Greetings, everyone! Zhexos here.
We hope you’re all enjoying the Moonfire Faire! The event ends on Wednesday, August 26 so be sure to take part if you haven’t done so already! /flamedance
Once the faire comes to an end, the Rising event will Rise up. (No, not that Rise! Don’t get me started singing that or I won’t be able to stop.)
It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost been seven years since A Realm Reborn released. Seven years! Can you believe that!? Seven is often a lucky number (especially in FINAL FANTASY), so we need to enjoy ourselves this year!
◆Event Period
From Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 a.m. to Monday, September 14 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
◆How to Participate
Begin by speaking to J’behn Tia in Ul’dah – Steps of Nald (X:10.3 Y:8.3).
◆Quest Details – Art of Glass
The Rising festival is known for bringing a splash of color to Ul’dah, and this year’s celebration is especially vibrant. J’bhen Tia’s exhibition of stained glass evokes memories of a pivotal moment in history, but he will need the assistance of a willing volunteer to ensure the event proceeds without a hitch.
◆Event Rewards
▼Wall-mounted Furnishing: The Sultana’s Seven
Check out this gigantic, gorgeous stained glass artwork, that features a fancy frame!
▼Minion: Wind-up Ardbert
A minion that looks like Ardbert!? His animation is quite interesting as well, so be sure to get it.
Furthermore, you can purchase various festive items from the Rising Vendor in Ul’dah.
Get your friends together and celebrate this special event with some heavenscrackers and magicked prisms, and don’t forget to pop open a bottle of Realm Reborn Red as well!
(We may have gone a bit overboard with the new Sticker Mode here. It’s awesome, so check it out!)
Since this is the Rising event, wonder if we’ll get to see that certain someone again…
That’s it for now, folks! Allow me to sit back, sip on some Realm Reborn Red in real life and enjoy the fireworks.
