There have been countless items added to the game over the years, including some that were available via limited-time events that are not scheduled to return or otherwise only featured limited chances to acquire them. Therefore, we have decided to introduce this special opportunity on a trial basis to either make these items available again or provide an easier, limited-time method to obtain them.

This time, in addition to the Cushaw Lantern, Ilm Manillas, and Ilm Lappa, we'll also be adding some items that can be used to weaken the enemies in Dynamis.

The Cushaw Lantern is a furnishing made from a pumpkin, making it the perfect item for the Harvest Festival season. The Ilm Manillas and Ilm Lappa are stylish pieces of gear, and you can complete the Ilm equipment series by searching for pumpkins during the Harvest Festival event as part of the October login campaign. Meanwhile, items such as the Shadescale Talon can be used to weaken the notorious monsters in Dynamis - Buburimu, Dynamis - Valkurm, and Dynamis - Qufim.

Elsewhere, you can once again obtain items like Travesty, a Demonic Axe, a Shadow Lord shirt, and a Shadow Lord statue. Don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on some great items!

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 conducting various events to help mark this special occasion.

This time, we are bringing back “The Shadow Lord's Dominion” event for its third and final appearance!

In conjunction with the event's return, the Cushaw Lantern will be added to the list of items that can be traded for with the Curator Moogle.

Furthermore, following up from the previous appearance of this event, the Shadow Lord has prepared his weapon Travesty as a reward while he awaits your challenge. In addition to the Regain status effect, this great sword also includes the possibility of using weapon skills without consuming TP, so be sure to pick it up 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.
