With the arrival of new events, there's now a powerful incentive to dive back into the Final Fantasy XIV and get some exclusive rewards that would otherwise be hard to come by. Moogle Treasure Trove: The Second Hunt for Genesis is available now, kicking off on Tuesday, May 14, and running until Monday, June 24. If you're looking for events before the release of Dawntrail, this one is perfect for you.
How To Start This Event?
To begin this limited-time event, players must first locate one of the various Itinerant Moogle NPCs scattered throughout the world. There are 3 different locations where these NPCs can be found, and I have listed all of them:
- Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks
- New Gridania
- Ul’dah - Steps of Nald
Once you visit one of these locations, you will be able to obtain the Mogpendium, which is required for this event. Additionally, you can exchange the Irregular Tomestone of Genesis you collect for various prizes with these NPCs.
How To Get Irregular Tomestone Of Genesis?
The core of the FFXIV Moogle Treasure Trove Event 2024 is to collect the Irregular Tomestone of Genesis, a new currency introduced to this event. These Tomestones can be exchanged for new mounts, minions, and other rewards. To earn these Tomestones, players need to complete four different types of objectives:
- Standard Objectives: Basic duties such as dungeons, GATEs in the Gold Saucer, and ocean fishing.
- Weekly Objectives: Timed missions are available once per week, offering a substantial number of Tomestones.
- Minimog Challenges: Weekly challenges that provide a significant amount of Tomestones.
- Ultimog Challenges: These are one-time challenges per player for the entire event, but they yield the most Tomestones.
Each submenu contains a list of tasks, duties, and activities that you can participate in daily or weekly to earn Tomestones. Each duty and event contains information on how many Irregular Tomestones of Genesis you can obtain for its completion, so make sure to check each thing individually, depending on what you like to do.
This is a very welcome change compared to the previous ways of obtaining Tomestones, as you can do so without going out of your way. You can choose between them, and there's no need to endlessly repeat certain dungeons or duties if that’s not something you're interested in.
Standard objectives can be completed repeatedly, whereas weekly objectives, as the name suggests, can be done once a week. Minimog challenges also happen weekly, but are slightly different. Ultimog challenges are unique in that they can only be completed once per event, but they offer a substantial amount of Tomestones.
Event Rewards
There are plenty of new rewards introduced with the Moogle Treasure Trove system this time around.
Emerald Carbuncle Earring
One of the most exciting rewards is the Emerald Carbuncle Earring, the most expensive item available, costing 100 Irregular Tomestone of Genesis. Despite its small size, this earring is a Moogle Treasure Trove exclusive, making this event the only opportunity for players to obtain it.
Mounts
Mounts serve as personal transportation in FFXIV, coming in various sizes and appearances. They are typically rewarded for completing special quests, defeating powerful bosses, or engaging in specific grinding activities.
While some mounts can only be obtained by completing challenges, others are tradeable and can be sold on the market board to players willing to spend FFXIV Gil. The mount rewards available from the Second Hunt for Genesis are the Ufiti, Auspicious Kamuy, Direwolf, Rose Lanner, Gabriel Alpha, Gullfaxi.
Minions
Minions are miniature creatures that accompany players in open world areas, often act as in-game enemies. Similar to mounts, minions are typically obtained by fulfilling unique requirements, such as completing significant quests, receiving them as rare drops from bosses or dungeons, or purchasing them with specialized currency.
Some minions can be traded between players and sold on the market board, while others must be earned directly by the players themselves. The minions available from the Second Hunt for Genesis include: Behemoth Heir, Domakin and Petit Pteranodon.
Other Rewards
While mounts and minions are among the most popular collectible items in FFXIV, the Moogle Treasure Trove offers much more. Players can obtain Orchestrion Rolls featuring music from the game, Triple Triad cards showcasing characters from the Final Fantasy franchise and beyond, fashion accessories that allow players to adorn themselves with unique embellishments in open world areas, and more.
