With Dawntrail just around the corner, there are a lot of things happening in Eorzea to keep Final Fantasy XIV players occupied while they wait impatiently for the doomed summer hol🎀iday they’ve been promised.

The latest event is going to be running alongside the Moogle Treasure Trove: The Second Hunt for Genesis, the Yo-kai Watch collaboration, and thanks to the latest iteration of the Free Login Campaign, rꦬeturning players can take part without having to pay a subscription for up 💝to 96 hours. 

Breaking Brick Mountains will return for the fifth time at 1 a.m. PDT/4 a.m. EST on June 5 and you can take part in events until June 20, so there’s plenty of time to take part in the FATEs and get your Dragon Quest themed items. This includes the King Slime Crown which inspires the FFXIV ’s chosen cat✤chphrase for the event, ‘gettin’ jiggly with it’.

If you’ve completed the event in previous years, you can join in and experience all of the Dragon Quest references by using the Seasonal Event Replay feature of FFXIV. Regardless of whether you join in or not, be prepared to see a large numb💧er of wobbly sli𝓀me hats.
