Final Fantasy 14 is set to shake up its Moogle tomestone events with the introduction of new weekly and event-long challenges. The upcoming event, ‘The First Hunt for Genesis’, will bring a refreshing change to the usual routine, offering players a more diverse and engaging experience.
Traditionally, Moogle Treasure Trove events have provided players with tomestones for specific activities, allowing them to acquire various in-game rewards such as glamour items, mounts, emotes, and hairstyles. However, this often led to players resorting to the quickest and easiest methods to obtain these rewards, sacrificing the enjoyment of the game in the process.
The First Hunt for Genesis event, commencing on January 30, will introduce the Mogpendium, a tool that enables players to track activities that yield tomestones. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to participate in two types of weekly challenges.
The first type, the Weekly Objective, will direct players to existing duties for a bonus batch of tomestones, incentivizing them to explore different in-game activities. This aims to counter the repetitive nature of certain tasks and encourage players to diversify their gameplay experience.
On the other hand, the Minimog Challenges will present players with cryptic tasks, potentially involving side activities such as the Great Hunt, Triple Triad, Fishing, and Treasure Maps. This will encourage players to engage in various non-combat activities within the game world, promoting a more holistic gaming experience.
Furthermore, the event will feature event-long Ultimog Challenges, the details of which are currently shrouded in mystery. However, it is anticipated that these challenges will offer rewards for completing harder Savage or Extreme content, adding an element of excitement and achievement for dedicated players.
This revamp of the Moogle Treasure Trove event is a welcome change, aiming to mitigate the optimization of fun at the expense of gameplay enjoyment. The First Hunt for Genesis will commence on January 30 and continue until March 11, with a second half of the event scheduled before the debut of Dawntrail in the summer.
Final Fantasy 14 players can look forward to a more diverse and rewarding gameplay experience with the upcoming event, as they embark on new challenges and explore different facets of the game world.
