Three teams of adventurers, each representing one of the three Grand Companies, will do battle in teams of twenty-four on an ancient Yok Huy battlefield.

Subject to changes in weather and the appearance of snow spirits, players must take both the blessings and burdens of the land in stride as they navigate the path to victory!

Requirements

Players must be enlisted in a Grand Company.
* Players will be randomly assigned to one of the three Grand Company teams.

Entering Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)

Players may register via the Duty Finder with no restrictions on role or job.
* Players can freely change jobs or classes at their Grand Company team's landing.

Victory Conditions

Across the field of battle, there are points of tactical importance known as triumphs. By laying claim to these locations, players can increase their tactical rating over time. The first team to reach a rating of 1,400 will be declared the winner.
* If no team reaches a rating of 1,400 by the time limit, the team with the highest rating will be declared the winner.

Remaining teams will be ranked according to their respective ratings.

Triumph States

In the course of battle, triumphs will assume one of four states, in the following order:

• Inactive
  When inactive, a triumph cannot be claimed. All triumphs are inactive at the onset of battle, but as time passes, they will randomly begin activating.

• Activating
  When a triumph begins activating, a symbol will appear above it indicating the time remaining before it becomes unclaimed. The symbol will gradually take shape until it becomes complete, rendering the triumph unclaimed.

• Unclaimed
  When a triumph is unclaimed, several fields of triumph will appear around it. Once a single team secures all fields, they will claim the triumph for themselves.

• Claimed
  When claimed, a triumph gradually increases a team's tactical rating. A triumph that has been claimed cannot be seized by the opposition; however, after a certain amount of time has elapsed, it will revert to being inactive.

Fields of Triumph

Several fields of triumph will appear around an unclaimed triumph. Players can secure a field of triumph by remaining within the area for a set period of time. The number of players within the field does not affect the time required.

The higher the rank of the triumph, the more fields will appear.

Triumph Rank

When a triumph begins activating, it will randomly be assigned a rank: B, A, or S, as indicated by the corresponding shape. While higher-ranked triumphs are rarer, they increase a team's tactical rating at a faster rate.

• B Rank

• A Rank

• S Rank

Weather

The field will also be subject to changes in weather, which cause different effects depending on the conditions.

Snow

As time passes in a match, snow may begin to fall on Worqor Chirteh. While snow is falling, snow spirits will appear around the arena to engage in a bout of mischief-making.

• Snow Soldiers
  When snow spirits appear, they will cast Soldiers of 'Fridgeration to create snow troops of various sizes around the arena. These snow soldiers form obstacles that can be used to turn the tide of battle in your favor.

• Blessed Blast
  When snow spirits are present, they will repeatedly cast Blessed Blast. Players caught in this blast will be protected by a barrier that nullifies damage.

Auroras

As time passes in a match, auroras may appear in the skies over Worqor Chirteh. This weather condition causes the following two effects:

• Increases the likelihood that triumphs will activate as a higher rank.
• Gradually fills the limit gauge of all players.

Other Rules

In addition to the above, there are a number of other mechanics applicable to all Frontline campaigns.

Retaliation

Incapacitated players will be returned to their Grand Company team's landing, where they will be allowed to rejoin combat after a short delay. This will not incur a weakness penalty.

Players will be granted invulnerability within their Grand Company's landing and for ten seconds after leaving.

Mounts

Players are free to use mounts during Frontline campaigns. However, players taking damage while mounted will be forced off and afflicted with the Hoofing It status effect for five seconds.
* Flying mounts cannot be used to fly during Frontline campaigns. Furthermore, party members may not ride pillion on multi-seat mounts.

Return

Using Return will teleport players back to their landing point. Moreover, this action has no recast time during Frontline campaigns. Please note, however, casting will be interrupted by attacks.

Limit Gauge

The limit gauge will fill gradually over time, the rate being influenced by your team's combat ranking.

Battle High

Battle High is a status that increases damage dealt and HP restored by healing actions according to a player's knockouts and assists. The maximum rating is 100, and for every increment of 20, the status increases in strength. Being incapacitated will reduce the rating by half.

The strength of one's Battle High can be confirmed via a gauge in the HUD.

It will also be represented via an icon next to player nameplates.

Player Icons

Participating players will be shown on the map and minimap.

Job Modifiers

Damage dealt, damage taken, and limit gauge charge time in Frontline campaigns are adjusted based on your current job.

Learn more about job modifiers.

Items

Items cannot be used during a Frontline campaign.

Chat

All chat channels can be used during Frontline.
* Say, Yell, and Shout can only be used with players on the same team.

Battle Log

In Worqor Chirteh (Triumph), information regarding claimed triumphs and weather changes will be displayed in the battle log.

Following this change, the name of the UI element in the HUD has been renamed to PvP Battle Log.
* Use of the battle log is planned to be added to other Frontline campaigns in a future update.

The rotation of available campaigns has been changed.

* The available campaign changes at 7:00 a.m. PST (15:00 GMT / 2:00 AEDT). Only the currently available campaign can be accessed in the Duty Finder.
* If you are waiting for a match via the Duty Finder when the campaign changes, your registration will automatically be withdrawn.

Quetzalli gear can now be purchased in exchange for sacks of nuts from Ryubool Ja in Tuliyollal (X:13.9 Y:13.4).

When exchanging crafted gear for tokens, HQ gear can no longer be submitted in the NQ Gear menu.

Equipment can now be glamoured regardless of class or job requirements.

* Weapons and tools must be glamoured with the same type of item. (Dark knight's arms with dark knight's arms, shields with shields, etc.)

Equipment can now be glamoured regardless of level requirements.

Glamoured equipment will display regardless of your character's current class, job, or level.

Following these adjustments, some pieces of equipment already glamoured that were not displaying in Patch 7.38 or prior may display in Patch 7.4 and onward.
* Please note that equipment restrictions based on race, gender, and Grand Company affiliation will still apply.

The number of glamour prisms or glamour dispellers in your inventory will now be displayed when casting or dispelling a glamour.

The following adjustments have been made to outfit glamours:

Full outfit sets are no longer required when creating outfit glamours.

The number of glamour prisms consumed when creating an outfit glamour will be based on the number of pieces added to the outfit.

The number of pieces currently in an outfit glamour will now be displayed on each set in the Outfits tab of the Glamour Dresser.

If all possible pieces of an outfit glamour have been placed in the Glamour Dresser, the number of pieces will be displayed in orange. For outfit glamours with pieces missing, the number will be displayed in white.

If you have stored a partial outfit glamour and wish to store extra pieces, you may do so via the following method:

• In the Glamour Dresser window, select "Add Missing Outfit Gear" from the subcommand menu.
• Select the "Outfit Glamour" option on the pieces you wish to store.

* In Patch 7.41, Aethernet shards will be placed on Oizys as development of the star progresses. As of Patch 7.4, all Aethernet shards will be installed on Sinus Ardorum and Phaenna.

When performing stellar missions on the same star, a gold count will now be given based on the number of consecutive missions completed with a gold star rank.

Consecutive gold star ranks in class A or higher stellar missions or provisional missions will add to your gold count.

Gold count progresses from 1 to 5, after which you will reach Super Star status. Accruing two golds or more will result in reward bonuses.

Upon obtaining the reward bonus granted by Super Star status, the gold count will be reset to 0.
* Critical missions do not add to the gold count or grant reward bonuses.

The following conditions will reset the gold count:

• Participation in a large-scale project
• Undertaking, completing, failing, or abandoning a critical mission

When undertaking stellar missions, a message will now be displayed if the mission requires expert recipes.

This feature can be accessed via Strategy Board under Party in the main menu.

Creating New Strategy Boards

New strategy boards are created by selecting the "New Strategy" button on the Strategy Board List window and selecting one of the following three options:

Preset Strategy Board

Blank Strategy Board

Adding Objects

Choose icons pertaining to the class or job of party members, enemy attack types, and other signs and symbols to add to the strategy board. These objects can also be repositioned, rotated, and resized.

When using a gamepad, press the Y (△) button to select multiple objects.

Utilizing Object Layers

The placement of different object layers can be adjusted via the Object Layers window, with the list representing layer height in descending order.

Multiple object layers can be selected from the list in the same manner that multiple objects can be directly selected on strategy boards.

Gridlines, gridline snapping, and object snapping can be toggled via the buttons in the top right of the Strategy Board Editor window.

Saving Strategy Boards

Up to fifty strategy boards can be saved at a time, with saved strategy boards displayed on the Saved List.

Sharing Strategy Boards

Created strategy boards can be shared with other players via two different options listed in the Saved List subcommand menu.

Share with Party

Share created strategy boards or entire folders with current party members, who will be notified upon receipt. Shared strategy boards will be temporarily saved to the Shared List.

• Shared List
  Up to twenty shared strategy boards can be temporarily saved to the list, which is accessible via the View Shared List button on the Strategy Board List.
  
  To permanently save a shared strategy board and thereby transfer it to the Saved List, select Save from the board's subcommand menu on the Shared List window.

* If a new strategy is shared with you when the Shared List is at full capacity, the oldest temporarily stored strategy board will be automatically deleted.
* If a blacklisted player shares a strategy board with you, a prompt will display confirming whether you wish to view the board.

Create Share Code

Generate text-based codes to share with other players, which they can then enter when creating their own strategy board.

To input a code generated by another player, select the Share Code Strategy Board option when creating a strategy board.
* Codes can only be used to share a single strategy board.
* Please note that codes exchanged via chat may be affected by player chat filters, and in some cases share codes may exceed the character limit for chat messages.

Sharing Strategy Boards

Modify a strategy board together with party members. This option is accessible by selecting Share on the strategy board subcommand menu and then selecting Real-time Sharing.

While all players will be able to view the strategy board, only the player who initiated real-time sharing can make direct edits.

Any changes made to the strategy board are saved automatically to the Shared List of any player reviewing it.
