Episode Skip (Clear Tickets)
Don't feel like grinding through old story questlines just to unlock the content gated behind them? The Valkyrie can seal a finished chapter for you. Buy the matching Episode Clear Ticket, hand it over, and every NPC, warp, and instance locked behind that episode opens up — no questline required.

One ticket clears the entire episode (both sub-episodes where they exist).
How It Works
- Talk to the Valkyrie. She lists every episode with its status.
- Pick the episode you want to seal (you need its ticket in your bag and to meet the level requirement).
- Confirm. The ticket is consumed and the chapter is marked complete.
Each episode in the menu shows one of:
- [Complete] — you already finished it; nothing to seal.
- [ticket ready] — you have the ticket and can seal it now.
- [no ticket] — you still need to buy the ticket.
Rules
- You can skip even if you're partway through. Started an episode and lost patience? You can still seal it — your existing progress just becomes part of the finished record, and any leftover quest entries are cleaned up.
- Episodes 13, 14, 15 and 16 are independent — seal them in any order.
- Episodes 17, 18 and 19 continue the story — you must complete (or seal) the previous one first: 16 → 17 → 18 → 19.
- No EXP or rewards are granted — only the quest progress is completed. (Episode 13 additionally hands you the Ring of the Wise King, which you must wear to talk to the Manuk/Splendide/Sapha NPCs, plus the El Dicastes return warp. Episodes 18 and 19 grant the reputation the story itself forces: 1,000 Grey Wolf Village rep and 245 Isgard rep respectively — higher tiers stay a daily grind.)
- Skips only affect your character — other characters on your account need their own tickets.
Tips
- Daily camps unlock too. Sealing Episode 17, 18 or 19 also opens every daily-quest hub the
chapter gates (Juslan's Merc vs Merc, Aas's To Rudus, the Barmund mansion dailies, Budan &
Ezekiel, Berbergand and more). If you sealed a chapter before August 13 and a daily NPC still
turns you away, talk to the Valkyrie again, pick that
[Complete]episode, and take the free "Re-open the daily camps" option. - Sealed Episode 17 before September 7, 2026? The Barmil Library, Boiler/Sweep and Chirp dailies stayed locked for skippers (the daily NPCs check story progress that the seal did not set). Run the free "Re-open the daily camps" once and they open.
- Friederike's saint/sea side-story dailies are the exception — those side chains are meant to be progressed naturally after the skip.
- Skipping to Episode 19's content still expects you to be base level 200+ to run its daily instances.
- Reputation-gated shops (Hoyoyo's petal trader, etc.) still require you to grind Isgard reputation from the Episode 19 dailies and Airship Destruction runs — the skip doesn't hand you the higher reputation tiers.
