The next special weapon quest begins!

Final Fantasy XIV Online’s Patch 5.25 update arrives today, which introduces the “Save the Queen” quest series – a new adventure featuring a story written by Yasumi Matsuno (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII), who also penned the narrative for the wildly popular Return to Ivalice raid series.

This latest update includes additional new content for crafters and gatherers, as well as new battle content tied to the new weapon enhancement quest series:

Players can experience new Resistance Weapon Quest Battles consisting of multiple boss fights, with progress being saved as you advance.
  • New “Extreme” Difficulty Trial – Parties of eight players can challenge this new challenging trial battle.
  • Crafter and Gatherer Content: “Skysteel Tools” – This new questline will allow Disciples of the Land and Hand to upgrade their Skysteel Tools into even more powerful versions. This questline will also receive subsequent updates in future patches, allowing players to further upgrade these tools.
  • New Items, Recipes, Furnishings, and more.

Players can also participate in the seasonal event, Hatching-tide 2020, which ends on April 13. This special event offers players limited-time rewards, including two bunny costumes and new housing items.
