Massive Changes Are Coming to FFXIV’s First Moogle Treasure Trove of 2024
Depending on how you approach them, Final Fantasy XIV’s Moogle Treasure Trove events can be a nightmare of never-ending runs to Praetorium and Aurum Vale or a delightful way to relive dungeons for special goodies. The First Hunt for Genesis, the upcoming event, will have some significant modifications from Square Enix, and it appears that everyone will have a better time.
Typically, Moogle Treasure Trove has a set selection of dungeons that award tomestones, which can be exchanged for fabulous prizes. Since the list of eligible dungeons doesn’t change throughout the events, some players dedicated themselves to repeating the most efficient options over and over until they had enough tomestones or simply gave up. This time around, a rotating set of activities offer bonus rewards, so there’s more reason to switch up your routine.
WORKINGS OF THE FIRST GENESIS HUNT
On January 30, The First Hunt for Genesis will release, introducing a new tracking system for tombstone missions known as the Mogpendium. The most recent hunt features weekly objectives along with Minimog and Ultimog challenges, in addition to the usual objectives, which include the constantly accessible gauntlet of dungeons to run along with a variety of Gold Saucer events and ocean fishing routes. Every one of them will emphasise a distinct FFXIV group activity and award bonus tombstones upon completion.
Weekly goals will, as you have probably anticipated, vary every week during the tournament, which runs through March 11. This goal, which awards bonus milestones once a week, will be selected from the list of standard targets.
The actions that are eligible to receive milestones are expanded by minimog challenges. per player will receive two Minimog tasks per week, but they can only be completed for a reward in one of the two categories. These will not originate from the regular objective list, in contrast to weekly objectives. Rather, they will provide incentives for a variety of activities, such as treasure hunts, hunting board targets, and FATEs. Although Square Enix hasn’t disclosed the entire list of possible Minimog challenges, they appear to be centred towards solo activities as opposed to the weekly and standard goals.
And there are the Ultimog difficulties. The least is known about these unique goals at this time, but Ultimog challenges are a set of tasks that are limited to one completion per event and, according to Square Enix, come with “a sizable tombstone reward.” These will probably consist of more difficult tasks than the Extreme trials and Savage raids that are usually a part of Moogle Treasure Trove events.
Square Enix has released the list of items you may buy with Tomestones of Genesis, but it hasn’t disclosed which specific activities would award them during the event. The event has been extended, however the list of awards that have been made public is actually a little bit shorter than usual. Nevertheless, if you haven’t already added certain rewards to your collection, there are a few that are well worth farming for.
THE BEST PRIZES IN THE EARLY GENESIS SEARCH
The Mameshiba Neckerchief is still only accessible during Moogle Treasure Trove events and costs 100 tomestones. The Titania Barding prise, which is worth 50 tomestones and gives your Chocobo a really attractive set of shimmering fairy wings, is arguably the greatest this time around. Usually, to obtain the resources needed to create this barding, you have to grind the challenging Dancing Plague Extreme trial or spend a lot of money on the market board. It’s also worth getting the Yukinko Snowflake minion, which usually drops from Eureka Hydatos, a famously hard region to farm because it takes a lot of time to travel to.
If you want to avoid grinding rare FATE, you could choose to get the Ultima Horns. If you’re not interested in investing a lot of time in the Ishgardian Reconstruction crafting task, you should definitely consider getting the Modern Legend hairdo, Antelope Doe mount, and Dhalmel mount.
While the prizes from the First Hunt for Genesis may not be the greatest in Moogle Treasure Trove history, it is also the least likely to send you into a deep hole of hopelessness when it comes to farming. If you’re not interested in the prizes, it can be a nice opportunity to check out some of the new features in Final Fantasy XIV and gain some extra rewards.
PlayStation, PC, and Mac users can play Final Fantasy XIV. In 2024, an Xbox version is anticipated to be released.
