Final Fantasy XI Feast of Swords Returns in April

Square Enix announced the next Final Fantasy XI event is the Feast of Swords, and it seems like the 2025 edition may be identical to past iterations of the FFXI seasonal activity. It always happens around the second half of April and beginning of May, starting from its 2005 debut. This time, we can take part between April 22, 2025 and May 10, 2025. To start the Feast of Swords, you need to talk to a Moogle in one of six locations to get an Ibushi Shinai. Here are the spots where you’ll find them: Bastok Markets (G-8) Bastok Mines (H-9) Northern San d’Oria (D-8) Southern San d’Oria (J-9) Windurst Waters (F-5) Windurst Woods (K-10) Once you have that sword, you need to visit another Moogle to imbue it with magic so you can fight the armor enemies, such as the Omodaka Armor, and earn points for your assault. To start that second portion and enter into the fight, you need to go to one of the NPC mascots at the places below: Batallia Downs (K-8) East Ronfaure (G-6) East Sarutabaruta (G-11) Jugner Forest (I-8) Konschtat Highlands (I-6) La Theine Plateau (J-8) Meriphataud Mountains (E-5) North Gustaberg (L-8) Pashhow Marshlands (K-6) Rolanberry Fields (K-5) Sauromugue Champaign (E-5) South Gustaberg (L-8) Tahrongi Canyon (I-6) West Ronfaure (I-6) West Sarutabaruta (J-8) As in the past, after beating the enemies, you need to trade your points to the character remaining with a “???” overhead. You’ll then get a reward. The announcement didn’t specify which rewards will be part of the 2025 Feast of Swords event in Final Fantasy XI. However, if it follows past patterns, we have an idea of what it might involve. In the past, the amount of points earned would sometimes influence what we’d get. So some of the lower-rank items would be Elvaan, Galka, Hume, or Tarutaru Mochi. Some of the better rewards in the past included a Shobuhouou Kabuto, Hardwood Katana, and Katana-kazari. Final Fantasy XI is available on PCs, and the Feast of Swords event runs in FFXI between April 22, 2025 and May 10, 2025. Other updates, including new single-player options, are planned for the game for 2025. The post Final Fantasy XI Feast of Swords Returns in April appeared first on Siliconera.
