The "Real" Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again - 2nd Session (10/16/2025)

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.

One of those events, The "Real" Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again, is returning for a second time.

In conjunction with the event's return, Kam'lanaut has prepared an all-new reward, the Archduke's Sword, as he awaits your challenge. This event is specifically designed to let new and veteran adventurers alike participate, so make sure to check it out when you have the time!





Note: The Archduke's Sword has been left with the Curator Moogle. Once the event has started, make sure to check the items needed for the trade.

Event Period (*):
Friday, October 24, 2025, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, November 3, at 6:59 a.m. (PST)

* Since you'll need to increase your level and complete missions in order to take on ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower, we're offering it on three separate occasions (one time each in September, October, and November) 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 was hard for you to participate in the event during October, hopefully you'll be able to take advantage of this third opportunity.

★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 items to each event session that can be obtained from the Curator Moogle.

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.

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...
