Category:Abyssite

Abyssite are strange stones originating from the alternate reality of Abyssea. Most abyssite offer various benefits to those adventurers who would dare venture into the harsh landscape of Abyssea. Certain other abyssite allow adventurers to track and "contact" Voidwalkers, strange creatures invisible to the naked eye that traverse the boundaries between dimensions.

VNM Abyssite
VNM-specific abyssite is a tiered system similar to ZNM that starts by purchasing Clear Abyssite from Assai Nybaem in Ru'Lude Gardens, or Clear Demilune Abyssite from Cruor Prospectors within Abyssea. You can find more information on these types of abyssite on the VNM page.

Visitant Abyssite
These abyssite grant various Abyssea-related enhancements, such as faster recharge on Traverser Stones or less experience loss when defeated in Abyssea. Despite these abyssite being listed under Temporary Key Items, they are never lost once obtained, and offer their benefits automatically once obtained.
 * The names of most of these abyssite consist of a prefix indicating where/how the abyssite is obtained, and a suffix indicating what it does. For instance, with the Viridian Abyssite of Avarice, "Viridian" is a shade of green, indicating that it is located in an area associated most closely to Windurst (in this case, Abyssea - Tahrongi), and "of Avarice" refers to its ability to enable you to carry one more Traverser Stone than normal ("avarice" refers to greed and a desire to hoard things).  Ivory abyssite can be obtained from more than one location.
 * Abyssite with the same suffix will bestow cumulative effects. For example, having both Abyssites of Avarice will allow you to carry 5 Traverser Stones instead of the usual 3.
 * Each Abyssea expansion appears to have a replica set of abyssite, same in type and number as the other expansions, yet stacks with all others due to the color difference. Most abyssite types, such as Avarice, Celerity, Lunar, etc, have only one copy per expansion; whereas some others have multiple copies per expansion, such as Sojourn, Merit, and Lenity.
 * Most 'defeat' abyssites from Visions of Abyssea areas will only be granted to the player that establishes initial claim on the target. Letting it go unclaimed to allow others to claim allows more people to get the abyssite from a single defeat. 'Defeat' abyssites from Scars of Abyssea areas, as well as those from Fear Gorta and Ovni, drop to the entire alliance.
 * 'Defeat' abyssite have a particular drop rate like any other item; however, the probability of drop can be made 100% by triggering a red !! weakness once upon the monster (provided it is an NM capable of having weaknesses triggered).
 * You will not receive the abyssite if you are KO'd when the monster dies.
 * The 1st table below lists abyssite by type, while the next table lists them by area found.

* Abyssea mission quests include: A Goldstruck Gigas, To Paste a Peiste, Megadrile Menace, The Beast of Bastore, A Delectable Demon, and A Fluttery Fiend, A Beaked Blusterer, A Man-Eating Mite, An Ulcerous Uragnite.
