Final Fantasy XIV events change often, and missing a limited-time quest or reward is frustrating, especially when you find out too late.
Right now, FFXIV has active seasonal events offering exclusive outfits, emotes, minions, and housing items that are only available for a short time.
This guide focuses on what is live right now in Final Fantasy XIV, how long each event takes to complete, and which rewards are worth prioritizing if your playtime is limited.
Instead of guessing or checking multiple sources, you can quickly see current events, completion time estimates, and upcoming content in one place.
I keep this page updated regularly so you can log in with a plan and avoid missing any limited-time rewards in Eorzea.

As of now, Moonfire Faire 2025 is the only active seasonal event in Final Fantasy XIV.
There are currently no live Moogle Treasure Trove campaigns, collaboration events, or limited-time crossover events running alongside Moonfire Faire. Major patch-related content is available permanently and is not considered a limited-time event.
This page is updated whenever a new seasonal, collaboration, or limited-time campaign goes live, so players can quickly see what is worth prioritizing.
Ongoing FFXIV Event: Moonfire Faire
The seasonal Moonfire Faire 2025 event is now live in Final Fantasy XIV.
It began on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 1:00 AM PDT and will end on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 7:59 AM PDT. That’s 1:30 PM IST for the start and 8:29 PM IST for the end.
Open to all players with characters around level 30 or higher. Make sure your character can accept seasonal event quests.
To participate, players should head to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and speak to the NPC Mayaru Moyaru.
The starting quest is typically available to characters who have reached level 30 or above, and is easy to complete for most players.
This year’s rewards include summer-themed outfits, a new dance emote, and a cheerful minion that fits the event’s tropical feel.
The event is listed on the Lodestone under the 2025 seasonal events.
Players can also expect festive furnishings for in-game housing, perfect for decorating beach-style rooms or gardens.
All rewards are limited-time and exclusive to this event.
Moonfire Faire Quest Overview
The Moonfire Faire questline follows a simple, story-focused structure that is designed to be accessible to casual players.
After accepting the starting quest in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks, players complete a short sequence of errands and interactions tied to the festival theme. The questline focuses on exploration and dialogue rather than combat.
There are no job restrictions, combat challenges, or difficult mechanics involved, making this event easy to complete on any class. All rewards are unlocked by finishing the main questline, with no hidden requirements.
Fastest Way to Complete Moonfire Faire 2025
I have completed Moonfire Faire multiple times across different years, and it has consistently been one of the easiest seasonal events to finish without pressure.
If you only want the rewards and do not plan to explore everything, Moonfire Faire is one of the quickest seasonal events in Final Fantasy XIV.
From my experience completing this event in previous years, the entire questline usually takes around 30 minutes if you follow the main objectives only.
You can start in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks, follow the quest markers without distractions, and finish everything in a single session. There is no combat involved, so gear and job choice do not matter.
This makes Moonfire Faire ideal for players logging in briefly or juggling other patch content.

How I Track and Verify FFXIV Events
I actively track Final Fantasy XIV events by checking in-game announcements, the Lodestone, and live event timers as soon as a new event begins.
I usually complete seasonal events within the first one or two days to confirm reward availability, quest structure, and total completion time. This helps ensure that the information shared here reflects actual in-game experience rather than announcements alone.
When events change or new limited-time campaigns are announced, this page is updated to reflect current availability and priorities.
I am an active Final Fantasy XIV player with several years of experience completing seasonal events, limited-time campaigns, and casual content. I focus on tracking event dates, completion times, and exclusive rewards so players can avoid missing time-limited items.
This guide is based on direct in-game experience and official announcements, and is updated regularly to reflect live event availability.
How to Prepare for Seasonal Events?
From personal experience, inventory space is the most commonly overlooked issue, especially when events include housing items and glamour rewards.
Seasonal events in FFXIV are fun but easy to miss if you’re not ready. This is how to prepare so you can enjoy them without stress.
- Stock Up Early: Save gil for dyes, gear, and vendor items. Keep glamour prisms and popular dyes (like Pure White or Jet Black) ready.
- Clear Out Inventory: Free up space in your bags and retainers. Throw away or store old gear you don’t need.
- Level Key Jobs: Most events need your class to be level 30 or more. Do daily roulettes or FATEs to level up faster.
- Log In Regularly: Some events have daily quests or limited-time tasks. Logging in each day helps unlock all rewards.
- Check Vendors Early: Visit the event shop to see what’s available. Plan what to earn or buy before the event ends.
Should You Prioritize This Event?
If you have limited playtime, Moonfire Faire is worth completing as early as possible.
Seasonal outfits and emotes from this event rarely return for free, and similar rewards have appeared later on the Mog Station as paid items. Completing the event now saves both time and money in the long run.
If you care about collecting limited-time cosmetics, this event should be treated as a priority before focusing on patch content or side activities.
Conclusion
There’s nothing worse than finding out you missed a cool mount, emote, or outfit just because the event ended a day ago.
That’s why I make it a habit to check the Lodestone or Twitter every few days, especially when a patch or holiday is coming up.
The events come and go quickly, so I also like to mark the start and end dates in my calendar. It helps me plan ahead so I don’t miss out on limited-time rewards.
If you’re like me and enjoy collecting seasonal items or trying out new quests, it’s worth keeping an eye on the official news.
Feel free to bookmark this blog; I’ll keep updating it with the latest events each month, so you can always be ready.
That way, you’ll never miss a quest, festival, or fun new feature in Eorzea. Thanks for reading, and happy adventuring!
Frequently Asked Questions

Most seasonal events run for about 2 to 3 weeks. Exact start and end dates vary, so it is best to complete them early rather than waiting until the final days.
