Skirmishes & Critical Engagements
FFXIV Bozja Guide Tips & Tricks
There are several ways to get Mettle and raise your Resistance Rank. The main ways are to engage in Skirmishes and Critical Engagements.
While out on the Bozja Southern Front you’ll come across enemies, of course, but also special events. Skirmishes are essentially a fancy way of saying FATEs. You can join in on these, and you’ll gain EXP and Mettle at the end depending on your contributions. Simple enough.
Critical Engagements are a little different. While in the zone, you’ll get requests to join in on a battle, which will appear on screen while playing.
You have the option to sign up for them, and if you get in, you’ll be taken somewhere else on the map into a Trial-like environment with other players. Completing these Critical Engagements will earn you lots of EXP and Mettle, so get in on them when you can. Opening up the map will gain you access to new ones as well.
Getting around and engaging in stuff like Skirmishes, fortunately, isn’t a pain this time. You can mount up in Bozja right away unlike Eureka. Make sure to take advantage of that and get around quickly.
You can change jobs and form groups at any time while doing Bozja, but if you’re on your own, you’ll want to take advantage of Lost Actions.
