General Introduction
This is my Guide to Sky, based on soloing, low-manning, regular 4+ hour runs weekly, etc. I have a quick primer for access at the bottom of the page, but it's relatively easy, with only one moderate BCNM fight and a long fetch quest.
Details
Accessing Sky
First, you do the ZM to get access, in theory. Then you have two different ways of getting up there.
Zilart Missions
Technically, you need Rank 6 in your Home Nation first. That's fairly simple, especially if you have a job at 75 and/or have friends that want you to help in Sky. ZM-13 gives access to Sky. ZM-4 and ZM-6 are Battlefields where having 5 friends, one of you a BLM75, really helps. Headstone Pilgrimage, or ZM-5, is the long fetch, involving 6 different remote areas.
Running to Sky
Short version: Outpost Teleportation to Li'Telor, head west and north to Ro'Maeve, Sneak up and head north to Hall of the Gods while watching out for magic aggro. From there, it's a straight-shot. However, without +Move items, it's still going to take you around 20 minutes at best.
Mini-quest Teleporting
This is the alternate and, for whm or /whm at least, faster way to get to Sky via one of the three Crags.
After getting access to Sky & CoP 8-3, reset your title to "Warrior of the Crystal", which is the CoP 8-3 title.
Head to Sky and the mini-transporters to the east or west of The Portico ((G-9) and (I-9)) to 'register your data'. Step onto the portal, wait for the message and then "Use Portal".
Now buy a Clear Chip from a Goblin Merchant in one of the starting cities. Warning: It costs 21k.
Finally, anytime you need to head to Sky, head to the Promyvion entrance at a Crag, step onto the Larger Transporter, and insert the Clear Chip into the slot.
Again, warning: This can break the Chip.
