The goal of Yorcia Skirmishes is to protect the base, known as a '''Cantonment'''. If the base is destroyed, the Skirmish will be failed. Scattered across the Skirmish battlefield, players will find several '''Bestial Dens''' from which monsters constantly spawn and move towards the Cantonment. All monsters are non-aggressive and non-linking, but when monsters arrive at the Cantonment, they will begin attacking it immediately. Monsters cannot be slept, and so they must be tanked or defeated in order to successfully defend the base. Defeating a Bestial Den will reduce the frequency with which monsters are spawned from its location, but not stop the monsters from spawning completely. Smaller maps contain fewer Bestial Dens to eliminate (three dens on a tier I run, with one additional den for each higher tier).

Located in an "Otherwordly" version of Vana'diel, Yorcia Weald (U) is a parallel version of Yorcia Weald in which Skirmishes take place.



Skirmishes

Entry into Yorcia Weald (U) skirmishes is accomplished by having the party leader utilize a Yorcia simulacrum (assembled from three Simulacrum Segments including a Yorcia Visage) at the Augural Conveyor located in Yorcia Weald in the southeast corner of (B-6). All players in the party will be immediately transported to the Skirmish area once entry has been confirmed by the party leader.

There are five Skirmishes that occur within Yorcia Weald (U), dependent on the tier of Faithful's Torso used in assembling the simulacrum. Each Skirmish takes place on a different section of the map, with a slightly larger area for each higher tier. take. Completing the tier V Skirmish by utilizing Faithful's Torso V (primary or secondary objective) in Yorcia Weald (U) will grant the title Weald Exemplar.

Base Defense

The goal of Yorcia Skirmishes is to protect the base, known as a Cantonment. If the base is destroyed, the Skirmish will be failed. Scattered across the Skirmish battlefield, players will find several Bestial Dens from which monsters constantly spawn and move towards the Cantonment. All monsters are non-aggressive and non-linking, but when monsters arrive at the Cantonment, they will begin attacking it immediately. Monsters cannot be slept, and so they must be tanked or defeated in order to successfully defend the base. Defeating a Bestial Den will reduce the frequency with which monsters are spawned from its location, but not stop the monsters from spawning completely. Smaller maps contain fewer Bestial Dens to eliminate (three dens on a tier I run, with one additional den for each higher tier).

Once the primary objective has been completed, and especially within the final five minutes of the secondary objective, monsters will begin to spawn at a higher rate and move with a significant movement speed bonus.

By utilizing a special "Defensive Maneuver" option at Noetic Ascensions, players can construct Stockades (more Stockades are available with higher tier Legs sergments). When a Stockade is present at the base, enemies will always first turn their attention to the Stockade, and will not attack the Cantonment until the Stockade has been eliminated. The Cantonment cannot be healed by player spells, but there is an Defensive Maneuver which allows the Cantonment restoration when using tier III or higher Legs.
