Square Enix have announced the return of the Moogle Treasure Trove and Dragon Quest X crossover events for Final Fantasy XIV.
First is the Dragon Quest X event, which first appeared in 2014; with this time being the fifth. “As reported” by The Mythril Eye (an in-universe newspaper), strange golems have been seen roaming the ruins of Belah’dia; and just so happen to look like the Golems in the Dragon Quest series. Made of special materials, Amajin & Sons Mineral Concern are eager to get their hands on them.
From October 19th to November 12th, players can pick up a limited time quest in Ul’Dah, as well as take part in special FATEs in Central Thanalan, Lower La Noscea, Upper La Noscea, Central Shroud, and North Shroud.
Players will be able to obtain a Wind-up Brickman minion, a Thug’s Mug head gear (inspired by the bull-horned muscular NPCs of Dragon Quest), and the King Slime Crown head gear. That’s a crown shaped like a King Slime, not the King Slime’s crown.
In addition, the Moogle Treasure Trove event is back; running twice a year since 2019. Running from October 19th to the launch of Patch 6.0 and the Endwalker expansion (November 23rd), players can obtain Irregular Tomestones from certain duties- dungeons and raids.
In exchange for these Tomestones, players may obtain special items. The highlight is the Inferno Jacket; brand new and unique to the event. As noted by the game’s fan wiki however; many of the other items are usually exclusive to difficult duties, and even then have low drop rates.
For example, players can obtain a few of the Kamuy, Lanner, and Nightmare mounts; which in turn can help earn even rarer mounts for having their complete sets.
Players can also obtain mounts they could usually only buy after becoming trusted by different Beastmen tribes, special furniture that usually requires difficult-to-obtain materials to craft, and a set of Bonewicca armor for magic DPS Jobs (usually only found from The Swallow’s Compass in the Stormblood expansion).
There are also riding maps to increase your mount speed in various areas (when on foot, not when flying), the Griffin Hatchling and Aurelia Polyp minions (the latter being noted as quite lengthy and difficult to obtain), rare Triple Triad cards and Orchestration Rolls, an MGP Platinum Card for 50,000 MGP, and the event-exclusive Magicked Prism (Job Mastery) consumable.
The latter causes three brilliant stars to appear above your head for a short time- much like in Final Fantasy V when a character had mastered a job.
Ignoring the consumable Magicked Prism, players will need to spend 1,229 Irregular Tomestones if they truly wish to buy everything. This would add up to 123 runs of The Paretorium (along with its unskippable cutscenes), or just over 37 runs a day. Though it should be noted players may not wish to obtain everything, and there are plenty of duties to choose from- depending on your main story quest progress.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for Windows PC, Mac (via the SE Store, and Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and still planned for Xbox One. In case you missed it, you can find our Shadowbringers expansion review here (we can’t recommend it enough!)
The Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker expansion launches November 23rd. In case you missed it, we covered all the changes coming with patch 6.0 when Endwalker launches.
