A Shantotto Ascension starts when a player on a job of at least level 10 zones into Windurst Walls from either Windurst Woods or Windurst Waters with the add-on purchased. Unlike expansion missions, story add-on missions may be repeated by players for rewards. Players who do not have progress in these missions or have yet to purchase the add-ons are still able to assist others in clearing them. The shorthand prefix given by players for A Shantotto Ascension missions is ASA.
