:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Raids]], [[Deep Dungeon]]s''
[[File:Variant Dungeon.png|25px|link=]] '''Variant and Criterion dungeons''' are a dungeon style first released on [[patch 6.25]]. After unlocking them, players can register using the ''V&C Dungeon Finder'' under "Duty" in the main menu. All variant and criterion dungeons have an [[item level]] sync, and it is not possible to complete these with an [[Unrestricted Party]] ("unsynced").

==Variant Dungeons==
[[File:Variant and Criterion Dungeons Map.png|thumb|Entrance Map Marker]]
Variant dungeons are level 90 dungeons intended for 1-4 players. They are normal (story mode) [[difficulty]] content. Enemy health will be adjusted depending on the number of players, there are no role restrictions, and players can change jobs to any other Lv. 90 Disciple of War or Magic (excluding [[Limited_Jobs|Limited Jobs]]) while the dungeon is in progress when out of combat. Note that changing jobs will result in a 30 second cooldown until the player can use actions. Players can register for Variant Dungeons solo, with a premade party, or use matchmaking. Matching is disabled by default. If the option is enabled, players will be matched to a party of four with no role restrictions.

The map has branching paths, and the progression route will change based on player actions or random events. Some boss mechanics will also vary depending on earlier player actions. The player(s) will be accompanied by an NPC who will provide dialogue and interact with the environment but not participate in combat.

Completing the dungeon in certain ways will add a lore entry to the V&C Dungeon Finder. These entries provide lore regarding the dungeon or hints to puzzles that can be completed to unlock additional entries or a secret boss. Completing all 12 entries in the dungeon will award the player with a mount.

===Variant Actions and Attribute Adjustments===
To allow for greater freedom of role choices, variant dungeons grant players the use of special variant actions. These actions mimic existing abilities such as {{action icon|Cure}} or {{action icon|Rampart}}. Moreover, certain attributes will also be adjusted to compensate for the disparity of strength between certain roles, alleviating the need for dedicated tanks, DPS, or healers.

Variant actions can be selected from the V&C Dungeon Finder window. Players may have up to two variant actions at any given time, and are free to change them at any time, even after entering the dungeon.
* Available variant actions will differ according to the player's role.

{{main|Variant Dungeons Quests}}
To unlock variant dungeons, complete {{questlink|main|Endwalker (Quest)}} followed by the quasi-quest {{questlink|feature|An Odd Job}} from [[Osmon]] in [[Old Sharlayan]] (X:11.9, Y:13.3). This will unlock additional quests (see table below) for each of the three variant dungeons. Each individual variant dungeon questline is independent and the dungeons may be completed in any order.

==Criterion Dungeons==
Criterion dungeons are visually similar to variant dungeons, but are of a [[difficulty]] comparable to [[extreme trial]]s or [[savage raids]]. They require a 4-player party composed of a tank, a healer, and 2 DPS. The map layout is fixed, and no NPCs accompany the players. Normal resurrection actions are disabled, but players are allowed to revive other party members with {{action icon|Variant Raise II}}, which is the only Variant Action available for this difficulty. Each party member may only use this action once, but it will be replenished upon completing an objective for the dungeon or if the party wipes.

Players can register for criterion dungeons with a fully premade party or use matchmaking. Players who enable this option will be matched into a party consisting of 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 melee DPS, and 1 physical ranged or magical ranged DPS. Additional matchmaking options (e.g., Practice vs. Duty Completion) exist and function similarly to [[Raid Finder]] matching settings. ''Note that in North American and European data centers, most players will use [[Party Finder]] to form groups for Criterion dungeons, similar to other high-end content. Matchmaking is only likely to be used when a dungeon is brand new.''

Regular enemies in criterion dungeons deal significantly more damage and require more strategic ways of engaging them than those in other dungeons. Bosses are similar in mechanical difficulty to extreme trials or savage raids but are shorter (5-6 minutes vs. 10-14 minutes). Similar to other high-difficulty content, each boss must be defeated in a certain time limit, or it will wipe the party with an enrage ability.

Completing a criterion dungeon rewards four dungeon-specific coins to each player when the treasure coffer at the end is opened. These can be exchanged for various combat materia, the [[orchestrion rolls|orchestrion roll]] of the dungeon's background music, and an exclusive [[mount]] (requires 100 coins). The mount also has a low chance to drop directly from the treasure coffer. Note that the mount can be sold on the [[Market Board]].

{| class="pve table"

===Party Composition Bonus===
Upon entering a criterion dungeon, party members will gain a bonus to damage dealt according to the composition of their party. The bonus increases with the number of jobs in your party that rely on actions that affect the entire party.

This bonus system is intended to compensate for the proportional decrease in utility of such actions as party size decreases.
* The effectiveness of the damage bonus will differ between roles.
* This bonus will only be applied to jobs and has no effect on classes.

For example, jobs such as {{BRD}} [[bard]] rely on increasing the damage dealt by their allies. In a light party of four players, their party buffs will only be half as effective in terms of overall party damage increase compared to a full 8-player party. To compensate, a damage increase will be applied to all other party members if a bard (or other jobs with party buffs) is in the party.

See [[Variant and Criterion Dungeons#External Links|External Links]] below for a spreadsheet with a full explanation.

===Unlock===
To unlock criterion dungeons, complete the corresponding variant dungeon and its associated quest, then speak with [[Osmon]] in [[Old Sharlayan]] (X:11.9 Y:13.3) as a level 90 Disciple of War or Magic.

==Criterion Dungeons (Savage)==
Savage criterion dungeons are of a [[difficulty]] comparable to some [[ultimate raids]]. They have additional rules to make them harder: Revive abilities are disabled completely and no variant actions may be used. If the party wipes, all enemies will respawn and players must restart from the beginning. Players who disconnect from the game will be incapacitated upon reconnecting to the dungeon. Matchmaking is unavailable for Savage Criterion dungeons. Players must have a premade party of four people to enter them.

Boss mechanics are identical to those in criterion dungeons, but all enemies have higher health. Bosses deal increased damage, and non-boss enemies deal significantly increased damage. Many AoE indicators from non-boss enemies that were present in easier difficulties are removed or significantly shortened, and being hit by these avoidable attacks will usually deal lethal damage.

Upon engaging the first enemy, a timer will begin, which can be seen next to the duty objectives. If the party does not complete the dungeon before the timer finishes, all enemies will receive the [[File:Sewer-dwelller icon1.png|link=]] '''Sewer-dweller''' or '''Powerful''' buff, greatly increasing their damage dealt while reducing their damage taken, which is essentially a dungeon-wide enrage. This timer will reset if the party wipes. Because of this global enrage, the party will need to budget their cooldowns considering the length of the dungeon. The duration of the dungeon and the degree of punishment for mistakes, make savage criterion dungeons closer to ultimate-difficulty.

The party composition bonus from criterion dungeons is applicable to the savage difficulty and functions identically.

Completing a savage criterion player rewards one manuscript item, which can be traded for various combat materia and unique glamour or furniture items, in addition to rewarding exclusive titles. In response to the poor material rewards of the first two dungeons, the {{item icon|Aloalo Manuscript}}s obtained from the third dungeon can be traded for {{item icon|Elevated Ester}}s that themselves are exchanged with a corresponding [[Augmented Credendum Weapons|Augmented Credendum Weapon]] or {{item icon|Gentlemage's Umbrella}} to give an [[Exquisite Weapons|Exquisite Weapon]] with the same item stats as the [[Ascension Weapons|current savage raid weapons]] and unique graphical effects when unsheathed. These serve a similar purpose as weapons rewarded from ultimate raids (without the third materia slot and a more subdued visual design).

'''Note''': The savage-difficulty dungeon does ''not'' reward the coins that can be obtained from the "normal" criterion version.

===Available Criterion Dungeons (Savage)===
There is no minimum item level requirement, but players are expected to have best-in-slot gear that matches the item level sync of the respective dungeon. For {{questlink|cdungeon|Another Sil'dihn Subterrane (Savage)}}, best-in-slot gear is the same as that used for {{questlink|ultimateraid|The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)}}, while the other two dungeons use item level 660 best-in-slot gear from [[patch 6.55]]. A [[Mandervillous Weapons|Mandervillous Weapon]] is recommended for all dungeons.

===Tips===
Because essentially no player deaths are allowed, savage criterion dungeons are an enormous check for consistency, comparable or surpassing some [[ultimate raids]]. However, unlike ultimate raids, players have the opportunity to practice any mechanics in the "normal" criterion difficulty, as they are virtually identical to the savage difficulty encounter mechanics. For example, players can hold their DPS to practice a boss mechanic in "normal" difficulty that may otherwise be skipped, but cannot be skipped in savage difficulty due to higher boss HP. After practicing the mechanic once, the party may opt to wipe and restart the boss for another repetition of the mechanic to achieve consistency.

==Trivia==
*Criterion dungeons are the first high-end 4-player content introduced in the game (excluding {{questlink|trial|The Great Hunt (Extreme)}}). Their development may have, in part, been a response to longstanding player requests for challenging 4-player content. Similarly, variant dungeons may have been developed in response to requests for less linear dungeons.

Limited jobs

2024-09-22T16:48:14Z

Xi: add V&C as inaccessible to limited jobs

'''Limited Jobs''' are special [[jobs]] that have restrictions when forming parties with other players and participating in [[duties]] due to containing mechanics that are not balanced for grouping.

Currently, the only limited job is {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage]]. A second limited, job, [[Beastmaster]], will be released late in the patch 7.x series.

Blue mage functions independently of other [[classes]] and jobs, starting at level 1 with a maximum level of 80.

When playing as a blue mage, it is not possible to solo queue in [[Duty Finder]], but it is possible to participate in duties with other players in preformed or [[Unrestricted Party|unrestricted parties]]. However, the following duties are inaccessible:

*{{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette}}s
*[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|20px|link=Field Operations]] [[Field Operations]]
**It is not possible to change to blue mage after entering these instances.
*{{questlink|uraid|Ultimate Raids}}
*[[Squadron Missions]]
*{{questlink|ddungeon|Deep Dungeon}}s
*[[File:Variant Dungeon.png|20px|link=Variant_and_Criterion_Dungeons]] [[Variant_and_Criterion_Dungeons|Variant and Criterion Dungeons]]
*{{questlink|pvp|PvP}}, including [[duels]]
**It is possible, however, to enter [[the Wolves' Den]] as a blue mage.
*[[File:Stone Sky Sea icon1.png|20px|link=Stone, Sky, Sea]] [[Stone, Sky, Sea]]
*[[File:Npcs offering quests related to the Hall of the Novice icon.png|20px|link=Hall of the Novice]] [[Hall of the Novice]]
*[[File:Trust icon2.png|20px|link=Trust]] [[Trust]], [[File:Duty support icon1.png|20px|link=Duty Support]] [[Duty Support]], and [[Command Missions]]

Blue mages gain greater experience from battling enemies in the open world than other jobs do.

*No bonuses are granted to experience gained from {{questlink|fate|FATE}} or {{questlink|levequest|guildleve}} enemies.

Blue mage cannot be used to progress through the main scenario.

[[Retainers]] cannot be assigned the blue mage job.

Variant and Criterion Dungeons

Xi: /* Criterion Dungeons (Savage) */

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Raids]], [[Deep Dungeon]]s''
[[File:Variant Dungeon.png|25px|link=]] '''Variant and Criterion dungeons''' are a dungeon style first released on [[patch 6.25]]. After unlocking them, players can register using the ''V&C Dungeon Finder'' under "Duty" in the main menu. All variant and criterion dungeons have an [[item level]] sync, and it is not possible to complete these with an [[Unrestricted Party]] ("unsynced").

==Variant Dungeons==
[[File:Variant and Criterion Dungeons Map.png|thumb|Entrance Map Marker]]
Variant dungeons are level 90 dungeons intended for 1-4 players. They are normal (story mode) [[difficulty]] content. Enemy health will be adjusted depending on the number of players, there are no role restrictions, and players can change jobs to any other Lv. 90 Disciple of War or Magic while the dungeon is in progress when out of combat. Note that changing jobs will result in a 30 second cooldown until the player can use actions. Players can register for Variant Dungeons solo, with a premade party, or use matchmaking. Matching is disabled by default. If the option is enabled, players will be matched to a party of four with no role restrictions.

The map has branching paths, and the progression route will change based on player actions or random events. Some boss mechanics will also vary depending on earlier player actions. The player(s) will be accompanied by an NPC who will provide dialogue and interact with the environment but not participate in combat.

Completing the dungeon in certain ways will add a lore entry to the V&C Dungeon Finder. These entries provide lore regarding the dungeon or hints to puzzles that can be completed to unlock additional entries or a secret boss. Completing all 12 entries in the dungeon will award the player with a mount.

===Variant Actions and Attribute Adjustments===
To allow for greater freedom of role choices, variant dungeons grant players the use of special variant actions. These actions mimic existing abilities such as {{action icon|Cure}} or {{action icon|Rampart}}. Moreover, certain attributes will also be adjusted to compensate for the disparity of strength between certain roles, alleviating the need for dedicated tanks, DPS, or healers.

Variant actions can be selected from the V&C Dungeon Finder window. Players may have up to two variant actions at any given time, and are free to change them at any time, even after entering the dungeon.
* Available variant actions will differ according to the player's role.

==Criterion Dungeons==
Criterion dungeons are visually similar to variant dungeons, but are of a [[difficulty]] comparable to [[extreme trial]]s or [[savage raids]]. They require a 4-player party composed of a tank, a healer, and 2 DPS. The map layout is fixed, and no NPCs accompany the players. Normal resurrection actions are disabled, but players are allowed to revive other party members with {{action icon|Variant Raise II}}, which is the only Variant Action available for this difficulty. Each party member may only use this action once, but it will be replenished upon completing an objective for the dungeon or if the party wipes.

Players can register for criterion dungeons with a fully premade party or use matchmaking. Players who enable this option will be matched into a party consisting of 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 melee DPS, and 1 physical ranged or magical ranged DPS. Additional matchmaking options (e.g., Practice vs. Duty Completion) exist and function similarly to [[Raid Finder]] matching settings. ''Note that in North American and European data centers, most players will use [[Party Finder]] to form groups for Criterion dungeons, similar to other high-end content. Matchmaking is only likely to be used when a dungeon is brand new.''

Regular enemies in criterion dungeons deal significantly more damage and require more strategic ways of engaging them than those in other dungeons. Bosses are similar in mechanical difficulty to extreme trials or savage raids but are shorter (5-6 minutes vs. 10-14 minutes). Similar to other high-difficulty content, each boss must be defeated in a certain time limit, or it will wipe the party with an enrage ability.

Completing a criterion dungeon rewards four dungeon-specific coins to each player when the treasure coffer at the end is opened. These can be exchanged for various combat materia, the [[orchestrion rolls|orchestrion roll]] of the dungeon's background music, and an exclusive [[mount]] (requires 100 coins). The mount also has a low chance to drop directly from the treasure coffer. Note that the mount can be sold on the [[Market Board]].

===Party Composition Bonus===
Upon entering a criterion dungeon, party members will gain a bonus to damage dealt according to the composition of their party. The bonus increases with the number of jobs in your party that rely on actions that affect the entire party.

This bonus system is intended to compensate for the proportional decrease in utility of such actions as party size decreases.
* The effectiveness of the damage bonus will differ between roles.
* This bonus will only be applied to jobs and has no effect on classes.

For example, jobs such as {{BRD}} [[bard]] rely on increasing the damage dealt by their allies. In a light party of four players, their party buffs will only be half as effective in terms of overall party damage increase compared to a full 8-player party. To compensate, a damage increase will be applied to all other party members if a bard (or other jobs with party buffs) is in the party.

See [[Variant and Criterion Dungeons#External Links|External Links]] below for a spreadsheet with a full explanation.

==Criterion Dungeons (Savage)==
Savage criterion dungeons are of a [[difficulty]] comparable to some [[ultimate raids]]. They have additional rules to make them harder: Revive abilities are disabled completely and no variant actions may be used. If the party wipes, all enemies will respawn and players must restart from the beginning. Players who disconnect from the game will be incapacitated upon reconnecting to the dungeon. Matchmaking is unavailable for Savage Criterion dungeons. Players must have a premade party of four people to enter them.

Boss mechanics are identical to those in criterion dungeons, but all enemies have higher health. Non-boss enemies also deal significantly more damage. Many AoE indicators from non-boss enemies that were present in easier difficulties are removed or significantly shortened, and being hit by these avoidable attacks will usually deal lethal damage.

Upon engaging the first enemy, a timer will begin, which can be seen next to the duty objectives. If the party does not complete the dungeon before the timer finishes, all enemies will receive the [[File:Sewer-dwelller icon1.png|link=]] '''Sewer-dweller''' or '''Powerful''' buff, greatly increasing their damage dealt while reducing their damage taken, which is essentially a dungeon-wide enrage. This timer will reset if the party wipes. Because of this global enrage, the party will need to budget their cooldowns considering the length of the dungeon. The duration of the dungeon and the degree of punishment for mistakes, make savage criterion dungeons closer to ultimate-difficulty.

The party composition bonus from criterion dungeons is applicable to the savage difficulty and functions identically.

Completing a savage criterion player rewards one manuscript item, which can be traded for various combat materia and unique glamour or furniture items, in addition to rewarding exclusive titles. In response to the poor material rewards of the first two dungeons, the {{item icon|Aloalo Manuscript}}s obtained from the third dungeon can be traded for {{item icon|Elevated Ester}}s that themselves are exchanged with a corresponding [[Augmented Credendum Weapons|Augmented Credendum Weapon]] or {{item icon|Gentlemage's Umbrella}} to give an [[Exquisite Weapons|Exquisite Weapon]] with the same item stats as the [[Ascension Weapons|current savage raid weapons]] and unique graphical effects when unsheathed. These serve a similar purpose as weapons rewarded from ultimate raids (without the third materia slot and a more subdued visual design).

'''Note''': The savage-difficulty dungeon does ''not'' reward the coins that can be obtained from the "normal" criterion version.

===Unlock===
To unlock savage criterion dungeons, complete the corresponding criterion dungeon, then speak with [[Osmon]] in [[Old Sharlayan]] (X:11.9 Y:13.3) as a level 90 Disciple of War or Magic.

===Available Criterion Dungeons (Savage)===
There is no minimum item level requirement, but players are expected to have best-in-slot gear that matches the item level sync of the respective dungeon. For {{questlink|cdungeon|Another Sil'dihn Subterrane (Savage)}}, best-in-slot gear is the same as that used for {{questlink|ultimateraid|The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)}}, while the other two dungeons use item level 660 best-in-slot gear from [[patch 6.55]]. A [[Mandervillous Weapons|Mandervillous Weapon]] is recommended for all dungeons.

===Tips===
Because essentially no player deaths are allowed, savage criterion dungeons are an enormous check for consistency, comparable or surpassing some [[ultimate raids]]. However, unlike ultimate raids, players have the opportunity to practice any mechanics in the "normal" criterion difficulty, as they are virtually identical to the savage difficulty encounter mechanics. For example, players can hold their DPS to practice a boss mechanic in "normal" difficulty that may otherwise be skipped, but cannot be skipped in savage difficulty due to higher boss HP. After practicing the mechanic once, the party may opt to wipe and restart the boss for another repetition of the mechanic to achieve consistency.

==Trivia==
*Criterion dungeons are the first high-end 4-player content introduced in the game (excluding {{questlink|trial|The Great Hunt (Extreme)}}). Their development may have, in part, been a response to longstanding player requests for challenging 4-player content. Similarly, variant dungeons may have been developed in response to requests for less linear dungeons.

Taking a filthy page from the mudman, this spell coalesces earth-aspected aether into a clump of mud, which is hurled at enemies. Those who are struck bear stubborn mud stains that diminish their self-worth, causing a lingering enervation.

Embracing rage in the fashion of the spectral berserker allows one to unleash an unbridled wave of destruction. As many a parable will attest, however, anger is a double-edged sword; the spell consumes a great deal of energy, and the caster is advised to be wary of untimely exhaustion.

Certain species of armadillo have learned to channel aether into their shells, thus granting them the hardness of metal. A similar stratagem allows the blue mage to reflect physical blows back upon an attacker─though unfortunately, both armadillo and man still feel the intial, teeth-rattling impact.

Favored by hobgoblins, this time-honored technique operates on the premise of “beating 'em senseless.” Blue mages strengthen the attack by channeling magic into their fists, which come to harbor even greater pummeling potential when coupled with the stones to face one's foe head-on.

Acquired from a species of crustacean native to the New World, this spell is executed by blending aether of multiple aspects and unleashing it in one fell blast. This has the effect of disrupting the target's aetheric balance, thereby gradually robbing them of vigor.

White Wind imbues a localized current of air with purified aether, distributing its curative effects throughout the vicinity.
