FFXIV Yokai Watch Collab Event – Everything You Need To Know

FFXIV – Yokai Watch Collab Event Guide

For starters, let’s talk about the event’s duration. The event will be available from April 24, 2024, at 1:00 AM PDT, and will run until the maintenance period leading up to the release date of Dawntrail. That is, the event will end on April 26, 2024.

FFXIV – Yokai Watch Collab Event Quest

To start the event quests, players must first be at or above level 15 in any class/job. They must also have completed any of the following Main Scenario Quests:

• The Gridanian Envoy
• The Lominsan Envoy
• The Ul’dahn Envoy

Once they meet the requirements, players must then head over to Ul’dah, Steps of Nald, where they will find the Poor-heeled Youth at coordinates (X:9.2, Y:9.1). The Poor-heeled Youth will give the player the quest A Complete Game Changer. Upon completion, the player will receive the Yo-kai Watch, a Yo-kai Medal, and a Yo-kai Medallium.

FFXIV – Yokai Watch Medal Farming

Once players receive the Yo-Kai Watch, they must then equip it (Bracelet slot) to start earning Medals. Players can obtain Yo-kai medals by participating in the game’s various FATEs. Yo-kai medals have a 100% drop rate as long as the player has the Yo-kai Watch equipped.

It’s important to note, however, that the FATEs in the Coerthas Central Highlands and Mor Dhona will not drop medals. Players must also have a Gold or Silver rating for them to receive Yo-kai Medals from a FATE.

As for what to do with these medals, players can exchange them for the various collab minions. These minions are available in The Gold Saucer from Nohi who is located at (X:5.2, Y:6.9). The first Minion players get will be worth 1 Medal, while every minion after is worth 3 Medals each (49 total medals are needed to get all minions).

Here is a full list of minions that players can get:

• Jibanyan
• Komasan
• USApyon
• Whisper
• Shogunyan
• Hovernyan
• Komajiro
• Noko
• Venoct
• Kyubi
• Robonyan F-Type
• Blizzaria
• Manjimutt
• Lord Enma
• Lord Ananta
• Zazel
• Damona

Any medals that players still have in their inventory from the event’s original run can still be used in this event. Additionally, unlocking all 17 minions will allow players to buy the Yo-kai Watch Framer’s kit from Nohi using Manderville Gold Saucer points (MGP).

FFXIV Yokai Watch Weapons

Other than minions, players can also receive various Yo-kai Weapons. Each of the 17 minions corresponds to their own Yo-kai Weapon, with all jobs except Reaper and Sage having a unique weapon.

To get the weapons, players must first unlock the weapon’s corresponding Yo-kai Minion. Then, they must summon said Yo-kai Minion, before heading to specific locations. Once in said location, players must then participate in FATEs in that area alongside the Minion.

Doing so will give players the chance (around 30% according to some players) to get their equipped Minion’s Legendary Medal. Additionally, players must have at least a Silver Ranking to be able to get a chance to obtain a Legendary Medal.

Players will need 5 Legendary Medals for their first Yo-kai Weapon, and 10 Legendary Medals for the following ones.

Below are the Weapons that players can get, their corresponding Minions, and the locations whose FATEs players have to participate in:

FFXIV – Yokai Watch Mounts

Once players have claimed 13 minions, they will receive an achievement: You Must Needs to Befriend Them All I. Once the player has received this achievement, they must make their way to Jonathas, who is located in Old Gridania (X:10.5, Y:6.3). Select Achievement Reward, then Quests to get your Whisper-go mount.

In the same way, upon unlocking 13 Yo-kai Weapons, players will receive the achievement More Inventory Slots, Please IO. This will allow the player to unlock the Whisper A-go-go mount from Jonathas. Unlocking all 17 weapons will give players another achievement, after which they can claim the Jibanyan Couch.
