Heavensturn is returning to FFXIV with a most adorable reward

Starlight Celebration is drawing to a close in Final Fantasy XIV and it will soon be time to move onto the next time limited event — Heavensturn.

What is Heavensturn?

Inspired by traditional eastern celebrations of New Years, Heavensturn is centered around the Chinese Zodiac. As such, the event takes inspiration from the animal of the year: Dragons. We’ll see how this year’s antics unfold via the aptly titled event “Tip the Scales in Your Favor”.

How to start the Heavensturn event in Final Fantasy XIV

Between December 31 2023 and January 15 2024, players can approach Ryu Metsuke (X11.5 Y13.9) on the Upper Decks of Limsa Lominsa in order to pick up the level 15 quest “To Be a Mascot”. He “seeks the aid of a kindly adventurer”🐷, but there is no further information about what we’re likely♕ to be doing. 

Rewards for completing Heavensturn 2023

As always, you’ll earn a unique reward for completing the quests of Heavensturn. This year, we’re going to receive a particularly adorable minion called Ryunosuke:

This little Chocobo Chick is getting into the spirit of the Year of the Dragon by d�❀�onning a costume. Clearly this reflects his inner fierce beast. 

No new clothing or housing items are being rewarded for the quest this year. H⛦owever, iteꦓms from previous years will be for sale on the .
