In celebration of the third installment of Echoes of Vana'diel (Windurst: The Third Walk) being added to FINAL FANTASY XIV as part of Patch 7.5, FFXI is also introducing various events to help mark this special occasion.
Of those events, we will soon be launching the second session of the event known as The Shadow Lord's Dominion.
In conjunction with the event's return, the Shadow Lord has prepared an all-new reward, Travesty, as he awaits your challenge. In addition to the Regain status effect, it occasionally prevents TP consumption when using weapon skills, making this weapon highly versatile in combat. So, make sure to check it out when you have the time!
Note: The Travesty item has been left with the Curator Moogle. Once the event has started, make sure to check the items needed for the trade.
Furthermore, there are some additional Shadow Lord-themed items making their return as well.

* 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 third and final opportunity next month.
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 new items to each event session that can be obtained from the Curator Moogle.
