Oizys in FFXIV's Cosmic Exploration

Oizys is the third zone related to Cosmic Exploration which released in patch 7.41 as well as the second planet players have set off to explore in the cosmos. "First detected within the sights of the Stellascope, this mineral-rich planet lies five-and-a-half carrots from Etheirys's star system. Oizys is wracked with gravitational anomalies slowly tearing apart its surface, where shattered rocks float above strange ruins, seemingly left behind by some long-departed civilization."

As part of Cosmic Exploration, Oizys features Crafting and Gathering content for both leveling and endgame players with various missions available. Initially this zone features only a small base camp which will be expanded on over time with the help of players.

Unlocking Oizys

To unlock Oizys, you must complete the quest The Brightest Star using a Lv10 or above DoH/DoL class. Start this quest by speaking to Searchingway in Sinus Ardorum (X:27.2 Y:13.8).

Oizys does not require any relic completion or for you to be at endgame. Oizys features a range of leveling missions and sources of old data types for your relic stages and generally being more approachable than previous planets.
