Introduced in Seekers of Adoulin, Alluvion Skirmishes are high level, instanced end-game battle events which
take place in an "otherworldly" version of areas of Ulbuka. The primary rewards from Skirmishes are unique,
high damage weapons which can be augmented to enhance their already formidable powers. Alluvion
Skirmishes are accessed using sets of Simulacrum Segments with an Eudaemon Item, which are obtainable by
various methods throughout areas of Ulbuka. The four items used to build a Eudaemon will determine the
quantity and quality of rewards available, the number and quality of extra buffs and benefits you can receive
within the Skirmish, and the difficulty and time limit of the Skirmish.

Eligibility Requirements
In order to enter a Skirmish, you will need to meet the following requirements:
Leader must possess a "Simulacrum" key item (see Assembling Simulacra below)
Skirmish Areas
There are currently three areas in which Alluvion Skirmishes take place. Each area has a unique layout and
differing objectives and available rewards. There are floors with objectives similar to the idea of Nyzul Isle
Investigation. Skirmishes are entered at the Augural Conveyor located in the true Vana'diel's parallel area:
Rala Waterways (U) entered via Augural Conveyor in Rala Waterways (B/C-6)
Cirdas Caverns (U) entered via Augural Conveyor in Cirdas Caverns (H-3)
Yorcia Weald (U) entered via Augural Conveyor in Yorcia Weald (I-10)
Assembling Eudaemon
To participate, only the party leader will need to assemble a Eudaemon key item. Similar to the original
Skirmish it is comprised of three Simulacrum Segments, one from each of three categories: Visage, Torso, and
Legs. In addition, one Eudaemon item must be traded with the Simulacrum Segments.
Rala eudaemon will be received if a Rala Visage was used, for entry into Rala Waterways (U).
Cirdas eudaemon will be received if a Cirdas Visage was used, for entry into Cirdas Caverns (U).
The type of Visage selects the Skirmish area and the tier influences the quality of rewards (specifically,
the quality of Leafslit, Leaftip, Leafdim, Leaforb, Snowslit, Snowtip, Snowdim,and Snoworb received).
The tier of Torso chooses the Skirmish level. This influences the maximum time allotted, maximum
possible number of floors, and number of rewards.
o The time begins at 15 minutes for a tier 1 torso, and increases in 10 minute increments for each
tier above that up to 55 minutes at tier 5.
o Each higher tier torso will have one more level or floor available than the previous.
The tier of Legs sets the number of Noetic Ascensions available and the chance they will activate
instead of receiving the message that "Nothing happens...".
Because of the synergies involved in using higher tier components together, it is sensible to assemble high tier
head and legs segments together with high tier body segments. A maximum size run using a tier V body will
yield the most possible drops (the quality of which is influenced by the head segment's tier) and the most
possible Noetic Ascensions (the quantity and effects of which are influenced by the legs segment's tier).
Each category of Eudaemon influences a Skirmish in different ways. The effect varies slightly from each
Skirmish, but overall is constant.

Obtaining Components
Simulacrum Segments can be obtained in a variety of ways in the areas of Ulbuka, but are most frequently
obtained from completing Lair Reive and Colonization Reive battles. Higher tier segments are increasingly
rarer.
They can be also be obtained from the three methods below, but they are extremely rare and random to come by.
There is a constant number of available segments throughout Ulbuka at any given time, and their obtainment
methods are random and predetermined. Once one is obtained, it resets to a new location and method of
obtainment.
Soul Pyres, which spawn occasionally after defeating any normal enemy throughout Ulbuka.
Eudaemon items are obtained as 100% drops in the treasure pool in the original Skirmishes after using the
Fenestral Key.
Additionally, they can be obtained from:
Purchased with Obsidian Fragments obtained from prior Skirmishes (tier I segments only)
Skirmishes
Entrance
Upon entering the Skirmish the time restriction and number of floors available will be set based on the tier of
Faithful's Torso utilized.
Upon entering players are faced with a waypoint named a Living Cairn which is used to warp to the first floor.
Time starts before you even warp to the first floor.
After completing the primary objective, if the group plans on continuing and completing the secondary
objective, players should not use the Fenestral Key until the secondary objective is completed.
Rarely when proceeding to the next floor party members will be scattered and you will receive the message
"You have discovered a rift in the space and time dimension".

Noetic Ascensions
Noetic Ascension
Noetic Ascensions will be found scattered across the Skirmish area. Noetic Ascensions yield benefits for the
entire party upon use. The number of Noetic Ascensions found, will increase with higher tier Legs segments.
Larger runs utilizing higher tier torso segments will also have more ascensions available.
Unlike their Skirmish counterparts Noetic Ascensions in Alluvion Skirmish bestow random benefits to the
party. Benefits will be bestowed immediately and buff effects will remain active for the full duration of the
Skirmish. Activating multiple Noetic Ascensions will increase the potency of random enhancements. Not all
Ascensions may be activated. Occasionally players will the message that "Nothing happens...".
Noetics provide the same types of benefits regardless of the tier runs. Therefore it is likely the values may be
different across them depending on the quality of Similarcum.

Rewards
As players work towards completing the primary objective, they will periodically be notified of their progress
and of the rewards they will receive in their personal treasure pool if the primary objective is completed.

NMs on each level. Mistmaws also drop a variety Leaf and Snow stones used to augment the weapons. All other
rewards are player-specific and will load into each player's Treasure Coffer at the end of the Skirmish after

Limbus/Assault/Salvage/Einherjar/Meeble Burrows/Legion
Old content which shouldn't pose much of a problem. Again, low accuracy requirements.
Assault: There's a Solo Assault Guide here - it's from 2013 but should give insight on what to expect.
Salvage: If Battleclad Chariot's Discoid is a run-ender, try taking advantage of HeraldHenry's Bubble
Curtain (MDT-50%), or utilize SurgingStorm/SubmergedIyo for their innate MDT-25%.
Einherjar (Level 75 version): You can clear tier 1 and 2 reliably by gathering all the monsters
and spamming AoE Ready moves. With practice and better gear, tier 3 is also possible.
Meeble Burrows: Monster Correlation and Killer Instinct/Effects are beneficial for most of the
Expeditions (lots of Aquans, Amorphs, Lizards, Vermin) so plan accordingly. You can boost your
Killer traits by applying Intimidation Palimpsests to the Grimoires inside. It's possible to solo
the entirety of the Sauromogue Expedition list, plus Umagrhk. Also, you should be able to
obtain Goal 3 on the majority of objectives, save a few tricky ones.
Legion: You can enter Legion solo as of Feb 2015. It's possible to hit the flying Wyrm with
Claw Cyclone. Beware of Death Prophet from the Mantis NMs and the Death spell from the Corse NMs.
Blackbeard Randy's Razor Fang/Claw Cyclone, Amiable Roche's Recoil Dive,
Warlike Patrick's Brain Crush/Tail Blow/Fireball, & Bouncing Bertha's Tegmina Buffet
will wreck shop in any of these events, especially in combination with Unleash.
High-Tier Battlefields
(It's possible to use Trust magic in this event.)
Adjustable content level, so choose gear sets accordingly (Content Level 113-125).
Keep in mind that certain fights like Mithra Ark Angel will require extra accuracy because of Evasion
bonuses.
If you're soloing/duoing, and filling a tanking role, opt for Attentive Ibuki/Swooping Zhivago for their innate
50% resistance to Slashing damage. If someone else is tanking, then use a pet with high accuracy/powerful
debuffs.
Check out this excellent guide on High-Tier Avatar battles by Larrymc for info on pets/strategies.
