      The beloved Moogle Treasure Trove event makes its return in February! Hunt for Phantasmagoria and get your Paissa Earring, Inferno Jacket, and more!
      While we wait for patch 7.2 End of March, you will have plenty of activities to do with the New Moogle Treasure Trove Event!
      The Moogle Treasure Trove: Hunt for Phantasmagoria, will start on Wednesday, 26 February 2025 at 8:00 GMT (19:00 AEDT), and end at the release of Patch 7.2 scheduled for End-March.
      Please note that dates and times are subject to change, and it may take up to 10 minutes after the stated time for the event to commence in-game. This event may also be suspended without warning.
      During the event, you will be able to collect Phantasmagoria Tomestones by completing specific duties and activities, and exchange them for rare and exclusive items, such as:
      The Paissa Earring Shadow Gwiber Mount The Inferno Jacket Magicked Bed Mount Hairstyles Emotes other various mounts minions and much more
      This event is a great opportunity for all players to enjoy various content and activities you usually do not dedicate too much time to.
      During the event, you will have access to your Mogpendium:

      The Mogpendium has all the details needed for collecting Tomestones. Instead of merely having several types of dungeons to farm, you will have multiple ways to obtain the Phantasmagoria Tomestones:
      Standard Objectives: this is the regular way of earning Tomestones. Simply complete the required duties (which will feature a moogle icon in the duty finder) Additionally, you can now also get tomestones from GATEs (the Gold Saucer events) and Ocean Fishing routes. However, keep in mind that Tomestones are not rewarded when using adventurer squadrons or duty support, as the Level Sync option must be used for unrestricted parties. You will also need to score at least 1200 points when ocean fishing to earn Tomestones. Weekly Objectives: Weekly objectives will be assigned to each player, and updated every Tuesday at 8:00am (GMT). You can check your weekly objectives through the Mogpendium, and completing them will earn you additional Tomestones. Minimog Challenges: You will have to select one of two objectives, which can only be fulfilled once every week. It's a way to complete a variety of challenges during the event that you wouldn't normally do. Minimog challenges will also reset on Tuesday at 08:00 am (GMT). Ultimog Challenges: These challenges can only be completed once during the duration of the event. They will give you a significant amount of tomestones, so it is worth trying your luck! You can check the Mogpendium at any given time during the event. Standard Objective rewards are automatically added to your inventory when you complete the duties, while the Weekly, Minimog and Ultimog Challenges will have to be claimed through the Mogpendium.
      Once you have enough Tomestones, head to the usual Itinerant Moogle to exchange them for rewards! You can find one near the main Crystal in each of the starting cities: Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks, New Gridania, and Ul’dah Steps of Nald.

      For more information, and the complete list of rewards you can obtain, visit the Official Moogle Treasure Trove Page.
      Moreover, should you need some help with your hunts, check out our Moogle Treasure Trove Event Guide, where you can find specific routes or duties to farm, as well as the most efficient ways to do so!
