Geas Fete



Geas Fete focuses on battling the notorious monsters that dwell in the new Escha - Zi'Tah area.

Defeating these notorious monsters will grant the victors experience and capacity points, escha silt and beads—unique currencies specific to Escha—as well as powerful equipment specific to each monster. Adventurers can also find eschalixirs, a mysterious grey liquid used to enhance these items. Take on progressively more powerful notorious monsters while obtaining beneficial effects only available in Escha - Zi'Tah.

How to participate

 * Progress through Rhapsodies of Vana'diel Missions 1-10.
 * Form a party of three to eighteen members.
 * Entrance is located Undulating Confluence (G-8) Qufim Island near home point #1.
 * Earn a currency called Slit by defeating monsters found in Escha zones.
 * Slit accumulates at a rate of 1% of total experience points earned from the defeat of a foe.
 * Current amount of slit earned is displayed under the Currency 2 tab of the status menu.
 * Every party member must possess a Tribulens key item and the party leader must have a grisly trinket corresponding to the appropriate notorious monster.
 * Alter egos can be called forth for Geas Fete, but they do not count towards the required number of party members.

Preparing for battle
1. Acquiring the first key item


 * Speak to Affi in Escha - Zi'Tah (F-10) and exchange escha silt for a tribulens.
 * The amount of silt required to trade for tribulenses will increase with each exchange in eight stages. This increase is tracked for each player individually, and the silt price will slowly revert to its original value in steps after 30 minutes (Earth time) have elapsed.

2. Acquiring the second key item


 * The second "grisly trinket" key item differs based on the notorious monster.
 * Each "grisly trinket" key item bears a different name for its corresponding notorious monster.
 * Speak to Affi and select "Receive grisly trinket memorandums" to see a list of each grisly trinket and their prices.
 * Exchange silt for the grisly trinket that corresponds to your target notorious monster.

Luring the monsters

 * The notorious monster will appear when the party leader inspects the ??? target located in any corner of Escha - Zi'Tah, while in possession of both a tribulens and the appropriate grisly trinket.


 * Vanquishing these fearsome foes rewards players with a variety of spoils and escha silt and beads.
 * The key items are consumed upon summoning the monsters.

Augmenting Equipment

 * Equipment dropped by the NMs of Escha - Zi'Tah can be engraved with arcane glyptics in stages by exchanging eschalixirs to Nolan in Norg (I-7).


 * A preliminary mezzotinting process is performed after one of four different enhancement paths is selected. Mezzotinting does not require any eschalixira, but it does cost silt to perform.


 * Applying eschalixir to mezzotinted equipment will enhance its properties through several progressively stronger ranks. (Up to rank 15.)

Item details follow below.

Type: Selected path. Rank: Current equipment enhancement rank. NextRP: The number of rank points required before the next rank is reached.


 * Equipment dropped by the notorious monsters defeated in Geas Fete can be mezzotinted under a different path while retaining its previous enhancements.

Eschalixirs

 * This mysterious grey liquid can extracted from the remains of Escha - Zi'Tah's denizens or bought from Nolan in exchange for escha beads.


 * Eschalixirs +1 and +2 can also be obtained from defeating the notorious monsters that roam Escha - Zi'Tah or are engaged in Geas Fete.


 * Enhancing equipment with a higher grade eschalixir will grant more rank points than lower quality ones.
