To view the field records, you must first use the field note item in your inventory. Then, open up your menu and go to the Collections section.
Field notes can be obtained from Zadnor, the second area that is unlocked when progressing through the “Save the Queen” quest line. ..
Obtaining Field Notes
If you engage in battle on the Bozjan Southern Front, you have a chance at obtaining Field Notes. These notes can be used to improve your strategy and help you win future battles. ..
If you want to be sure your records are complete, you’ll need to do all three methods of field recording. ..
Skirmishes
These are random battles that occur in the Bozja map and are very similar to FATEs that are found throughout the rest of FFXIV.
Skirmishes are a way for players to get involved in the game and earn rewards. The more players are in the Skirmish, the more rewards they will receive.
Critical Engagements
Critical engagements are encounters that occur randomly within the Bozjan Southern Front, but are slightly different from skirmishes.
The most obvious difference would be that these battles are much more difficult. They are more akin to the Trials you can find in the Duty Finder.
The Critical Engagement is an event open to anyone in the zone, but only a certain number of players may participate.
The maximum number of players that can join a Critical Engagement is determined by the Critical Engagement difficulty.
Duels
Critical Engagements are similar to Duels, but they are 1v1 battles between you and an opponent. They are triggered after completing certain Critical Engagements.
To qualify for a Duel, you must participate in the Critical Engagement that triggers it without dying or getting hit by any of the AoE attacks. Getting disconnected during the engagement will also disqualify you from a Duel.
If multiple players qualify for a Duel, only one will be chosen at random to fight the enemy. Players that are not selected will gain notoriety, which will increase your odds of being chosen the next time you qualify for a Duel. ..
Your notoriety will reset after you have been chosen for a duel. ..
Castrum Lacus Litore and The Dalriada
These are special Critical Engagements that take you to instanced areas and function much like Alliance Raids. However, a maximum of 48 players may enter and party compositions will not be restricted to the usual setups.
To qualify for Castrum Lacus Litore, you must reach a Resistance Rank of 10 and complete the quest “The Lady of Blades”. To qualify for the Dalriada, you need to reach Resistance Rank 25 and complete the quest “A New Playing Field”.
The Castrum Lacus Litore is located in the Bozjan Southern Front while the Dalriada is located in Zadnor.
Delubrum Reginae
The Alliance Raid is a raid where players team up and take on waves of enemies. The similarities between the two raids are that both involve killing enemies, and both are available for free to play.
The party composition rule for Castrum Lacus Litore and The Dalriada is that the maximum number of players allowed inside is 24 instead of 48.
To access Delubrum Reginae, you’ll need to complete the side quest “Fit for a Queen” from Bajsaljen in Gangos. Once you are done with the quest, you can queue up for the instance by speaking with Sjeros in Gangos.
What To Do With Duplicate Field Notes
As you spend more time in the Bozjan Southern Front and Zadnor, you’ll come across duplicate Field Notes. These can be exchanged for lockboxes at the Resistance Historian NPC present in both areas.
The Resistance Historian is a historian who can be found at Utya’s Aegis in the Bozjan Southern Front and at Camp Vrdelnis in Zadnor.
Locksmith NPCs in both zones will offer you lockboxes in exchange for gil, items, or minions. These lockboxes can contain a variety of different items, including glamour items, chocobo bardings, minions, and even the Gabriel α mount. ..
Resistance Locksmiths can be found at: Resistance Locksmiths are a necessary part of any home or office. They can help you unlock your door, safe, and more.
The Utya’s Aegis (X:15.2, Y:29.8) is located in Bozja, and The Southern Plateau (X:34.9, Y:34.3) is located in Zadnor. ..
