Congratulations on achieving 150% of the Vana'Bout - Round 10 target goal!

In recognition of everyone's accomplishment, we are adding a new Phantom Gem Campaign that will help you take on high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields.

Once per day, you may obtain a phantom gem (*) of your choice from the specified Phantom Gems Boxes during the campaign period.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on the various powerful foes that await you within the high-tier mission battlefields.

* Phantom gems are key items needed to enter high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields. There are phantom gems that correspond to both types of battlefields (e.g. pentacide perpetrator phantom gem / avatar phantom gem).

Campaign Period:
Monday, September 14, 2026, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, October 12, 2026, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
* This entry will be included as part of the Seeking Fortune & Glory! Experience and Bounty Campaign.

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...

Also, collecting bovine brands and giving them to the moogle lets you earn up to one #FES dial key per Earth day that can be used with the Gobbie Mystery Box. The #FES dial key allows you to use the Festival Dial, which contains spoils from content such as high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields.

Announcing the Next Version Update.

As part of the third round of upgrades to the Trust magic system, the September version update will increase the maximum number of alter ego points that can be allocated to each category. The update will also raise the level cap from 50 to 75 for characters created under the Free Trial.

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 the occasion.

One of these events will be the return of the well-known "Day of the Shadow Lord" seasonal event, once again under the name of "The Shadow Lord's Dominion."

As part of this event, equipment based on the Shadow Lord's storied weapons will be available as spoils for completing the ★Rank 5 Mission battlefield!


Furthermore, as an added bonus, the Curator Moogle will have some Shadow Lord-themed items making their return.

======
Event Period (*):
Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)

* 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 (this one, as well as once in September and also 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 other two opportunities.

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.
