FFXIV events in 2025, what's coming next?
The Make It Rain Campaign
The Make It Rain Campaign in Final Fantasy XIV is a recurring seasonal event centered around the Gold Saucer and the fan-favorite Hildibrand Mandeville, offering players increased rewards and exclusive items. Here are the main features to look forward to:
- MGP Bonus: During the event, players earn 50% more MGP from activities such as mini-games, Triple Triad, and the Fashion Report. However, MGP earned from cards remains unchanged.
- Discounted Items: Various items, including housing decorations and Gold Saucer attractions (e.g., Crystal Tower striker, Monster Toss machine), are available at reduced MGP costs through the Campaign Attendant.
The event has typically rewarded players with cosmetic items and furniture like the Cactuar Dining Table and other costumes. So with that in mind, we can probably expect even more cosmetic rewards from the 2025 Campaign as well.
