PATCH 5.1

Alliance Raid Dungeon

YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse

The Copied Factory

Machina indistinguishable from men in appearance, speech, demeanor─anyone in Norvrandt would dismiss such an idea as the fantastical ramblings of drunken dwarves. The discovery of a white-clad woman identifying herself as an "android," however, may call everything that has long been believed about technology into question...

PATCH 5.1

New Dungeon

The Grand Cosmos

Long ago, on the far shore of the Source, a great palace was built by the elves─the Grand Cosmos, an edifice of such magnitude it was said to inspire envy in both the heavens for which it was named and the flowers that pervade its boundless gardens. As with so many wonders of the world that once was, its radiance quickly faded in the wake of the Flood, its halls falling silent, the throne sitting empty. That is, until the palace was given new purpose when a mage claimed it as their sanctuary, their only company being solace, solitude, and the legion of familiars barring entrance to any foolish enough to seek an audience.

Trials

The Minstrel's Ballad: Hades's Elegy

Hearken unto a requiem for a hero fallen. A man who lived a thousand thousand of our lives clinging desperately to faint hope, never shirking his sworn duty to his long-lost brethren. A man who stood proud and did avow his true name on the threshold of the battle that would see him fall to his rival─the light to quench his shadow. Borrowing liberally from the funereal rites of the Night's Blessed, the minstreling wanderer weaves an elegy in that hero's honor─the tragic yet triumphant tale of a man and a battle that ne'er shall be forgotten.

Raids

The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)

The clockwork fortress that manifested itself in verdant Dravania did bear an uncanny resemblance to the great steel giant sung of in the legends of the Hotgo, an Auri tribe hailing from far across the sea. Inspired by this tragic tale of a mechanical god who placed his trust in a single mortal soul, the wandering minstrel spreads the proverbial wings of imagination and takes flight, weaving an impassioned ballad of hope and despair profound.

PATCH 5.15

Blue Mage Update

Since last you met, Martyn has been striving to further the interests of the fledgling Blue Mages' Guild. Not only has he uncovered a wealth of powerful spells for you to master, he has also arranged for groups exclusively comprised of blue mages to journey into perilous territory to test the limits of their abilities.

PATCH 5.15

Frontline

Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam)

The Xaela of the Azim Steppe are renowned for their ferocity in battle, a traditional preoccupation that culminates once each Tsagaan Sar as they clash to earn the right to rule in the Naadam. Such infrequent conflict is insufficient to sate the Steppe's most zealous warriors, however, thus the Danshig Naadam─smaller contests to which the Grand Companies of Eorzea have now been welcomed. Join forces with the Maelstrom and the Orben people, the Adders and the Ejinn, or the Flames and the Horo in this grand demonstration of martial prowess, and may the mightiest prevail!

PATCH 5.11

Ishgard Restoration

With the Dragonsong War brought to its conclusion, the Houses of Lords and Commons have approved large-scale reconstruction works aimed at revitalizing the Holy See of Ishgard. The principal site for the project is the Firmament district, which sustained extensive damage during the millennium-long conflict. Appointed overseer of this endeavor is the young Lord Francel of House Haillenarte, who now seeks able and willing artisans the realm over to contribute to this great and noble cause.

PATCH 5.1

Beast Tribe Quests

Vrandtic folklore holds that pixies have a penchant for visiting the dreams of mortals. Assuming there is truth to this legend, what manner of dreams might these mischief-loving souls bring with them? If you would know the answer, close your eyes, suspend disbelief, and step into Lyhe Mheg─the fantastical Garden of Dreams...

PATCH 5.1

However, in order to cater to the needs of customers from every walk of life, he must seek the aid of none other than the Warrior of Darkness.
