We are currently planning a renewal of the login campaign system in November 2025. The goal is to make the rewards lineup even more attractive for you adventurers and also to update the points system to give you additional incentive to log in on a regular basis.

One of the main changes will be the amount of login points that can be carried over to the following month. Currently, you can carry over up to 1,500 points, but the limit will be changed to 700 from October, so please keep that in mind when exchanging for items.

Going forward, we plan to make it easier to acquire items that have appeared in the past and also add items that haven't been made available in the rewards lineup before.

The October Version Update Has Landed! (10/09/2025)

As part of our continuing efforts to revise past content and rebalance the character progression arc, we are reducing the waiting period for Coalition Assignment imprimaturs. We are also changing the method for acquiring the Malignance equipment in the "★Maiden of the Dusk" battlefield, thereby making it even easier to take on the various content found in the game.

Furthermore, based on the feedback we have received so far on the status of each World's notorious monster battles and taking into account the planned content of future updates, both the tabulation period for counting the number of notorious monsters defeated in Limbus and the duration of the altered treasure chest have been extended.

The Shadow Lord's Dominion – 2nd Session (09/19/2025)

In celebration of the second installment of Echoes of Vana'diel (San d'Oria: The Second Walk) being added to FINAL FANTASY XIV as part of its collaboration with FINAL FANTASY XI, FFXI is also bringing back three of its previous events.

Of those events, we will soon be launching the second session of the event known as The Shadow Lord's Dominion.

As part of this event, equipment based on the Shadow Lord's storied weapons will be available as spoils for completing the ★Rank 5 Mission battlefield!



Furthermore, as an added bonus, the Curator Moogle will have some previous items from The Shadow Lord's Dominion making their return.



======
Event Period*:
Friday, September 26, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Wednesday, October 8, at 7:59 a.m.
======

* Since you'll need to increase your level and complete missions in order to take on the ★Rank 5 Mission, we're offering it on three separate occasions (one time each in August, September, and October) so that as many adventurers as possible can enjoy the content.

Please note that there will be no changes to the spoils you can earn from the battlefield on these three occasions.
If it's hard for you to complete the mission during this month, hopefully you'll be able to take advantage of the opportunity in October.

This ★Rank 5 Mission can be attempted by up to six players. Whether you're working together with your fellow linkshell members or taking advantage of this unique opportunity to team up with other adventurers, we hope that everyone is able to enjoy the content that we have prepared. To that end, we also plan to add returning items to each event session that can be obtained from the Curator Moogle.

Blazing Buffaloes (09/16/2025)

It's that time of year again, as the Blazing Buffaloes event stampedes its way into Vana'diel for a limited time only!

The Mog House Management Union has secretly launched a new enterprise, calling it The Buffalo Bonanza Ranch. Capture the wild buffaloes that were raised in the snow-capped mountains and raise them to be kind and gentle in order to help line the moogles' pockets! Or at least that was the plan, until everything went amiss...

Event Period:
Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Wednesday, October 8, at 7:59 a.m.

The 'Real' Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again (09/12/2025)

In celebration of the second installment of Echoes of Vana'diel (San d'Oria: The Second Walk) being added to FINAL FANTASY XIV as part of Patch 7.3, FFXI is also bringing back three previous events.

This time, we have made some revisions to the event "Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again" and renamed it "The 'Real' Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again."

As part of this event, equipment based on Kam'lanaut's beloved weapon and shield, as well as the "sheet of Jeuno tunes" key item will be available as spoils for completing the ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower battlefield!





Furthermore, as an added bonus, the Curator Moogle will have some Kam'lanaut items making their return.

If it's hard for you to complete the mission during September, we hope you'll be able to take advantage of one of the other opportunities instead.

★Return to Delkfutt's Tower can be attempted by up to six players. Whether you're working together with your fellow linkshell members or taking advantage of this unique opportunity to team up with other adventurers, we hope that everyone is able to enjoy the content that we have prepared. To that end, we also plan to add new returning items to each iteration of the event that can be traded for with the Curator Moogle.
