High-Tier Battlefields

The High-Tier Battlefields (HTBF) bring the classic mission boss fights back as repeatable, scaled endgame content. Each battlefield is a retail story-boss encounter — Avatar Primes, the Chains of Promathia bosses, the Ark Angels, and more — rebuilt with three difficulty tiers so you can climb from a warm-up clear to a genuine wall.

Entry is gated by a Phantom Gem key item, bought for gil from one NPC at !hub. Buy the gem for the fight you want, warp to the entrance from the same vendor, trade it, and choose your tier. Clears pay out gil and Hunt Marks that scale with the tier, plus a chance at retail-style spoils from the treasure chest.

Summary

Repeatable, tier-scaled versions of the classic mission boss battlefields. Buy a Phantom Gem with gil at !hub, warp to the entrance from the same vendor, pick a tier (I / II / III), and win for scaling gil + Hunt Mark rewards.

Getting in

One NPC at !hub — the Phantom Gems vendor Purgonorgo Isle. Buy a Phantom Gem (gil, key item; the menu is grouped by expansion), then pick Warp to a Battlefield on the same vendor to teleport to that fight's entrance. Trade the gem at the entrance and choose a difficulty tier (I / II / III).

You can only hold one gem of a given type at a time, and entering a battlefield consumes it -- buy a fresh gem for each attempt.

Entry requirements

High-Tier Battlefields are endgame-gated. Holding the gem is not enough -- to enter, on the job you are entering with you must:

1. Have mastered that job -- 2,100 Job Points spent (every JP gift unlocked; the job must be level 99). This is checked against your current main job, so master the job you intend to fight on.
2. Have registered all 11 NM affinities at the Augment Sage.

If you fall short, the fight won't appear in the battlefield menu and the entrance tells you exactly what you're missing.

Phantom Gems

Each battlefield needs its own Phantom Gem. The vendor groups them by expansion:

Expansion	Phantom Gem	Price
Avatar Prime Trials	Avatar Phantom Gem	50,000 gil
Chains of Promathia	Savage's Phantom Gem	100,000 gil
Chains of Promathia	Warrior's Path Phantom Gem	100,000 gil
Chains of Promathia	Feared One Phantom Gem	150,000 gil
Chains of Promathia	Head Wind Phantom Gem	100,000 gil
Chains of Promathia	Dawn Phantom Gem	200,000 gil
Treasures of Aht Urhgan	Puppet in Peril Phantom Gem	120,000 gil
Treasures of Aht Urhgan	Legacy Phantom Gem	120,000 gil
Rise of the Zilart	Shadow Lord Phantom Gem	150,000 gil
Rise of the Zilart	Return to Delkfutt's Tower Phantom Gem	150,000 gil
Rise of the Zilart	Celestial Nexus Phantom Gem	200,000 gil
Rise of the Zilart	Divine Phantom Gem	200,000 gil
Ark Angels	Phantom Gem of Apathy	150,000 gil
Ark Angels	Phantom Gem of Cowardice	150,000 gil
Ark Angels	Phantom Gem of Envy	150,000 gil
Ark Angels	Phantom Gem of Arrogance	150,000 gil
Ark Angels	Phantom Gem of Rage	150,000 gil

Difficulty tiers

Every battlefield is offered at three tiers. Higher tiers crank up the boss's HP, offense, and resistances — and pay out far more:

Tier	Difficulty	Reward
Tier I	A lightly-buffed take on the base fight — the entry tier. (~3× HP)	20,000 gil + 30 Hunt Marks
Tier II	A serious step up in toughness and incoming damage. (~7× HP)	75,000 gil + 75 Hunt Marks
Tier III	The wall — vastly more HP and punishing offense. (~14× HP)	150,000 gil + 150 Hunt Marks

A win also spawns a treasure chest. The drops are deliberately modest crafting spoils on common clears, with the rare retail gear kept genuinely scarce — these fights are repeatable, so the gil and Hunt Marks are the real payout.

Battlefield drops

Every win spawns a treasure chest. All three tiers of a fight share the same drop pool — the tiers differ in difficulty and gil/Hunt-Mark payout, not loot. One item always drops from the common column; the rare gear is a separate, much slimmer roll, so most clears drop none — that keeps retail gear genuinely scarce on repeatable content. Chances shown are per clear.
