A renewal of the login campaign system is being conducted from this month.

This is being done for two main reasons.
-----
■ Increase the appeal of login campaigns
- Provide a wider lineup of both fashionable and functional items
- Create an opportunity to easily reacquire items that were previously available
- Make it even easier to obtain certain alter egos

■ Return to a system that rewards regular logins
-----




In order to realize these goals, the following changes will be implemented.


■ Change the amount of points needed for the exchange
It will now be easier to obtain featured and other transformation items that were added in the past, starting with the older ones first. At the same time, a new environment that allows new items to be added will also be created.


■ Item lineup adjustments
The primary method for developing your characters and equipment will be the same as it has always been—playing the in-game content. However, we plan to offer additional ways to obtain upgrade materials and other items. For example, we will add the ability to use Unity accolades when reforging equipment from November 2025.


■ Amount of login points received
In addition to changing the amount of points needed to exchange for items, we have also adjusted the amount of login points that can be received.

Login 1 – 14
Receive 50 points per day.
Login 15
Receive 500 points as a bonus.
Login 16 onward
Receive 100 points per day.


■ Amount of login points that can be carried over to the following month
Starting in October 2025, you can carry over 700 points to the following month.

November brings with it an entrance for entering Dynamis – Divergence solo, new items and adjustments to the spoils for A.M.A.N. Trove, and exclusive spoils for characters that have completed the mission for "The Orb's Radiance" battlefield.

The "Real" Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again - 2nd Session (16/10/2025)

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.

One of those events, The "Real" Archduke of Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight Yet Again, is returning for a second time.

In conjunction with the event's return, Kam'lanaut has prepared an all-new reward, the Archduke's Sword, as he awaits your challenge. This event is specifically designed to let new and veteran adventurers alike participate, so make sure to check it out when you have the time!





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

Event Period (*):

* Since you'll need to increase your level and complete missions in order to take on ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower, we're offering it on three separate occasions (one time each in September, October, and November) 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 was hard for you to participate in the event during October, hopefully you'll be able to take advantage of this third opportunity.

★Return to Delkfutt's Tower 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.

The Harvest Festival is just around the corner, and all adventurers in Vana'diel know what that means — 'tis the season for tricks, treats, and all manner of delightful frights!

Without a doubt, the Harvest Festival is one of the two largest festivals in all of Vana'diel. Search for pumpkins all throughout Vana'diel and take part in the Harvest Festival-themed minigames held in each nation to obtain various rewards.

Play Seasonal Events to Get Items Such as an Archduke's Sword! (17/10/2025)

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 opportunities 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. In addition, this time we are adding multiple new items as well. Among them, the Archduke's Sword is a powerful weapon ideal for both beginners and veterans alike, so we highly recommend acquiring the items needed to trade for one.

Furthermore, following up on Dynamis - Buburimu from last month, this month features a campaign that makes it easier for you to challenge the boss monsters found in Dynamis - Valkurm and Dynamis - Qufim.

■ New items
Archduke's Sword / Ilm Manillas / Ilm Lappa




■ Returning items
Cushaw Lantern


■ Items used to weaken the Dynamis - Valkurm boss monster
Odorless Fungus / Absorbent Moss / Redolent Root


■ Items used to weaken the Dynamis - Qufim boss monster

We are currently planning a renewal of the login campaign system in November 2025. The goal is to make the rewards lineup even more attractive for you adventurers and also to update the points system to give you additional incentive to log in on a regular basis.

One of the main changes will be the amount of login points that can be carried over to the following month. Currently, you can carry over up to 1,500 points, but the limit will be changed to 700 from October, so please keep that in mind when exchanging for items.

Going forward, we plan to make it easier to acquire items that have appeared in the past and also add items that haven't been made available in the rewards lineup before.

The October Version Update Has Landed! (09/10/2025)

As part of our continuing efforts to revise past content and rebalance the character progression arc, we are reducing the waiting period for Coalition Assignment imprimaturs. We are also changing the method for acquiring the Malignance equipment in the "★Maiden of the Dusk" battlefield, thereby making it even easier to take on the various content found in the game.

Furthermore, based on the feedback we have received so far on the status of each World's notorious monster battles and taking into account the planned content of future updates, both the tabulation period for counting the number of notorious monsters defeated in Limbus and the duration of the altered treasure chest have been extended.

Read on for details regarding the version update.
