There have been countless items added to the game over the years, including some that were available via limited-time events that are not scheduled to return or otherwise only featured limited chances to acquire them.

Therefore, we have decided to introduce this special opportunity on a trial basis to either make these items available again or provide an easier, limited-time method to obtain them.

The returning item this time is the Fafnir statue, a furnishing from the notorious monster that appears as part of the current "Strange Happenings in Vana'diel" event. Placing it in your Mog House provides you with a Moghancement effect, so it's definitely worth playing through the event to obtain the item.

You can also obtain colored chips, which are items needed for the strange apparatus machines, the quest "In the Name of Science," and acquiring rune equipment. This is your chance to easily obtain these items from the Curator Moogle without having to buy them from a shop that is only open during certain hours.


■ Returning items
Fafnir statue



■ Colored chips
Red chips, blue chips, yellow chips, green chips, clear chips, purple chips, white chips, black chips
