for a moment, I can explain the situation at hand.
Shallow Moor: As you know, Sharlayan was charged in antiquity with fulfilling a sacred duty─a duty which kept the gleaners buzzing to and fro like angry hornets.

Osmon: Aye, we would complete one grueling list of procurements, only to be handed yet another. Then another. The work was all we knew.

Shallow Moor: But now that those days are behind us, the tasks have slowed to a trickle. And we find ourselves, well, strangely idle.
Shallow Moor: Thus the guildship, in its wisdom, has forged a partnership with the Adventurers' Guild. We now have a system in place where odd jobs from other countries can be funneled here to us in Sharlayan!
Shallow Moor: The tasks they pass on to us are, for the most part, naught your average gleaner cannot handle.
Shallow Moor: There is one client, however, who has asked for you specifically. And as the Adventurers' Guild has no official presence in our city, we agreed to the “odd job” of facilitating that request─think of us as their substitute Sharlayan branch, if you will.
Shallow Moor: In any case, I'll be here at the counter, ready to provide you with the details! It doesn't appear to be an urgent matter, so feel free to engage the request whenever your schedule allows.
Shallow Moor: Oh, and be sure to browse Trisassant's wares. He has a special selection available for anyone who takes part in our odd job enterprise!

Osmon: Ah, ''[Forename]''...? I didn't quite get the chance before Shallow Moor commandeered the conversation, but I wanted to thank you for indulging me with your stories.
Osmon: Do you think we might talk again sometime? I should love to hear how this odd job of yours turns out!

System: As a result of the partnership between the Adventurers' Guild and the gleaners' guildship, you are now able to accept an odd job from Shallow Moor at the peristyle.

Cosmic Exploration

2026-02-26T01:01:41Z

Echazarek: Lich -> Cosmic Exploration Report

[[File:Cosmic exploration banner img2.jpg|center|400px|link=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/]]
{{quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_2/ Patch 7.2 Special Site]|Searchingway wants you to join the Cosmic Exploration Initiative! Research and develop cutting-edge artisan's tools, all the while furthering the team's preparations for a maiden voyage to stars yet uncharted!}}
{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/ Official Website]|Adventurers in spaaace! Your curiosity and creativity will fuel a journey that's truly out of this world.}}
{{Lead icon|cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|frame=none}} '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations in different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches.
* The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets.
* The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star", an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface.
* The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and home to a fallen civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===
[[File:Exotablet.png|right|thumb|The Exotablet interface]]

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes on all zones, same time as the Gold Saucer's GATEs, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit once started.

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable
! Currency !! Zone !! Mech Op Pilot Applications !! Cosmic Fortunes
|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-
| {{cex|phaenna credit}} [[Phaenna Credit]]s || [[Phaenna]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|27.8,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|28.6,12.7}}
|-
| {{cex|oizys credit}} [[Oizys Credit]]s || [[Oizys]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|17.5, 23.8}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|18.2, 24.5}}
|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. The tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can all be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

†Some Standard (non-repeatable) Stellar Successes award Type I Data. Daily (repeatable) Stellar Successes do not award any Cosmic Tool Data.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed. The buff will restore itself upon leaving and re-entering the zone.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, '''there are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

==Trivia==
* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this.

[[File:cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|link=|left|40px]] '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations in different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches.
* The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets.
* The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star", an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface.
* The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and home to a fallen civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===
[[File:Exotablet.png|right|thumb|The Exotablet interface]]
The exotablet interface provides a list of options and tracks how much Cosmic Exploration currency the player has in the lower section. This is similar to the Islekeep's Index in [[Island Sanctuary]].

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes on all zones, same time as the Gold Saucer's GATEs, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit once started.

===Piloting a mech===

{{#lst:Cosmic Exploration FATEs|main}}

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable
! Currency !! Zone !! Mech Op Pilot Applications !! Cosmic Fortunes
|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-
| {{cex|phaenna credit}} [[Phaenna Credit]]s || [[Phaenna]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|27.8,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|28.6,12.7}}
|-
| {{cex|oizys credit}} [[Oizys Credit]]s || [[Oizys]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|17.5, 23.8}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|18.2, 24.5}}
|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. The tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can all be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed. The buff will restore itself upon leaving and re-entering the zone.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

==Trivia==
* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this. [https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_3/ Patch 7.3 Special Site (JP)] where [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%83%91%E6%98%9F 惑星] = planet</ref>

[[File:cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|link=|left|40px]] '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations in different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches.
* The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets.
* The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star", an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface.
* The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and home to a fallen civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===
[[File:Exotablet.png|right|thumb|The Exotablet interface]]
The exotablet interface provides a list of options and tracks how much Cosmic Exploration currency the player has in the lower section. This is similar to the Islekeep's Index in [[Island Sanctuary]].

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit.

===Piloting a mech===

{{#lst:Cosmic Exploration FATEs|main}}

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable
! Currency !! Zone !! Mech Op Pilot Applications !! Cosmic Fortunes
|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-
| {{cex|phaenna credit}} [[Phaenna Credit]]s || [[Phaenna]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|27.8,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|28.6,12.7}}
|-
| {{cex|oizys credit}} [[Oizys Credit]]s || [[Oizys]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|17.5, 23.8}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|18.2, 24.5}}
|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, and 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. The tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can all be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed. The buff will restore itself upon leaving and re-entering the zone.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, '''there are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

==Trivia==
* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this. [https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_3/ Patch 7.3 Special Site (JP)] where [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%83%91%E6%98%9F 惑星] = planet</ref>

{{section-stub|quest|reason=Dialogue needs review}}
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
ENGINEER: Y-You there! Could I have a moment of your time? The situation is grave beyond measure...
ENGINEER: You have traveled far and wide across this star, so you must know─or at the very least, can imagine─how dreadful it is to traverse without aid of the Cosmoliner. It is no exaggeration to say that the success of the initiative entirely hinges upon the reliable transportation it provides!
ENGINEER: Yet, despite the importance of regular inspections, when I'm out there...I can't... I simply can't...
ENGINEER: Open my eyes!!!
ENGINEER: ...Ah, but I am getting ahead of myself. It all started, you see, when someone claimed to have seen a strange...<gulp>...''figure'' pursuing them while riding the Cosmoliner.
ENGINEER: Some say 'tis the vengeful ghost of a Voyager... Some say 'tis the unholy union of man and sandworm...
ENGINEER: But ''all'' say 'tis the last thing you see before you die! A horrible pale f-figure that no cosmoboard can outpace...
ENGINEER: Call me craven if you will. Call me anything you like─just please, conduct the inspection in my stead!
ENGINEER: ...Really? Er, great! The stations with equipment in need of examination are along the westernmost line, from Cape Geras to northern Erg Eris. Precisely the route the f-figure is said to haunt...
ENGINEER: Eep! Er, yes, if you begin at the Cape Geras station and take the Cosmoliner north, you should pass through each inspection point.
ENGINEER: You inspect the Cosmoliner station. Fortunately, all appears to be in working order.
ENGINEER: You scan your surroundings, but nothing resembling a pale figure catches your eye. Perhaps you should move on.
ENGINEER: You inspect the Cosmoliner station. You notice the “replacement needed” lamp is lit, but otherwise, nothing seems amiss.
ENGINEER: As for a pale figure...there is a Loporrit present, but you are unlikely to be in any danger. Perhaps you should move on.
ENGINEER: You inspect the Cosmoliner station, and─is that a bloody handprint!? ...Upon closer examination, you determine it is in fact a dirt smear.
ENGINEER: This is unmistakably the route you were told to inspect, yet you've found no ghost or mutated sandworm. The rumor remains unsubstantiated.
ENGINEER: In any case, the Cosmoliner engineer will be eager to learn the results of the inspection. You should return to Terra Firma.
ENGINEER: Y-You're back! Thank the gods! So you scrutinized every last ilm, and...?
ENGINEER: ...No mind-shattering sight? No race for your life? Huh. What could have inspired such vivid rumors, then?

Question: What will you say?

> A mech pilot racing to a red alert zone!
> Could be a ghost─but one that picks its battles wisely.
> Probably just a high-speed drone.
> A sandworm in pursuit of an especially unlucky Loporrit?
---

ENGINEER: Our mechs do have the speed to keep pace with the Cosmoliner. And come to think of it, they are rather fearsome...
ENGINEER: Y-You jest! ...You do jest, don't you? Please, I cannot bumble about with my eyes closed when it's my turn on maintenance for the rest of my life...
ENGINEER: There ''is'' something unsettling about those lifeless machines, isn't there? I imagine they fly at the same speed as a cosmoboard, too...
ENGINEER: Could that explain why some have heard guttural screams? Yet there's been no missing personnel report, and surely the Loporrits wouldn't fail to notice if one of their number had been devoured. Surely...
ENGINEER: Ah, to the hells with my imagination! Each new possibility conjures horrors I had never before considered!
ENGINEER: Yet my work is too important to allow them to rule me forever. For the Cosmoliner system does more than facilitate travel─it serves as a conduit for the rainbow crystal, extending its power across the star.
ENGINEER: This is why we often must establish stations in dangerous locales. Regulating the environment is much more important when one is atop a levitating landmass or deep beneath the surface.
ENGINEER: And conditions aren't static, so each station is designed to be installed and uninstalled as needs dictate, with minimal impact to the surrounding environs.
ENGINEER: ...Nevertheless, I'd rather not add “ghostly apparitions” to the list of variables! Our work is hazardous enough.
ENGINEER: That you remain alive is a hopeful sign, at least. Perhaps when I venture out in the future, closing my mind's eye will be enough.

Echazarek: Updating Cosmic Exploration Report and revising some stuff

[[File:Cosmic exploration banner img2.jpg|center|400px|link=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/]]
{{quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_2/ Patch 7.2 Special Site]|Searchingway wants you to join the Cosmic Exploration Initiative! Research and develop cutting-edge artisan's tools, all the while furthering the team's preparations for a maiden voyage to stars yet uncharted!}}
{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/ Official Website]|Adventurers in spaaace! Your curiosity and creativity will fuel a journey that's truly out of this world.}}
[[File:cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|link=|left|40px]] '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools, '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations in different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches. The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets. The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star", an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface. The third location is [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and home to a fallen civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the latest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys if unlocked) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown. This will automatically apply upon starting a mech ops mission, and is affected by class switches like all movement buffs.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become available as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===
[[File:Exotablet.png|right|thumb|The Exotablet interface]]
The exotablet interface provides a list of options and tracks how much Cosmic Exploration currency the player has in the lower section. This is similar to the Islekeep's Index in [[Island Sanctuary]].

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers like in overworld (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit.

===Piloting a mech===

{{#lst:Cosmic Exploration FATEs|main}}

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable
! Currency !! Zone !! Mech Op Pilot Applications !! Cosmic Fortunes
|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-
| {{cex|phaenna credit}} [[Phaenna Credit]]s || [[Phaenna]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|27.8,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|28.6,12.7}}
|-
| {{cex|oizys credit}} [[Oizys Credit]]s || [[Oizys]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|17.5, 23.8}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|18.2, 24.5}}
|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, of which 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, of which 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. Both the tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count streak by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected 200 dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, '''there are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this.

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?
==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

-optional start
Searchingway: Namingway does so love to cart you around like one of his many, many dictionaries. <chuckle>
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.
---

-optional start
> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.
---
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Each and every discovery shall receive my very best─whether I am giving it its first name or its hundredth!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That's all I need to be able to look upon my contributions with pride.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Oh, but I'm rambling, aren't I? And we've kept Searchingway waiting once again!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Indeed, together we scoured the land for all of its most tragically beautiful vistas!

Searchingway: Excellent! While you were away, I received reports that significant progress has been made in restoring the Euhedron.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron! Pray tell, what have they discovered?

Searchingway: Good question. Dylise is on-site as we speak─what say we go and find out?

Dylise: Your timing is impeccable, for the data transfer from Desert Burrow has just concluded. If all goes to plan, we'll gain control of this thing any moment.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What is the meaning of this...swirly, sparkly spectacle? Is it some sort of record the Voyagers left behind?

Searchingway: Strange... This pattern of lights resembles the layout of star system RG-4.
Searchingway: In which case, the curved line would suggest a trajectory...
Searchingway: Could this be a navigational chart─one designed for using each star's orbital plane as a means of acceleration?

Dylise: We have evidence enough of the Voyagers' prowess with gravitational magicks to place it firmly within the realm of probability. Which ''could'' mean...
Dylise: The Voyagers left this star of their own volition!

Searchingway: Perhaps. But...
Searchingway: By the look of these coordinates, their starship must have departed at high velocity.
Searchingway: And to achieve this flight path with gravitational magicks would necessitate a spell of considerable scale for even the smallest vessel.
Searchingway: Were they to repeat that process to facilitate regular travel, gravity of the very star would suffer for it...would it not?

Dylise: ...It's a stronger theory than aught the research team has managed to come up with.
Dylise: I'll see who I can recruit for further analysis of this data.

Searchingway: The Phaenna observation team ought to hear of this, too. They may be able to work out precisely where the Voyagers were headed!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Then...we're going after them!?

Searchingway: You bet your carrots we're going after them! If we can make contact with their descendants, it will be the initiative's greatest hop yet!
Searchingway: For that reason, I'll have the whole crew pivot to data analysis. As soon as we have our next coordinates, you'll be the first to know.

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?
==Dialogue==
{{section-stub|quest|reason=Quest is available on few servers only, and only one review was set for this dialogue.}}
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.

> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

* Searchingway hopes you are ready to go boldly once more.
* Searchingway's giddiness all but gives away his glad tidings: the initiative has settled on its next destination─currently known only as RG 4-6─which may have once been home to intelligent life. Tempted by the possibility of replacing the star's mundane moniker and putting words to an unknown civilization's remains besides, Namingway gladly agrees to make the journey to this new-to-you star. Likewise, you find the promise of adventure too persuasive to ignore, and require no further encouragement to join the two Loporrits on the voyage.
* Always happy to be of service, the good captain Cruisingway stands ready to launch at a moment's notice. You need only say the word─and possibly brace for impact.
* With Cruisingway at the helm, you arrive safely at RG 4-6, a star afflicted with gravitational aether currents that strip the very land from its surface. In honor of the suffering this nevertheless beautiful world has undergone, Namingway decides it shall henceforth be known as Oizys.
* Once you are settled as firmly on the ground as one can be under such conditions, Searchingway introduces you to Dylise, a Sharlayan scholar working on the ''Bibliotheca Historica''. Owing to her expertise in the comparative study of civilizations, Searchingway has tasked her with leading the research effort on Oizys, and she already has a theory: the structures here were built not by indigenous peoples, but visitors like yourselves. This, of course, raises more questions than it answers, but with time and teamwork, any number of truths may be brought to light.

'''Searchingway:''' ''Forename''! I'm so glad to have caught you.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' I recognize that giddy gleam in your eye, Searchingway. Is it time?

'''Searchingway:''' Got it in one!
'''Searchingway:''' As you know, we've been using the Stellascope to scan for our next destination.
'''Searchingway:''' And that star shall be...
'''Searchingway:''' RG 4-6!

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Nooo, not again! These insipid provisional titles are an affront to my very being!

'''Searchingway:''' Then you need only heed the call of the initiative, my friend.
'''Searchingway:''' What awaits are not only resources in abundance, but an entire civilization! ...The remains of one, at least.
'''Searchingway:''' We may one day learn what names they bestowed upon their works. But until then, we have more need of your talents than ever before!
'''Searchingway:''' An advance party is securing a safe location for our newest base as we speak, so what do you say to another leap into the great unnamed?

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' In search of fitting appellations not only for the star, but the cultural legacies upon it... This grand undertaking is getting grander by the day!

'''Searchingway:''' It has grown far beyond what we Loporrits could hope to achieve alone. Your skills and experience, ''Forename'', will doubtless prove indispensable in our quest for understanding.
'''Searchingway:''' Come along, and we'll delve into the mysteries of this new star together!
'''Searchingway:''' To the ''Galactic Way'', then! I'll have the good captain show us aboard.

'''Cruisingway:''' Always a pleasure to see you, ''Forename''. <wink> Here for another ride?
'''Cruisingway:''' The engine's all warmed up for you, if you'd care to follow me...

'''System:''' Blast off to RG 4-6? (yes/no)

'''Cruisingway:''' Take your time, love! My humble chariot shall await your return. <wink>
'''Cruisingway:''' Then I'll make it so. Hold on tight...

'''Cruisingway:''' All passengers ready and willing!
'''Cruisingway:''' We've recorded some unusual gravity readings at the destination, so I suggest you prepare for a rocky landing.
'''Cruisingway:''' Routing engine output to anti-gravity thrusters. Ignition... Liftoff!
'''Cruisingway:''' Aligning with stellar current. Coordinates set for RG 4-6... ''Galactic Way'', engage!
'''Cruisingway:''' Cosmohopper disengaged. Another smooth ride, if I do say so myself! Thus far, at any rate...

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Would you look at that...
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' All of that bedrock, jettisoned into the atmosphere! It's as if the star was torn apart.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Yet it endures, ever bearing the scars of its suffering...
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' ...Oizys.

'''Searchingway:''' These ruins are the largest we've recorded on Oizys so far.

'''Dylise@Recently Arrived Researcher:''' Is that what we're calling it, then?

'''Searchingway:''' Dylise! Are you acquainted with my friend here?

> If the player has completed the [[Faculty of Archaeology]] quests
'''Dylise:''' ''Forename Surname'', I presume. Tankin has spoken of you─we've known each other for years, you see.
> Otherwise
'''Dylise:''' ''Forename Surname'', I presume. I've heard tell of you─“an indispensable asset to the initiative.”
---
'''Dylise:''' I am Dylise, an editor of the ''Bibliotheca Historica'' at Noumenon. I specialize in the comparative study of civilizations.
'''Dylise:''' Given that archaeological sites proliferate this star, I thought to offer the initiative my expertise.

'''Searchingway:''' And we are ever so grateful to have her at the helm of our research efforts!

'''Dylise:''' I look forward to working closely with you and the other fine adventurers here.
'''Dylise:''' At present, our endeavor to understand this star has barely begun.
'''Dylise:''' We're currently in the midst of evaluating what we've discovered.
'''Dylise:''' While we've found no intelligent life lingering amidst the ruins, there are flora, fauna, and minerals in abundance.
'''Dylise:''' The density of the aether across the star─and its instability─are also noteworthy.
'''Dylise:''' These aetherial conditions have resulted in gravitational anomalies such as the one you see above you.
'''Dylise:''' It hangs like a moon, the intensity of its pull waxing and waning irregularly. To approach is reckless at best.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Waxing...strongly enough to pull a Loporrit screaming into the sky!?

'''Dylise:''' You will be reassured to hear that Studium specialists have augmented the rainbow crystal with gravitational magicks to counterbalance the environmental effects at play.
'''Dylise:''' Said effects are not truly ''negated'', however─only mitigated. Be mindful of the objects around you, as they may float or fall unexpectedly.

'''Searchingway:''' Yet in spite of it all, civilization once flourished here! The structures we've found are proof of that.

'''Dylise:''' Structures with little architectural variation, nor aught suggesting they were constructed over a span greater than a generation. I am inclined to see them as part of an outpost not unlike our own.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' I believe I catch your meaning! Could it be that their architects came from another star, just as we have?

'''Dylise:''' The evidence suggests as much. And sheer scale indicates it was more than a mere base of operations for exploration.
'''Dylise:''' The question we must ask, then, is why build a colony here? For what purpose did these visitors come, and whence?
'''Dylise:''' ...Not to mention the looming issue of why they are here no longer. The more we learn, the more mysteries abound.

'''Searchingway:''' Just think, ''Forename'': what started as my humble curiosity has led us all the way here, to the discovery of an unknown civilization!
'''Searchingway:''' Who were these people, and what tragedy befell them? These burning questions deserve answers!
'''Searchingway:''' ...But to find them, the initiative must leave no stone unturned. Do what you can to lend a paw here on Oizys, and I will keep you apprised of any major developments.

'''Dylise:''' Likewise, I shall be in touch, be it via exotablet or another intermediary.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Time to roll up the proverbial sleeves. Any stone you turn, I shall name!
-quest complete
'''System:''' You can now explore Oizys. Check your exotablet for the latest information on how to further the Cosmic Exploration Initiative!
'''System:''' You may travel to Oizys from the moon at any time by speaking to either Cruisingway in Sinus Ardorum or Drivingway at Bestways Burrow.
'''System:''' Please note that the Loporrits have also recalibrated the Bestways Burrow aetheryte to facilitate one-way travel to this latest stop on the initiative's path to cosmic discovery.

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Namingway (NPC)|Namingway]] and have him accompany you.
*Speak with Namingway at [[Glassblowers' Beacon]] while he is accompanying you.
*Speak with Namingway at [[the Soda-lime Float]] while he is accompanying you.
*Speak with Namingway at [[Fusingway Vent]] while he is accompanying you.
*Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
*Speak with [[Searchingway]].
==Journal==
*Searchingway wishes to laud you for your efforts on Phaenna.
*While you and Searchingway are discussing Phaenna's treacherous terrain, Namingway returns from making his rounds, confident that he has now named the entirety of the star. As with Sinus Ardorum, he invites you to take a tour with him, and Searchingway happily sends you on your way.
*The grand tour of Phaenna will start at Glassblowers' Beacon. Together, you and Namingway seek out a good, clear view of the area.

※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
*Namingway expounds on how the sheltering properties of the Glassblown Grotto's dome gave rise to its name, emphasizing that it provides an ideal location for a base of operations. Fragile though the works of man and Loporrit may be, Glassblowers' Beacon has undoubtedly proven itself the atelier in which the initiative's future will be shaped, just as he anticipated.
*Your next destination is the Soda-lime Float, which─contrary to what the name suggests─is most certainly ''not'' potable. Within this stream of liquid glass are equally deceptive “fish” formed of glass and condensed aether, but lacking the qualities typically associated with fauna. For now, “arcane entities” appears to be the closest classification of these piscine impostors.
*To the southwest, it transpires that Fusingway Vent was named for yet another glassworking technique because, as with so much on Phaenna, the magma within contains nearly enough silicon to be considered molten glass. He further warns you not to dawdle in the vicinity of said magma, lest the vacillating temperatures take you by surprise and result in the melting of the soles of your shoes (or worse).
*You follow Namingway to the top of the Iridized Rise which, as he tells it, was named for the rainbow colors of its many glossy stairs. After speaking much and more of Phaenna's almost-plants, he reflects on the many questions that the star raises in his mind─questions that he entrusts to future generations to answer.
*Back at Glassblowers' Beacon at last, you are ushered to an unexpected final stop on your tour: the Phaenna Stellascope. This massive magnifying device has already enabled the Cosmic Exploration Initiative to detect stars beyond Phaenna, some of which Searchingway hopes may yet harbor intelligent life in spite of Meteion's dire proclamations. Thus does the initiative's attention turn to finding the ideal candidate for the ''Galactic Way''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s next voyage.

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
'''Searchingway:''' I'm grateful for your dedication to running to and fro on the initiative's behalf, [Forename]. You've gotten an eyeful of the terrain in only the metaphorical sense, I hope?

Question: What will you say?

> Fret not─I've yet to be impaled.
> When I'm working, I hardly notice the shards piercing my tender flesh.
'''Searchingway:''' That's, erm, good! Very good. Well done─much appreciated! Perhaps do see a chirurgeon, though.
---

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' I must say, the sheen of this land borders on the blinding. Had I known, I might have asked Drivingway for one of their manifold pairs of sunglasses.

'''Searchingway:''' Welcome back, Namingway! From what I've read of the reports on my exotablet, you've certainly wasted no time crafting nomenclature for Phaenna.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' I confess, it has been a spectacular challenge to name an entire star from top to bottom─and maintain a unifying theme besides!─but at last, my work is done.

'''Searchingway:''' Don't go putting your feet up just yet, my friend. This is only our first destination!

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Yes, of course. Rest assured, I shan't let my dictionaries gather dust.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' You know, [Forename], I did so enjoy our tour of Sinus Ardorum. Might you join me on another edifying jaunt?

'''Searchingway:''' Doubtless you're keen to hear what Namingway's cooked up. Hop to it, then! I'll be here when you return.
-cutscene end
-optional start
'''Searchingway:''' Namingway's terribly proud of all that he's accomplished here. Humor him, won't you?
-optional end

===Speaking with Namingway===
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Let us begin the tour here at camp and work our way out of the grotto!

'''System:''' You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
'''System:''' Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Come along, [Forename]. Places to go, designations to discuss!
> Part ways with Namingway.
'''System:''' Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Has something more pressing arisen? Nothing to be done, then. I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' No other commitments, I hope? Then let us resume the grand tour!
> Nothing.
---

-optional start
> Discuss phainoglass.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' That is no ordinary stained glass, but phainoglass, crafted from lustrous materials unique to this star.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it can endure shard showers without suffering a single scratch─all while converting light into energy!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Incredible, is it not? Phaenna's natural resources have proven tremendously valuable for their versatility!

> Discuss the lampmelt marble.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Our scholars theorize that long ago, a vein of hot molten glass carved out this cavern before being driven back by geothermal fluctuations.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' As the main flow receded, it left behind deposits of molten silicates, which hardened into the twisted shapes you see before you.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' For its resemblance to the glass produced by lampworkers, the substance shall henceforth be known as lampmelt marble! We've no shortage of outcroppings here, if you ever wish to take a closer look.
---
-optional end

===Speaking with Namingway near the Hangar===
-cutscene start
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' We were truly fortunate to find such an expansive formation to shelter us from Phaenna's harsh climate.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Curious, isn't it, that something as delicate as glass could become both deadly threat and stalwart shield?
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' This place puts me in mind of a gaffer's work─a vessel bespeaking both beauty and strength. That's why I call it the “Glassblown Grotto,” you see.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' And within, the primordial flame around which we gather to sculpt our own marvels...however fragile the works of man and Loporrit might be. A Glassblowers' Beacon.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' ...But this is far from the only spectacle our Phaenna has to offer. Let us venture westward, to that most ponderous of streams!
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Namingway at the Soda-lime Float===
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' This translucent blue stream is the Soda-lime Float, flowing ever so slowly southward through Millefiori.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Despite the appetizing name, however, I cannot recommend drinking from it! In terms of chemical composition, the “water” is itself essentially glass.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Similarly, should you try to consume its fish, you shall find yourself with naught but a plate of glass pescatore! These impostors─“impesctors,” if you will─are in fact silicate globules animated by the dense aether flowing beneath.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' As a matter of fact, we have yet to discover any true “animals” on this star─only golems and other arcane entities.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The impesctors themselves are difficult to categorize with confidence. Are they spirits? Elementals? Their very existence is a reminder of the vastness of nature, and the finity of our own understanding.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' ...And those were merely the ''easy'' names! Next, I say we heat things up. Southward ho!

===Speaking with namingway at the Fusingway Vent===
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Behold the onyx ridge rising high above the fluorescent expanse: Fusingway Vent!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The heat in this area is sufficient to melt glass, as the abundance of silicate magma attests. Hence the name.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Temperatures fluctuate in the crater, and it is perfectly common for liquid magma to emerge from an apparently cooled crust. Do watch where you step─I should hate to see you lose your favorite boots. Or your favorite feet, for that matter.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Jokes aside, I do hope you're enjoying the tour thus far, [Forename]. Our next stop offers the most spectacular scenery of all!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Onward to my favorite place on Phaenna: the Iridized Rise. Come, come─there is shining, shimmering splendor to behold!

===Sightseeing Event at the Iridized Rise===
'''System:''' The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Observe the view from the Iridized Rise? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The view is magnificent, you must concede. And replete with features ripe for the naming, besides!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Naturally, I have given great thought to the term for each and every sight before you. You needn't hesitate to ask.

> Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Onward to my favorite place on Phaenna: the Iridized Rise. Come, come─there is shining, shimmering splendor to behold!

> Iridescent Terrain
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Isn't it breathtaking how the staircase of color descends from here? It is precisely that rainbow from which the Iridized Rise derives its title!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Our scholars estimate that this region was once home to a string of small ponds, each filled with liquid glass. As temperatures fell, they gradually solidified.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Incidentally, the different colors would seem to indicate variations in the sediment between individual ponds. Ah, bliss! We Loporrits do so love our rainbows!

> Spiky Crystalline Tree
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Just as we have yet to discover creatures here that fall within our common definitions, so do Phaenna's flora seem, to our eyes, to exist just outside our understanding of what constitutes plant life.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The distempered oak is one such species. Its explosive spikes do convert sunlight into energy, albeit through processes we have not yet begun to fathom.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' We know still less about how said spikes form. Is there some significance as to their being both branch and leaf? We must assume there is some connection to the tree's uniquely harrowing environment!

> Seemingly Glassblown Bloom
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Has the faceted grass caught your eye?
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' On Etheirys, it's unheard of for naturally occurring crystals to take identical shapes, but these “plants” defy conventional wisdom.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Our Sharlayan scholars posit that it's an effect of the star's unique aetherial properties. The topic has sparked a lively debate within the fields of botany and aetherology!

> Flowery Shrub
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Ah, I see you're appreciating the flowers of the myrrhine. Is it not lovely how the delicate petals almost resemble lace?
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' At a glance, one would surely think them handcrafted, but I assure you, each bloom has pollen and seeds like any other species.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' How, then, do they reproduce without the assistance of animals? We can only assume the poor dears are entirely dependent upon strong gusts of wind.

> Tree with Purple Canopy
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Rather resembles a fungus from Weddingway's Bower, doesn't it? But it is in fact a tree...after a fashion.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' It would perhaps be a cousin of the acacia, were it not made of a glass plate atop glass cane. Thus have I termed it the “display acanecia.”
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Our naturalists believe this unique shape may have evolved as a means to protect its soft, malleable bark from shard showers...but research is still ongoing!
---
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Have you taken in all the sights, [Forename]? If not, you're more than welcome to linger a little longer.

Question: What will you say?

> The splendor has been most thoroughly beheld.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A little longer, then.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Certainly, my friend. We needn't depart until you're satisfied with the scenery.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The best part of exploring foreign stars is finding these spectacular vistas! I take it you've had your fill?
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---
[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Question: What will you say?

> Thank you. I feel enriched indeed.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> Perhaps just a ''little'' more...
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' And I'm delighted that it has. Why, your keen eyes alit upon all of my newly designated little darlings!
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' You know, [Forename]...I expected the sea of stars to have no shortage of novelties, but I never dreamed our first destination would be so very unlike Etheirys.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Here on Phaenna, something so mundane as ''glass'' has the power to surprise us, each new discovery more intriguing than the last.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' My mind fills with questions: whence came the strange shapes? The colors? The sounds? Why these, and none other?
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Glimpses of a design so grand I will never see the whole of it, even with a lifespan as lengthy as mine own.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' But someday, somehow, someone will know the shape of it! They'll follow in our footsteps, cradling the fragile things we leave behind.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' The more time I spend on Phaenna, the more I feel that this is the path Hydaelyn wished for Her children to walk.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' In the end, you and I may take but one small step...but the journey doesn't belong to us alone.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' ...Ah, but perhaps we should chart a course back to Searchingway before aught else. We have kept him waiting long enough!
[End of the escorting section.]
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Searchingway at Glassblower's Grotto===
-optional start
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Another splendid tour in the books. You simply ''must'' recount it in detail for Searchingway posthaste!
-optional end

'''Searchingway:''' Welcome back, you two. Did you have a long and riveting discussion about Phaenna's geography?

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Oh, it was positively scintillating! Together, we ruminated on the many glass-based discoveries the team has made thus far!

'''Searchingway:''' Glad to hear it. Yet I daresay your tour isn't complete without a visit to our crowning achievement...

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Our crowning achievement... Does that mean─!?

'''Searchingway:''' Indeed it does. Presenting...the Phaenna Stellascope!

-cutscene start
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' It's even grander than the Observatorium in Coerthas...

'''Searchingway:''' Using the Stellascope, we've already sighted several more stars possessed of aether in abundance. Stars I can show you right now!
'''Searchingway:''' Let me just press a few buttons here...

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Stunning─nay, stupendous!

'''Searchingway:''' Each glimmer you see here contains myriad possibilities...and we're going to explore them to the last!

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Phaenna is breathtaking enough─I can scarcely imagine what else is out there waiting for us!

'''Searchingway:''' We won't know without further analysis, but if there's a celestial current strong enough, we may yet find new life...new civilizations!
'''Searchingway:''' Granted...I've heard the stories. Of Meteion's journey, and the many stars she watched fall to despair.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Yes, I myself learned of it not long after we were first brought into the initiative. A most lamentable tale.
'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' You were there at the “edge of existence,” were you not, [Forename]? Pray tell, what precisely did you see?

Question: What will you say?

> Memories of the long dead.
'''Searchingway:''' The mere thought of it is heartrending.
> Ruin...and despair.
'''Searchingway:''' The mere thought of it is heartrending.
> A series of bizarre life-forms patronizing a café. Also, soup. ''[Requires progress in the [[Omicron Daily Quests]]]''
'''Searchingway:''' Oh, yes, Jammingway told me of the Last Dregs and its unusual patrons! And Elysion, where past and potential take form.
---

'''Searchingway:''' Well, regardless of what others have seen, I still wish to make the journey. To grieve what was lost, and find my own meaning in it.
'''Searchingway:''' And do we not owe it to our fellow life-forms to hold on to hope to the last? What if they ''are'' out there?
'''Searchingway:''' Suffice it to say, our research teams are already debating the merits of correspondence versus non-interference.

'''Namingway (NPC)@Namingway:''' Searching for sparks of hope amid the darkness of despair... How poetic!

'''Searchingway:''' You bet it is! So we're going to use the Stellascope to comb every ilm of the horizon in search of our next galactic foothold.
'''Searchingway:''' The ideal candidate will be cocooned in celestial currents and hospitable to more than just plant-ish things. With luck, that's where we'll find what we're searching for!
'''Searchingway:''' I'll be in touch once we've settled on the coordinates. Until then, there's work to be done!

Cosmic Exploration

2026-02-16T13:30:35Z

Echazarek: Cactuar cleared Cosmic exploration in second

[[File:Cosmic exploration banner img2.jpg|center|400px|link=https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/]]
{{quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_2/ Patch 7.2 Special Site]|Searchingway wants you to join the Cosmic Exploration Initiative! Research and develop cutting-edge artisan's tools, all the while furthering the team's preparations for a maiden voyage to stars yet uncharted!}}
{{Quotation|[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/ Official Website]|Adventurers in spaaace! Your curiosity and creativity will fuel a journey that's truly out of this world.}}
[[File:cosmic_exploration_icon1.png|link=|left|40px]] '''Cosmic Exploration''' is a "[[Lifestyle Content|lifestyle content]]" released in [[patch 7.21]] during the ''[[Dawntrail]]'' expansion. Similar to [[Ishgardian Restoration]], it is a content hub for [[Disciple of the Hand|crafter]]s and [[Disciple of the Land|gatherer]]s and contains [[server]]-wide [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ progression]. The level 100 series of Relic Tools: '''[[Cosmic Tools]]''', is tied to Cosmic Exploration.

Players are able to explore and develop locations in different planets by working with the [[Loporrits]]. New planets will be implemented with later patches. The first location is the Source's [[Sinus Ardorum|moon]], where the goal is to build a spaceship and an associated launch station to explore other planets. The second location is [[Phaenna]], the "glass star", an uninhabited planet with a pink, crystalline surface. The third planet will be [[Oizys]], a planet with shattered floating rock formations and home to a fallen civilization.

Cosmic Exploration allows players to level crafters and gatherers starting from level 10, in addition to providing a wide variety of challenging endgame crafting and gathering content. Unlike Ishgardian Restoration, Cosmic Exploration activities do not require players to procure outside crafting materials, including [[crystals]]. The only items players need to acquire externally are gear and consumables, the latter of which are more commonly used in advanced missions.

Cosmic Exploration rewards several cosmetic items, mounts, minions, achievements, and titles. In addition, players can spend Cosmic Exploration currency to obtain materia and some endgame crafting materials, the latter of which are normally only purchasable with [[scrips]], making it an alternative to scrip farming.

Zones consist of a base camp and an exterior area for missions. Players may only enter cosmic exploration zones in their home world, and development of each planet is world-specific. Depending on world population, zones may be split into multiple instances, but there is no duty time limit. Players can queue for [[Duty Finder]] or [[Party Finder]] while in a cosmic exploration zone.

Once unlocked, players can travel to Sinus Ardorum at any time by speaking with [[Drivingway]] in [[Mare Lamentorum]] {{coords|21.9,13.2}}. Players may return to Mare Lamentorum by speaking with Drivingway again in Sinus Ardorum {{coords|20.3,20.0}}. Upon unlocking subsequent zones, players may travel there by speaking with Drivingway in Mare Lamentorum {{coords|21.9,13.2}}, or by speaking with [[Cruisingway]] in those zones and selecting the planet as a destination.

Players may also directly travel to the newest zone available for exploration (currently Oizys) by interacting with the Bestways Burrow aetheryte and selecting the relevant option.

==Travel==
[[File:Cosmoliner.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The Cosmoliner in Sinus Ardorum. Step in the glowing portal with green arrows to quickly move to the next station.]]
In addition to [[mounts]], players have other means of quickly moving around the area. Flying on mounts is disabled.
*Upon reaching stage 3 with server-wide zone development in a zone, a "cosmoliner" fast travel system with stations at various locations will be added. Reaching this stage is very quick and is typically accomplished by all servers within a few hours of the game being live after a patch.
*Additional cosmoliner stations will be implemented as zone development progresses.
*Using the duty action {{Action icon|Stellar Return}} will teleport the player to the rainbow crystal in the middle of the base camp (Sinus Ardorum {{coords|21.4,21.4}}).
**Note that Stellar Return is a ''Duty Action''; using {{action icon|Return}} will function as normal (unlike {{action icon|Occult Return}} in {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent}}).
*While as a crafter or gatherer class, the action {{action icon|Stellar Sprint}} will replace {{action icon|Sprint}} on the hotbar. Using this action will toggle a 50% movement speed increase with no cooldown.
*When a mech ops mission is active, players wishing to participate as ground support can talk to [[Alerot]] to instantly move to the mission area.
*In [[Phaenna]] and [[Oizys]] during [[Red Alert]]s, player can talk to [[Lefleda]] to instantly teleport to either of the two critical mission locations. In [[patch 7.4]], Lefleda was retroactively added to [[Sinus Ardorum]] at {{coords|21.8,21.4}}.
*In patch 7.4, aetheryte shards were retroactively placed in Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna. They are located in [[Oizys]] on release, and more shards become availalbe as zone development progresses.

==Interface==
===Exotablet===
[[File:Exotablet.png|right|thumb|The Exotablet interface]]
The exotablet interface provides a list of options and tracks how much Cosmic Exploration currency the player has in the lower section. This is similar to the Islekeep's Index in [[Island Sanctuary]].

===Infrastructure Index===
{{main|Infrastructure Index}}
[[File:Infrastructure Index.png|300px|right|thumb|Infrastructure Index]]
Shows the current status of zone development in the player's current zone. Development of each zone is world-specific, and progress for all worlds can be tracked in the official [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/cosmic_exploration/report/ Cosmic Exploration Report] site. There is a minimum progress rate that will apply for low contribution, which ensures that low-activity worlds do not fall too far behind in progress. Because of this, all worlds are guaranteed to have fully developed zones prior to the release of the next major patch containing the next zone.

By completing stellar missions, progress will increase. Once the progress gauge has been filled and the respective project completed, zone development will proceed to the next stage.

As zone development proceeds, new types of stellar missions will be added alongside different facilities, such as the Cosmoliner, a means of speedy transportation. At certain stages of development, new areas of the map will also be made available.

==Missions==
{{main|Stellar Missions}}
[[File:Cosmic Missions.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Missions Menu]]
For a list of missions, please see [[Stellar Missions#List of missions|here]].

===Stellar Missions===
Stellar missions are requests issued to procure necessary materials for cosmic exploration and are the primary form of content.

Players may accept stellar missions via the exotablet. Completion of stellar missions increases overall progress and unlocks more advanced stellar missions. Missions are scored by three ranks: gold, silver, and bronze. Obtaining a higher score will result in greater returns, with silver yielding 4 times the base rewards and gold yielding 5 times the base rewards.

Furthermore, stellar missions are [[Quest Sync|quest synced]], ensuring that rewards and difficulty level are distributed appropriately given a player's current level.
*Quest syncing allows stellar missions to be a viable source of leveling from 10 to 100.
*Upon reaching certain level thresholds, the [[item level]] recommendation for the quests will increase, and players may need to obtain [[Leveling_Gear_Guide#Crafting_and_Gathering|stronger gear]] to compensate. The NPC [[Godgyth]] sells normal quality gear suitable for leveling.
*Many missions available at level 100 (rank A EX and EX+ missions) are substantially more difficult than lower ranked missions and are intended as endgame content. To obtain maximal rewards, players will need to equip the latest {{HQ}} [[Level 100 Gear Guide#Crafting and Gathering|endgame gear]] melded with [[materia]]. Some A-rank crafting-related missions require {{ExpertRecipe}} [[Expert Recipes|Expert Crafting]] while others require two specific classes: one gatherer to procure items and one crafter to craft products using those items.

After initiating a stellar mission, the following features can be accessed from the Mission in Progress widget:
[[File:Cosmic Mission in Progress.png|Mission in Progress widget|300px|right|thumb]]

*'''Cosmopouch''': The cosmopouch is an exclusive inventory reserved for supplies, crafted items, and gathered materials used in cosmic exploration. These items are mission-specific and are lost upon the end of the mission. They also do not have flavor text.
*'''Cosmic Crafting Log''': The cosmic crafting log enables Disciples of the Hand to craft items for stellar missions. Only recipe(s) relevant to the current mission are viewable.
*'''Stellar Reduction''': Stellar Reduction enables Disciples of the Land to [[Aetherial Reduction|aetherially reduce]] items for stellar missions.

Alongside basic missions exist provisional missions and critical missions. Completing the latter two will yield greater rewards than basic missions.

===Provisional Missions===
Provisional Missions have restrictions on their availability compared to basic missions.

*'''Sequential Missions''': These missions will become available after completing certain stellar missions with a gold star rank. Sequential missions are created from a variety of missions, and completing them with the highest score possible will cause more to appear. Failing or abandoning a sequential mission will require the player to complete the prerequisite mission again for another attempt.
*'''Weather-restricted Missions/Time-restricted Missions''': These missions are available during certain times or weather conditions. Time and weather are shared between all servers (excluding special weathers in Red Alert windows; see next section).

===Critical Missions===
{{main|Red Alert}}
[[File:Red Alert UI.png|300px|thumb|right|Red Alert UI]]
Critical missions become available during red alerts, which are indicated by special weather conditions. These 20-minute weather windows are not part of the normal weather, cannot easily be predicted, and are '''specific per world'''.

When a red alert is issued, two gauges will appear at the top of the screen to symbolize progress made for the classes in current demand. Two regions will be marked on the map, each of which contain mission locations for separate classes.

Players may complete critical missions for the designated classes as many times as they choose, earning greater rewards than normal. Each time a critical mission is completed, the respective alert gauge will increase. By cooperating with other players, both gauges may be filled within the time limit, resolving the red alert and granting bonus rewards for all who contributed.

If both gauges are not filled within the allotted time, fewer bonus rewards will be distributed to contributors.

==Mech Ops==
{{main|Mech Ops}}
[[File:Mech Ops Screenshot.png|300px|thumb|right|Mech Ops]]
'''Mech Ops''' are [[FATE]]-like, large-scale directives issued in Cosmic Exploration zones that make use of special mechs to complete objectives at designated intervals. A mech op will spawn every 20 real-life minutes, and the available mech op in a zone will alternate. There are two mech ops in each zone. If a [[Red Alert]] spawns during the cooldown period, the mech op spawn schedule will be put on hold until the Red Alert concludes.

Players may participate as either pilots or ground support. These FATE-like events do not involve crafting, gathering, or combat. Rather, players are tasked to interact with various objects using special actions that are made available for each mech op. Each mech op has a 10 minute time limit.

{{#lst:Cosmic Exploration FATEs|main}}

==Stellar Successes==
[[File:Stellar Successes.png|300px|right|thumb|Stellar Successes UI]]
{{main|Stellar Successes}}
Stellar successes are objectives in Cosmic Exploration that function similarly to the [[Challenge Log]].

Daily Successes are reset daily, whereas Standard Successes are one-time objectives that incorporate all contributions made to cosmic exploration. By completing these successes, players can earn rewards cosmocredits, zone-specific credits, and research data for [[Cosmic Tool]] upgrades. There is a different set of Standard Successes per zone.

You can confirm your current successes via the exotablet.

==Reward types==
Cosmic exploration activities will all yield currencies and other numerical rewards exclusive to cosmic exploration.

===Currencies===
===={{cex|cosmocredit}} [[Cosmocredit]]s====
Players may exchange cosmocredits for gear, furnishings, and other items by speaking with [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}. This NPC also shows up in earlier zones with the same inventory for sale.

===={{cex|lunar credit}} {{cex|phaenna credit}} {{cex|oizys credit}} Zone-specific credits====
Zone-specific credits can only be earned and used in their respective zone. Players may exchange these for mech op pilot applications or use them to draw [[Cosmic Fortune|cosmic fortunes]].

{|class=wikitable
! Currency !! Zone !! Mech Op Pilot Applications !! Cosmic Fortunes
|-
| {{cex|lunar credit}} [[Lunar Credit]]s || [[Sinus Ardorum]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|22.4,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|21.8,21.1}}
|-
| {{cex|phaenna credit}} [[Phaenna Credit]]s || [[Phaenna]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|27.8,20.3}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|28.6,12.7}}
|-
| {{cex|oizys credit}} [[Oizys Credit]]s || [[Oizys]] || [[Alerot]] {{coords|17.5, 23.8}} || [[Orbitingway]] {{coords|18.2, 24.5}}
|}

====Exploration Tokens====
{{item icon|Phaenna Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmoboard (Mount)}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Phaenna Token Booklet}}, of which 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Phaenna {{coords|8.6,13.5}}.

{{item icon|Oizys Exploration Token}}s can be indirectly exchanged for the {{item icon|Cosmic Armored Weapon}} mount. Specifically, 100 tokens can be exchanged for a {{item icon|Oizys Token Booklet}}, of which 60 booklets can then be exchanged for the mount. Therefore, players need 6,000 tokens for the mount. All transactions are through [[Mesouaidonque]] in Oizys {{coords|17.4, 24.5}}.

These tokens are awarded upon the completion of EX+ stellar missions in the respective planet. Both the tokens themselves, the token booklets, and the mount available for exchange can be sold via the market board.

====Dronebits====
Dronebits are a reward available only on Oizys.

# Increase your gold count by undertaking class A missions, including those designated as EX or EX+, or provisional missions to receive dronebits as a reward.
# Once you have collected enough dronebits, you may exchange them for drone modules by speaking with [[Kaede]] on Oizys {{coords|17.3, 24.1}}.
# Drone modules can be used to analyze the area via reconnaissance drone and locate artifacts, which will be displayed on the map.
# Examine artifacts on the field to obtain unappraised ancient records.
# Speak with Kaede to appraise your findings.

===Cosmic Tool Data===
Class-specific cosmic tool data is needed to upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]]. As of [[patch 7.41]], there are six types of data, and greater quantities and qualities (types) of data are needed for later upgrade stages. Players cannot earn higher qualities of data until they have sufficiently upgraded the weapon for the respective class.

===Cosmic Class Points===
Cosmic Class Points are class-specific scoring systems similar to skyward score points from [[Ishgardian Restoration]]. Players will earn exclusive [[Cosmic Exploration#Achievements|achievements]] and titles upon accruing sufficient cosmic class points for each class. They can view their current scores from an option on the exotablet interface.

===Contribution===
Contribution is used only for [[Cosmic Exploration#Star Contributor Awards|Star Contributor Award]] determination during ranking periods.

During a ranking period, when a player completes an activity that rewards contribution in the most recent cosmic exploration zone, they will be given a qualitative ranking of how much contribution they earned. From smallest to largest, the contribution tiers are:
*Modest
*Respectable
*Generous
*Sizeable
*Immeasurable

It is not possible to view the player's exact numerical contribution value, but talking to [[Scanningway]] will provide their rough contribution percentile during a ranking period.

†Some Standard (non-repeatable) Stellar Successes award Type I Data. Daily (repeatable) Stellar Successes do not award any Cosmic Tool Data.

General advice for optimization of cosmic class points and contribution scores can be found on the [https://www.icy-veins.com/ffxiv/cosmic-exploration#crafting-and-gathering-advice-for-missions-and-scoring Icy Veins guide] for Cosmic Exploration.

==Cosmic Fortunes==
[[File:cosmic fortune1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Fortune UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Fortune}}
Similar to the [[Kupo of Fortune]] in the Ishgardian Restoration, cosmic fortunes are games of chance that grant a variety of items as prizes. Each zone has its own cosmic fortune reward pool.

Players may exchange zone-specific credits to draw cosmic fortunes by speaking with [[Orbitingway]] in the zone. Players may pick between two roulettes with differing prizes.

Additionally, a special roulette exists for those in possession of [[Big Bang Ticket]]s earned from piloting during a mech op.

==Star Contributor Awards==
[[File:Star Contributor Holograms.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor holograms]]
[[File:Star Contributor effect.png|300px|right|thumb|Star Contributor graphical effect]]
The player with the highest contribution score in their [[servers|world]] at the end of any given ranking period ''in the most recent cosmic exploration area'' will be celebrated as a "Star Contributor." Players cannot earn contribution in earlier areas.

===Calculating Player Contributions===
Ranking periods become active or inactive every twenty-four hours, and reset daily at 18:00 JST / 2:00 PDT / 9:00 GMT / 20:00 AEDT.

During active ranking periods, players' total contributions from stellar missions, mech ops, and FATEs will be tallied. Players can check their current standing by speaking with [[Scanningway]] in Oizys {{coords|18.2, 23.8}}. This NPC only provides a rough percentile of the player's contribution - '''they will not be told their exact value'''. The highest percentile that Scanningway will reveal is the top 10%, so players will not know if they are currently in the lead for Star Contributor in their world.

When a new ranking period begins, all players' contribution will be set to zero, so it is not possible to carry over contribution from a previous ranking period or obtain contribution outside of one.

===Commendation===
Star Contributors will be honored for 14 real-life days in the following ways:
*A hologram of the player will be displayed on Oizys {{coords|18.2,23.8}}.
**This hologram will snapshot the player's outfit from the ranking period when they qualified. The outfit cannot be changed once set.
*The player's name will be displayed on the [[Starward Standing Stela|starward standings stela]] on Oizys {{coords|18.2,24.0}}.
**Clicking a player's name on the stela will display a close-up view of their hologram. If a player is viewing their own hologram, then they can choose which idle pose it will use.
*A special visual effect will be applied to the character in cosmic exploration areas. They can click off this buff if they do not want it displayed.

Players who receive Star Contributor will be ineligible to receive it again for 14 days.

In contrast to the limited-time ranking titles in Ishgardian Restoration, Star Contributor is a permanent competitive feature to prevent "fear of missing out". '''There are no achievements, titles, or item rewards tied to Star Contributor.'''

==Cosmic Tools==
[[File:Cosmic Tools upgrading.png|300px|right|thumb|Cosmic Tools UI]]
{{main|Cosmic Tools}}
By completing Stellar Missions and certain one-time Stellar Successes, players will be able to accrue research data and upgrade [[Cosmic Tools]], the level 100 Relic Tool series that start at level 10.

*{{patch|7.21|Added. (Sinus Ardorum is the first zone implemented.)}}

==Trivia==
* The English localization frequently uses an [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/star#Noun archaic astrological meaning] of the word "star" to refer to ''planets'' such as [[Phaenna]].<ref>Neither the Japanese, nor the French and German localizations do this. [https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/dawntrail/patch_7_3/ Patch 7.3 Special Site (JP)] where [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%83%91%E6%98%9F 惑星] = planet</ref>

{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
Theorizingway: Ah, if it isn't young ''Forename''. Naturally, my sharp ears have caught wind of your many academic achievements back in Sharlayan.
Theorizingway: ...Who am I? Why, ''I'' am the great thinker Theorizingway! More pursuant to our purposes today, I am the designated liaison between our initiative and the Studium.
Theorizingway: And─given that we've been poaching their staff─I've taken it upon myself to lend my incredible intellect to their research wheresoever I'm able.
Theorizingway: As it happens, today I'm to welcome a select few gifted scholars who wish to take part in our little project. Would you care to receive them with me?

Qih Aliapoh: ''Forename''! I hoped we would see you here.
Qih Aliapoh: After all, it was your words during the assembly at Aporia that led us down the path of interstellar exploration.
Qih Aliapoh: And now, at Searchingway's invitation, we're here to help the project grow.
Qih Aliapoh: Regrettably, the Studium exam schedule wouldn't permit ''everyone'' to attend today, but I managed to abscond with these two!

Debroye: As you might expect, I've been up to my elbows in dough since last we met. There are yet improvements to Mervynbread to be made, I'm certain of it!
Debroye: I hear the crew members here eat a lot of Archon loaf, so I thought I'd come and hand out samples for a comparative study...

T'laqa Tia: But how fare you, my friend? You went to the farthest reaches of the realm for my research, and now here you are, exploring the stars beyond!
T'laqa Tia: I'm lucky my work inadvertently led to a treatment for aether sickness. I'd rather not describe the visions I saw on the voyage here...
T'laqa Tia: Still, a trip like this is well worth the misery, for I'm most intrigued by the correlation between stars and stellar currents...and poor Oizys's plight besides.

Qih Aliapoh: I'd like to take these two on a tour of the initiative's newest base of operations, that they might witness the fruits of their research directly.

Theorizingway: Thanks to my tremendous forethought, all is in readiness, my dear. You may show them around as you see fit.
Theorizingway: And who better to give an overview of the latest developments than ''Forename Surname'' herself/himself?
Theorizingway: Do calm yourself. You need only chaperone their field trip and answer whatever questions they may have.

Debroye: I should be delighted to hear about the project from the perspective of one so intimately familiar with our own work.

Qih Aliapoh: We'll begin with a look at the culinary offerings of Terra Firma. Please join us!

Theorizingway: Any simpleton can walk around Terra Firma and explain things to our visitors. It hardly calls for my genius.

Qih Aliapoh: Given the limiting factors on what can be brought out here, the food supply must want for variety. The crew will doubtless appreciate Debroye's hard work!

T'laqa Tia: Not only must it resist spoilage on the journey, the food must be fitting for its new environs as well.

RESEACHER05453A: Well, it looks normal enough... Mmmfg!?

RESEACHER05453B: ''This'' is what they're researching in Sharlayan...?

Debroye: Did you know that each and every recipe offered here was approved by our very own Faculty of Medicine?
Debroye: And I've just asked these kind volunteers to sample my latest iteration of Mervynbread.

RESEACHER05453A: It's so light and fluffy, I can scarcely believe it has the same nutritional value as Archon loaf!

RESEACHER05453B: Despite our best efforts, feeding the crew is a major challenge. Harvests from other stars undergo laborious quality checks, and even then, supply is short.
RESEACHER05453B: We try to import more than Archon loaf, but our daily offerings are woefully limited... Mervynbread would certainly make a welcome addition.

Debroye: I'm pleased to hear it! This is precisely the sort of problem that I hoped to solve with my research.
Debroye: Yet there remain logistical issues. Professor Galveroche helped to streamline production considerably, but to bring so many loaves here...
Debroye: Have you any insight, ''Forename''?

Question: What will you say?

> We could produce it locally through stellar missions.
> Add preservatives and hope for the best?
---

Debroye: Of course! The initiative has its share of culinarians. With their help, preparing it on-site would be a trifle.
Debroye: We could certainly ship greater quantities produced on Etheirys had we no need of cold storage, even for long periods... I shall look into an appropriate stabilizer.
Debroye: This has been a valuable excursion. Already I have such splendid ideas for the furtherance of Mervynbread...
Debroye: Oh, and by all means, help yourselves to the rest of the samples!

Qih Aliapoh: I knew Debroye's research would prove useful here. Next, let's descend into Desert Burrow, where the principles of aetherology are being put to the test!

Theorizingway: I hear the Studium visitors are headed to the ruins of Desert Burrow. I doubt their questions will prove too difficult for you.

RESEACHER05453A: Oh, I can't wait to eat more of that Mervynbread... In fact, I shan't!

RESEACHER05453B: It means a lot that there are people all the way back on Etheirys trying to help us here on Oizys.

Debroye: How long have these ruins been here? And in such pristine condition...

Qih Aliapoh: The ruins of an unknown civilization, buried under a wasteland... Why, any scholar would swoon at the sound of it!

T'laqa Tia: I read of this place, but no report could possibly convey what it is to stand here and see it for oneself...
T'laqa Tia: The structures would be an architectural feat regardless, but that the stone devices within are capable of access control and data storage...it almost beggars belief.
T'laqa Tia: The Faculty of Aetherology helped to analyze the mineral samples, you know. They have compositions the likes of which we've never seen.
T'laqa Tia: Every indication points to their having once been fossilized plant matter, but that would call the very foundations of aetherology into question.
T'laqa Tia: Furthermore, our own command of aether allows us to elicit only a fraction of the response this material would have given the better-attuned Voyagers. Now that they're gone, we may never know the truth of it...

Question: What will you say?

> I'm sure you can figure it out.
> We'll solve the mystery ere long.
---

T'laqa Tia: I'll find the answers myself, if that's what it takes. This interstellar research leads one to the strangest places, doesn't it?
T'laqa Tia: We intend to see more of Oizys, but you needn't spend any more of your valuable time escorting us. We'll be certain to check in with Theorizingway ahead of departure so that you know we haven't fallen into a gravity well.
T'laqa Tia: May as well make the most of the trip, eh? You can tell Theorizingway we won't leave without saying good-bye.

Debroye: We study the phases of aether in the Faculty of Medicine as well, but I'm always keen to hear a professor's perspective.

Qih Aliapoh: I cannot imagine how a scholar must feel, to gaze upon such a sight. It's astounding to me, and I'm merely an administrator!

Theorizingway: Welcome back, young ''Forename''. I take it our Studium visitors are still enjoying the sights?
Theorizingway: Ah, if it isn't our esteemed guests! Tell me, how did you find Oizys?

T'laqa Tia: Utterly fascinating! A hundred times more so than words can convey.
T'laqa Tia: The sheer scale of the ruins, for instance. How did the Voyagers use their technology, that they saw fit to place their devices across such great distance?
T'laqa Tia: At any rate, my research will be much improved now that I have a proper frame of reference.

Debroye: Likewise, it's heartening to have spoken with the very people who need Mervynbread most!

Theorizingway: Then your field trip was a smashing success! Quite as I anticipated.
Theorizingway: Scholastic research and the spirit of exploration make for a fraught marriage at times, but there is naught with greater potential.
Theorizingway: With the Studium and the initiative working hand in paw, we─some of my dafter fellows excluded─can achieve true greatness in the field of interstellar studies!

T'laqa Tia: Speaking of greatness, must you always play the part of the humble assistant? Your many talents are no secret to us, you realize.

Question: What will you say?

> I'm always happy to help with such fascinating research.
> What can I say? I like to work with my hands.
> I wanted to try the new Mervynbread...
---

Debroye: Well, I believe I speak for us all when I say that it's always a pleasure to collaborate with you, be we together or stars apart!

T'laqa Tia: Just so. Never forget that we're with you every step of the way.

Debroye: Oh my! Then I had better make sure the next batch is up to snuff!

T'laqa Tia: We may consider yours the most vital mission of all. Without a tempting morsel to hand, it is far too easy to forget to eat when engrossed in one's work...
T'laqa Tia: And rest assured that those absent today are just as dedicated to the cause. Their work will call them to visit sooner or later.

Debroye: But you'll be on to the next star by then, won't you, ''Forename''? I do hope we can meet you there!

Qih Aliapoh: Don't be a stranger!

SEARCHINGWAY: Well, aren't you three a sight for sore eyes! Welcome to Oizys, my friends!

Qih Aliapoh: Searchingway! I'm so pleased you came to see us!

SEARCHINGWAY: Why wouldn't I? You are no less a part of this project than I am!

Qih Aliapoh: I'm honored to hear you say so! And come to think of it, I never did get to rub those ears...

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!
-quest accepted
-cutscene end

-optional start
Searchingway: Namingway does so love to cart you around like one of his many, many dictionaries. <chuckle>
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.
---

-optional start
> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.
---
-optional end

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]
---

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

-cutscene end

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Each and every discovery shall receive my very best─whether I am giving it its first name or its hundredth!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That's all I need to be able to look upon my contributions with pride.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Oh, but I'm rambling, aren't I? And we've kept Searchingway waiting once again!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What a journey that was─as Searchingway himself will doubtless agree, romantic that he is!
-optional end

Searchingway: The touring duo returns! Did Namingway get the chance to recount his naming escapades here on Oizys?

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Indeed, together we scoured the land for all of its most tragically beautiful vistas!

Searchingway: Excellent! While you were away, I received reports that significant progress has been made in restoring the Euhedron.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron! Pray tell, what have they discovered?

Searchingway: Good question. Dylise is on-site as we speak─what say we go and find out?

-cutscene start
Dylise: Your timing is impeccable, for the data transfer from Desert Burrow has just concluded. If all goes to plan, we'll gain control of this thing any moment.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: What is the meaning of this...swirly, sparkly spectacle? Is it some sort of record the Voyagers left behind?

Searchingway: Strange... This pattern of lights resembles the layout of star system RG-4.
Searchingway: In which case, the curved line would suggest a trajectory...
Searchingway: Could this be a navigational chart─one designed for using each star's orbital plane as a means of acceleration?

Dylise: We have evidence enough of the Voyagers' prowess with gravitational magicks to place it firmly within the realm of probability. Which ''could'' mean...
Dylise: The Voyagers left this star of their own volition!

Searchingway: Perhaps. But...
Searchingway: By the look of these coordinates, their starship must have departed at high velocity.
Searchingway: And to achieve this flight path with gravitational magicks would necessitate a spell of considerable scale for even the smallest vessel.
Searchingway: Were they to repeat that process to facilitate regular travel, gravity of the very star would suffer for it...would it not?

Dylise: ...It's a stronger theory than aught the research team has managed to come up with.
Dylise: I'll see who I can recruit for further analysis of this data.

Searchingway: The Phaenna observation team ought to hear of this, too. They may be able to work out precisely where the Voyagers were headed!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Then...we're going after them!?

Searchingway: You bet your carrots we're going after them! If we can make contact with their descendants, it will be the initiative's greatest hop yet!
Searchingway: For that reason, I'll have the whole crew pivot to data analysis. As soon as we have our next coordinates, you'll be the first to know.
Searchingway: Because when the time comes, I want you both on board with me!

==Steps==
* Speak with Namingway and have him accompany you.
* Speak with Namingway at Terra Firma while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway near the Shielding Wall while he is accompanying you.
* Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor while he is accompanying you.
* Observe from the designated vantage point while accompanied by Namingway.
* Speak with Searchingway.
==Journal==
* Having come this far, Searchingway is confident that nothing can bring the initiative down.
* As you and Searchingway are chatting about your experience on Oizys, Namingway returns, having concluded his newly expanded duties. He invites you to join him on another enlightening stroll to learn more of the nomenclature that he has chosen to bestow upon this gravity-torn star.
* As ever, your tour is to begin with the initiative's base of operations─in this case, Terra Firma. To that end, the two of you will require an unobstructed view of its imposing structure. ※You must be accompanied by Namingway to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Accompanied by Namingway, you observe the greater Megalithopolis, cradled by towering stone. There, he shares his initial fear of being unable to create appellations of equal significance to those that would have once been used on the star─as well as his newfound philosophy that each name has its time and place, and one need not necessarily supplant or belie any others.
* The second stop on Namingway's tour features a pair of impressive stone protrusions. To the west is the Shielding Wall, named for the way it is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and nearby gravity sphere. To the east, however, is the Falsifying Wall, which shields nothing but empty wasteland despite its grandiose appearance. Your next destination is promised to be more captivating still...
* The Unmoored Anchor, as Namingway explains it, was named for its metaphorical relationship to Shadefleet rather than any real physical resemblance, this connection created through the use of the newly constructed gravitational generators. Beyond it to the south stretches a striking view of the Magnetic Horizon, which flouts Oizys's anomalous gravity by sheer magnetic force.
* Speaking of gravitational anomalies, stepping into Shadefleet grants you a frighteningly close look at the nearest specimen. Everything from the trees to the very earth has been warped by its influence, but there remain glimpses of a potentially promising future for Oizys. While Namingway cannot but dwell on the past once more, his regrets only become greater motivation to craft monikers with the utmost care.
* Upon your return to the Megalithopolis, Searchingway excitedly informs you of the latest report: the Euhedron is set to be restored in short order. Eager to learn what answers it holds, the three of you hurry into Terra Firma, where you find Dylise wrestling with the terminal. When it finally activates, it displays a strange holographic projection that resembles a navigational chart. Skilled as they were at gravitational magicks, could it be that the Voyagers' repeated interstellar departures were the cause of Oizys's corruption? And if they did leave the star ere its destruction, where did they go?

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Searchingway: ''Forename''! You've explored Oizys to your liking, then? Or perhaps more, what with the spontaneous gravity shifts...

Question: What will you say?

> I've been up and down all over the place!
> Alas, I've been holding fast to my work tools, lest they float away.
Searchingway: You've contributed a great deal, both to Terra Firma and the expedition front, and I couldn't be more grateful. We've accomplished so much together!
---

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Hello again, my friends! I am pleased to report that appellations have been assigned to most everything─and with nary a gravitational mishap besides!

Searchingway: Fantastic work as always, Namingway. With each new star we reach, your nuanced nomenclature becomes ever more essential to the initiative!

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I truly had my work cut out for me this time. Ruin after nameless ruin─and all built by a nameless culture! Naturally, this necessitated a novel approach.

Searchingway: Come to think of it, your nomenclature takes on a distinctive theme in each place we go. That must be terribly troublesome to accomplish.

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How sweet of you to notice! It is my fondest hope that everyone in the initiative comes to appreciate each star's unique characteristics, so I try to do my part to highlight them.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How about it, ''Forename''? Might you be interested to learn how I've chosen to characterize our dear, despoiled Oizys?

Searchingway: Knowing Namingway, he's been toiling in anticipation of this very opportunity. Go on, then, but try not to get too caught up!

===Speak with Namingway===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: If you're ready to begin today's terrific tour, we will begin with Terra Firma!

System: You must be accompanied by Namingway and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
System: Namingway has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.

[Beginning of escorting section.]

Question: What will you do?

> Small talk.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our strolls together are always such a delight!
> Part ways with Namingway.
System: Are you sure you wish to part ways with Namingway?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Duty calls you elsewhere, I suppose? Then I shall pass the time with Searchingway until your return.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Welcome back, ''Forename''! Now then, shall we?
> Nothing.

-optional start
> ''Discuss the rockhollow homes.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe that many Voyagers once made their homes here.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Quite literally, as each domicile appears to have been carved out of a single native boulder by arcane means. Thus, I call them rockhollow homes!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though they lie empty now, they still have much to tell us of their inhabitants...who may have been no taller than the people of Etheirys!

> ''Discuss the megalith marble.''

Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Do you recall the lampmelt marble we utilized on Phaenna? This new stone is in a similar vein─heh─but it was developed by our team expressly for Terra Firma!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It began with a question: why does much of the skyborne rock merely float in place? There had to be a natural counterbalance at play...and so we started digging.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The ore we found below can be used to shield against forces both gravitational and magnetic, so we ground it down to make the marble you see in the panels just there.

===Speak with Namingway near Terra Firma===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Our base of operations is nestled within the Megalithopolis─a once-great city of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Given that family dwellings are clustered here, as well as the largest ruins we've found, it must have been a vibrant, bustling community.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Granted, it had a different identity then...even wore a different countenance, back before the anomalies tore it asunder.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And how am I to describe a place I never knew? The moment Searchingway told us of this star, I feared that any name I could give it would always be inferior to its true one.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...That was arrogant. Of course I could never replace the name it once had. And who would ask me to?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Etheirys” isn't gone, no matter how time has changed the face of it. Yet many of you have never known any home but “Hydaelyn.” Neither truth makes the other less true.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: “Oizys” can mean something now. It doesn't need to do more than that. And if we one day come to know this star's other name, well...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It can have both! That has to be better than being labeled “RG 4-6,” at the very least.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us embark on a journey of appreciation for all that this star has to offer!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Shielding Wall===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Two towering stone projections reaching toward the firmament...almost as if to taunt nature itself.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how the Shielding Wall, to the west, is positioned directly between the Megalithopolis and the anomaly.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We believe this has kept the region's ruins comparatively undamaged. Hence the name.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: And now you know that we ourselves are protected by more than just the rainbow crystal's power!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: As for what lies beyond the Falsifying Wall to the east...nothing but wasteland. For that reason did I see fit to give it the name of a pretender!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Next, we shall pay a visit to what may well be the most captivating place on Oizys. I do hope you're excited, ''Forename''!
-cutscene end

===Speak with Namingway at the Unmoored Anchor===
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I call this mountain the Unmoored Anchor, though the resemblance is more metaphorical than physical.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: With a bit of help from our gravitational generators, it connects the stones of Shadefleet to more solid ground─despite being quite adrift itself!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Speaking of the sea, to the south sprawls the Magnetic Horizon. I assure you that ''that'' name is more than mere poetic license.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Only by grace of the waters' own magnetic properties do we find the sky less full of sea than it is of stone.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Can you imagine what would happen if a living Loporrit were to fall in!? ...On second thought, I shan't speculate.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Now, let us cross over to Shadefleet and get a closer look at this star's most fearsome feature...

===Sightseeing Event at Shadefleet===

System: The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.

Take in the view? (yes/no)
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Did you catch sight of Terra Firma growing smaller as we made our way up? It struck me that at this altitude, a sufficiently stiff breeze is as much of a danger as any anomaly...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: But put that from your mind for now. Tell me what else catches your eye!

>Namingway
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This view is what I shall always remember of Oizys.

>Shadefleet
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: These landmasses were once part of the lithosphere, but Oizys's own gravity hasn't the strength to contend with the anomaly's effects on them.
Namingway: Perhaps they would have been more easily tempted downward were they not riddled with striations of indigo, which has proven to be less dense than the surrounding stone... Or perhaps not. These details are better left to the mathematically inclined.
Namingway: In any case, similar ore is found all across Oizys─untouched, at that! The Voyagers seem to have had no use for it, despite its beauty.

>Ominous Anomaly
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The menacing orb you see before you is but one of the many gravitational anomalies that afflict Oizys.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: We know not how they came to be, but that the star's aether is in some way corrupted─a knot in the currents, mayhap.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Some have proposed using gravitational magicks to resolve the imbalance, but the finer points of this plan have yet to materialize.

>Twisted Tree
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Behold the crooked cedar, warped by gravity right down to the roots.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Evidently the anomalies fluctuate faintly. Hence, some branches are forced to grow toward the nearest sphere, while others are free to seek the sun.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: A few saplings will be exported to Etheirys to observe their growth under normal conditions. I expect they'll go straight up!

>Buoyant Tentacled Lump
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: That puffed-up plant is kiting poulp, named both for its resemblance to the noble octopus and its ability to remain gently aloft.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It floats in place, impervious to the whims of the gravity spheres, seemingly unaided by roots or vines. They call it a botanical marvel!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Yet there must be some unseen connection to the soil─a force still greater than aetheric corruption. Through scientific study, we intend to find it!

>Flowers in Full Bloom
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: See how those blooms share their splendors with the sun? That is why I call them solberyllia!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their lofty position has caused their leaves to grow larger than is typical, so that they now resemble petals in their own right.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Though Shadefleet's soil has few nutrients and limited capacity to retain water, these hardy plants have only become bigger and brighter... I do admire their spirit!

>Glowing Gems
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Have you spotted the yellow-green sparkle? That is Oizys jasper.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Like crystal, it has proven highly sensitive to aetheric stimuli. In fact, I hear it was expertly utilized in the restoration of Desert Burrow.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: The Euhedron at Terra Firma is made of this jasper as well. The Voyagers unearthed some truly spectacular specimens!
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...Is it not strange that we ourselves have only found it here in Shadefleet? Were all other veins depleted, or has it something to do with the anomaly nearby?

>Floating Fragments
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Recall you the impesctors and faux flora of Phaenna? These “pseudostones,” as I call them, are arguably of a similar nature.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Their idle midair posture rather calls to mind an earth sprite prior to its awakening.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: This star has yet to give rise to its own intelligent life...but mayhap one day it will spark from the faint power contained in these stones!
---
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Well? Have you made enough delightful discoveries about our dear Oizys, or do you need more time?

Question: What will you say?

> I have had my fullest fill of the delightful.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> A bit more time, perhaps.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Certainly! I shall wait warmly until such time as your curiosity is sated.
[Resumes the sightseeing event.]

[If the second option was selected (above, or for the following selection), this dialogue option will appear when selecting Namingway.]
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: It means a great deal to share this scenic view with you─greater still to know it resonates no less in your heart than mine. So, shall we bid good-bye to Shadefleet?
Question: What will you say?

> This has been wonderful, thank you.
[Ends the sightseeing event.]
> No, I can't bear to pull away just yet!

===After the Sightseeing Event===
-cutscene start
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I'm glad! For my part, I have dearly enjoyed this academic tour.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Navigating this star's treacherous terrain has given me much to think about, too. As before, my mind is drawn to the past...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Just as the people of Hydaelyn came to know the meaning of Etheirys, I should like to one day see Oizys as our predecessors knew her.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How I wish that the Voyagers were still here, that they might tell us not only their chosen nomenclature, but how it felt upon their tongues and in their hearts.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: I see now the opportunities I missed, wandering Etheirys those hundred years...
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: All that time, I worked from the shadows, speaking to but a scant few tenuous acquaintances. I was convinced that my means of study was superlative.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: How much more I could have learned, had I thought to know you through your own words?
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: ...But that time of solitary struggle is long past! As are the Final Days, owing to you and yours.
Namingway (NPC)@Namingway: Far more important is what I can achieve ''now''. I joined this initiative in pursuit of a new dream, and I intend to see it through.
