Final Fantasy XII Sidequests

Ann and the Skyferry Sisters

You can begin this sidequest once the party can travel freely by Skyferry after Dreadnought Leviathan, but you cannot visit all seven routes until Balfonheim Port is available. Waiting until the Deathgaze hunt saves some repetition because that hunt already sends you through the Aerodromes.

Expect to spend roughly 2,000 to 5,000 gil on flights, depending on when you begin and how many routes overlap with other errands. The reward is a AccessoryAdds 6 Defense and 5 Magick Resist and keeps the wearer under Regen..
