Every major patch in Final Fantasy XIV since patch 6.1 has added a new PVP series to play through, with unique rewards up for grabs for those who put in the hard ꧃work against their fellow players. Patch 7.2 introduces PVP Series 8, and adds new items to buy with Trophy Crystals. 

As always, there are 30 basic Malmstone levels to work through, but you’ll only need to complete 25 of them if you want to get all of the unique series 8 rewards. Climbing throu💛gh the Malmstone levels will also provide you with mu🔯ch-needed Trophy Crystals, but more on how to spend those in just a little while. 

How to get Series EXP in FFXIV

Series EXP is earnedꦉ through playing PVP, and while you obviously get more when you win, you’ll still be rewarded at least somewhat if you don’t. The amount of Series EXP you need to increase a Malmstone level ranges between 2,000 (at level 1) to 10,000 (post-level 25). 

Here’s how much Series EXP yo𓄧u’ll earn through playing the different types of PVP:

You’ll also receive an additional 1,500 Series EXP each day for com▨pleting your Frontline Roulette, regardless of whereꦍ you place. 

Series 8 Malmstone rewards in Final Fantasy XIV

Although you’ll gain 1,000 Trophy Crys⭕tals for most Malmstone levels you achieve, every five levels you’ll get something potentially more worthwhile instead:

• Level 5: Ballroom Etiquette – Feigning Fainting
• Level 10: Fields of Glory Framer’s Kit
• Level 15: Clockwork Oppressor minion
• Level 20: Onsai Hakair Framer’s Kit
• Level 25: Magitek Slasher Identification Key

After claiming your level 25 reward, youꦆ’ll then be able to endlessly hoard Trophy Crystals until Series 8 comes to an end, and trust me, you’re going to need them. 

Previous PVP rewards available for Trophy Crystals

With the implementation of patch 7.2 and the beginning of Series 8, some previous PVP Series rewards have been added to the selection of items available from the Crystal Quartermaster at ꦐWolves’ Den Pier. These were highly sought after at the time that they were rewards, and it’s nice for people who missed out on them to have the chance to purchase them now.
