Dev Blog: The Fresh Prince of Uznair

FFXIV News - Dev Blog: The Fresh Prince of Uznair
Today we have another FFXIV: Heavensward article from the dev blog for you to read. We have quoted the new info below.

Hello once more, Warriors of Light!

It’s certainly been a busy week for new information, hasn’t it? Luckily for us, that’s not over–Project Manager M was kind enough to divulge some details on the new addition to the Lost Canals of Uznair being added with Patch 4.1: The Hidden Canals of Uznair!

First they were lost, now they’re hidden, really–someone should do a better job of keeping track of these canals. But I digress, let’s take a look at what’s in store.

For starters, in order to enter the Hidden Canals of Uznair, you must procure a Timeworn Thief’s Map, which occasionally will drop from the treasure coffers in the Lost Canals. Are you following me so far? Lost → Hidden.

Your next order of business will be to read the Timeworn Thief’s Map to search for where the entrance of these Lost Canals are hidden. You’ll use the same general action “Dig” at the location to teleport into these mysterious caverns of mystery.

The teleportation wards can even spawn underwater!

Neat, right? Without further ado, let’s head down into these Hidden Canals of Uznair!

For those of you Canal Dwellers who have already made your way through the Lost Canals, you may be surprised to see that there are three portals in this room! Three!

As if it wasn’t hard enough to decide which one to pick when we only had two…

The monsters lying in wait here in the Hidden Canals are also more powerful than those you have encountered in the previous regions of Uznair, so we definitely recommend getting a solid party of adventurers together for the trek.

Editor’s Note: You might notice that the party pictured above looks a bit light… but they had help from the Twelve (or, you know, developer commands) to tackle this content for the sake of sharing with you… we recommend that you take a party of 8!

Mandragoras on the loose! Mandragoras on rampage! The produce section has gone mad!
The key to obtaining piles of treasure in the Hidden Canals of Uznair is found in the centerpiece of this mysterious location: Abharamu’s Lure!

Abharamu’s Lure will appear randomly and let you wager your treasure on what is essentially a game of high or low.

You can take on the challenge up to 5 times in a row, and the rewards get better and better each time you guess correctly! However, if you lose–even once— you lose out on all the rewards in the chest.

Naturally, you can quit while you’re ahead, so it becomes a test of strategy, willpower and how calm you can keep under pressure!

What vast wealth of treasures await you in the depths of the Hidden Canals of Uznair? Fortune seekers will be able to take on the challenge beginning on October 10th, with the release of Patch 4.1–The Legend Returns.
