When entering the map you will be randomly ported to one of the outer four islands. The target location switches every minute. So if you want to meet your party reliably there, everyone should meet in Laksy and enter the map together.

Skyfortress Field

On every spawn island a Skyfortress Scout will greet you. The Scout offers several quests to help you out with experience points and will be your contact person for adding and rerolling random effection options to your sky accessories. The offered Quests are also a source for the Alkahest item.

While exploring the area you will find different races of monsters:

• Insect: Princess Ant, Guard Ant, Ghost Ant, Cutie Larva, Sprite Beetle and Brown Beetle
• Spirit: Naypin
• Beast: Axe Turtle, Red Buffalo, Blue Buffalo
• Devil: Redeyed Troll Hunter(Boss), Cruel Troll Hunter(Boss), Devil Skeleton(Boss)

Drops

Besides regular items like potions and cubes, these mobs drop the main materials needed for crafting, upgrading or buying everything regarding sky accessories:

• Luciad Medals
• Sky Pearls
• Sky Chaos Stone Fragments

Bosscards

Three bosses are located on the skyfortress map. Cruel- and Red Eye - Troll Hunter are mini bosses while the Devil Skeleton is the main boss. Randomly one of the mini bosses will spawn at xx:00, so on the hour, in one of the four buffalo spots. After killing it the main boss, Devil Skeleton, will spawn in the center of the map.

The three bossmonsters have a small chance to drop a bosscard in addition to all drops already mentioned. These cards will provide you the following bonus when equipped in your belt:

There is also a new collection for each of the cards available. You need to hand over three cards each to the blackmarket NPC to unlock the respective bonus:

Sky Items

Sky Chaos Stone

The Sky Chaos Stone is the core item of the set. Without it you wont receive any set bonus. This item will be equipped in the old booster item slot and will increase your lak gain by 100%.

It is also needed to upgrade your existing chaosstone. Use the enchant window and enchant your level10+10 chaos stone with a sky chaos stone. This will result in a level20+10 chaos stone and increase the lak capacity by 10.000 to 120.000. A level20+10 chaos stone can be further enchanted with sky chaos stone fragments up to lvl20+20, resulting in a maximum capacity of 220.000 lak.

Accessories

Sky necklace, earrings and rings will be upgraded from existing items. Base items used for this upgrade will keep all of their previous stats and awakenings and can be of the following types:

• Red Spider Circus Accessories
• Rings from the Island of Forgotten Gods
• Yushiva Necklace and Earring

The sky accessories have four upgrade tier and you need to craft the following items to upgrade one of the mentioned base items:

As seen in the table the upgrade order is Topaz → Lazuli → Azurite → Saphhire. The base stats and level requirement of the items will increase with the upgrade tier. Upgrading an item to the next higher tier has 100% success rate and needs one item of the corresponding tier.

Setbonus

A full Sky-Set consists of 6 items all together. It will replace the yushiva bonus as necklace and errings use the same equipment slots. Meeting certain Threshholds of equipped sky items unlocks the sky set bonus which are staggered as following:

• Sky Chaos Stone + Necklace
• Sky Chaos Stone + Necklace + Earrings
• Sky Chaos Stone + Necklace + Earrings + Rings

Unlocking a new stage of the set-bonus will add the new stats to the already unlocked bonusses. The complete Set-Bonus has the following stats:

Sky specific stats

Once accessories are upgraded to at least topaz, first tier of sky upgrades, it opens new possabilites to add stats to the accessories. All previoues identified stats and awakenings will remain on the items during all upgrade processes.

Base stats

Once an accessory piece is upgraded to at least topaz tier, one type of base stat(no luck) can be added to the item. This will require an essence of the desired stat and an embuement ore. Imbuement Ores and receipes for each stat can be bought at the Luciad Executive Officer near rondo citadel for luciad medals.

From these receipes you need to craft essences for the stat you want to add to your sky accessory piece by using the combine window:

With the crafted essences you can now add one base stat to the sky item. This can be done at any upgrade tier and up to +9, resulting in +90(+10 each enchant) of the chosen stat. The upgrade is done in enchant window. It can fail but a failure will not break the item.

Random Effect Option

Once the upgrade tier of an accessory pieces reaches lazuli another effect option can be added to the item. Equip the item you want to add an effection option and visit a Skyfortress Scout on one of the four spawn islands.

Select Sky accessories upgrade → add → accessory slot of the item you want to add an effect option.

Adding an effect option is free of charge and can be done for each of the upgrade tiers: lazuli, azurite and sapphire, meaning you can add three effect options in total.

After adding the effect option you might not be satisfied with the roll you got. The Skyfortress Scout offers a service to reroll the last applied effect option.

Visit the NPC → Sky accessory upgrade → change → accessory slot of the item you want to change an effect option.

This will cost one sky upgrade item of the current tier of the accessory(lazuli, azurite or sapphire) and one alkahest. Make sure to reroll the effect option on the current upgrade tier until you are satisfied with it. Once upgrade to the next tier the previous effect can NOT be rerolled anymore.
