The Bozjan Southern Front

1.1 What is this about?

The Bozjan Southern Front is an instanced area that up to 72 players can explore simultaneously.
Commonly referred as Bozja; the first major battlefield in the Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr storyline.
players assist the Bozjan Resistance in reclaiming their homeland from the IVth Imperial Legion.As of 6.0, this is one of the best ways to level any class from 71-90. you will be able to switch classes in the instance, and

1.2 How to Bozja

Bozja has an independent rank system called Resistance Rank.
Resistance Ranks level up when you have a certain amount of Mettle, to gain mettle, participate in a Skirmish and/or Critical Engagements.As shown in the map, the pink fate icons indicate Skirmish, and Blue icons are Critical Engagements. Each critical engagement grants you 400k+ xp approximately.Critical engagements are mini-trials in Bozja. (abbreviated as CE)when you join a Critical engagement, people will say "lfg [their job]" which means they are looking for a party, you gain more rewards by doing so, so join. leave afterYou wont be able to proceed to the next areas until you raise resistance ranks and complete bozjan questlines.

Wtf are all these things in my inventory?

- Forgotten Fragments
When you get a sparkly yellow thing; a Forgotten Fragment of XXX, bring it to the Resistance Appraiser. This gives you Bozja-exclusive skills and buffs during your time fighting the war. eg: Lets a DPS heal a party/ gives Healers a 80% dmg bonus/ crazy speed/etc.When these are appraised, it goes to your Lost finds Cache. you can select which one you want to carry with you in Lost finds Holster (ur bag) all three basecamps in bozja will let you edit this whenever.

- Field Notes on XXX
an archive/collection drop from fate/skirmish bosses. collect them all for a free 2-seater mount. use to add to your collections.- Bozjan Cluster
Looks like a crystal doused in Piss.
Grindable from Magitek Mobs in Bozja.

i recommend trading 25 of it for a riding map at first for faster mount speeds in bozja.

Bozja is a grind, but once you unlock it, you can level classes EZ PZ.

Once you finish Bozjan dungeon: Castrum Lacus Litore, you will be able to unlock the next area, Zadnor. and you get bozjan coins that you can trade for the Bozjan Runner's Secret gear coffers (worth 450-900k each on Market Board!)dm me if you guys have more questions :3moachowski#7632

Treasure Maps

1.1 What is this about?

Treasure Hunt (or more commonly just "Maps") is an optional event done in FF outer world, and one of the more Gil profitable events in the game. We are basically given a slice of Eorzea map once we use a map item. A map image then pops up on your screen, for example:

And, opening our UI map, we have to find out where the X is (e.g. bottom right):

The above highlights the possible map locations in an area using a third-party website, Heavenswhere. However, in-game no red Xs or map highlight is shown. You only know the area, but it is up to you to figure out where the X is.Once you arrive at a location, you can use a skill obtained by doing an optional blue quest (see next section) to inspect the location for treasure. A chest appears, monsters need to be defeated, and treasure is given. A decent sum of gil and unique items only for maps (minions, craft materials for fashion wearable by any level, house furniture, etc) can only be found here.Normally, players prefer to use a special kind of map, which has a chance to spawn portals:

* Map Portals are a common source of Gil and the only way to obtain exclusive materials to craft fashion gear any level or class can wear!

Whoever used the map, can interact with said portal so the party may enter an instanced dungeon. What follows is a mini-game of luck where, every successful chance leads to more monsters, more Gil, and more treasure. The prize increases the deeper in the instance the party goes.

Until eventually a final room is reached if you are lucky enough.

1.2 Unlocking Quests

To unlock Treasure Hunt, complete the quest Treasures and Tribulations.

1.3 What map items to use and how to obtain?

The following lists only maps that can generate portals for brevity. For non-portal maps check FF Wiki or Gamerescape.You can obtain the following map items (e.g. Timeworn Dragonskin Map) by buying from the Marketboard (World Travel to check best prices since the point is to make Gil not lose it!), or by using a Gatherer (Miner, Botanist, Fisher) to obtain them (you can only obtain one per day).Since this is a unique item, you can only store the same item once per inventory (1 for Chocobo Saddlebag, 1 per Retainer, and 1 in your inventory) which should be sufficient. If you wish to stockpile, Moogle Mail them over time to a friend and vice-versa.The maps per expansion are:- ARR (Level 50): There are no maps with portals for ARR.- Heavensward (Level 60): Timeworn Dragonskin Map. Opens a portal to The Aquapolis instance.- Stormblood (Level 70): Timeworn Gazelleskin Map. Opens a portal to The Lost Canals of Uznair or The Shifting Altars of Uznair instances.- Shadowbringers (Level 80): Timeworn Zonureskin Map. Opens a portal to the The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah and The Shifting Oubliettes of Lyhe Ghiah instances.- Endwalker (Level 90): Timeworn Kumbhiraskin Map.

1.4 Conventions and Expectations

There are two rule sets people usually use.Need/Greed:- Since maps are items, only one party member at a time can use them. We agree beforehand on how many maps each player will bring. You may choose to not bring any too.
- Normally we rotate turns per map, rather than per person. This is to ensure if the content runs late, everyone gets a chance to go before others start dropping off the party. If each person starts with 2 or more maps, it is courteous to wait until the full round ends to then ask to leave.
- Whoever the map's turn is, Needs the item, everyone else Greeds. Note this is done by party convention, it is not enforced by the game. Since some items are untradeable, make sure to Greed if you are not the owner of the map.
- If you are the Owner, you are welcome to Greed or Pass as you see fit.Free For All (FFA):- Everyone brings a set of 1/2 maps agreed before hand.
- Everyone needs.
- The assumption is maps are cheap enough to run, and since everyone has the same chance, we can leave any time.

- Map Locations Dopr
- Heavenswhere Maps/Hunt Locations

Joining Syrup

Syrup was always intended as a close-knitted Free Company.What this means, is that while we may not all be
sitting at the same bench every occasion, we are all
still sitting around the same fireplace.

We all heard the same situation time and time again:
You join an FC hoping to make friends. But you do
not know where to start. Or maybe, there was never
a starting point, to begin with.So we try a few things differently here. In fact, we are
always trying something new. From time to time we
get together and keep what works and reinvent what
does not. By we, I mean everyone. By getting together, I
really mean sitting by the FC estate to talk about it!
We don't have officers, after all. What you see on this
website is a part of what worked, and everyone was
happy with it. The first part of joining Syrup is thus being
open to trying things out.

The second is being interested in meeting others.
A good number of us idle in the New Grindania plaza
by the benches close to the main Aetheryte.

Please stop by and say hi! We often idle in this area
because that is precisely how this FC started. Sitting
by the bench idling, and due to some eventuality,
getting to know each other.If you're really interested in joining, we will make a party
with folks already in the FC so they get to know you and
you get to know them. It may sound a bit overwhelming,
but that's how it all started: There was never a starting
group of friends in the FC to begin with. Which is to say,
everyone was once in your shoes too :)This gives you a starting point, even if small, to know a few
folks, or conversely, may find out that the FC may not be what
you were considering, and that is fine too!As said at the start, we don't shout or actively seek
new members. Most of the FC is now a friend of
a friend, found us via Community Finder, or met at the bench.
There is much more that Syrup does a bit differently, so feel
free to stop by to know more!

Syrup is a group of friends. Not an "FC as a service"! :o

More often than not, when reading shouts in towns
you will find FCs that advertise services.Buffs, Events, Contests, Giveaways, "Staff", etc.
This is all fine and good, but note this FC does not
function like so, and thus you should not seek to
join Syrup with this set of expectations.Assume we do nothing other than AFK in Grindania
bench-warming :) That being said, we do our own
thing here and then.

The FC has various means on discord for you to find
others with common interests, and feel comfortable
to reach out and be reached out about different kinds
of contents. If you are a member, you are also welcomed
to use one or request a banner to host your own event
using Discord Event feature for visibility.Some of the banners of past hosted events are shown below.
It is ok if you are unfamiliar with how to or want to learn
about it. Learning and being new to the game is part of why
this FC exists, after all. However, if your goal is to have
various events hosted weekly by officers, other
larger FCs may be more suitable for your interests.

Oui Oui ~

Crabette, our mascot was born out of a jackbox game! In one of the doodle games, the answer happened to be "oui oui, immigrate to me, Crabette." Aki made the doodle for the answer, and it has since lived on.

Ze Crabette has since got more style and now lurks in our discord and estate name ~
