Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) just release details about its Halloween event. Read on to learn more about the FFXIV Halloween event, including its duration and its rewards.

The Halloween event for this year is entitled “All Saints' Wake: March of the Mischievous Costume Cortege”. It is the Halloween seasonal event of the critically-acclaimed MMORPG. It runs from Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at 1:00 AM PDT, to Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at 7:59 AM PDT.

FFXIV Halloween event details

To start the event, the player must have a character leveled to at least level 15. This gives players access to airships, which allow them access to Old Gridania. New players who started in Gridania (those who chose Archer, Lancer, or Conjurer as their starting class) only need to reach level 15 to start the event. The quest giver, known as the Adventurers' Guild Investigator, is located in Old Gridania at coordinates (X:10.3, Y:9.1). This NPC will give the quest “A Mad Masquerade”

The quest involves helping the Adventurers' Guild Investigator in promoting the event. You can do this by turning into a monster using a potion. The monsters range from scary, to adorable, as can be seen below.

However, things might not be as they seem, as you will soon find out. After completing the quest, the players will be able to receive the following rewards:

  • Glamour pieces
    • Wake Doctor's Mask
    • Wake Doctor's White Coat
    • Wake Doctor's Rubber Gloves
    • Wake Doctor's Bottoms
    • Wake Doctor's Shoes

Players will also get access to a vendor that sells the following things:

  • Emote:
    • Eat Pumpkin Cookie – 2,500 Gil
  • Tabletop Furniture
    • Caged Wisp – 2,000 Gil
  • Magicked Prism
    • Pumpkin – 2 Gil each

Other than this, players will also be able to access a special area, where they can dress up as some of the NPCs they've met throughout their FFXIV journey. Players should be careful though as they might see players dressed up as NPCs from Expansions they have not finished yet.

This event also arrives just a day after the 6.25 patch of FFXIV's latest expansion, Endwalker. This patch introduces various new features, such as a whole new set of glamour, and a new Beast tribe. This patch also introduces the next part of the Hildibrand quest line, as well as the next step for the expansion's Relic Weapon. Other than that, this patch includes the all-new Variant and Criterion dungeons, designed to challenge even the most hardcore of players.

Other than these new features, FFXIV can expect a new Data Center to open for North America, called Dynamis.  This will go online on November 1, 2022.
