Voidwalker Notorious Monsters (VNM) are new NMs introduced in the March 2010 update.

Beginning The Quest
Speak with Assai Nybaem in Ru'Lude Gardens (G-10) to purchase a Clear Abyssite for 1,000 gil.

Finding a Voidwalker Notorious Monster
Head to a zone and use the /heal command. If there is a Voidwalker within range, the game will signal a location for you in distance and direction. Which tier VNM spawns is based on your current color of Abyssite. Head toward the potential spawn and rest. Either the system will give you new directions, or a VNM based on your zone will spawn. Note: if the popper gets killed without having anyone else get hate from the VNM, it will immediately despawn.

If you heal in a zone, and the text says "The Abyssite quivers ever so slightly, but emits no light", That means that all the VNMs poppable by that crystal are dead in that zone. Tier II and III VNMS hae a 1 hour repop. Tier IV VNM repop has not been determined. If the mobs in that zone are dead, you can simply go to another zone in that specidic path and see if a mob is up in that zone.

Defeating a Tier I VNM may cause your Clear Abyssite to change into Colorful Abyssite, used to track a Tier II VNM. This appears to be random. The key item for Tier I is the same for all zones. Defeating a Tier I NM makes you able to pop a Tier II in ANY Tier II zone. A Tier I from East Ronfaure can pop a Tier II in Rolanberry Fields.

Defeating a Tier II VNM may cause your Colorful Abyssite to change into Blue Abyssite, Yellow Abyssite, Purple Abyssite, Orange Abyssite or Brown Abyssite, used to track a Tier III VNM. The color will depend on the Tier II VNM that you kill. Much like ZNM, there are specific Paths, based on the color of your Abyssite, that one can take. For example, a Yellow Abyssite will not aggro Orcus(brown).

Defeating a Tier III VNM may cause your Tier III Abyssite to change into Black Abyssite, used to track a Tier IV VNM. This appears to be random.

Sometimes, your Abyssite may shatter upon popping a Tier II or III VNM. What causes this is unknown at the moment. Tier IV VNM appears to break your Abyssite 100% of the time.
