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 (*):
Friday, 24 October, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. (GMT) / 9:00 a.m. (BST) to Monday, 3 November, at 2:59 p.m. (GMT)

* 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.
