Oizys Overview, Mission List and Advice in Cosmic Exploration
Oizys is the third planet Final Fantasy 14's Cosmic Exploration. This page provides all the information you may need to know about Oizys including how it works, difficult missions and any unique mechanics.
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.
