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 are bringing back The "Real" Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again event for its third and final appearance!

In conjunction with the event's return, Kam'lanaut has prepared an all-new reward, the Archduke's Shield, as he awaits your challenge. This mighty shield includes the Refresh effect, which following the Archduke's Sword from last time, is a perfect item for both new and veteran adventurers alike!

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