Missions (Final Fantasy XI)/Wings of the Goddess

Wings of the Goddess missions automatically start when the player first examines a Cavernous Maw in Rolanberry Fields, Batallia Downs or Sauromugue Champaign.

Wings of the Goddess missions are actually 4 distinct storylines that run parallel to one another. One is the main story arc (the official missions), and the other 3 are a storyline series of quests based on Bastok, Windurst and San d'Oria during the Crystal War. Players are required to progress through 1 of these nation quest lines (of their choice) in order to continue in the main story.

As mission completion unlocks the quests, and then vice versa, players will have to alternate between two storylines in order to finish both of them. The remaining 2 quest lines are entirely optional and can be taken on concurrently, left until after the missions have been completed, or not attempted at all.

The shorthand prefix given by players for Wings of the Goddess missions is WotG.
