 * Upon victory, the Orb holder will receive one Rueful Reminiscence, and ALL party members will receive one Rueful Imprint. These memory items are Ex, but not Rare, and can be stacked.   (Make sure to have 1-2 slots free to receive your reward- the server will post a reminder  upon entry.)
 * The Rueful Reminiscence can be traded for one reward item. These items seem to all be craft-related (Ex. Phyrgian Ore).
 * The Rueful Imprints can also be traded for one reward item each, and can yield items such as consumables, scrolls, crafting materials, or rare equipment.

COMMONS: Drops include items such as Gold Ingot, Vile Elixir, and Valor Minuet V.

RARES: Notable drops include Memoria Sachet and Poeas' Ring.


 * Both Rueful Reminiscence and Rueful Imprint are traded to Shami (the orb NPC, in Port Jeuno, H-8) to obtain the rewards.

Entrance

 * Empty Aspirations is initiated by trading a Deimos Orb to the membrane door in Spire of Vahzl.
 * Spire of Vahzl is located on the fifth floor of Promyvion - Vahzl.
 * Promyvion - Vahzl is accessed via Pso'Xja, so access to this zone is required.
 * To reach the door to Promyvion - Vahzl, it is necessary to enter Pso'Xja via Entrance #1 at Beaucedine Glacier (F-7). Enemies inside will not aggro to 99s.
 * Once inside Pso'Xja, walk forward until you see a stone door. Checking it typically gives a message that the "trap is disabled."  Open the door, and proceed to the elevator.  Take the elevator down, and just ahead is the door to Promyvion - Vahzl.
 * At the door, you have several choices. Simply entering will take you to Floor 1.  However, the "Warp to..." options will take you to Floor 3, 4, or 5.  Select "Warp to the Ponderer" to warp straight to Floor 5, and the Spire is a short walk from there.

Strategies
AoE abilities can prove very effective. WAR is quite useful due to Fell Cleave. Cleaving mobs can increase your speed and capacity to obtain Memories. The same principle could be applied to similiar abilities of BLU, BLM, etc. Just be careful to keep your distance from the Vault, because stray AoEs could prematurely end your KCNM in failure.

BLM are also extremely handy for their ability to one-shot the dangerous Byrgen. Having a BLM on Byrgen duty can be an effective strategy to prevent an automatic loss.

Known successful party combinations include (among others):
